Mercury Company

Okay, so as a veteran of the game for the last 6 years, being on 7 servers in 3 languages, I've noticed something about the players. A lot of us have been across the server in each of the companies, as I have. And we're tired of just Mars, Earth, and Venus. Saturn is occupied by Kronos Gate, and Uranus would spark sexual comments about the company because of the pronunciation of the name. So let's scratch out the ideas of Pluto, Neptune, and Jupiter, and skip to Mercury. It's the planet closest to the sun, and comes before the current planetary companies. The company would boast a BLACK planet with a WHITE M.


The full name of the company would be Mercury Oil Technologies (MOT).

The company would have their own map sectors: 6-X

Since the Solar System shows the company maps, MOT would have to be put in somewhere.

MMO - West
EIC - North
VRU - East
MOT- South


So now the companies would be set on the map in a diamond-like formation. I will prepare projected images to post in the thread.


The projected images would be:

New Solar System
New Company Logo
New Ship Designs (Aegis, Spearhead, Citadel specific)

Please let me know how this can be improved.

 

hmm... and why we need a new company? o.0

 

I'm fairly confident a lot of people are tired of seeing the same colors and the same maps. Also this game could use more space for ranks, more quests, and some new ship colors to look at as well.

 

I like this idea, more people to shoot down, and more variation..also a white ship would look so nice... +1 for you sir! Bravo!

I'll see what I can do for your graphics problem you're having.

 

Actually, it's black Ever. The main aegis skin would be black with white rings/bars like the standard elite skin.

 

So something of this degree?
Just with white add-ons..


Eh, I kinda still want the white, every other company is a solid color so why change that? That's my opinion.

I would say the opposite, since most maps are dark, the white planet would stand out more, and be 100% visible.

 

No no, the aegis ELITE. And the white is kinda hard to diminish with a white username. May be easy to other players, but not to people on the account. But I see what you're saying. Black IS a nice looking color for a ship design



That's sorta what it would look like, just more emphasis on the black and white. This picture was taken from Uridium -> Get Uridium -> Class Designs

 

Dad gum. A good idea! xD I like it man. Well thought out and keep up the good work. I'd love another company to kill.

 

Well not against it but does this game on any server even have enough players to warrant this?

 

Nope. Still liked the idea though.

 

This would add several new things:

New Quests
New Company Maps
New PVP map
New ship designs
Variety(now having 4 companies)

 

I like the idea, +1.
But i'll always stay vru, just gives me more hunt food and new quests

 

On my server, people switch companies all the time, USAEast 2 will atleast be able to stand it.

 

I think this is an awesome idea, i'm tired of just eic, mmo and vru. Although it's highly unlikely that they would implement this, because they would have to design new maps, change the current maps' position in the universe and change most of the portals, to make the maps in a diamond shape, for it to be even. And they would also have to make 3 new ship designs. But hope is the last to go away, so let's hope! 10/10 to this idea!

 

MOT is A red dot. Unlike Saturns dot is too close to MMO colors.

 

Pros- Would add a lot more diversity to the maps and configuration.

Cons- Less people in the current companies.

There are almost always pros and cons in every idea. I like the idea of new maps and new ships. However, the low amount of players in the current companies would be cut even more due to the new company.

 

Having less people in each company isn't really a con. In fact, there will probably be so many clans switching over to Mercury just because they dislike their own company that Mercury will be the best, with the most players. It might even out from then on, but why is having more maps and less people per map a bad thing?

 

Because there are already about 5 people on the upper maps at a time. Maybe 10 max.

 

Well cooljak96, considering we are from the same server, I do know the point you're coming to. But if the new company is implemented, like Sociopath said, more people and more clans would switch to compete for ranks and to explore the new map.

However, after so long, perhaps 2-3 months, maybe the company count would even out. This may also drag in more players. We'll have more quests, and more people to kill. As such, I am VRU. If a VRU player is KOS, and they switched to MOT, this adds positive honor.
I think a new company would benefit in many ways. Cons are hard to see. I'm still working on the new solar system design.

I'll post updates as I get them. Does anyone have any suggestions towards the company maps?​

 

If they were to add this, then they better allow players a free switch to another company for a week. If they don't do that, then Mercury would be just as dead as the battle maps.
