UPGRADE OVERHAUL INCOMING

[Kagimizu]

So a while back, people were voicing certain issues they have with the forum system. Specifically that there was a lack of diversity or dynamics. While that's true in a multitude of areas, there was one area in which I was confident I could provide something people could enjoy. As a result, following discussion with other admins of the forum, big changes will be coming to the upgrades system in the near future. This is still a work in progress however, and will still need more discussion, ideation, suggestions, and refinement. However, the admins have all agreed with the overall basis of these ideas, and thus I'm putting them out in the open for the rest of the forum to give input on.

Due to being such a massive change in how suits are equipped- and quite possibly overwhelming for some- there are two big things worth saying:

• The upgrades will not be in place until Tier 5: No worries about your current suit being utterly irrelevant while we have a big mission around the corner, that's not happening. These upgrades still need to be further refined after all, and some old ones still need to be given a keen look. Once the new tier hits people will be looking to change out, renovate, or practically rebuild their mobile suits from the ground up.
• Old upgrades will be refunded at full price: Some upgrades are irrelevant, some have been changed, and some just aren't gonna fit your play style. And with the difference between tune ups and core upgrades, now you can actually customize your suit for a truly defined fighting style. But the combination of tune ups and core upgrades are going to be slightly pricier than the upgrades of old. So that's why when Tier 5 comes around, your upgrades will be refunded at their full cost regardless of whether they were used in battle or not, ensuring you have enough credits to well and truly customize your Mobile Suit.

With all of that said, by all means give your feedback, opinions, suggestions and ideas. Hopefully you'll be looking forward to this.
