It would be 50% but yeah, good idea there.

You don't get it; you will NEVER lose items in the new (current) system. The worst that will happen is they will degrade to 10% of their functionality, once their durability drops to 10%.

I would expect to see a number of items have their values updated to increase the cost of death, but it's already well over the cost of a GG 21 if you kit out with all upgraded Olympus gear.

Anyway, back to Crazy Glue. The most natural analogue would be for it to give each piece of gear a 2% chance per level of not losing durability upon death. Variations on that should still preserve the basic idea that the expected cost of each death is lowered.

Also Paxx, I think once the system is established and Scraps are available to buy/sell at AI bases, it will be more lucrative to scoop the scraps from a kill (from a typical end game setup Jey indicated you'd get at least 200-300m maybe more worth of scraps per kill), rather than 100-125m from one gear glue.

And enk I used 1% per level as I thought 2% per level would be too high, but whatever value, it is the most natural progression from CG.

I suppose CG could give you a chance that your repair items stay on your ship rather than popping out. But that would really only help you in PvP situations.

I was thinking that the repair items would only be generated and pop out when gear was damaged, and each item would have a chance of avoiding damage with the CG skill.

Sounds good.

Then there could be a different system for when killed by a player, but if you lose 50m worth of repair items to ai it's still losing 50m isn't it?

If not, then the system for AI could be that you lose less durability

You don't need two systems. Whenever you die, each equipped item has a chance of losing durability based on your CG skill (50% when maxed if the system is completely analogous). You drop repair debris based on how much durability you lost. That's it.

I'm confused now, is there a topic fully explaining what this new system does cause I was under the intention nothing drops any more.

Also thank you for the free week.

Gear won't drop, but if you die, your gear has a chance to lose durability. If your gear loses durability, you will drop scraps proportional to the amount of durability you lost. Not at a 1:1 ratio, but it scales with item rarity.

Something came to my mind. Does the new system only apply to equipped items? In this case, does that mean Gunner and FC can continue to use fighters/missiles without having them being affected by this system?

i expect the launcher will be damaged rather than the missiles/fighters idk
