Updates on game

[Jaax]

Hello

I recently have seen a ton a bug fixes and engine improvements for performance etc regarding the game, I am wondering if this means anything. Can we get any information regarding if we will see any new pirate galaxy content in the next 1-2 years? or is the game just completed and devs are just bug fixing? Would be nice if the SS team would tell us what their plan is for the game.

Hello Jaax.

The devs are always trying to improve things on the engine and performance issues.
All minor updates, could be a sign of things to come, who knows!!

All updates will be posted on the offical thread, just keep an eye on that and see what happens.

i'm thinking a massive update might come on the 10 of December 2030 XD

They still could say what the Future holds for it. Yes, we are working on new things beside Ships. Or: No, we don't have plans anymore and just keep it alive.

Yeah thats what I was asking, but got meme message from my boy clock GMS/Devs please give us any information, will keep the game more active due to giving people a reason to play right now to farm cryo/blueprints for next chapter of PG

I appreciated the achievements technical upgrade. Are the devs working on anything like a achievement pin system, where players can pin up to 5 achievements to more easily track their progress? The left panel has tons of real estate for a pinning system, only having the mission and log bars.

We are on to something to finally make the golden skulls up use as promised. Next dev shack will be not far away to outline the plan for it.

It was kind of a meme post. but i did say "keep an eye on the official thread" and now Highway has replied.

Just got to wait and find out now.

It's highly appricated to keep the players in the loop and any updates are welcome, however on my server Askone skulls are not an enjoyable part of the game for the majority of players who still play the game, this may be pre-emptive and there may be a massive overhaul for skulls etc but incase not, I would really push the devs for PVE content as this captivated 90% or more of the playbase. If the skull system stays the same, shooting for warscore endlessly like an NPC and whoever has the most time wins I can say with high certainty that this will not bring back players back active into the game again, I hope skulls will be a skillful mechanic from features like reactor, conquests, otbs and bounty. These are my hopes for the game, what I believe the majority would enjoy from my experience.

I also urge anyone from any server to leave their feedback and advice for what they would enjoy in pirate galaxy to give the dev team some nice ideas to work with, the main thing we get from this thread is that SSS still care about updating and making new content in Pirate Galaxy <3 Lets support our small team of devs and help them know what the players want

Please give Sirius an overhaul. It's exhausting, you are not really allowed to miss any Sirius BPS otherwise you are stuck with Earth 2 or Venar BPs on either Earth2 or Calon, because the Strong Blaster doesn't drop for the next Months you need to unlock the New Tech.


Add a reward System for helping new Players, or make it so you can get Kry again if a new player is with you in the Mission. Or something else.

Login Bonuses that somewhat gives people a reason to log in again.

Try new thing beside Reactor, Player driven Invasions, the Mantis attack a Planet, lets say Moon, you accept the Mission and waves of Mantis spawn, they have Outposts you need to destroy and in the End a final Boss. (something like this)

Defending a Planet against Invasions, same as above, but we are the defending Party.

Play more with Global Events, higher BP drop Chance, Speedbuff etc.

Give me reasons to Play Pirate Galaxy. Give me Events or Missions to farm Blueprints, don't make them Bullshit hard that people only buy the Blueprints. If new players can't finish Events nowadays without the System Based Sirius Tech Weapons the Mission is badly designed.

Make Tau Ceti Missions easier, if you need Dozens of external help to fly the Mission they are badly designed.

Emphasize more Mission types this game can correctly Display and Support, Missions like Triangulation Trap are not FUN. The Distance Display updates slowly. Make the Ships more agile with the Arrow Keys, it works with Clicking around.


The old Systems are dead, make the interesting again with Events on the Planets. Baumar is flooded with Mantis of a given type that drop much more Kry or Blueprints, or even special blueprints.

The game has a Solid Foundation, just use it and build upon it. You don't even need new Enemies or Ships or whatever, just use what's already made and give it new meaning with something to do. I wish i could fly more around in Mizar and do stuff, but there's nothing left for me. What should i do in Mizar nowadays? I have all Gold Blueprints, I have all Missions, there is nothing that drags my attention towards it. Fill it with something. Create a Event System you just activate and it starts random things to do fo us.

A few weeks back we helped someone who did stick towards Draconis reach Sirius, that was the most fun i had in a while, doing the missions with Ships from the Systems.

God damn Highway just make more out of this game please...

These changes include how they are obtained? Currently, obtaining them depends on who can invest the most time, there's no skill or strategy involved, it's just pure dead time.

Hope everyone is having a good day - Some feedback from me :


Re-routing Traffic:
I believe new additions of any content should be done in the lower system, and move the existing players from the higher system to travel to the lower system to keep them active as well. I believe this will encourage new players to strive for going to the higher system and not give up after vega or antress system.
Majority of the time, high-level players don't go to the lower system because there is nothing to do there, and the majority of the new players just leave the game because they have been asking for help too long and no one shows up, or they have no one to play the game with.


Reactor challenges:
Currently, Asura and the ifrit reactor challenges are the most played reactor challenges, and the cortex has some value when compared with the Egal Eye or Nephlim cortex. I believe making nephlium and egal-eye hold some value and make the player want it will increase active players, as well as making the lower systems active as well.


Skull and Achievement:
Thank you for giving us some feedback to look forward to Highway. Hopefully, something similar can be done for the achievement system.


I have amazing ideas I want to share as well, but to keep it relevant, these will have to do for now.

Sincere regards
wowieeeee

Some more general ideas from what others have posted here

The difficulty of Erebos misions and some from EIU whilst a bit tedious at points due to outdated engine/mechanics I believe a lof of players enjoyed that aspect feeling very rewarded when completeing, I think it was the right decision to make Erebos SMS challening.

Event drop rates are really just a joke, I assume it was done on purpose to push people to spend gold on it (fair enough you need to make money) but making it more viable to play the event still pushes people for membership and makes the event way more active, it lowkey feels impossible to complete the events nowdays without spending an absurd ammount of time. New events would also bring a ton of people back into the game.

Cortex/Drones are a really good concept with unlimited ideas and potential however there needs to be some changes, first the eagle-eye is COMPLETELY useless with nephlim being okay for farming ships, Ifrit is pretty perfectly balanced for what it does and how it was gained, however now Asura... this thing NEEDS to be nerfed in PvP scenarios, 25% dmg reduction is abosolutely too much, with armor drone + asura the damage reduction is just ridiculous. I would suggest chaning the asura to 10-20% damage reduction, if on the lower side 10-15% it could be changed to 4 items active or alternatively balancing the 25% by being 2 items on cooldown. On too drones, drones started as having 3 active max, but over the years/decade so many more drones have been introduced I think it makes sense to allow 4 active drones. The drone balance changes were pretty damn good imo.

White missions could server more purpose, giving 20% more cryonite would be a good start, in blueprint finding missions how about rewarding 1 extra part of the blueprint too.

There are also many useless planets that could just be used for any updates or new content like in the sol system, or the planets in Oort

Login system, rewards for achivements, sirius overhaul are all other good things for the game.

What do you mean you need "Dozens" of external help for Tau-Ceti Missions? bro we did all of them with either 4 people or full squad and NO external help at all... your clan should L2P at this point for real..

Damnn I love this, finally some good stuff

 

[KingSub]

Bro, we are just as big as the dev team. Of course we can do the story without external help. We are build for extreme situations, others are not. They only know external help and spam with chroma or gneiss. Tc x ships are not used at all in tc story. Some even prefer the wolfhound to the fox because it's easier to handle. The best example is BR and the other one who "accidentally" deleted his clan.

 

[KingSub]

There are also many useless planets that could just be used for any updates or new content like in the sol system, or the planets in Oort

Good good, but... If you strictly adhere to the end of oort, the ancient entity says that coexistence on oort is not possible and they leave the known system. Which system they will leave is unknown, but I think that a new planet will appear on oort.

Did ChatGPT came up with that answer for you? You should think about other players as well, not everyone is a good player, we can handle TC Missions ourselves, there are enough people who can't do it without massive help cause they are just bad. You are really tone-deaf.

 

[Jaax]

This thread is only to inform the DEVS/GMS of what we as the players want to see, everyone is entilted to their opinions, where there are good players there are also bad players. Please keep the thread respectful to everyone, otherwise I fear that it will become a fiesta of BS and no one will read.

GMS remove stupid posts from the thread please <3

 

[ClockWire]

Let’s keep things respectful, everyone.
Once the thread turns negative or disrespectful, it not only discourages discussion but risks losing developer engagement. I’d really hate to have to lock the thread

As Highway mentioned, he's actively working on the Gold Skulls as promised. Hopefully we’ll hear more in the Dev Shack soon a good sign that more updates are on the way.

Just remember: it takes time to create content, and you all manage to blast through it in two weeks

Keep the feedback and ideas coming it really helps shape future updates!

 

[sergi211]

I'm the only one that sees skulls being cared about by 1% playerbase ?
Anyway i will keep an eye on that dev shack to see if there is a point to even consider coming back to the game
