Borg Module Costs

posted on March 15th, 2011, 9:47 pm

Would it be possible so that the tooltip for each Borg module gave you the resource cost for adding that module?

Definitely possible, but you can already see the cost for a chosen set of modules, which is more useful unless you intend to do the math yourself to find out how many resources you need. If you plan on choosing between modules for a certain slot based on cost, just keep changing the module and look at the overall cost.

Would be nice for when nothing's happening and you need something to keep yourself busy, or for people who just like maths.

I have try to calculate the Module Costs. At time it is not possible because they have no fix price. It variate in each combination.

They do not vary by combination, only between chassis types

I have make a mistake while trying to make a linear seperation. It work but it is dificult especialy bacause the values are rounded. It woud be nice to see the module costs.

I like this idea, because sometimes you're looking for the cheapest module to install quickly, and it's easy to forget that stuff.  Otherwise, you'll have to try a bunch of different combinations to find the lowest price, and that might not be efficient.   It would also be a nice aesthetic change.

Actually, I just like making more work for Optec.

Is there somewhere where the modules costs are written down? Just curious really but don't want to do the maths.

The Guide database, Borg section, has a list of different combinations with time and cost. Maybe that'll help?

I wouldn't mind seeing individual module cost displayed at some point.

Yup, the new database on the guide will list those individual prices

I've looked at the example combinations on that link. Mainly I'm interested to see what each module is worth to give a better sense of what I'm spending my well earned resources on.

Awesome.
