[UI] big boy redesign

the current big boy is ugly and is never on the maps, how can we encourage new players to approach the game, easy,? redesign the battlecruiser for the free player im not saying change the setup, im just saying the actual design and look of the ship, something that may encourage gameplay, because lets face it all the credit ships look abit tacky, come on guys, your updating the games look arnt you, so when not revamp all the designs. or maybe even an upgrade possibilitie to the ship itself.

upgrade possibilite ?? current design

upgrade price: C.25.000.000

Speed	260 upgrade: 280
Cargo	800 upgrade: 1000
Lasers	8 upgrade: 9
Generators	15 upgrade: 16
Hit points	160,000 upgrade: 170,000
Extras	3 stays the same

 

I already think that could reshape the bigboy but most already have an idea it was between the goly and veng, and we already have it in on her aegis configurations:
bigboy isis
(no image)
Life Points: 225,000
nano screen: 225,000
slot for laser: 10
slots for missiles launchers: 1
slots for generators: 15
Initial speed: 300
Extra slots: 3
load: 2,250
price: 50.000 of uridium or 50.000.000 credits
of to make it equal to the aegis single, just keep pet from combo points of life module, or robo repair in combat, or other items of regeneration and vitality points and shield in combat.

this site has to put designers but have ideas for all ships get better in the game because pusat for those who do not know it has 125,000 hit points, so not worth as much by 250,000 uridium. I prefer the influence seprom spend less and give more danos.And to pusat is an inverted ship, more lasers and less generators, experience points and honor should be exchanged: 125 experience and 12,500 of honor.
also all ships is low for ores, logical to have premium package helps even more is not enough, for me the ideal was that the load was equal to 1% of the initial hit points thus:
citadel: 550,000 initial life point;load for me would be 5,500 initial charge, why the logic would be better.
Note: for me the citadel is not so good for the game, with refilling the fortification lasting 5m, and a life in the 550,000 to fight not with a lordakium right.And 2 missile launcher with long reload like this, it still do not get much in the right jog would be:
citadel:
hit points: 750.000
nano screen: 750,000
slot for laser: 9 (why not more 1 launcher replaces three lasers, so replacing 1)
slots for missiles launchers: 2
slots for generators: 37
Initial speed: 80 (as a tank, need not even have much advantage to have speed)
Extra slots: 7
load: 7,500
skills: Draw Fire, Protection, fortification * and target marking **
Draw Fire, Protection(remained the same already present station until the time duration and cooling this good as this)
*fortificationthe function of this standard remained skill)
duration: 10 seconds (current)
Cooling: 2m(reduced after five minutes is a long time to use this skil)
** target marking: now his citadel exchange your travel with the spearhead of the target maracao, why is it then a tank do not need a lot of speed, current as has she runs away cluttering the group (besides not give pair or flee a goly with speed 450/540) .The target marking help against enemies and the citadel had been so perfect for fighting aliens and spaceships in pvps.
duration: 5 segudnos (current)
Cooling: 25 seconds (current)
price: 375,000 of uridium

based company, since clan-based if the clan has EICs, mmos and viruses is horrible play at 4-5.
reduce the skills cooling time because of 15 to 20 minutes this much, at most five minutes, I think the uba.
Aliens avail the amount that has points of life in the form of credits: kristaloons type they have 409,600 to 409,600 PV and worth of credits for which intones the other aliens are worth so little.
Show shield in numbers, why are the point of life is shown in the numbers tambme shield should be is very simple to do this:
By that already have it with the ability to regenerate the aegis shield and Backup shields high tech manufactures.
is something that people do not think more than advances 170,000 shield or 30,000 a pet, and stant-shield a pet that does not use a shield to anything and not have more than 80% of absorption of damage with maenos 5% of the PV ? It would be better a means of pet trasferir shields pair our ship.
Briefly explain things in the game and remove items from mp-01 type (who will be using this whens and has LF2 of credits), also remove sg3n-7900 of chests of pirates (the key costs 1,500 uridium then win only one engine is not big deal).
can replace the initial speed motor generators and twist them for shield more your speed goes to 0 if you do this with all generators.
It has far more thing so that no one approves.

 

In short with the goli now so easy to get the bigboy is now almost extinct, in its day it was the the only battle cruiser on DO and as since become out dated and should be retired with grace rather than just become mission fodder. Upgradeing the ship would not realy do anything for it because it would still just remain mission fodder.

 

I think this is more of an idea based at players that cannot afford uridium, this should be kept a credit idea and not always transcended into the uridium ways, not everyone can afford uridium, and 25 mill creds for a free player take a few days to get.

 

sorry, and updating the visual on a ship that has not change unlike the fair few designs for the goli and veng,

 

i agree.. just resign that all ship. out of the game with that ship.

the same wiht he phonix.. out of the game.

i dont like the idea to upgrade the ships more,, at this time.. there is no idea to have a strong ship if nothing to shot at.
better to have some fokus on new players, how can we do, so the stay in game??

the cap from new player to a fully loadet ship is to big.

 

25 mil credits for a goli might have been on the old auction but nowadays there so easy to get old of, best ship in the credit class is a nosi the big boy as seen its day and long overdue being mothballed.

 

i think skill designs for the credit ships would breathe life into them. all a new player needs to do is learn how auction works and they'll have a leo, veng, and golie in no time. i think the right approach would be keeping the credit ships weaker but giving them some unique skills that could give anyone a reason to hop into one.

stuff that made the game a little different, making each ship a unique experience. i posted something for the bigboy to make it like a police ship, exactly the way it is except having afterburner and an immobilize skill, with a passive ability to be notified of company ships engaging in pvp on company maps. it'd still be slow and weak, but on occasion it could afterburner to someone being attacked and help out, or more likely die as well. i just think stuff like that would be fun, and fun would a good use of credit ships.

 

Why not just give it the same stats as a regular vengi and make it equal in cost, offer a uri version of all the credit ships for the ones that have a fav that they want to pilot in the upper maps.

it would also be nice if they made the old goli designs found in the hourly auction to be universal for all ships.

 

this post is ment to stay clear of uridium, im trying this for credit players not everyone can afford uri. it not aimed at wallet warriors

 

I do understand your point but I also have been lead to believe that the balance between credit and wallet players is a static contrast that may not be overcome by just credits alone.

The best option would be to make the credit ships with uri counterparts for the ones that can save up for them.

I used the vengi for the stats to cost price, it is both effective and reasonably priced for the noob player that starts off with a leo to save up.

 

aye, uri costs are very doable for free2play, i think a new player starts off with something like 15k. fixing up a credit ship with a design for 5 to 20 k could be a good way to go. but again, leo, veng, and golie are easy in auction. i started a character in another company and got all 3 for the lowest bid each (auction items should really have a starting bid that reflects their uri cost... but forget i said that).

so if you know auction, there's no point in ever buying a credit ship. they're only for a small group of people playing the game for the first time who have no idea they could be kicking ass instead. if these ships had utilitarian specialties they could satisfy the intro game while also staying somewhat relevant to all players. or designs for buffing them up to be nearly on par with the main ships would be pretty cool for some variety. looks like the bonus for inviting friends is gone so maybe we'll see those nostromo designs in the shop i hope.

but i really like the idea of weaker ships with unique abilities (such as different ways to play).

 

We never saw Lance formations in shop, I am not holding my breath for Nostro designs. It would be nice though as I plan to do a credit account just to have something different.

 

I am a full elite player, with a credit noob account have done since I started playing but even I cant do half the upgrades for credits.

 

There is always razer

Yeah the costs are ridiculous



Back on topic no, your upgrade idea is underpowered and overpriced. With 25 mil ill buy enough golis to last me a month without using repair credits lol. The bigboy is the only credit ship that has a design though besides nostromo

 

really a design for the bigboi, its alighter shade of white, can hardly call it a design.
