Final Sniper Feedback

[pbhuh]

Whats the purpose of the sniper these days?

The sniper is keeps getting weaker, it's no longer fun to fight other players and it can barely withstand any damage before collapsing...

I got thinking last update when you made the sniper once again worse,

I already tought that I made the wrong choice, the sniper used to many energy vs the cryonite it could grind, but i was ok as I tought it was my own fault, I was stupid for buying a bad ship, I knew the consequenses etc.

but if SS makes the sniper worse then why would I keep my mouth shut, I bet with a storm I could farm uch more cryonite, finish draconis and also play with the Sirius Singularity...

Now if SS would be polite, I think it should be pretty easy to give me an META-02 Storm and steal my META-05 Sniper away.

My Meta-05 Sniper has a ZP Pulsar Blaster, AM Wormhole Collector, ZP Mono-Cryodrine Vapor Repair Droid, ZP Power Afterburner, ZP Preonic Beam Sniper Blaster and ZP Sky Lancer Orbital Strike.

Pretty bad, I know, but is it that hard to confert that to a ZP Pulsar Blaster, AM Wormhole Collector, ZP Mono-Cryodrine Vapor Repair Droid, ZP Power Afterburner, ZP Helical Ray Rocket and ZP Dimensional Omnipotence Aim Computer?

I feel like it's pretty sad that the snipers keep losing their power, sure the CoC says that it's intelectual property and stuff and SS isn't responible for losing data etc.

Can't they make an exception for this time to confert all snipers that want a storm, a tank, a engineer or a shock?

Now for me, the only thing that woudl change is the prices: sniper blaster: 33652 and rocket: 34325, orbital strike: 44746 and Aim Computer; 43443

I would lose about 700 cryonite, not much, but I would pay every cryonite I had left now, just to be able to play a META-02 Storm instead of a sniper.

LOL! ^^
you really think they care about what you or any other player WANTS? if they did they wouldnt make draco so hard and 5x more expensive than sol in the first place.
there's one thing in which sniper excels at and it's grinding - now sit in your sniper and grind for your meta storm if u want one.

if you had membership yes...

 

[Whatever]

if you had membership yes...

there's something called "determination" - you dont need membership to grind cryo for another ship. i grinded parsec, defender (both fully rared) without membership. grind on molikar (8 to 10k an hour), your sniper can one-shot kill a harv there. grind 50k a day (20k in the morning 30k in the night) for 10-15 days and you'll have your storm m8. now, personally i dont see the logic in the loot system that gives more cryonite in lower systems such as mizar than draco gazica harvs for example, but drop rate is something controlled by SS so they have a final say on this.

i know one thing however, and that is the fact that only way for you to get a new ship is to grind for it - if you find grinding boring you can do 2 things:
1. continue playing with the sniper ship you have
2. quit the game.

simple

am i right we earn 7-11k cryo each hour, hm and ships cost over 881k cry, full rare )

 

[Heriiwax]

no you're wrong: 20kC/hr

 

[ridoi]

no you're wrong: 20kC/hr

well I make so much, with out UM, yes it is bad, did try everywhere, no luck

I bought a sniper after I got bored of grinding in parsec for months and months (earth lvl 58s), the parsec's armor is a lot better than the sniper but the firepower is... not as good compared to the meta-05 sniper. the sniper is just 1 simple click and all inters are gone and with the parsec u need to shoot a few (2 or sometimes 3) rockets. the parsec is worser in firepower but the good thing is that u can take 2 harvs at same time without using repair and doing an effort to use 'your skills' . But after all I think theyre both nice ships to grind in but the sniper is the most complete ship to grind because of its os which kills all inters in one single strike ^^

the level 58 harvs are almost all was busy, but not the level 60, then a parsec is nice to have

This is exaclty what i was going to say

The thing is, the sniper requires a different playstyle to other ships if you want to use it well. If you are used to a storm it is obvious why you are having problems, as storm players are used to charging into a group of mantis and rocketing them all without much damage done to their ship. To play well in a sniper you cant do that. You have to use the extra range to advantage and avoid taking on multiple mantis,or you will end up podding over and over.

It is well balanced, you just have to use it right. If you are having problems with certain situations try thinking about what you are about to do before doing it. It is too easy just to ab around on the hive and then wonder why you keep podding. It does, as a few people have already put it, require "skill".

In terms of the grinding, yes it does take weeks if you dont have very long to play per day, but in the end its about determination. You can do it if you put your mind to it. I was stupid enough to, on the release of draconise, have 0 cry from the amount of pvp I did in Sol. There were some who started on negative cry from the glitch. However, these people managed to grind the cry neccesary to build a drac ship, and im getting there. I have comparatively very little time to play but i still do when i can.

In short, quit crying, nothings going to change, get on with it.

[Poland]

[134679hun]

This seems to have become a thread sudden about grinding spots.

Well everything has a starting and an ending point.
