Combination Upgrade Points and Cash

For empires without the ability to produce their own Upgrade Points, how about the option to mix cash and upgrade points when upgrading a mech? It would give everyone the ability to use all their 50 Upgrade Points they received during the new year.

cecil, that's great, but what exactly would the mix be? as many upgrade points as you have plus (points owned)/(points required) times cash required?

I would say just do a simple percentage. If you have 50% of the upgrade points needed, count it as 50% off the cost.

I would have to agree with sk7. That seems to be the most simple and straightforward way of calculating it out.
So, say my Griffin costs me $45,605,307 or 55 Upgrade Points to upgrade the mech. I have 50 from the gift the admins gave me. (55-50)/55 = 9.09% x $45,605,307 = $4,145,937. Therefore, it would cost me my 50 upgrade points I currently have, plus an additional $4,145,937 to upgrade the Griffin.

I suggest a dialog box allowing you to choose how many muks to use.
