[UI] Seprom

Can we get an increase in seprom production?When the seprom was first introduced we didn't have so many lasers and so many different formations to deplete them fast.I say make about for every 10 promerium we get 5 seprom,though that is up to DO,but i think an increase is definitely needed.

 

Just a heads up, but I doubt there will be an increase. The main reason being that a lot of players have millions of it on their lasers. I am one of them and I play daily. This event is giving out Seprom with pirate kills. It's not enough to kill the next pirate but enough to disrupt transfers if you are not watching. Based on your request, I am thinking you are trying to work on your BIO, but I could be wrong. If you are in the map farming NPC, it can go fast if you are going hard all day long. Unfortunately, this game is not designed for one to constantly have the fire button pressed all day. I used prom on lasers for years when I would play for hours on end and the amount would just grow but when I switched to Seprom, I noticed I needed to changed my game plan. At any rate, happy hunting.

 

I do work on my BIO though i have adequate PP to allow me PvP but 45,360 sepped laser shots per day is too little and not enough for more than 30-40 minutes of PvP.I usually use promerium on my lasers for PvE, yes.

 

I don't think Seprom was ever intended to be something players can use that much, and instead just something to use for important/key times or situations. But then of course if take into account players that either just piled Seprom up from not playing much or at all, and also players that abused bugs...

Well then it should be obvious that it is not really fair for everyone who is actively playing the game quite a bit, cause they can't use Seprom much while the types of players I mentioned can... When looking at it this way it should be clear the current situation is kinda skewed and not working as intended most likely.


At the very least it should be clear that there needs to be more ways to get Seprom*, instead of just relying on the Skylab. Just increasing the Skylab production of Seprom would make it so you can use more, but at the same time that makes it so the players that don't play much or at all can just pile up Seprom that much quicker.

Which I am pretty sure BP wants players to actually play the game, instead of not playing to build Seprom up... (though again it could possibly still be a easy thing to do even if it doesn't solve the problem, since at least it would be better than nothing)


*A DarkOrbit developer has actually mentioned before it is something they want(/ed) to do(was said on a past Twitch stream or Discord a while ago), but it is probably on the back burner now maybe.

 

I think they should do one of 3 things;

1. make seprom free, this will make the game more fair, because so many ppl find ways to cheat with seprom, either with bugs or multiple ships.
2. make a set amount you can get on your ship, like 12000 seprom pr 2 days. this will make it imposible to bug milions upon milions of seprom, but still having playes being able to use the seprom from their skylab + a little extra if you get a kill with a seprom cargo.
3. simply remove seprom from the game, or atleast do so you can't equip it to lasers.

 

Seprom in the lazers should work same as Seprom in the generators. One Seprom would increase your damage by 60% for 10 min.

 

this would be the same a making it free.

 

The only way, in my opinnion to make the seprom bug, less harmfull for now,(even thou it's fixed, it left stuff "damaged") is to remove it from shields/lasers for now (don't allow it to put on lasers and shield and etc.). That should reduce the damage done from the bug a litle bit. (this is my opinnion on the topic)
