40 sounds good to me, same cost as an empty and a gun, then commanders who like being hyperactive can upgrade extractor and gain extra cost/time benefit from not reconfiguring in recy.
I am just so glad to be free of the weapon config bug, all that hopping in and out of the rec to save 20 scrap drives me mad.

[Red Devil]

What bug was that?

[Zero Angel]

Thats the bug where you buy an unupgraded unit for a cheap cost and then upgrade it in the rec/fac while its building and get the upgrades for the same price as an unupgraded unit. IE: Blast tanks for 55 scrap

Also referred to as cheap scouts, cheap tanks, or cheapies.

get the upgrades for the same price as an unupgraded unit. IE: Blast tanks for 55 scrap.

I believe that exploit bug was fixed awhile back for the 1.3 patch.

40 is a great price, i dont think it would break the balance between race either. Although Scions will always be looking for a full scout because of the shield and blink, i can easily see myself making a quill empty or 2 at 40 scrap when isdf have the chains out just to stay in touch with the pools.

i vote for between 40-50

[bigbadbogie]

i sware the smartest way is to just add a system that adds the total of the selected weapon the the value of the ship...that will settle this argument - forever

Agreed, so get to it.

35, because if it was to be 40 or any more, nobody would use it.
first of all its even more expensive then simply dropping weapons, why bother then?
(in bz2 40 mostly costs more time then 2x20)
2nd because it would be a pain in the ass, say u need a laserscout and u have upgraded your emptys to chainscouts, u gotta get back in the rec again to change it, while if u didnt upgrade the scout u could just drop the laser and build the empty while u are fighting in the field, so not worth it if it costs even more.

cheers
