    Piggybacking off of this thread: https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/10-things-i-think-i-think.19191/

    One of the best suggestions in that thread is to remove the cost to salvage perks from an item. I think that this is an excellent suggestion and would be received positively by the entire player-base.

    We already OWN THE PERKS. Why do we have to PAY TO MOVE THEM? We don't have to pay to move any of our other items!

    Currently the only people that this does not hurt are the whales with an abundance of perks and pearls. This is hurting 99% of the players.


    Right now there are too many things that require pearls. Training, purchasing crates, purchasing boosts, and salvaging perks. I guarantee that every single pearl that has been spent salvaging perks WOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT ON SOMETHING ELSE. This means that pearl-spending will not go down, but it will just be more effective, which is good for everyone.

    Guild Quests have made this issue even worse as now you have to swap your mortar perks between whichever mortar you've got on this board. The implementation of Guild Quests made swapping weapons necessary, but it is still way too expensive to actually swap between weapons.

    And if a new game-mode or event comes out that requires pearls again, then we will be even more strapped for pearls.


    Devs, please help us players and remove this cost. We will still spend our pearls. But we just want to spend them on boosts or training rather than swapping perks.

    Actually they're not paying for air but for economic choices (theirs and ours). we choose to consume things without questioning their environmental impact, some people suffer more than others and nobody seems to care.

    I was going to write that it was pointless to have a vote on this, as surely everyone would support the idea of getting something free that we currently pay for.

    And then I saw the results of the vote :(

    As was said in the excellent post you referenced... :D
    I think allowing this would allow more versatility of weapons used or allow the same weapons to be used in different ways from match to match.


    Regarding the negative votes (besides trolling): I guess, if you've finally got perks for all your weapons and extra perks for your "spare" weapons, you might not like giving everyone else the ability to freely switch them between weapons. Although you could always sell your surplus ones so it would still be beneficial.

    I just personally don't see why we're being "charged" for items we already have obtained.

    Maybe a dev could give us the rationale behind why this was implemented in the first place?

    Why is there no charge to change weapons on a ship? Why are we not charged when we want to switch ships and play fixer instead of shooter?

    Both questions seem silly to me, but why do it with perks?

    I agree, you’d think they’d at least let VIPs swap perks and crew talents without all the frustration.

    The worst part is, you can’t even try stuff out to see if you like it, because you’d better like it, else it will cost you double to change everything back.

    On a similar note, they really need to make it so you can swap crew training while another crew is training.

    Some of mine take 3-4 days to finish training, and during that time I’m completely locked out of making adjustments if I want to change ship or weapon.

    This is one of the better idea I heard in a while. This is one of the most annoying restrains of the game. Make it its own thread so many people can see it.

    I don't think perk cost should be removed. It teaches you to think before you do something. It is balancing it out. Besides pearls is pretty easy to obtain anyways. Achievements, shipment, guild raffle, and etc.

    Free no! Reasonable yes! 25 pearls for swapping epic perks is too costly.There should not be any pearl cost for perk salvage
