Unique upgrade

[The_queen_of_headhunters]

First of all， I am using the translation software， there will be some translation errors. I think that after WG changes the attributes of special upgrades， I think it is no longer necessary to install them. If I want to sell the number of products but can only get silver coins， but now if I want to get upgrades， I can only get them through the R & D Bureau. Then why am I not selling the R & D points？

it's the same as premium ships, when you sell them you don't get refunded in dubblons or cash but in credit instead

this is so you cant play something a lot, decide you don't want it and replace it with something else for free, standard business practice on maintaining the value of in-game economy system

I recall WG has stated that they want to make Unique Upgrades as "Sidegrades" with special perks that would benefit alternative playstyles rather than a no-brainer better alternative in contrast to regular upgrades (though in some circumstances, like the ones that would provide better accuracy, I think they will still remain very popular as no other regular upgrades can have the same effect).

About the second point... perhaps that's the way how WG handles in-game economy. Completely intentional like what Drakon has said above.
