Community,
As of right now we have three methods of earning warbarge components:
- Mobile factory
- Randomly from strongboxes (ha!)
- Random EoM salvage
CCP Rattati has stated that some missions will begin to award warbarge components. This is good, but there needs to be more ways to earn components that involve playing Dust 514.
I propose that the mobile factory's output should be somehow modified by our activity.
Can we pay the factory staff overtime? Effectively making ISK increase the rate at which the factory produces components by a multiplier. The overtime pay only works for 24 hours at a time, but increases the rate at which components are earned very much like the way passive boosters increase the amount of SP earned per day.
Anyone else have ways we could earn more components via play rather than pay?

Cat Merc wrote:Scrap gear and turn it into components? I like that idea. Didn't Rattati say that he wants to have a way to convert junk gear into "nanite fluid" or something? Maybe junk loot gets turned into nanite fluid then that fluid can be used to make components?
Not sure how that would work exactly, but the concept is sound.

Not a bad reward, to be honest, but it's completely random and it doesn't reward play. That system rewards being a lucky bastard.

I think consecutive logins should increase the max output. Keeping your daily login maxed would result in 25% more production per day?
That said, I would rarely see this bonus, but I might try when I'm in town.

Maybe a flat component reward might be easier for CCP to implement though. 50 components per day, to a maximum of 500 per day?

500 might be too much. 25% would give me an extra 75 per day currently. That's at 300 (level 2?). With 400 per day the 25% bonus would be 100 per day. It would only get higher as you upgrade. I would start small, especially if we are going to start seeing components in Daily Missions, as well as more often in EoM salvage.

Agreed, every battle should GRANT a minimun amount of components as payout along with isk and SP.
Something like 10-15 components per battle.

Last night I think I was playing dust with some people and we thought warbarge components could maybe be another daily login bonus. Just throw it on top of the sp and scale in a similar way. Just a thought that rewards players for simply attempting to play the game.
While slow to anger and occasionally indecisive, they are also capable of harnessing enormous resolve when truly tested.

What is the maximum produced components per day? Anyone know?

Something like 10-15 components per battle. I mean, in skirm and dom missions we are destroying an MCC. Wouldn't some of that wreckage be usage for warbarge components? Makes perfect sense to me.

I read in a post over in the Features and Ideas section that had a pretty good idea, rewarding components to the winning team in a given match.
Personally, I liked the idea. Rather than wait months for the drizzle of components to come through or be forced to open your wallet, it gives each mercenary the ability to directly influence the production of their own barge through their actions on the battlefield.

The only possible downside I could see to this would be an increase in pubstomping to grind out components, but maybe with more stomp squads running about MM'ing will throw them against each other and kill off a bit of ISK.
Also bumping because somehow this thread almost climbed to page 3, and I think this is an important discussion that could lead to the lowering of some pitchforks.

That actually might turn me back into a daily player or at least a daily login'er (a free match or two of SP just ain't enough). That is until I maxed the warbarge out; though it'll probably still take a good while.
Why does everyone ignore the point?

I'm surprised they haven't done that already then, seeing as that's what they want to achieve.

The ability to speed up my warbarge construction through victories would turn my 1 - 3 matches per night into 5+ matches. I want the ability to develop my warbarge through hard work, not the ability to wait long periods of time
