[UI] Pilot Bio ..should there be a cap on it?

Easy question should there be ?
The game changes and people alter there bio accordingly to suit it as at time ,,
is it fair for it to increase to ridiculous levels and cost to alter it since the game changes ?

i would like a vote on this

 

Personally, I am happy with the Pilot Points cap as it is;

Pros with cap:

• The cap ensures that there is still a certain level of having to choose between, for example, full mine bio or full rep bots and cargo space (purely an example and I would always go for PvP )
• If a cap weren't in place then this aspect of the game would be more P2W (Pay to win) as for most players, getting 50 PP is a worthy challenge - only the super dedicated/gate chasers/wallet warriors would be able to achieve truly-full PP. With most of the hate on the game being purely P2W... it's probably not a good idea to add this to the list
• The number of log-disks for the 75th PP would be insane!

Cons with cap:

• Players must find a compromise between PvP and PvE advantages when deciding their PP something which, IMO, shouldn't have to happen.

A good alteration of this idea could be: To have separate tables for PvP and PvE PP so that the player doesn't have to find this compromise and can have full PvE PP whilst still having to choose between certain PvP advantages.

Of course, there was talk - internally - a while back about removing this cap on PP but with the focus on server merge at the moment, the devs/team haven't had much time to ponder on it. Would be great to have lots of discussions going on in the meantime so that post-merge, the team can discuss these ideas informed on how the players feel about them!

 

I think the 50 point cap is good but there should be a reset amount cap as well. I realize a good number of players purchase URI but for those who grind for it, paying a insane reset cost when jumping from PVP event to PVE event constantly is just nuts. You won't make the URI back from the event after a point and then where are you at. For actual PVP and PVE power and shields, 50 points gives you everything you need but anything else forces you to start deciding what to sacrifice.

 

If there was no cap, then the game would become even more unbalanced than it is now. UFEs would get even stronger, and the disparity between the wallet-warriors and free players would widen.

However since we're on the pilot bio topic -- I do think that there should be a cap on how much Uridium it costs to reset the bio. It eliminates the fun of the game when you cant be as flexible as you want when it comes to your pilot bio. You may feel like switching up your play style, but increasing the Uridium it costs to reset your pilot bio limits how flexible of a player you can be.

 

I like the 50 cap on BIO.
Then again, I must be very lazy compared to some, I could not be bothered flipping between two dedicated point setups. Once set they stay that way.

 

As because I am more 1v1 and PvE oriented player, for me the 50 is actually enough. I don't really see any use for the other points there, but I actually thought what if every ship would have a skill / pilot tree, but it would cost significantly lower amount, can be reset for static price (which can be high)? You kinda upgrade your ship with those, though then the more story based thing that you become more skilled pilot will be left out.

But the result itself is same and at least now every skill can be used somehow.

 

Yes, because it gives choice on the game and if there isn't a CAP it just means some players who spend money are going to be noticeably much stronger than other UFE ships, giving them an unfair advantage in all three categories which are rank gaining, PvP and PvE.

It's quite an odd question to ask if your best account is Major because it's going to take a while before PPs even matter when you fight other strong enemy players.

 

I always thought that there shouldn't be a cap on Skill Tree section if a pilot wants to own all the points in it I dont see why there should be a problem, if everyone has the same right to it. Also, I don't think that they should be charging every-time you want to update your skills that should be free or a one set price not for it to be going up and up every time no that is crap

 

No cap.
For the ones that believe the cap should remain on, I say let them limit their own game play and not everyone just because they want to keep the status quo.

 

I am sorry ,i obviously phrased this question wrong .
im happy with the 50 cap on what you can build .
What i meant was the amount of uri it costs to Reset your pilot bio .

For me personally i need to earn 5734400 URI to change my pilot bio ,or pay approx £500 GBP .

Does anyone honestly thing a player is going to spend that amount ,?

Or will they quit the game as everyone has ?

Thats my vote question

Sorry about the misunderstanding
