I understand where you are comming from but we consciously descided to no have any illumination upgrades (outside of scout's flaregun). New players need illumination most of all and so we've made the maximum available out of the gate which is why there are no flare upgrades (we used to have them but descided to just roll them all into the base flare.
Hey ! Sorry to ping you, but I do have a question that's been on my mind for a while.
In the beta versions of the game, outside of the resupplies, you could also order permanent, immobile light fixtures using nitra (or gold at the time) that looked like the ones you get on the aquark platforms.
Why wasn't this feature kept ? Using nitra to get a permanent light fixture seems like a good tradeof in my opinion. I'm not saying it should be in the game if it's not a good feature, I'm just curious as to why it isn't.
Thanks in advance for reading and for any answer !
Unfortunatelly I don't remember exactly why, it was not my call.
But if I had to think of a reason, it would be to keep the resource use more pure and coop friendly (nitra for ammo, gold for credits) and to not dilute the classes (scout with light, engi with turret)
