[SC] DAILY BONUS

Dear Dark Orbit,

I am one of your players that have been around for a while. I have another commit and subjection for you. I have been playing for a while and I remember the old daily bonus. In a way I like it better than the current options. If I remember right it gave two items I really like and a third too. It had Log Disk, Uridium and Rockets which you never have too many. It gave me at least something for coming to this site everyday. This new system doesn't offer any of these items. WHY NOT? I like to see Pirate Booty Keys too all colors too. The only keys I do have are green, but I would like to see others off in the Daily Bonus too.

It is a new month coming and new ideas too.

u get old and new lf4s in new calender.. lot better than old daily bonus.... look what u would save alone not having to upgrade a lf4 when u get the new lf4 at end of the month still a lot less than if u bought 30 log disks a month

 

Just to add to this, with the old system you would need 10 months if you logged in daily to collect enough log disk's to upgrade a LF4 plus you would have to grind and grind on the uber map to get enough bif to build the enhanced LF4's and getting on average either a standard LF4 or enhanced LF4 a month as helped many players. Even extra energy for GG's is on average between 80 and 100 a month this is 50 plus more than you would have got with the old system.

 

Tbh: the new LF4s as login bonuses are far better than the stinky 200 Uri. It saves a lot of your time and your Uri too, which can be used for the logfiles.

(Besides I think the name LOGfile doesn't fit with the item anymore....and the skill tree is still a economic desaster).

 

Hi All,

I was just saying it was nice, and why couldn't they add the old with the new. There are some things we get I could do without.

Angus

 

The new daily calendar is AWESOME . The time you save getting a New lf4 is great. It helps the lower/newer players get stronger faster. Perhaps they will stay longer and play. We need someone to shoot down as they get stronger. Its a lot more fun if you fight someone good. Keep the new calendar they are awesome. Thanks DO.

 

Again you have posted some misleading info, to collect the daily bonus you must login into the game from your home page if you are already logged in at 00.00 hrs you will not collect any reward until you have logged out and logged back in. The reason for the buffer zone of 5 to six days is as stated in the FaQ's is to allow players who miss the a daily login a chance to collect rewards with out loss, example 25th day could be an upgraded LF4 if by the old system you missed that days login you would loose out, with this system missing a few days would still allow the rewards to be collected. There are many things that players like and dislike and the word Demos (rule by majority) applies and the majority like the daily login.

 

HMHY statement about the 47+ hours is correct. They can relog a few minutes before the midnight the second day to get that days rewards. With the old system, you still got rewards every day you logged in, just not the top reward. The method of the new system is not lost on me. It really helps for those with real lives outside of the game. But for those of us that live here, lol, it would have been nice if they kept the old system as well and just built on it. Getting nothing for a few days that we still login sucks, but I was going to play regardless.

 

YES, some of the rewards are nice, some are not so good for a NEW Player. I still would like to get the extra 2 months (65 days) of stuff we no longer get.

What part of the FACT of logging in at 2345 server time, logging out of the maps and back in at 0015 to collect the next days bonus "misleading info"? You are correct that you do not automatically collect as the day changes on the server but I never said it was an automatic give me reward, or that you did not have to log in twice to do so.

 

Enjoyed the old Daily Login except for the fact that if you missed a day you started over [was good if you wished to collect a particular item more frequently] and that you didn't have to log into the game client to receive it. The new calendar map login could use a bit more item variety , but it can be costly since you are now required to login to the game client to receive that bonus. Not to mention if you have a cbs in a pvp map and that was your last log-out point , and upon login it is in the middle of an attack and now you are in a fire-fight . By the time everything is done and said with you lose the base and a free repair . Heck ... you could loose all 10 irises if your not careful . Something to consider. Been there Done that.

 

It always helps to have ships parked in a safe zone. I am not saying whatever ship you normally run with has to be flown to a safe base/portal, but have a 2nd, or 3rd ship that you can log into on a base someplace. That way you don't have to worry about popping when you log in.

 

Hi All,

PSK,
What do you mean and how do you do it about extra ship? How do you park a ship in a safe zone, and fly your ship too. You can only have one ship active. Right?

Angus

 

Yes, one active ship at a time, but I have several ships that are favorites and I leave them in different maps, spread around lowers, uppers and pirates. x-7 map is too busy, I play in x-4. x-4 map too busy, pirates looks good. Pirates is busy, time for x-2 or x-3 map.

 

With the new system you do not have to have your "Parked" Ships in you Favorite Hangars. I have my equipped ships in the Favorites so I can warp them wherever I may want to. I use Credit ships as my "Parked" Ships and select the ship for the map I am interested in, login, then "Warp" my playing (loaded for play style of the day) ship to that map. Heck I could even have ships in enemy maps IF I chose since I own 39 or more individual ships. Currently I have ships in all company maps (x-1 to 8) and each of the Pirate maps, I have not placed any in the 4-x maps (yet). You do have to place the ship in the Favorite arena for the initial "Warp" to "Park" it, but then it is removed as soon as it is safely placed there.

 

I see the blind man said.

Thanks

Angus

 

Its not about what you have to do but what you can. You just reiterated the option. I only play with the Favorite ships, so I don't need to Warp anything. In all actuality, most of the favorite ships stay in the map I Park it in, two roam about. Grr, just read the thread topic and we are off it. I am out.

 

Hi All,

Thank you PSK for the information.

I didn't know you could do that, and I still don't know why you would do that, but I guess it works. I fly one ship on my 2 servers. My secondary server only one ship because I can't equipment a second ship. I'm working on it. My main server I have 2 loaded and 2 more loaded but with less quality equipment. I wish I could transfer some of that equipment to my other sever.

Angus

 

The main reason for "Parking" ships is the Pally fields and the one way portals of the Pirate Maps. Park a ship near the Radiation Zone, under the Pally, logout and select the Hangar with the 5-2 parked ship and exchange the cargo for EE spins, logout again and you are ready to Pally for another cargo load. I actually do my Transfers to my Citadel that is parked in 5-2 to receive the extra credits from that base. These ships do not need to be equipped with anything except the 5-2 if you are using the transfer then you want the cargo expansion, they are just "place holders" to warp your playing ship to the map from wherever you used it last. You could always bid on the "extras" to fill all of the ships you own then it is just the weapons and generators (bid on these also) that are needed to get them equipped. Many of the Extras can be won with a 10K bid, just might need to bid high for the slot 4 cpu (1250K as this is the value if selling for credits).

 

I used to fly only one ship but have found using a variety if very useful in different situations. I run with all the credit ships, though I do have a citadel for transfers. Because of the lack of strength I keep a nostro in 5-3 and while staying cloaked at the edge of the field, let my pet collect the pally. Its slow and tedious but I am in no rush. I use the bigboy, liberator, and parahna in the lowers maps and the Bigboy Solemn in uppers. My ambassador ship is for gates, pirates and any place else I decide to put it based on the missions. P-nut is at home in 5-2. All ships are full of equipment and the reason I do this is so I don't have to constantly move that one ship around to where a "place-holder" is. Also, like I said earlier, if a map was too hot for me, I can go do something else.

My main account is set up similarly but with uri class ships. I say this but based on my game play as late, I would say this one is my main.

 

Hi All,

I don't recognize the name Pally. Is that the stuff in the Pirate Zone 5-1 Palladium?

Help
I do that in the auction house. I have a lot equipment on server 1, but server 2 I'm weak in lasers and Gens. I keep getting out bid if I'm not sitting there. Trying to get in a the last second is hard. I usually put in a good bid and leave. On server 2 I only have one ship that is fully loaded. My second ship first configuration has equipment, but my second has a few things. I still keep trying to get more. That what more means.

PSK
On my main server and the oldest server I played on. On server 2 I have a few of these:
Looking at your ships PSK they are the weakest in the hanger. Except the Citadels (have 3); I have all but the N. Ambassador. The equipment are not there like lasers 4-8 and gens are 6-15. The armor aren't the best except Citadels. That is why I abandon them when I got better ships. What is a Credit Ship?

In the Pirate Zone there are pirates that pack a punch. I would think they be deadly to these ships. But I can understand your idea. Keeping one ship in zone 5-1 and 5-2 is a good idea. One to collect Palladium and one to turn it in. If I remember right getting to 5-2 base is a little ruff. Pirates are there in a bunches. There are a bunch of pirates waiting for you plus there are other company men in the area stopping by too. You are a better person than I PSK because I would be afraid to be in those ships. I die easily in my best ships against PVP.

On my main server:
As equipping ships I have, 3 are fully loaded and ready to go. Two of them have lf-4 lasers (only one with enhance and the rest of the 2 with lf-4 and Spectral Lancer III, 16 level). My third ship has some lf-4, but mostly lf-3 lasers. I can put more ships out with lf-3 because I have a bunch. My hanger is loaded with equipment I don't use. So I could put ships in the 5-x and let them sit.

I want to thank you 2 for helping me, and giving me ideas on things I never though of. You are the greatest.

Angus
