Should You Buy a Chipset Controller? Y/N
Sweet Drinker
As you can see the results in Basic Calculations show alot of red.
Only a Division 4 player shows a guarnteed savings (4.319g) buying a Chipset.
Even a Division 3 player eats a near 5g loss of capital buying a chipset.
As for Divisions 1&2... it's a massive initial loss.
Based purely on price/return only Division 4 would buy these.
However: Consideration must be made for BH gold.
It's unlikely to score a BH medal without using atleast 1 rocket.
In Battle Hero Medal Inclusive Calculations you can see how many BH medals you would need to achieve in order to offset the initial cost of the Chipset Controller module.
A Division 1 player is clearly taking a big risk buying the Chipset. They need to score a BH with every single Rocket the Chipset produced in order to escape a negative return on investment. Even if you're "king of the lilliputians" that's unlikely.
A Division 2 player should consider this option abit more. Needing 4 BH's from 7 rocket is still alot. But if your a high strength/rank player within the division that might be possible. There is a top-end return of 11 and 1/2 gold (good luck achieving that!)
A Division 3 player with good stats has a very good chance of making a return on the Chipset investment. Doubling up (storing a Rocket overnight so 2 can be used the following day) twice they pop a cool 1 million on the boards before they even hit. Leaving 3 Rockets to toy with.
A Division 4 player need only concern themselves with whether they are a Rocket user. If yes then this module is a no-brainer!
If the following is just jibberish to you don't worry about it, just alil geek fun

Sooo much economical crap and Sweet is still not able to show us finance books.....amazing..
I noticed new unit was born today...Belfast Brigade...the last version of BB was "removed".
Did Sweet payed for this new MU also?
*The charm of your 'Kurgan thing' wore off a long time ago, now ppl just think you're a nutter.
-Only you could do something to change that.
*You do 15 points of strength training
-It's unlikely your personal strength will ever shift the balances of battles (except the odd candybar rush)
*This suggests you've little personal revenue
-It's unlikely you could ever finance an organization
But you might become dangerous if you knew how to make money.
My notes might do just that.

"...real democracy is when you can tell Fk the government and Fk the congress.
I am in congress and i am in govenment and i say Fk all.
Every irishman has right of choice..."
You claim I have a choice whether I show you how to become wealthy:
I choose not to.
Solid data man I like it!!
Yes, the flaw in Kurgan's arguments is that essentially he's a lightweight.
Not his fault of course, maybe he's cash-strapped or maybe he doesn't like buying gold.
Maybe he can't manipulate the market.
Just think it's ironic that the commander of gore/chaos has all the strength of a powder puff
nice article V+S
"*The charm of your 'Kurgan thing' wore off a long time ago, now ppl just think you're a nutter.

I'm actually starting to miss Kurgan's multi SHM.
WTF when I saw the title I taught you were looking at buying a certain type of motherboard and wanted advice, fuck this game just gets madder and madder.
As a studying economist I appreciate your articles and I understand some of the work you have to put in to write out a few of these. Good job.
good numbers.
Marcus, that's not the game, that's just you : /
