OK we had this stupid update that made cryonite drop lower, SS sure did make us work for the cryonite and rares, it's OK, but come on not everyone got membership give us with out membership a chance to grind at list!

we got many planets that aren't used yet! I would say make them to grinding planet as Dante make so only gemini ships can land there and harvs shall be vega class, and maybe at sol it's damn many planets I would say that SS should make so r 0-60 harvs would be there so maybe Mercury should only draconis ships be able to to land cus it's r 45-60 harvesters? at a another planet it might be mizar harvs... for sol ships, it would make it so much easier... or at list make draconis mantis drop more cryonite and better drop rate :/

to be fair mate i know old players that cant be botherd to grind so lets why not put the planets to use in a way that should be fun via this so for planets that arnt used we make them "event planets" like collosus pvp planet but it runs 24/7 meaning slaughter the mantis pvping sq vs sq stuff like that also offer rewards such as a cry bonus each week on each system and make the cry payout 50k for player 1# 25k for player 2# and in 3rd place 12,500 cry 4th place 6,250 and for the 5th player 3,125 cry it would help players grind make it more fun cause when someone says grinding generally working killing mantis and some people find this repetive they want change give them this as it makes the game more fun!

your idea won't help,

what does it help to have harvs on dante, you still have cry penalty.

btw, I have said this once will say it again, if a player in lower system as "Mizar" let's say "Molikar" with FF/MM tech trys to kill some harvs at r44 spot, ohh no ohh no wait a sec, it will take him around 1-2 min just to kill 1 single harv... and he won't get alot of cryonite in that time or good xp, best thing to get xp is to shoot with a high rank player, and for cryonite go to lower system and kill harvs, so if anyone did complain about we "high rank" player takes all the harvester, they/she/it/he forgot that one day I am a high rank player and want to grind... I don't see if a human with a clear brain would have any idea to say that I want lower cryonite drop rate if i got high system tech...

you forget that you are not supposed to shoot harvs as lower ranks...

mhh, so if higher ranks are not allowed to shoot then, lower ranks are not supposed to,

how has to shoot them?

I KNOW!

NO-ONE!

Great job....

Btw, as low rank rocketeers & stuff give good cry, pyro's too, snipers etc.

every systems best bp is x2 the old system best bp, draconis is 4 times. The Draconis Ship = 5x Sol 60's. The Sol 45's = 12K, Sol 60's = 20K Draconis 70's = 100K

does that makes sense?

no-one would care if the prices would have been times 2 or times 1.5

Haha no. The only system that doesn't have double the other systems amount of cryonite for ships is Antares (Vega ship = 445 cryonite/Antares ship = 1862) But then every other system is just about nearly double the same amount as the last system. Basically, it goes like this:

Vega ships = 445 Cryonite
Antares ships = 1,862 Cryonite
Gemini ships = 3,763 Cryonite
Mizar ships = 7,494 Cryonite
Sol ships(45) = 11,628 Cryonite
Sol ships(60) = 20,568 Cryonite
Draconis ships = 108608 Cryonite

So no, your statement is invalid, the Drac ships are absolutely no where near 'double Sol ships(60).

Now same with equipments:
Ion storm blaster = 459 Cryonite
Ion Inferno blaster = 1,230 Cryonite
Fusion Tempest blaster = 1,779 Cryonite
Fusion Force blaster = 4,168 Cryonite
AM Distortion blaster = 9,037 Cryonite
ZP pulsar blaster = 43,443 Cryonite

Now you see that Draconis is no where near double the amount of cryonite of Sol. Draconis is just too much, and grinding has been made harder, so now it is hard for some to grind for a fully equipped Draconis ship (Around 500-600k Cryonite), Which would take about a week to get the ship itself without armour, and then about an extra 3 weeks to grind the last 500k cryonite. This would be extremely difficult to get(Unless some people started grinding a lot before Draconis came out), very time consuming and also energy consuming, making it even harder. Not even all the story missions in the game is enough to fully equip a Draconis ship, because the story mission cryonites altogether is 277,477 Cryonite:

Vega System = 1,290 Cryonite
Antares System = 7,720 Cryonite
Gemini System = 12,097 Cryonite
Mizar System = 28,050 Cryonite
Sol System = 87,345 Cryonite
Draconis System = 90,975 Cryonite

Total = 277,477 Cryonite

Now this tells me that most of the game is simply 'grind grind grind'. Either the story missions need to give you more cryonite, mantis drop more cryonite or just change the whole grinding system to something much enjoyable.

Vega ships = 445 Cryonite
Antares ships = 1,862 Cryonite
and vega / antares is still easy to get,

in vega with a full vega ship non-rare you can grind around 100 cry / 5-10 minutes... Thats a lot. All harvs have nearly 100% drop and harvs are easy to kill even with bulk.

100 cry / 5-10 minutes, thats 1.5-3H grinding.

thats nothing.

I remember that I grinded 10K in 1H with draconis ship w/ membership. thats 10H grinding for ship.

Not what I was trying to point out at all. I don't care if system ships are double the cryonite of the system ships behind. I never said "Ooh Vega and Antares ships are sooo hard to get" because no they are not. I was using these as examples to the whopping 108k for Draconis ships.

A fully equipped Vega ship is easy to get, and imo it is easy to get even if you are still in Vega.

You say
100 cry / 5-10 minutes, thats 1.5-3H grinding.
, then no problems there, since a fully equipped Vega ship costs around 4.5k.

some poeple gonna hate me to say this but best way to grind for draconis players with hive ship is to find i lower ranked guy and go shoots harvs on gazica (lvl63) u take all cry and the lower guy gets xp or maybe golds, i grinded 176k in 7 hours 2 weeks ago so grinding in draconis rlly aint that hard ^^

cryo drop at gazica is maybe bad, but at hive: it's very, very poor
