Something like activating Energy Gates or even Reviving Mecha Knights. (I also understand that the difference between an Energy Gate and Spark of Life is about a 3:1 ratio. But at least having it as an option would be nice.)

Though I understand that this could hinder recruited players but I would like to see a use for Sparks of Life for someone like me who has over 250 Sparks of Life and really have nothing to do with them. I rarely die and even when I do die and end up using a Spark of Life, I end up gaining a lot more through just running Arcade than anything else. I even often revive random people I don't know and still end up having more Sparks of Life than what to do with them.

I would like to see there be another use for them even if it's just an option.

I wouldn't mind the option of opening a gate with a SoL or 3ce. Make it happen OOO.

Just lower the drop rate on them.

@Khamsin I don't think

@Khamsin
I don't think lowering their drop rate is necessarily a good idea. A lot of experienced players have them pile up, but join some public parties and you'll see a significant amount, if not the majority of players are constantly running out of SoL.

My idea is to have a max amount that can be carried into a single mission / gate. As it is now, nothing is ever actually a threat to me anymore, because I rarely die, and even if I do, I have hundreds of sparks. Even challenging levels are turned into a joke because of the massive stockpile of sparks I have from all the levels that weren't challenging.

If players were only able to bring a set amount with them, dying many times on a hard mission would be a real problem.

I also think the idea of opening energy gates with SoLs is nice.

Allow SoL to be traded/sold.

It doesn't make much sense for energy gates because it's has the word energy in it's name. But +1 to revive mecha knights. But what about activating turrets?

Nobody ever pays for mechas and turrets, they're almost useless.
