Yes, yet another topic about energy. But rather than the usual topic about the prices of Crystal Energy and whatnot, I have come up with an idea aimed more towards players who cannot play Spiral Knights on a daily basis. It would be a sort of Mist Collector, Mist Condenser, or something to that effect. The basic idea is that it is a usuable item that when used will automatically take 100 Mist Energy, and turn it into a Mist Tank. The condenser would be deactivated in the same way. This item would allow for those who cannot play regularly to still use all their Mist Energy at a later point without letting it go to waste.

This new item would not disrupt the Crystal Energy market either, since only a maximum of 100 Mist Energy can be used at any one point for crafting new alchemical items. This would mean that players would still need to get Crystal Energy through other means, since even if a player were to hoard Mist Tanks, they could not sell them or use more than one at a time.

Because making an item meant to collect energy cost energy to buy would be redunant, I suggest that this new item be available only through the store through a "renewable resources" sort of bundle, which could include 5 Mist Tanks as well. This would support Spiral Knights since it is only available via the store. Whether or not the condenser is a permanent item or a 30-day or less duration I still am unsure about.

I do not know how good of an idea this, but not only would it support Spiral Knights financially, but it would draw more people into playing the game who like to have a more casual style of playing without distrubing alchemy costs or the Energy market.
