[SC] I Think It's Time.

I agree w CFH above

We need to protect the low level players more and make it easier for them to get to FE status not harder. The maps are already desolate and barren. Why make it harder to get newer players into the game?

 

People want anything that you'll make it easy to give to them, but it doesn't mean it's good for them, and I wasn't talking about leveling playing field. Read, again.

 

This doesn't make it easier to get to so called FE status. Ship customizing ways and how you do that affects how easy it is to get to the FE status you're talking about. The maps are desolate and barren like you're saying with the ships in daily, and lets not forget that before 3D that it was just more difficult to play this game because of lagging and smoothness and jumping, skipping on screen. 3D is a big reason people are rediscovering this game and newer players are deciding to try it. People can finally accomplish things that 2D made it harder to do because of slow downs.

 

I can't drop integrity because that's exactly what it is on that part of the game. The integrity of ship quality, not the integrity of what people might do to you. Ship quality because it's ill spread that you can't accomplish or customize a non uridium ship to do what you want and get you where you want which has people confused that they need an hourly auction to keep up which would make more sense to just lower the ship price of all three ships. The auction is undervaluing the credit ships by too many auctions allowing them to be gotten for lesser than any of the credit ships which is about the integrity part of that part of the game, too.

 

Now on page 3 of this, how about you explain why you want this again, clearly. Whether or not being able to get ships easier is good for the new players is not going to populate the maps. The maps are desolate because it is an old game and players are always after what just came out. If you make it harder for them to get stuff, they will just run to the game that makes it easier, which means more fun for them. I don't care what the game, only the hard core will stay around if it takes "forever" to do anything, including getting the top ships. Let them be happy that they can bid for the stuff, hourly. There are plenty of daily and weekly bid items that they will have to work harder and longer for.

More and more players, like me, have gone back to 2D. 3D is a pain, although nice to look at, its bothersome when doing anything. But this is not the point of the thread so moving on...

So in keeping things in prospective, it starts by putting the three ships in daily auction, which means the Aegis/Citadel/Spearhead should go to weekly. Keeping things in perspective, the Iris/LF3/B02/7900 should be moved to daily as well. This brings up a number of underlying issues. Players are of different ages, and have different responsibilities. Kids are in school, hopefully; adults work different schedules... Who do you think this concept is fare for?

On the flip side, now I am thinking about starting a credit ship/equipment account. Of course I will have to have all the uri extra's but credit ship/flax/LF2/6800/BO1. Is this what you run on your ship? If so, I can understand why you started this thread. I have thought about this before and for someone to be supporting the credit ship idea, it makes since to make the case. It will take years to get a credit only clan together but I am sure it could be done. But really, state the reason so all here understand it. And I am not kidding about making a credit ship account.

 

this would never work

all the noobs would suffer

good players probably already have 1 if not all 3 of them, and dont have to worry about it. however it is the noobs who need to bid on them. and when you have 30 noobs competing daily for them it just wouldent do to have them in the daily auction.
