Slot CPU

There might be a need if you want a boring game where everyone flies with the same extra's. The current Slot CPU's are fine, there might be a need for this in the future but as of now there isn't, they want you to choose or you can put extra's on drone's.

 

Well no better time than the present for good ideas like this one.

 

No better time then never or the future for idea's that would make the game boring and give everyone the same equipment.

 

I keep seeing comments like "this isn't needed". This suggestion has nothing to do with need and everything to do with implementing something that would entice the paying players to want to spend more money and have an option. I mean really, i've been a free player and a paying player and for me, spending money on the game is for one of two purposes, to have an edge or to be better able to defend myself against those who may have more of an edge than I do.

This is not something anyone needs, but darkorbit is a business and in the interest of possibly offering something for the players, as well as to generate revenue, this is something that could possibly be considered. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Woo!!!
You tell em Mrs Earp!!!
This idea deserves better than "This is not needed" type comments.

 

This isn't much of an edge and I highly doubt this would ever be implemented nor do I think it would make much revenue, more so a waste of developers time, it would make the game boring with everyone having the same exact extra's and as it stands the current slot CPU's are more then enough, they want you to make choices on what you need more or put extra's on drone's.

@VESPID, no idea deserves special treatment when it comes to criticism no matter how good you think it is, I don't think this is needed at least for now, perhaps in the future but not now.

 

ill admit, we dont need it... but i would absolutely use this and it would help.

 

I rest my case.

 

You rest your case since he said we don't need it and you finally realized that? Some think we need more drone designs and chips that give a Pnut the stats of a Goli or maybe an Lf5, do we need all that?

 

no we dont need it, but it doesnt mean we wont use it

 

We don't use it and if it was implemented I still wouldn't use it because I wouldn't need it.

 

well like other people have said, you can put extras on drones, but i put my lf4s on my drones and im not taking away lf4s or b02s for extras so why not have another chip, then i could add a cloak chip, drone repair chip, targeting cpu chip, laser buy chip, and jump cpus to the extra slots.. totaly useful.

 

Why not? Because they want you to make a decision and you really shouldn't have a problem fitting every useful extra on your ship depending on what your flying.

 

Am I really sitting here reading this? I see no problem with the +10 CPU. If you're so lazy you can't log out or fly to a space station to pull off that ammo CPU to replace it with an ammo CPU, spaceship games aren't for you. I supposed next we'll see a request for double the drone slots? Give Flax 2, Iris Apis and Zeus 4? Hell, why not just let you throw on whatever you have. go buy 400 LF2s and run around hitting a trillion laser damage.

 

im not lazy, just saying why not have all my cpus on at the same time without putting any on drones.

 

Everyone would have the same setup and same extra's, that's boring and again they want you to choose.

 

So what!!! At the very lease let people have the option to be the same or be board or what ever useless reason to not let it happen.

 

If everyone had the option to do whatever they want and have whatever they want on this game then it would've died off long ago, things would be boring and this isn't needed now.

 

Agreed. Think of it like this. go play Call of duty and make a class. Notice how you can't put on more than one primary unless you've got the special perk for it? And notice how that perk slot takes up something else useful? It's all about choices and how you play the game that make things interesting.

 

What it would do is help bring the game back to what it used to be, FAIR for ALL, not just the wallet warriors and guys who use illegal programs.

This game used to be based on SKILL. That is no longer the case.
