    Simply: what do you think about adding the lance formation on the list of possible rewards in pirate booty boxes?

    PS: you don't need to elaborate, just leave yes or no, thank you :)

    Reminder - Lance formation effects: All mines placed by a player while they are wearing this formation will have a 50% damage bonus.

    Well if you don't elaborate then your post is considered spam and deleted, this is essentially a poll without the poll, what would this drone formation give? I'm not just going to blindly agree that we should throw more crap in pirate booty which we shouldn't since odds for drone parts and Lf4's is already low enough.

    Elaborating on a post is always necessary to explain why or why not someone likes or dislikes an idea. That formation should only be available through friend invite's as it always has been, it's fine that way.
     
  5. Yeah, It would be nice, if it wouldn't reduce the chance of getting something already rare like a skill design or an lf-4, then it would be great!

    There's no way to prevent it from reducing the chances of getting a rare item and I sure wouldn't be happy if I got a Lance formation over an Lf4 or skill design, I think it should remain as it is, only available through friend invites.

    Pretty sure ive seen countless posts by boss~adam saying 'how about no.'...

    Anyway. good idea, always wanted Lance. It wont reduce chances of lf4's or anything, just re sycs the item chances by reducing ammo chance by one degree and fitting this badass design in.

    Well what else would I type if I didn't like an idea, don't start drinking haterade Seraphim, if you want the formation then invite friends or random people to the game lol, it's a rare formation and should remain as such, it isn't even that good unless you have mine bio, it does look kind of cool though.

    Didnt mean to offend you adam. Just pointing out a contradiction.
    I have invited players to the game but look for yourself as to what thge rewards are for such. The lance was available for a short duration but now it is off limits regardless of whether you invite 25 or even 100 players who make it to lvl 7 +

    I want the formation, ive invited many many players but have made sure not to make it past 25 as at present, NO LANCE FORMATION IS FOR GRABS. Once it is, then i will get it.

  10. Sorry no..

    1: There are a ton of ignorant players, for example, my server has those who "boosted" to get it, and they just mine you in the pally field.
    2: I don't want less chances of getting LF-4s

    Well when it become's available again then get it, so this idea isn't needed, like it ever was. I'm not offended, I'm saying stop drinking haterade and making said attempts at starting things and on the forums, of all places.

    I totally agree, BUT the reason why I posted this... more question then idea is the lance formation isn't rare, but unavailable.

    NOTE: there's a big difference between RARE and UNAVAILABLE:

    - bat formation is rare (available once a year)
    - lance formation is unavailable (available once a decade? or some totally random and unspecified amount of time)

    I'll have to correct myself and say the Lance is extremely rare lol, as far as I know it's been out once, maybe twice, some have it legitimately and others pushed for it, putting it in pirate booty would make it even harder to get skill designs and Lf4's and everyone would have it.

    Well, since there's a slight chance to get LF-3's or B-02's from booty boxes as well, I think it would be possible to replace one or both of those with a small chance of getting lance formation, without reducing the chances of obtaining LF-4's at all ;)

    i think this is not a good idea at all, in the pilot bio, you can get 50% extra mine damage + the damage your mine does. So if you use a DDM-01 mine with this form your mine would hit 120% direct hull damage, so this means you would pop instantly if you hit the mine. This formation is a really bad idea

    The formation already exists, it's just the OP wants it to be easier to obtain since the last Lance event was a long, long time ago.

    A small correction: NOT easier, only POSSIBLE (in some practical way) ;)

    If Lf3's and Bo2's weren't in booty boxes this would be more plausible but that wouldn't happen.

    I suppose it could be added as a possible cronos-gate reward, similar to saturn design for goli, as an alternative to adding it to booty boxes, unless you have some better idea?

    Put it in the shop lol, putting it in as an end reward for the Kronos gate is a worse idea then putting it in booty boxes, it's hard enough to get the Saturn design and some build multiple Kronos gates and don't get anything.
