Variant Boosting Expansion / HQ suggestions
Information and some functionality is currently spread out or added in to existing pages. (card shop variant relations filter, manage card vrel, add to etc or the Variant boosting page)
Overall, it seems difficult to identify variant point values and food options. Some features are also hard to use like the card shop filter LONG SCROLL is painful to select your combinator/variant when you have a lot of them.
The variant page has improved with two drill down menus for tier and level.. that is a bonus but a table format(sortable) might be better and expanding the variant boost page entirely to become the headquarters for variant boosting information and food acquisition.
Possibly future version the game could continue integrating features of the market to make a hybrid market/boost page for the variants with all the tools in one place and which managers have requested.... like locks/sort/bulkbuy/etc. There isn't a lot of room for variant specific expansion in the existing card market or manage cards.
Just playing around, easier popped on photoshop than programmed but just functionality brainstorming, see screenshots.
You'd still have to select your items but doing so and the acquisition of boost food would be easier in this example.
It's likely a challenge to give all the functionality without making it too complex either but food for thought.
- some filter additions and addition of a field "boost value" to reflect points per pp
- an automated bulk purchase option could even be created with the pt to pp ration as the input. see screenshot
- provide bulk buy options
- ability to view variant point values for unowned cards
- hide locked / hide on tournament roster
Ideally variants should have a larger food value,, especially since supply could be less due to variant quicksell now possible.... or at very least create a modifier to special boosters for NeL and FL etc so the entire wonderful card database can be exciting in a VE world for players that pull or enjoy teams in those constructions..
- a large increase to lower tier variant food point values? (iron-silver, maybe gold too) 100,200,500,1000 too low

- ability to lock cards so they cannot be eaten and tournament rosters easier to keep in tact. (should mission locked cards even be food? locked is locked no?)

Variant Table Select vs dropdown/popup select
All levels dropdown is great to filter tiers but it will still be very hard to see which variants are which.
What level and what points submitted and remaining.. which ones have investment, which don't.
Also nice to see level 5/complete when a friend or community asks how hard is something to boost.
Add table format w/ select..
list submitted points, required points and percent?
Just an idea.
