If I'm not wrong, the cost of resetting a cooldown scales linearly by skill level and turns left to reset.



I think with some abilities this is quite counterintuitive and should be reexamined. For example, Skroig's Red Plume goes from 4 to 5 to 6 seconds, from ranks 1 to 3. Having to pay the double the cost to reset for an extra 5 seconds actually discourages me to level Skroig past 8 in some circumstances, namely when I feel it's better to keep resetting Red Plume to get through floors. Elise's Shrapnellizer has a similar issue where the increased damage output doesn't match up to the increased science cost.



It's very weird to be actually discouraged from leveling up a hero when you have the food for it.



Please consider this.

You're right about the formula (currently: Skill Level x Turns Left x 3).

And yes, for some skills, the increase seems too strong.

We'll see if we can think of a better formula (but it needs to stay global) or maybe improve these particular skills...

I think if you buff Shrapnellizer or Red Plume, Elise and Skroig will become overpowered (or imbalanced, if you take strength from them elsewhere). Better formula might be in order though.

Maybe just remove from formula?

Yeah, I think that would be a good change. It'd help to make the cost of skill resetting less intimidating so you could actually see it more often.
