Ok,

So here is my request to Splitscreen Studios to change the rare prices.

In draconis, the system where the prices are already insane is the differance probebly pretty big and obvious.

A normal draconis ship with all best normal stuff costs 500.000 cryonite.

Thats a lot, it could have been 250.000 cryonite if the prices would have kept being normal or 200.000 cryonite.

But thats ok, nothing wrong with the 500.000 cryonite, still ok to grind. But then we have the defender, for a full 1 Million CRYONTE!

well, thats a lot. No matter what.

And I think the point of rares should not be to grind your whole life just to afford it.
So what should rares then be? Well, a lucky chance, a bp that might help you for not double to price but for the same price as the best bp, but 10x harder to find.

And please comment so I know what other players think.

Hi m8,

I see your point but the rare ships have always had a fixed price of twice the normal ships. You cannot simply break that rule in Draconis only because you don't like the 1 million figure.

Secondly, please please please please please please remember that rares (BPs or ships) are NOT meant to be possessed or afforded by every player. They would otherwise lose their freaking rarity!

Thirdly, don't overestimate the rares' advantage. If someone is not happy to throw out so much cry, don't do it and you will still be just fine.
Especially on the case of the X-Defender. Having it myself, it really doesn't give me any edge over not having it. In PvP i'd lose a fight with it and in CQ personally I also prefer my Parsec/Dominator.

Just my thinking
Cheers

your whole statement is the oppinion of many.

but problem is that the rarity is in the search, it's the luck by finding it,

but by having to search also 2x more cryonite it becomes a weapon that not many people want.

Also it should be for all systems instead of draconis ^^

Look, i agree that rares should still be rare, but they should be at least in the realm of the possible. I want to be able t say, if i look for a week or two i might find a rare bp and if i grind for a few hours after that il be able to install it.
with the new loot system i can now lengthen those numbers to months and weeks. I dont think i will get more than one or two more rares on my drac sniper because the bps are so hard to find.
I detest games where i look at the top playrs and have to say, NERDS!
I should look at them and say dang i could do that. which, after i finished sol, i did say that.
but now, its ridiculous; i cant get a full rare ship in any system now without months of grinding.
Also, v1, did u notice the bp prices in drac are exactly four times those in sol??
in all other systems they are twice as much as the one below.

Draconis weapons 4x Ships 5x, weapons used to be 5x but we got that down.

Problem is that I just want to be able to get a gold without having to worry about grinding for a 5H with membership. Because thats where this is all about.

Rares are Rares,not Expensive Blueprints That Are Impossible To Find aka EBTAITF

so, I don't want ebtaitf's, I WANT rares!
