Quote:every usable ingame item should be useful at all times
Lol, those darned infinitives; be careful with them. Your assertion is false. A nuclear fuel rod is not useful if you don't have a nuclear power plant. A gravity drive module is not useful to someone without a spacecraft or the ability to make one.
Quote:an item that everybody will skip
This assertion presumes that a one way wormhole drive is of no use to someone who would otherwise have to deadhead each way. I respectfully disagree.
In some dungeon game, I had a rusty dagger -1. Was it useful at all times? Yes. Was it a desirable thing to carry around? No, unless your alternative was your hand. Would everyone skip it? As soon as practicable.
It didn't ruin the game.
