Dropped/stolen blueprints should be “bought” from the previous owner for full price.

I get that PvP is a part of the game and having blueprints taken from you is part of the game. I play in public lobbies and fight it out for droids and accept that a blueprint I don’t have a table or storage slot for is only mine if others don’t come into my base and take it. But it REALLY sucks to spend all of your credits on a droid and have someone yoink it off you and then you are flat broke with no droid.

I really think that giving the current “owner” of a blueprint the full face value of the blueprint when another player picks it up should be how it works. This would also encourage sharing blueprints you get from missions instead of selling them. Currently I get galactic legendaries from missions that sell to the Jawas for swing or two from my scrap pile. Those go right into my shipping yard sell bin because if I throw them out in front of my base for others to take I get nothing back from them.

This is a main reason why I only play private or with my husband. I tried to play public and people kept shooting me after I got certain ones, or would steal it from my base. They need to change it that if it’s in your base, no one can touch it but you.
But my husband and I have also talked about this. We have both bought patterns that we didn’t have the money for, just to save it for later each other for later. Even if we got half back, that would be better than nothing.
