[UI] More ores

So way back when I first started the game the funnest aspect of the game was just collecting ores... I think You guys should put Duranium and promet in uppers you have already created the 2d sprites for the ores (not to sure about 3d) so it wouldn't take much effort to port these assets into the game

 

Skylab will give you all the rocks you need, why add more clutter and possible lag.

 

You get all those ores from the NPC's killed so just collect the cargo boxes dropped by them.

 

You were forced to collect the ores back then because you needed it to run your ship. Now players just use Skylab and forgo collecting dropped cargo from NPCs/other players demise. Most ores can with the exception of Seprom can be found in NPC poofs.

 

The only time anyone takes the time to collect individual ores is Palladium (for Spins) or quests requiring them to be collected from maps. It is faster to kill and collect from the drop the ores wanted than to collect them individually. I do not think cluttering the Upper Maps with Ore is a good idea.

 

I am not talking about that I am talking about putting the raw material in the maps... because like I already said the uppers are kinda bare... I mean you can box but other than that there isnt anything pulling me to the uppers

 

If they replace SOME of the boxes in x-5 through x-7 then there shouldn't be much lag... and also what you see as "clutter" I see as more opportunities to add more quests for higher levels that don't involve PVP... I am not saying get rid of the pvp quests/missions just add some more variety in the gameplay.

 

IF you look at the people doing quests, they are low level players. The players above 21 are doing Galaxy Gates or PvP Hunting, most of them do not Grind NPC's and definitely do not pick up rocks in maps, heck most do not even pick up the cargo from the NPC kills (unless they have run out of sep and are putting prom on their ammunition). The only reason there are so many people collecting Palladium is because they get E E for Galaxy Gates and as the rocks are only good for Credits they are not going to want to collect them.

And replacing the Bonus Boxes with ore is not going to make anyone happy. Raw Materials or Ore they are the same thing. The addition of Raw Materials will be materials for Crafting/Assembly system that is "coming soon" and is supposedly being added to the cargo drops from NPC kills, but may include some floating in the maps. Luckily when not collecting ore they can and are turned off by most players.

The draw to the Uppers is the higher level NPC's and better rewards from killing them.

 

I already hate the daily's for ore collection. Why would you not just mention ore in uppers for collection missions? It already sounds as though there will be something of this nature coming in the future but in order for them to add maybe 5 missions with more substandard reward is just mess. I can collect ore from cargo to sell for my personal goal. Picking up little bits and pieces that are laying around is unnecessary. Kill npc, gain uri, credits, honor, exp, and cargo... Next one...
