How about u guys play something else if u are too lazy to hunt Gold bps, they are supposed to be rare.
Some of us are trying to improve the game here, and actually want the game to survive. If you don't have an appropriate argument to share, please don't chime in.

Like i care xD
If you don't care and the only thing you can do here is to post stupid cats, why are you trying to fight against other players who want to fix specific game issues?
You won't benefit from opposing others so I assume you just enjoy being annoying.

I usually rarely chime in these arguments, and when i did it was in game, but i believe looking up on how rare bps work would be beneficial for new players and players who are stuck in lesser systems, in my experience most people who drop out early do it because of the "forced" group fights at the end of a system and because of the way golds work, that's just my view though, i'm in no way a big member of the community or something, just someone who plays the game since 2013-ish.

I agree. It's one of the main factors of why I am off & on with this game. I only return for the nostalgia, and fairly unique playstyle & game mechanics. But the use of "implied," forced group fights is a main factor in the declining player population.

"Implied", due to the
  1. requirement of leading or being in a clan for Sirius access,
  2. blueprint drop quantity when defeating boss units, and
  3. the sheer "difficulty" in being able to kill Sirius units, even if you start from Ring 1 w/ a maxed Draconis ship. "Difficulty" in quotes, because it's not difficult, but rather it is a pure number difference game between you and the NPC. You are essentially forced to rely on the NPC missing its shots in order to get your kills
When it comes to solo-play or story missions, requiring player assistance should never, ever be a requirement.

And to the players in this thread, and on this game, saying this game requires skill, play another game such as Star Conflict, or Dark Souls. Those games require skill. Pirate Galaxy is not at all a skill based game. Skill only comes in for PvP & PvP only. Even then, it's lackluster.

and because of the way golds work
I can't comment on it too much, as that change did not appear to change the rate at which players continued to drop from the game. But I can imagine it did not contribute towards improving a player's quality of life.

One of the biggest hits to me I've noticed, is the requirement of getting Sirius blueprints unlocked, in order to access any of Tau Ceti's. Now I'm put in quite the spot for that. You're telling me, that with me being unable to get any sort of help in Sirius system, I am now effectively eliminated from being allowed to play the game? In order to get any help, I have to stay up late into the night/early morning in order to have any sort of progression?
