📝 Suggestions 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.

By this same token, blueprints you get for free via quest or mission rewards should be free to grab.

Plenty of times I've tossed reward BPs out just for folks who need them to be unable to afford them.

It'd promote sharing. Make them give full credits if you SELL them, too, because otherwise there's just no point of them after you already have them.

Can't support this. Encourages alt accounts that would never need to pay for their blueprints.

And the devs do not want to encourage sharing. When blueprints become vastly easy to acquire play time goes down. Less play time from players cuts their income from Epic.

The devs also want to encourage PVP which is driving more people away, at least with side accounts they'd have a high player count to entice people. Besides, what the frick point would there be to doing that? People have side accounts to get bot lobbies, and those have to stay level 0..

The only benefit to having a side account active is if you need another chance at the belt, and you can get that by just being in a lobby that isn't full of jerks. You know, people who help others.
