Ships with max upgrades fix

[SirEmi]

- If you try to buy / resupply a fleet that costs more then 5% of 9.223.372.036.853.190.000 credits ( 461.168.601.842.738.900 credits ), and don't have the full amount of credits for the ship(s) + installed upgrades, you will get the following error: "For ships of this size and cost, we need the full amount of credits before we can deduct any production bonuses."

- There is no way of resupplying a fleet that costs more then the maximum value, a fleet can cost more if you design a max cost ship hull then install some upgrades, in that case you will get the above error until you uninstall some upgrades to bring it below max cost, or reduce the hull size until the total ship cost including upgrades before bonuses is equal or below available credits in the mothership.

I still think it's wrong, but you are right I accepted those terms when I joined, sorry to sound like I am whining but I do think it is wrong to change the rules without prior notice.

[lostedchylde]

well what did you expect 42? it's not what we want or like.. changing the required credits to buy max ship is ridiculous. e, i would like to know why you are insisting on destroying what was THE BEST GAME online.????

Hes not changing the price hes making it so you can buy 1 max price ship with 100 Max cost weapons on it. Then sell each weapon one at a time to buy more ships.

[42]

Thats not true, I just tried to make a max ship, when I totted up the price (I made a mistake while designing) total cost of hull and equipment was just short of 3000 credits over max cost and I wasn't allowed to resupply it.

Therefore I assume I have to build a ship that comes to max price or less, therefore I cannot sell equipment to buy more ships, not a major problem I will just have to work harder to get the creds, buts Losted's remarks are still valid, effectively Sir Emi has changed the price of the ships.

[SirEmi]

Let's see it was like this:

If you buy a 100 bil ship and install 50 bil upgrades you are charged with 150 bil.
If you buy a max cost ship with 100 x max cost upgrades you are charged max cost. (not an intended ship price  )

Now it's like this:

If you buy a 100 bil ship and install 50 bil upgrades you are charged with 150 bil.
If you buy a max cost ship with 100 x max cost upgrades you are charged 110 x max cost witch you have no way of obtaining on hand so you have to lower your ship cost to below the max that u can have on hand.

We are able to do this because the server CPUz can indeed calculate more then max cost, however the database can not store a bigger value 

Great fix to make sure you get what you bargain for.

yeah, we are all laughing. right.NOT

But this update has no sence....

Rules to max out:
- Have a total of 9.223.372.036.853.190.000 credits or more in Mothership + Secret Base
- Reach and maintain total power of 9.223.372.036.853.190.000 or more in the rankings until the end  of DDAY
- Those that max out will have a permanent protection and can not attack or be attacked

So when you get enough credits to buy the old maxed out ships with 100x 1 weapon. You have enough credits to buy powerships instead. When you reach max power you get permanent protection and cannot be protected. So this change didnt do anything.

Good point mabby Emi should make sure PowerShips cant be used to max power?
