Sellback of patch-devalued items

Suggestion: Allow players to sell back items to a vendor for a small percentage (e.g. 25%) of the cost in EC, fleet credits, and dilithium used to upgrade them. It would be a nice way to mitigate the frustrations of players who have invested a lot into certain gear that is unlikely to be used after the balance changes, e.g. plasma exploder consoles, and give them a one-time insertion of cash to assist a little bit in acquiring items that are more useful in the current version.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
This, iuf you are going to get a % back of what the cost to upgrade was, then you should also give a % back of the dilithium, reputation marks, and EC that you earned using said consoles. Only fair
I agree, NO.
Thing is, they devaluated our stuffz, *precisely* so they can start selling us moar stuffz. 'Refund' is a not a term which fits in said plan.
If you don't enjoy playing, perhaps you should stop
as do I, NO.
I could see fleet credits for the plasma consoles. Since that would be easy for them to do. Other then that the leech console is basically non-refundable.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! OH DAMN that was a good joke... wait you're serious??? LMFAO that's even funnier... grow up
I've seen a lot of talk about them being nerfed, but tbh I didn't see them listed in the tribble patch notes so idk, though I easily could have missed it in that list.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
The Plasma proc on Weapon Signature Nullifiers and Amplifiers from the Fleet Embassy no longer bypasses shields, has had its damage reduced to 25% of what it was previously, and now procs per cycle instead of per shot.
yikes huh? Sell for scrap is my advice.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Yikes, indeed! And once per cycle, for realz?! Cryptic, you gotta be kidding me!
And then to think they had already nerfed the Embassy consoles, earlier.
I generally consider it a bad idea to throw something like that away though. I'll park mine on an unused ship. No sense in throwing them away in case things change in the future.
This. I am, personally, rather amused that most of the "changes" which appear needed consist of going back to build patterns I'd been using pre-Delta Rising.
Exactly what has been devalued anyway? Leech and Embassy consoles are not the must-haves they once were; but neither was desperately expensive anyway, and both retain situational use. Threat control still has utility, especially with Reciprocity or Improved Feedback Pulse using builds, and 25% of a stupid amount of damage is still a bonus.
Ouch. Can relate to ppl wanting refund these if they got them for dps purpose.
But the again; upping consoles is insanely cheap compared to i.e. weapons.
1) You bought and used the items already. So you got your mileage out of them, helping you gain fame or self-respect for achieving new personal or player-wide DPS record, or earning you additional Dilithium and other game rewards.
2) If the game ever closes down, you won't get any refunds either, and then everything you've bought in this game will not just be neutered, it will stop existing.
