Something wrong/weird with UWC items

1. Why UWC ships come with number of improvement 1/x?

It also comes with unnecessary (random?) skill. I dont see why Papaya doent give us full improvement opportuniry. I think its a kind of harrassment to loyal customers who bought tickets as many as to get ships.
I could accept to buy SSIR to reset it if it were top tier UWC ship. But I couldnt for 3rd tier ships like Mod SS Xebec and Mod Halve Maen.


2. Why Battle skill adv. Instruction is untradable?

Its quite unreasonable that battle one is not tradable while adventure/trade is tradable. I first thought Papaya made it in consideration of PVP fairness. But it has rank15 cap, so it wont become unfair advantage.


3. Large Ship Blueprint doesnt increase success rate at all?

I used it to my G2 ship to make it easy to rebuild but it didnt increase the rate at all. I tried with material ships G0/G1/G2 (same type of ship to rebuild), it remained unchanged: 0%/0%/24%.
It certanly increase rebuild exp only by a bit, probably the same amount that we get by 1 or 2 times failure.
I suppose it may increase the rate significantly when I use 30 to 50 sheets but anyway the effect is never worth the price, 2.7 USD ea.

    First: I completely agree with you! I can't only comment about the Blueprints because i'm trying yet to figure out how they work. But based on what you say, and looking at their prices at UWC shop and how hard is to craft one doing rebuild with Large Carracks (the "cheapest" way), and we need toons of Large Carracks to make 1 Large Blueprint if they don't give a real boost to the rebuild, they don't worth the time and Money.

    Second: Ships comes in 1/x since before the wipe, in Netmarble and in OGP, this was and is a obvious manipulative and sordid choice to program those ship tickets to force everyone who want max out their ships to buy Special Shipbuilding Improvement Reset (aka: SSIR). And is more sordid because we don't have way to acess this thing without real money be expended by someone.

    It's always been like that since NetMarble days with any premium ship. I dont know the exact reason for it. One small advantage to this is, since it comes with 1 random ship skill, you can start grinding Management, Navigation, and Arms right away, at least once you've grown out of your school ship. There's also the potential of getting a really useful ship skill you normally cant get on it, though it's a long shot for it to happen.

    2. Why Battle skill adv. Instruction is untradable?

    I dont see any reason for this considering the ones for trade and adventure are tradable, and that it used to be tradable back on OGplanet

    3. Large Ship Blueprint doesnt increase success rate at all?

    That I can answer: The higher the grade on a ship, the more Blueprints it needs to fill up the bar/increase success rate (otherwise it would make getting a ship to G6 way too easy). A G2 ship is going to need a lot more Blueprints then a G0 ship.

    It was always that way since they were introduced.

    1/6 of ships so you need to dismantle them with a premium item.

    Level boost untradable so you do not abuse alt rewards.

    Blueprint has a diminishing effect as grade goes up so that you still find the need to purchase ship grade boost +10%, 30%, 50%, and Ultimate Ship Blueprint USB

    also notice that lower Grade mats WILL ALWAYS HAVE 0% CHANCE, and it doesn't change with any of the other ways to improve grading success.

    LSBP are easy to obtain in game and way cheaper, also they do not affect success directly like a grade boost, but rather indirectly by filling the exp bar, for  maximum effect on that side however you do need to fully fill that exp bar.

    BTW: in order of the prince update, which is 2 updates forward, you should be able to get rid of that extra skill/blank upgrade without cost! lets hope the server gets to see that.

    also at around 300-400m, the SSIR is not really expensive that is about the same as a single one of the latter improves of your ship.
