in bout cheetah when you get a red armor box in sector it 100% of the time is the same bot type as the person who gets it, it wasn't like this in BOTS!! (or I don't remember it ever being that way)
this means, for example, theres no way for a patch to get surge or ram parts in sector
this was never a big deal and im sure most players liked it that way.. because you could change the part type with a trans coupon if you needed to
but now.. its not worth it to pay $2.50 everytime you want to change your parts/bot type, plus you have to pay another $2.50 to change back to your original bot type.
this effects the market a lot because when you are selling a patch part only patches are going to want to buy it. It may not be that way now, but once theres no more trans coupons left it will be that way.
As a patch, this sucks because patches are by far the least used bot type. Theres now even more reason to choose surge because that's what the majority of people are. So theres basically a system now where you are immediately at a disadvantage by picking a non popular bot type. Theres a ton less parts for sale of your bot type.. I envision a future where all players are surges, because of this.
I think that there should be:
a) a transcoupon type thing that doesn't change your bot type, it just changes the type of whatever parts are in.. say.. the first 3 slots of your inventory. this could be bought for like 100k coins like the old trans coupons.
b) make it so all bot types can get armor of all bot types in red boxes from sector mode
c) add another way to get trans coupons
d) make it so members get 1 trans coupon every 30 days but there is no other way to get them
I didn't put this in suggestions because I am trying to explain a problem and I just felt like giving some possible solutions to it for discussion
