true, but the memberships do give you e boosts which is cool....Wolfkun said:It's not really okay right now.. especially if you have a membership.
Crunching the numbers you'd spend 5-6 minutes of your time gathering energy.. where it only takes 9-10 minutes to lose it all using the best blaster and repair bot for your rank. A third of your game play time is spent farming energy.
Check out my energy overhaul suggestion!
Even less than that in the top end system, especially when hunting rares as it takes at least 4 minutes to empty ur energy surplies thats minusing the Respawn Time, but u didn't really get the point of the idea, the idea was that the better ur collector the more energy u gain so if ur in Gemini: Current Version: 50-100 e even with Sub-Standard Collector. My Idea: 50-100 with basic Gemini Collector and 20-30 e with sub-Standard which i think i got that wrong and it's 10-20 e.Wolfkun said:I guess I didn't explain it clearly...
5-6 minutes to fully max out your energy..
9-10 minutes to use it all.. using only the best blasters and repair bots for your rank.
That's not using the speed boost or the shields even..
Wate till u get into the Mizar Systempeck said:what are you talking about? i can't even drain e that fast even in behemoth battles. the fastest i have ever drained my e is about 15 min in vega behemoth battle. btw, I'm not a member. and why do you want it to take longer to charge?
Yes but with the Collector it doesn't interfere with SplitScreens ProfitsWolfkun said:My suggestion about E-Collecting is that the amount collected from an energy orb should equal (Rank * 10) no matter what planet you are on.. with players rank 1-9 acquiring double energy (standard members get x1.5, advanced x2, elite x3).
So it's about the same as your idea, just scaled upwards based on your rank rather than your collector.. I believe the collector should only affect the speed of collecting like it currently does.
In one of the older versions of the u could get Enrgy collection BoostersWolfkun said:With the increased energy collection as an incentive for members (especially when they get an increased energy cap) I doubt there is any reason why my suggestion is a bad idea.. because right now if you do have a membership it takes however much you time it took to max out your energy before and multiplies it by you cap increase.
For elite members? This is 8x.
NO!Ahsoka said:this something i thought of about energy were the better ur collector the more energy u can collect but if u have the Sub-Standard Collector and ur on Prosp then the amount of energy you collect would be something like 20-30 energy but if used the Fusion Collector you get 50-100 energy.
What u think guys?
I wasn't on about punishing low level players if they cannot afford a new collector. It's just most players would be used to collecting cetain amounts of energy from 1 system then when they go into another they get higher, but people in the high-end systems r grinding and it would normaly take at least 10-15 minutes to refill, thats if they had the patience (something that i can't realy deny ^^).Adrana said:Wolfkun, you are a new player, I see Rank 10, you have not the slightest idea how the energy collecting happened before they changed it. You spend like 10 x more time collecting your E till cap.
This suggestion has been made before the changes already, and has been turned down, it is somewhere in the archives.
The E collecting system of today, I and so many others, are very pleased with, and I do not want a change to it for now.
You realize how unfair it would be for players whos just unlocked a new system, and they like eg in Antares would collect same amount of E of what they collected at Vega, and still they have to rank to 18 before they can achieve and purchase an Antares ship, using higher tech and better collectors. It takes a long time for a Vega player to collect in that higher system, also takes time to collect amounts of cry to upgrade their low rank ships, and many will rather not spend their cry on vega tech and ships once they reach Antares, they rather would save their cry to get Antares ship and tech, why should lower rank players be punished cause they cannot afford to purchase a better collector?.
Also you have to use your common sense, each system, and planet has higher rank enemies, aka Mantis, each rank is harder than the other, and each rank requires to shoot more before the mantis can get killed.
That means the higher rank mantis they have to battle, the more they will consume E.
Why should a Vega player not have the same rights of collecting higher orbs once they reach Antares and Terasa or other systems. Think of it.
Ok but what about conservative players like me? I rarly get the top notch collector and also remeber, Harvesters drop the collector BP's and they are defended by Intercepters, its impossible for a new noob in the system to be able to solo harvesters so he can start getting better e.Ahsoka said:I wasn't on about punishing low level players if they cannot afford a new collector.

Ususal Noob's in Vega should also learn that as a team they can beat almost anything together, usualy SM's would not get people those aspects in the gameCommanderCody said:Ok but what about conservative players like me?

So? People dont help others rarly No more, only clans do, I wish they'd increase the reward for SM's if ur in a squad with people who arnt in ur clan. Btw, i highly doubt a squad packed with Vega noobs could Solo a harvester and if they did, they'd need allota e which would make it harder for them if you require you have a good collector to max out the energy.Ahsoka said:Ususal Noob's in Vega should also learn that as a team they can beat almost anything together, usualy SM's would not get people those aspects in the gameCommanderCody said:Ok but what about conservative players like me?

euhmm, problem is that players want the easy way, when i was on the PTR of the vega i was one of the first so i had a great group of players, with 2 players you can easily beat a rank 15 harvester. solo you can kill a rank 13 harvester only with vega tech.CommanderCody said:So?
