[UI] DARKORBIT: CREDIT OPTIONS

heres an idea, its getting abit boring now with all the goliath designs and
uridium based and payment based buys, theres too many, there not enough options
for credit players in this game and there is no option in events when special and
new design come out, all the free players cant get special designs and new skins
for there ship,s theres not even an option for the new players and free players to
join in the events because there no option for them, so they sit by port for 5
minutes and then decide to log off becoz theres no other option, because
everything is aim at uridium buying players,

this game is ment to be ''free to play'', but in all seriousness its not.

how about updating the option for the credit playing options

credit ships and items

5 credit ship options - compared to the 30 options and more to come for the
uridium based buying players. and all the special design that only come available
for uridium players.
BIGBOY IS THE MAIN CREDIT SHIP ALONG WITH THE NOSTROMO.
BIGBOY BASTION VERSION
BIGBOY ENFORCER VERSION
NOSTROMO COULD BE RELEASED ON A CRAFTING SYSTEM ITMEM, SO YOU CAN BUILD UP YOUR NORMAL NOSTROMO, TO THE ABILITIES OF THE DOPLOMAT, ENVOY, AND THE AMBASSADOR.

drones

1 credit option for 8 drones - why cany credit players get the option to update to
ten flax with buying uridum.
9TH FLAX DRONE 25,000,000 CREDITS - DEUX
10TH FLAX DRONE 50,000,000 CREDITS - THOR

10 uridium options

formations

4 credit options - no special credit option, why???? MORE OPTIONS FOR CREDIT BASED PLAYERS

14 uridium options - included special formations that come out.

weapons are pretty fair as I can see, apart from the upgrading option, I think
credit upgrades in relation to uridium upgrades is way too much.

booty keys - these thing are expensive for uridium for what you get out of them,
and I believe the booty that is droped with alien kills should be free.

boosters - all the boosters are for uridium why cant there be an option for half
the effect for credit players ??? 15,000,000 CREDITS FOR 5 HOURS FOR HALF THE EFFECT

design and customisation options are useless unless you are paying for it, why
create a game with 2 currencies when your only focusing on one currencie, that is
the payment version for uridium, theres no credit option in this game,

MORE SKIN OPTIONS FRO FLAX DRONE AND SHIP SKINS FOR CREDITS WOULD GIVE FREE CREDIT PLAYERS OPTION TO PLAY AND MAKE THEM STAY, INSTEAD OF BEING SO URIDIUM AND MONEY BASED.

galaxy gates - 11 galaxy gates currently in the game all aimed at payment and
uridium option, theres no choice in this game for any players to experience a
galaxy gate why, is it really gonna harm do if players get 1 option to get a
galaxy gate in the game after all this time, guys you really need to start
implementing credit options for players, yes you may have millions of players
registerd but there not playing for one simple reason, theres no option to play
unless you pay, this is ment to be a free game. its currently not, its only free
to register, you cant really get any real game play out of this because all the
uridium items being released are too over powering for even the strongest credit
players.

THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF IDEAS SUGGESTED FOR CREDIT GATES TO BE ADDED, EVEN IF IT IS JUST ONE.

crafting system - who ever created this system needs sacking because its the
biggest waste of time in the game, there no point in even doing it, as its all
items you cant get in trade for a lot cheaper and a lot easier process, it just
feel like you guys are listening to all the wrong people. and its destroying this
game.

PUT ITEMS ON CRAFTING THAT ARENT ON TRADE, ITS POINTLESS HAVING ITEMS THAT ARE ON TRADE IN THERE.

 

i would be crazy if I didn't get behind this idea. More designs for my bigboy would be a great boost, especially for damage.

Nostro designs on assembly should have been the first thing there, especially during the assembly event. They were quick to put the game's new love, the surgeon and pusat, in there but left out the obviously hard stuff that the game is likely to never see, the nostro designs and for that matter the drone formation I can't think of the name of.

The 9th and 10th Flax would be a great boost to those of us at the bottom of the orbit gene pool as apis and zues takes tons of time to find the blueprints for anyways. With these being special drones, they should not interfere with normal flax to iris transition.

I don't see them changing the gate system since you can build gates from pally. Its slow but effective and the only way I have ever built a gate since playing. Well I have gotten spins from boxes also but as I don't just box per say, pally has been my way of building gates.

You brought up a great subject. The game has been on a ramp towards uri based everything and the design for the bigboy was a big surprise when it came out. I think somebody designed it while messing around, and probably for their own account use so they may had well published it for users. Stay on it.

 

Now that a person can own these ships without interfering with the ships they normally play with I like the idea. I currently own every credit ship available and all of the ships except those on Weekly Auction or Pay to Get Ships (G-Champion, Surgeon, Pusat, Etc) and know some players used to enjoy selling their bigger ships just to fly a P'nut (Phoenix) to have some fun with, now it is just a matter of equipping them and making them the active ship, don't even have to assign them to the "Favorite Hangar" except if you want to be able to warp into it.

There have been several threads opened trying to create gates for the Free Players including a suggestion for Weekly Gates (where I had created 3 different "level" gates which could be done solo or group). These were kinda like a practice gate for the Special G G's above Delta Gate and Pirate maps.

The entire Assembly thing needs to be looked into again, the drop rate is way too low and the materials needed is way too high to be an effective means for the free player to benefit from. But I do agree items that are not available in Auction but cost Uridium should be able to be assembled (cost of materials should not exceed 1.5 Uridium cost) and the materials should be received along with the normal cargo from the NPC's killed and the amount should be dropped according to the type of NPC (regular drops 1 piece, boss drops 2 pieces, Uber drops 3-4 pieces), the drop rate should every 10 NPC (of same type) killed maximum.

I also agree there should be an interim drone for all persons to have while they are trying to build the Apis or Zeus drones, a single slot Iris/Flax that could be bought cheaply with Uridium (15-30K each) or high with credits would be nice to see.

I have voiced my discontent of the Booty Chests being dropped by NPC's and forcing us to Buy the keys to collect the reward from our efforts to kill them. I went as far as suggesting they Give us a BK for every NPC dropped Chest no matter what color is dropped allowing us to collect the reward for the kill. Currently when a Ultra Booty Day hits I don't even bother trying to kill anything over a normal NPC because the drop rate for the Chests is like 50-75% BC instead of cargo.

Hopefully this gets further support by other players and picked up by the Dev Team.

 

fyi... not one player idea has ever been utilised in the game..no one cares on this update and idea pool its just another smoke and mirror tactic from BP ...trust me i know...ps...still not bought prem

 

Actually a number of ideas from players have been put into the game. This is something I have seen since starting this account. New players are able to do a gate, as a mission, something that was suggested over and over again. There are other things that I bring up in my profile that has happened, as well.

 

I also agree there should be an interim drone for all persons to have while they are trying to build the Apis or Zeus drones, a single slot Iris/Flax that could be bought cheaply with Uridium (15-30K each) or high with credits would be nice to see.

NO NO NO NO, NO URIDIUM FOR FLAX ITEMS GUYS COME ON FLAX IS A CREDIT ITEM ITS NEED TO BE A CREDIT ITEM.

 

The only reason I say this is they are an interim drone and as such should be something that does cost some Uridium, whereas the HIGH amount of Credits would require much more time to accumulate than the Uridium. Your 75 Mil Credit price for the pair would take over a week to collect and my 45K Uridium could be collected in less than 12 hours of boxing. And considering they are replacing drones that would cost 300 Mil Uridium to buy outright 45 K does not sound that expensive, this especially since they are continued on until you decide to build the Apis or Zeus drones.

But then this is just suggestions to a possible addition to the game and would require over a year to implement.

 

they need to stop making things more expensive without giving us a higher income!

they need to stop making things more expensive without giving us a higher income!

 

the the price for credits can be lowerd mate, not all players especially new ones who don't use money with the credit items, can afford 45k, even if they do use 12 hours to get it.

 

this is a great idea, I would love to have 10 flax, I currently only play for free but cant do much as I cant afford to pay into this game, but I play for abit, but I cant move far from port as fe and ufe players kill me staright away, this is a good idea I hope devs team take a close look and implement something for the free players that use credits.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing more credit options, this is a genuime idea with a lot of promise, we need to start pushing darkorbit to release more credit option and not just supporting there paying players. especially with this drone idea, I have no chance in hell in getting the 9th and 10th and some of these ideas are great. would love a credit gate, but not hopefull.

 

I totally support the galaxy gate idea, ithink there should be 1 or 2 galaxy gates for credits, no free player can afford the galaxygates, give us free players an option aswell.
I also think the booty boxes droped out of the aliens should be free or remove them from kills.

 

darkorbit will always support its paying players in favour of it free players, itll only take a few forum freaks to destroy any hope of any of this happening.

but saying that im in full agreeance with this idea, free items should be updated and new credit items and ships should be released.
one of my favourites is the galaxy gate idea, I think this would keep a lot of free players around and give them somthing to aim for, at the moment if you not fe and above then your really not important to the dev of this game, they only focus on one thing and that's money, and those players that spend spend and spend more on silly items for a lot of uri and money only cause the dev team to carry on doing it. I hope this thread get some support and attention from the dev teams.

 

I don't play as much as I would like, for the simple reason as this thread is stating, everything brought into this game for the players paying for tons of uridium and playing to win so in turn do released all these new items for tons of uri and money because they know at some point these players are going to buy this stuff, that's why none of it is aimed at credit players with no credit options to buy.
my account has a full level up on the sky lab and I can get possibly 9 - 12 mill creds in a day, possible more if I use the uri I scrape together from kills, the outcome is that im just building credits with nothing to use them on, I know theres a selection of ships in trade we can aution for, but the realistic view on things is that no free player is going to get the 1 billion credits its take to get one of these ships.
this game is very one sided and I think the darkorbit team need to have a review on things they are bringing into this game. no free player can compete in this game they cant even attempt to compete against other free playing players as there always port hugging and the players that wanna play and enjoy the game aint gonna venture far from port resulting in them losing interest in this game which is kinda disheartening as I have been told numerous times this was once a great game.

we need to support this game and make it more equal, I support this thread and hope darkorbit developers support this thread and improve the playing experience for the free players.
'' one unhappy darkorbit free player''.

 

I find it funny that you think I am one of those who are WALLETS in this game. I do buy Premium for my us2 account but have the us3 account completely FREE. I have both accounts FE with multiple ships/Hangars (prior to the New System), and with little effort I would be able to afford the 9th and 10th Flax Replacement drones whether Credit or Uridium priced from in-game items. I am still in need of the Aegis Base Ship and all of the Skill Designs (weekly Auction) on us3 but do generate 7 million credits a day from the SkyLab alone.

Short of filling several ships with LF-3's, since these need to be replaced with LF-4's, I have received enough BO2 and 7900 generators to equip 75% of the ships I want to be able to warp into, and with not wanting to waste the credits for overpriced items in auction usually get them for less than 1500K (speed) and 7500K (shield), however do have all of the extras needed for all of these ships and eventually will start working on getting them for every Ship I have available, 27 of 36 on us3 and 33 of 40 on us2 (I have the Peacemaker, Sovereign, Surgeon, and Vanquisher as I did buy them). Just for reference this is the equipment I have and again us3 is a FREE account;

Item/ us2/ us3
LF-4/ 0/ 1
LF-3/ 66/ 40
LF-2/ 3/ 2
HST-2/ 11/ 11
7900/ 54/ 75
BO2/ 51/ 103
SMB-01/ 10/ 10

ROK-TO1/ 10/ 10
RL-LB1/ 10/ 10
RD-CPU/ 10/ 10
RB-CPU/ 20/ 20
NC-RRB/ 10/ 10
NC-AWB/ 10/ 10
NC-AGB/ 10/ 10
MIN-TO2/ 10/ 10

REP-04/ 10/ 10

I do spend more time in my us3 account as it is the account I log in on when I access the forums and thus watch the Auctions a lot more during this time and not being premium took the most time in the Skylab for transfers before the Hangar change since I was unable top get the Citadel and Aegis before this, now I send 6000 twice a day to coincide with my 10920 on us2. I also have over 86 Mil credits on us3 and 2300 Mil credits on us2.

Now that you know where I am coming from maybe you might understand my suggestion.

 

If your bidding, yes, all that can be gotten in auction, except for the LF4 of course. Time and Patience, but what the OP is talking about has nothing to do with that rundown. Even on my main, I got all of that stuff in auction, and spread out about 7 servers, I have spent a lot of time in the auction. This thread is about the designs for ships, I know they are all ships for the most part now, and drones.

Ok, did a re-read of this entire thread. With as long as it takes to get apis and zues, its good that a credit 9th and 10th flax would take some work to get. It is a flax and therefore should stay credit. Personally, I would agree with the price being even double what was suggested in credits as one week of work when it takes over a year for most to get apis or zues seems low. I play daily, and with my game plan, its going to take years to get my credit items fully upgraded. I just spent 138 mil during upgrade hour a week ago to upgrade my flax set one level. Get the 9th or 10th flax with that same credits seems unreal. Also, as this would be another flax, possibly with the same damage containment, I say it could be done. After all, admin accounts have 12 drones total so its not much of a stretch.

HMHY, I don't think the OP, or really anyone, considers you a wallet warrior. That could depend on definition but lets not dwell on that. I don't think being premium is really enough to have that badge. Also be advised you will get to the forums under your same forum name from US2.

If they put out one credit item a year compared to the amount of uri or payment items that come out each year, I personally would say we got some attention.

 

I find it funny that you think I am one of those who are WALLETS in this game.
I didn't assume anything, im simply stating its not a uridium item so there no point in changing it to uridium from credits.

don't understand why everybody always pushes for uridium items to be released.

I curently play on 7 servers, and don't pay on any of them, I only every now and then stick £7.50 maybe one evry 2 months,

my main gb1 acc has 968 million credits
my gb2 acc has 456 million credits
my u.s acc has 300 million credits
my Czech republic acc has 500 million credits
my global Europe acc has 235 million credits

my spain and france accs don't get much gameplay.

im simply stating why have credits as a reward if theres nothing to buy with them, I know my credit may be small in comparison to most players, but again those with billions of credits have nothing ot use them on so its essentially as useless in game currency as theres no options.

credit items are based in this game to give new players a starting base to get into this game but at a certain point even if you are fully upraged credit item players your still no match for a standard fe player.

there for extra items like a 9th and 10th flax and new credit ship skins or designs is gonna give new players an option to atleast compete and have a chance at playing against other players on the same level,

 

im a free player on gb1, im on most days for a couple of hours but I don't stay on long as soon as fe and ufe players come into maps we cant move from port as there way to strong compared to me as a free player I have no choice but to log off as I cant even compete even against most noobs its a challenge but that's ok, atleast with a noob I get alittle bit of a fighting chance.
I have a level 15 skylab, I do have a goliath but even a credit player I don't have much to offer in firepower and shield strength, im currently level 11 but I can get to uppers then if I die boom back to lowers but I know the score with that. I personally only have 8 flax. due to not moving from port much I don't get a chance to build my uri, and when I die I have to pay to repair my ship.
but back to this thread, I think the op has hit upon a very important part of the game even for new players some just wont comment on these threads, because the bigger players that pay into this game will get noticed more than a credit low level player.
I would like to see more options for credit players in the game it hink it would keep new players from quitting if items brought out were design for credit options aswell. but unfortunately this game is massively expensive to play and to get fe or even ufe. which I cant see my self achieving in my lifetime of playing.

 

Absolutely love this idea, but...

...Let's face it, BigPoint hates everything that's not Pay2Win.

They will discard this idea and put it on the "Free to Play" pile where all the other F2P-supporting ideas are left to rot.

 

Play 4 free = stay in the x-2 maps - all day all night :-( Venter when strong
