[UI] A couple ideas to make DO more fun and rewarding.

Here are some ideas I have put a lot of thought into. Feedback is appreciated!


1. Instead of paying straight up Uridium to upgrade gear, you upgrade them with "Upgrade Kits". The higher level an item is, the more Upgrade Kits it will need for a 100% upgrade chance. While these kits can be bought with Uridium, they can also be dropped by "Uber" aliens. They will be very rare, and smaller aliens will have an even smaller chance. (For example, an Uber Struner will have a near non-existent chance to drop one, while an Uber Kristallon will have the best chance) They may be found in Booty Boxes as well.

They can also be rewards for completing certain Gates. (10 - 20 Upgrade Kits, or whatever number is best). I figure adding this to the Lambda Gate would be good, to make it a more viable Gate to build.


2. Instead of Pally being in 5-3, there is a gate that takes you to a special map for Pally. This place is a "Neutral Zone". Meaning, everyone's name here becomes blue. You can still attack players here, however your name will turn red for everyone on the Pally map until that day ends. If you are red, players from the same company as you do not receive penalty for attacking you.

(Notice: Even though their names are blue, this does not mean you lose Honor or rewards for attacking a player from an enemy company. You simply make yourself a bigger target for other players by doing so.)


3. I have stated this one before. It makes no sense that the Skylab Transport cannot be upgraded. Why can't you make the engines stronger so it can make trips faster? So I propose that it can be upgraded like everything else. Each level gives a small percentage decrease in the amount of time it takes to transport ore to you. This either overlaps the Premium bonus or the Premium bonus is removed.


4. I was recently told that if you already have a ship design, it will no longer drop from Booty Boxes. Instead, I propose that if you get a design you already have, you receive 25% of the cost of that design. (250,000 - 75% = 62,500 Uridium)

Are my ideas not interesting? Why cruel world ;-;

 

You posted it late, so as people answer other threads, it gets pushed to page 2 or 3, where the admins are the only ones checking so they can see what they can close. LOL

The skylab transport speed is something that can be increased two ways:

1. By getting premium and cut the time in half
2. Watching the crazy videos.

The pally map is made dangerous by 3 things:

1. Pirate ships
2. Hunting quests, both general and map specific
3. Company's or individual player's hatred for others in the map.

The map does not have to be moved anywhere. A lot of players go in there all the time and never see a shot across the bow. Some see it constantly.

The rest, I am leaving for someone else. I don't see the point really in the upgrade kits, and don't know enough about the booty boxes to comment on design drops.

 

1 is kinda a bad idea. makes things more complicated and less fun.

2 is entirely a bad idea, partially. 5-3 shouldnt be nonviolent just because without the risk of attack there will be nothing but AFK farmers and pet swarms. would entirely ruin the map. if there were more npcs to shoot at you and keep you busy, then that would fix the AFK people as long as the npcs didnt get bored and run off, so if you were afk even an interceptor would eventually kill you (MOO HA HA)

3 is a good idea but really only a partial one. they need to give the ENTIRE skylab a level cap increase. maybe to lvl 50? and transport module an increase to balance it would be magic along with the convenience

4 would be AWESOME but i dont see any chance of happening

 

well i guess your adjusment wouldnt be bad in that case, but for the npcs to get stronger they need to bring the uri up too


all parts of the skylab would have to go up for sep to go up, and it really needs to even before your update idea. its scaled to the promi refinery and the promi is scaled to the others, so they all need to go up.

not to mention whats wrong with having something new that DOESNT COST URI.. jussayin
