Publishing my support case 322347 from 2016-05-02 15:20 here for the purpose of gathering momentum.
Hello,
I would like to suggest universal ammo be made usable by melee hunters. They are currently at a disadvantage, since they can not utilise the better conversion rate for their money by buying universal ammo through the webshop. After it was made usable with mining finders, this would be the logical next step.
An elegant way this could be achieved would be by simply dropping it into the repair terminal as offset against repair cost. Excess would be returned, if insufficient the remaining difference would be drawn from the PED balance as usual.
While thinking of melee hunters was the primary source for this idea, I can see no good reason why it shouldn't be possible to use for just any repairable item. Its value cannot leave the system without having to cycle through loot anyway.
A side effect of the excess return would be that amounts of decay could be easily measured to the full precision of 1/100 pec. Since players already achieve that with the help of fruit or sweat (the so-called fruit test), not more information would be given than already available, only in a more convenient way. This would likely be received with praise as well.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Best regards,
San
