Pet Improvements!

Alright guys, P.E.T-10 is very cool, we all know that, but I would honestly like my P.E.T-10 to be a little more "privileged" or more commonly associated with me, sound's stupid? It's because it's hard to explain, but all I am asking, is for your opinion on these probably bad ideas of mine: I find that it would be better to have distinct but similar designs for the P.E.T-10, skins looking like the exact goliath and vengeance ones.

I think it would make the P.E.T-10 cooler and more customized, because right now all we get is the name option to name our P.E.T-10 some name that can't even use "fancy" writing, and I sort of dislike how my P.E.T-10 just looks so annoyingly different to my spaceship.

Here's the real deal though: These P.E.T-10 designs will be ABSOLUTELY FREE, and you will not be able to manually remove or equip P.E.T-10 designs. How come? I hear you all ask, well it works simply, if you equip something like the Enforcer for example, your P.E.T-10 will automatically be equipped with a flaming design that dashes out 5% more damage for the P.E.T-10 which looks exactly like the Enforcer or Revenge design was stuck onto the P.E.T-10, (note: these designs will probably not have names) This could be done with Bastion and Avenger designs also, giving the P.E.T-10 a blue outlook with lights on them and a 10% shield boost.

This works with experience too and even Saturn and Centaur designs, although as your P.E.T-10 cannot obtain honour wearing a honour design and having the P.E.T-10 activated will instead grant you an extra 5% honour boost, totaling to 15%, which may seem outrageous to those of you who buy honour formations etc, but seeing as how expensive P.E.T-10 kit is it's only fair and the majority of players with these common designs can benefit from this.
This even changes P.E.T-10 skin with Jade, Amber and Sapphire designs, not to mention veteran and elite trinity ship designs:

Veteran designs give the P.E.T-10 the white camouflage with the secondary colour being the standard trinity colour of the respected company, same with Elite trinity designs with respective colouring and all, except those menacing neon lights included on the P.E.T-10. (Note: same passive bonuses applied to players will be applied to P.E.T-10 when using these designs.)

Going to the land of skill designs, as they cost 250k and "Transform" the look of your ship so to say, they could also change the outlook of the P.E.T-10 completely, making it cooured similarly to skill designs but all unique and different to the standard P.E.T-10 figure. Along with passive bonuses, P.E.T-10 could also (MAYBE) benefit from skill design skills, for example nano-repair cluster repairing the 50% of the P.E.T-10 or the Shield Leech skill giving your P.E.T-10 the same anti-shield capabilities as your own ship receives. (Note: the BP development team will require an outrageously large amount of imagination to make any of this possible)



Just a second remark I would like to make on this topic, what would you guys think about Pilot Bio having effect on the P.E.T-10, now this may seem far-fetched to more than a few of you, but I think there's nothing wrong with the P.E.T-10 firing distinctly "fat" laser ammunition same as the player's spaceship would with the complete Bounty Hunter 2 upgrade, having the same pvp laser damage boost as it would have on the player. Or perhaps what about Shield Engineering or Primistic Shielding effects on the P.E.T-10, like the "bubble effects" being visible to players, sure would give the P.E.T-10 more life, because currently it's just a "tool" and not too much of what the name "pet" suggests, it would be a fun update for the players too! Not another super-expensive perk only top-end UFEs can obtain, as it is free, if you already have Pilot bio for your ship of course Honestly this thread is open for discussion and constructive criticism, but come on guys, I don't see why at least one of thee ideas aren't great. Fire away!

 

The only reason I have an issue with this is that we do not need more uridium items. Granted, people would love pet designs, but I honestly don't want another uridium bucket, unless they half the prices of everything(never happening, but it'd be neat)

 

Did you not read what I wrote "fully"? The 5% damage and 10% shield designs for the goliath and vengeance cost 100,000 Uridium YET 95% of goliath and vengeance owners have those designs, without paying a dime of uridium for them, why? Because of Auction/Trade, the P.E.T-10 designs will be in the auction just like Bastion, Enforcer, etc. I hope you see my point and understand that sooner or later ALMOST EVERYBODY will have these P.E.T-10 designs, without spending uridium. It's a shame people like you think against this idea, it really is, but you know what? The Eifel Tower was an idea highly disliked by all of the architectural designers in France, and when It was built? It became one of the most iconic and brilliant designs in the world, so you know, this could ACTUALLY work.

 

Yes, I read your entire post and concluded what I think. I would love to have a design for my pet, but when it comes to items like this, they usually never make it onto trade. I understand that will change in the coming months with the new auction so this may be quite viable then. All I was saying is that I don't want more things to blow uridium on. If this happens to be in the new auction, then it could be a great idea.

 

Heck, the whole purpose of these designs is for them to be in the Auction, this would be a waste of time for anybody to read if these designs don't make it into the Auction.


How about this: I've given it a lot of thought and what if it were not actually possible to change/buy P.E.T-10 designs, sounds stupid? Ehh, say if you won the Enforcer in the Auction, and you had a P.E.T-10, if you "wear" the Enforcer Design your P.E.T-10 would also wear it, same goes to all other non-skill designs, veteran and elite designs. I think that would solve your problem but keep the awesomeness of P.E.T-10 designs, also as Skill designs completely change the look of goliath and vengeance, what if skill designs also changed the look of P.E.T-10 completely? BP development team would need to pull a lot of imagination out of their butts for this to work, and if it seems interesting I have a lot more to say about this concept, after all this is the idea pool for a reason. Hey what about Pilot Bio taking effect on P.E.T-10, you didn't comment about that?

 

I like the idea of the designs, especially if you already have it for your goli and it "transfers" over lol...The pets..and our ships for that matter...need more visual customization, and a 10% or 5% boost to the pet would be minimal so that's ok too.

But I say NO to the bio and other stuff...too many calculations, too much extra to be happening on screen, and UFE's would get a significant increase in damage with X4 / rsb pet combo, especially with upgraded LF4's on pet already.....Just like people have suggested seprom on pet in the past, and most people said no to that idea.

 

Eh a design for pet would be nice...

 

i mostly like the skill tree for pet idea ... but i like it A LOT !!!!

 

I am still waiting for that rocket launcher attachment.

 

Ew... no... Just no...

 

Hey guys! I appreciate all of this feedback, and I understand I have thrown in a flurry of ideas, so if I can modify my first post I will change some things around, I really hope to get more views on this, who know maybe someone important will find this a reasonable suggestion? Thanks Guys!!

Some calculations allow for me to conclude that with pilot bio and a 5% damage design on the pet, with 10 lvl 16 LF4s the hit with rsb would be 16652, so there's more for you guys who are interested at how much more powerful the P.E.T-10 could become.

 

We are once again going back to more damage...I'm always against more damage. 5% is fine for the pet. Adding bio to it/rocket launcher/whatever else...not so much. I really do like the idea of the skill designs for the pet. Completely changing the look of it would be so neat. As you said, the devs certainly would need some good imagination for it. Going along the lines of the pet getting the design you're wearing, wouldn't it be cool to have a mini-venom next to you?(without the ability) or a mini-sentinel...ect. The possibilities would be awesome.

 

It's a honour to have the backing of a Forum Great Master lol, the pilot bio idea was maybe pushing it but with pet designs and skill designs I think this would be successful.

 

Not sure if You have changed the idea slightly AKULA, but didn't you say that once we own a ship design and equip it, it'll count as acquiring it for the PET at the same time?
(read the 3rd paragraph)

...cause read it twice and all the other people's posts, and it ended up getting me a bit confused.

PS: your idea is awesome +1 from me.
PSS: I just don't like the idea for buying the PET designs seperately
PSSS: definitely NO for the Pilot Bio to affect the PET

 

Plus 1 from me.But not until the pet get some more smarts it to dumb right now.

 

Yeah seems to be extremely stupid... Seems to get worse as time goes lol.
