  1. Gotta great idea to pass onto the "big wigs". Constantly running out of Seprom. No good.

    This idea should make sense because I guarantee you profit is lost when people don't play because they have no Seprom.

    Ideally, just add Seprom as a drop from all Npcs.

    Scratch that, ideally, eliminate the ability to boost lasers with Seprom and give a permanent 60% boost to everyone's Dmg.

    It's real pain in the rear to worry about Sep on top of Boosters, UCB, RSB, HSTs, and rockets.

    I enjoy the complexity of the game but maybe slightly easing the hassle would spike an interest in playing more for the average gamer.

    Now the boosters.

    Countdown timers in the actual booster in-game window, number one.

    Two, probably won't happen but give shared boosters an on/off switch.

    A word on Happy Hours.

    A random, and actually random unlike MHH every Sunday night,x4 Uber Happy Hour.

    We'll be digging deep for change when these pop up. At least twice a month.
     
  2. First and second, hell no, third.... Where do you get these kind of ideas?
     
  3. I'd like you to give reasons why you don't think it's a good idea. Thanks.
     
  4. Shouldn't have to but fine since you have no experience. First one, no because you didn't explain how well, and because it's just a generally bad idea. second idea, never happening cuz BP loses money for nothing in return. Lol. Third idea, just really? Lol yeah not happening either
     
  5. Random MHH i can get, but how in hell is it any of a good idea to just give 60% boost to dmg, just like that? srsly? SRSLY? SRSLY?!?!
    was 60k dmg not enough for you? do you like being insta popped in a citadel? a seprom drop from npcs, would be, wierd but i could see it, just minor though, like 2 sep fro every boss. countdown timers, yes, definitely, i hate when i dont know when i run out of boosters. shared boosters on off switch? what? why do you buy shared boosters if you dont want be nice, then again, this is from the guy who wants a 60% dmg bonus....
     
  6. I'm asking for intelligent responses, not idiotic wise cracks.

    Thats what seprom gives you as a bonus. 60%

    I shouldn't have to explain common sense. People don't play if they don't have seprom(not everyone of course), if people play less BP loses money. How would BP lose money exactly with this? You can't purchase seprom. You still have to level up the collector for your generators and rockets to have seprom.

    This idea would benefit everyone including noobs who can't make enough seprom for it to be on their lasers often.

    I've been playing off and on since BEFORE seprom was added, I'm not new here.

  7. We are responding intelligently... Well.. I dunno I'm half dead from no sleep so many not 100% intelligently but still. A permanent sep bonus is tinkering with a scale of balance. Yeah it would be nice, but then you realize, oh wait this isn't helping noobs. They gain 2k damage, maybe 5k if they're half decent - but UFE gain 20-40k depending in ship. Noobs would not enjoy this. I constantly can't or rather couldn't hunt due to running out of sep. It is a necessary barrier. Also why I'm not liking this is because you gave an idea but no info. How would sep become permanent? Would sep module level be pointless? You're not giving details which I don't like, so you're only giving me reasons to not like your idea.
    As for boosters, they're not important enough for players to stop playing over at all, so there's no need for BP to implement it as it just makes them lose money. Ya know how many bought that $1.99 pack or whatever? Multiply that by oh I don't know, 100 to 1,000. People don't care enough about boosters running out because they are so cheap, be it uri for in game or 2 bucks for pro pack. As for uber happy hour it's already happening. Check that nano bleh happy hour thing..
     
  8. I think the turning on or off shared boosters is just stupid, dont want to share your booster dont buy the shared booster. get the normal one, for the same amount.
     
  9. Honestly doesn't matter to me I kill most everyone prommed anyway.

    You could come up with an idea instead of trying to poo poo mine.

    I can afford to pay to play so in the end, doesn't matter. Please close.
     
  10. I wouldn't be too concerned about people criticising your ideas as those people never have any valid offerings of their own and are too scared to offer up any ideas of their own through fear of the same criticism they see fit to dump on other people's ideas. Let's face it, if they had any good ideas themselves they'd offer them up! They're just lame and obviously have nothing to contribute to this thread except dumb pointless criticism so it is easy enough to ignore their insignificant points of view.

    I would like to see seprom inserted into cargo from other aliens, pirates is a good place to start along with bosses and ubers, and maybe just have lower amounts of sep in normal aliens, like 1 sep from a Streuner, 1 sep from a Lordakia, 2 sep from a Saimon and so on going up to like maybe 250 sep from a BK, 500 sep from a battleray and 750 sep from the not-so-deadly battleray and 1,000 sep from a cube.

    I have built up permanent sep on my lasers as I only play for like an hour or two each day actually shooting stuff for uri etc. so I will never run out of sep on lasers as I constantly add to it daily, but it would be nice if more seprom was available through the lab, like increase it's capacity to like 40,000 units and increase it's hourly rate for generating sep as well on top of gaining seprom from all aliens too.
     
  11. Seprom is good = 60% faster poofs
    In the GG the NPCs drop a few seprom
    You can use three different rocks to booster your ammo

    Hahaha - that is old...the booster info
    and on and off

    The MHH is always on the same day - Sunday 7pm your server time, but the other :) is random.
     
  12. Forgot to say before, I like the idea of an "uber" or "super" happy hour where you get x4 the uri for your purchase, maybe it could happen once every 3 months. After all, Big Point have made adjustments to the uri you get now by including the "bonus" within the amount you buy! Cheeky thieving gits they are. And they wonder why people keep quitting this game! They brag about how many users are registered but won't tell you how many actually still play on a regular basis haha!

    I like your idea but giving everybody a 60% increase not so much, but instead raise the storage capacity of sep and make it large.
    As for your other ideas I don;t have enough knowledge to make a comment.

    Its a problem I won't play without sep
     
  14. Thats happening, but its random, and by random i mean everythings random, i forgot the name but you get like 4x uri, and 1/2 off and like a laser pack but it only happens like once a year and at really random times
     
  15. Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

    Enjoy the game.
