Future for PG

[Dreadnouhgt]

Hello,

are there any plans from Split to bring this game back to life? A Graphical overhaul with longer render distances, or even a tuning of the Cooldow System for Items? Since 2012 when i started with this game, the Cooldown stumbles over its own feet when a fast Blaster is combined with a Strong Speedbuff.

Maybe a new Ad Campaign or Marketing Mails telling everyone the game is not complete empty? ^^

A Graphical overhaul with longer render distances

I think the current state of the game engine is more spaguetti-flavored code than anything else... They don't touch it too much because somehow it still works and players keep paying for their booster and membership anyways, so why make any effort?

And I think they already said (somewhere on the forum) they don't have the staff to re-made the game itself.

Marketing Mails telling everyone the game is not complete empty? ^^

Players are dispatched between differents server, oh you wanna go to a more populated server where there is people to play conquest, join a friend or just play with people? To bad, create a new character and restart the game again... Oh so fun, I want to lose my time to farm blueprint from events again, to make boring mission again, farm for good ships again... Nah at this point a lot of player just quit.

We got the case with Kalgan when one of the 2 biggest fleet leave the server because their leader got banned...

And yeah bring more new players with ads or maybe idk put the game on Steam or another game platform where it could be found by players who just seach for spaceship games, could renew the playerbase. But I doubt they go to the end of the game.

i still think that ads isnt going to do much, because the game is very dated and there are a lot of issues with grind in specific systems, most of the mmo crowd (specially the old mmos crowd) are already occupied grinding away in their favorite mmo, so who would be the audience for PG?

Hello fellows, ads wouldn't do anything good to this game. People would see sol, tau ceti and oort system and would think awesome graphics of the spaceships and planets" but this game needs time to grow to a 99 player and completing all the way up to Sirius and Tau ceti and then they quit.

This game needs to be released on Steam. New Welcome packages for Steam or In-game Players from the Client. The game also has a lot of servers my suggestion is abolish 2 servers and then port the players to the international server would be the first important thing.

We still wait for the new devshack and playerbased invasions.

Game can be inproved my implementing Clan Planets with a base what can be invaded without a CQ , Clanfunds to 2 mil cap with a clan drone what sends 5% of cryo drop to clanfund,
Defence towers from RDX events base buildings , with a cryo reward system, No cryo lost policy on those planets.
It will improve PvP , a lot of fun , and clan loyalty with the defening of the base on the planet.
Olso we have now Ancient techs, Why not Primal Ancient techs that have 10% more power/time of the type bp
What buggs me is when you lagg in the game when you open achiefments on your profile or that history takes long to show up.Ui failure is olso a thing

The game is actually quite adequate for its time. I don't see any shortcomings in the game. We can't expect an MMO game to be Unreal Engine 5 anyway. That means too much cost. Not everyone's computer can handle it anyway.

On the other hand, advertising is useless. MMO advertising is long gone. But as mentioned, coming to Steam and having an event because it's coming to Steam can gather some players.

Also, merging servers is a great idea. Many old games do this. For example, an old MMO-RPG game "Lord Of The Rings Online" did this last March and the population increased incredibly. The same goes for Pirate Galaxy. Opening a server based in Europe and America would be enough.

"Not everyone computer can handle that" thats not true mate, we are living in 2025 and most people still use the gtx1080ti. If they want to release the full game on epic launcher, steam or whatever more people would play this game for 10 more years. I have a gtx1050ti and sometimes i have massive fps drops on high settings while other games are running smooth with high settings. Its not about the gpu, its about how the game was created. But i must say the game performance improved a lot through the years i remember when i played this game on a athlon 64 2,2ghz single core. I dont remember the gpu but i was for office work not for gaming back then. Also java was a problem for me back then. This was around end of 2009.

You are right about advertising its. The best advertising are we players to get some new players from YouTube, Instagram or even tiktok.

What we need is this one "primal" location on draconis who nobody's talking about. We don't need more CQs updates or reworks that not getting money for splitt. What do you mean with Primal Ancient techs? The Tau Ceti Rares are actually Ancient Techs and also the neural network techs.

To be honest i thought the TC rares will have the similar ability cooldown and strength just like the strong ancient variants. That would be a nice gift for us.
