This feature will change massively the economic system, I suggest if this feature is implemented it is NOT done so until a new round.
What I suggest is a dynamic price system for hardware upgrades
The formula is
basecost = 300 for Bandwidth and Hard Disk, 150 for CPU and Memory
N =nth term, HD starts at 5, BW starts at 5?, CPU starts at 250?, HD starts at 2?
x = n / 25 Rnd Down
y = 0.9 + (0.2 * x)
(basecost*(N/16)+(N*(4+(N/4)))) / x / y
It produces a graph like this
I would like to rewrite the formula so that the cost increase increases each time forming a + curve not a - curve.
Also every 25 upgrades (per a type of upgrade) you need to refit your computer with new technology, it will cost quite a bit, but upgrading is cheaper after that. Thats why there are the dips in the graph
Any suggestions? What do you think?
