Post Olympus+ Ship Blueprints
Can these be turned into ship upgrades? The time it takes to get a ship put to item form, and also to build the + version of the ship combined can take several weeks, and this is preventing a lot of people from playing the game, as they normally have their Olympus ships in constant use. So I was hoping there was a plan to make all Olympus Ship+ Blueprints into instant ship upgrade blueprints instead, such as the ones in Free Market. Admin responses is appreciated, along with added suggestion tweaking from other players.

All t20+ ships should have upgrades I think.

But this would cut out the admin's market on item forming ships to make + versions.

True, but there is still plenty of demand for the service apart from the building of + ships.

+ versions of ships are roughly 10% better statwise with a bonus, yet cost almost 100x as much in some cases. Very rarely are + ships used because the next tier is cheaper, and better, which is crazy.

I love the idea of turning a ship into a + form ship, could be the same cost too.

The player would have to remove everything (minus augs) on that ship and it would only take 1-3 days (seeing as they would be relinquishing their main ship im guessing to a base). Augs are not destroyed in the process. Hell, make the BP's more common but make them consumed in the process.

Why should you have to wait even more to upgrade your ship to +?

FYI there are already upgrade items that will instantly turn your ship-form Zebucart into a Zebucart+ (and likewise for other common ships), keeping augs and gear intact. The suggestion here (which I believe is already intended to go in) is for high tech + ship blueprints to not have the regular ship in their build cost, and produce such an upgrade item instead of producing the item form + ship directly. You would then use the item on your own ship to upgrade it.
