higher ships in lower systems

[spocklet]

I know somebody's gonna post about this, so it may as well be me as I've never been afraid to speak my mind (as you know).

Whilst I can understand and appreciate your need to stop higher lvl ships / players helping noobs, or other lower lvl players, I know there's gonna be problems and arguments ahead, if the complaints I've heard so far are anything to go by. This relates to the story mission - same system ships update you installed tonight (24/3/10).

The biggest problem (so far) is that many clans help out their mates with story missions, and can no longer do so using higher level ships / tech. Now they have to have same system equipment, and in many cases they have sold off or stripped the tech from their ships, and can't afford to replace it. Leaving their clan mates without the support they need, and some missions can ONLY be done in squads !!

Sure, I can see how it'll slow down the game, by forcing the players to adapt, and that's where your update is gonna fail. I had a story mission to do tonight - Gaining Entry - and we've already found ways around the new rules so it can be done with help from high level ships. Multiply that across ALL clans, and your update will change nothing, and some clans are far more devious than we are !!

As I say I understand WHY you've done this, but I think it's a backward step that is likely to turn some players away from the game, at a time when you need to keep as many as you can.

Yes , i am just tired of permanent rules changing.....the game become a frustrating one, not a funny one ..... with all those limitations

 

[CapnSanta]

I must agree, there are far too many rules/restrictions when it comes to stories/white missions. It's certainly not fun like it once was, helping lower players with my bigger ships is fun!

There is no real sneaky way to help them just keep them alive until they do the job! Use engy outside of a squad! Simple! Oh wait... Or are you going to make a NEW rule stating we can't help buddies now??

Yes, sarcasm IS intended !!

OK Here's My 2 Cents! Regarding This New Stoopid Rule & Update And I Hope U DEV's R Reading This

So Right We Understand That Ure Trying To Stop Player Boosting?? Fine.. But...

What Ya Have Done Is Spoilt The Game For Many Players Who Are Just Wanting To Get By And See Lots Of Little Green Lines Where It Says MISSION COMPLETE
I Loved The Fact I Could Go Back Into Lower System With Higher Lvl Ship, (Be What It May) And Do My Whites And SM's etc.
And Actually Manage To Finish Them Whereas B4.. My Behind Was Handed To Me Many..Many..Many Times In Same Sys Ship

Especially When I Get Pounded With DS & Paralyzors.. Then I'm Totally Stuffed

So To Recap, Myself I Cant Do Most Missions Like (Antares In Ant Ship) (Gemini In Gem Ship) And So On..
Now I Have No Insentive To Complete Them Although I Was Happy To Before New Rule..& wud Like 2 Again

But U See The New Restriction Has Not Worked! As Sol Pirates Now See A LVL27 Playa In Noob Vega Ship Sat In Orbit Of Mars!

My Suggestion Easy.. Lift Ship Restrictions So We Can Get Back To Enjoying The Game And Help Our New Member Clan M8's Like We Used To
And.. Make Systems Player Rank Dependant, That Way U Wont Get Low Rank Players In Higher Systems Like just Last Week I Saw A LVL17 Playa In Orbit Of Baumer!

Many Pirates In Local Chat Are Upset About This And Some Are Thinkin Of Findin' Another Game To Play.

To Be Honest...New Rule Sucks! And Ruined The Game For Me, I'm Afraid To Say.. I Speak My Mind, I Just Hope SS Listen

Regards & Many Thanks

Does it really matter if a low level player lands on Earth? They wont be able to do anything there really! Not without help. They still must level to get the use of ships and Bps! It will take time and a lot of help from others that can protect them.

Relying on others all the time will wear out as the "others" will get bored going thru the tedious chore of boosting a low player higher. I help Vega noobs get to level 12 from time to time and that gets to be a bit much for e cost.

I see no problem with it and it sure provides a few laughs!

Why not start a competition and see who is the LOWEST rank to land on Earth?? LOL!!

my thoughts exactly...

the rule is ok... u cant handle the new system coz u are used to the easy playing we had before..
thats ur faillure.. see the new rule as a challenge.. what?.. u cant help a player in same level ship?
is that too hard for you? well keep doing it till get the mission done..
if this will shy away ppl it why away the type of ppl that would love to cheat to get ahead..
real gamers will make the effort..

it will not shy normal layers away as they never experienced the easy gameplay we had before.
so if they have no refrence to an easier system why would they walk away unsatisfied.
to them the game is as it is..

ppl should stop treatning with: "im gonna stop investing money if such n so doesnt change" or "this will scare new players away"
these are all forms of blackmail u try to use to get ur way..
nobody is charmed by blackmail n then compelled to give in to the demands.

i'm sorry.. but if u cant handle it then u soft.. we all high levels here and we gonna complain that missions are to difficult to finish with this new system? welll maybe if u didnt had all the high level help in the time u was a low level and doing those mission u could handle the pressure..
the game has been way to easy before.. now they added more difficulty and u gonna complain?
see it as a challenge.. a lot of ppl claim to best player etc etc.. well use ur skill instead of hanging in orbit all day asking everybody to pvp.

and yeah now 1 high level cant help where intended to have a full squad.. thats only good..
we all have been spoiled in the past.. things were way to easy..

hustle up and beat SS system by skill and inventivity..

Yes we are looking into this and it may change.

i dont think there should be a lvl cap on sm or white mission but there should be a cap on system tech and a cap on the lvl u need to be to get into the next system, so no matter how fast u do ur sm u still got to grind loads to get to the lvl to enter the next system and fit the bps

 

[BucaneerBill]

Don't change what lvl you have got to be to get into a new system...theirs enough rules now

 

[ZeribreX]

How about just scrap the tech restriction on the missions and make it like this kinda format:

Antares entry level : 13
Gemini entry level : 20
Mizar entry level : 30
Sol entry level : 40

This will give people a chance to get up to that rank to get all the best BPs from the previous system

And will stop former-cheaters getting to sol at rank 20

 

[retro]

agree

 

[Adrana]

Rank 40 for enter in SOL is far to low.
A player at Rank 40 would depend on others players help the whole time.
Rank 45 for SOL is more appropriated.

 

[lance]

i would of gone with

Anteres: Rank 18

Gemini: Rank 25

Mizar: Rank 35

Sol: Rank 45

Because to be honest, if your in a high system with a low lvl ship, then ur a bit stuffed. So it makes sense if you are only able to get to the next system if you are a high enough level to get the ship there.

Pbhuh: Rank 39 in Sol, now 42
Missions Mizar almost self done
Sol? Easy, if you only shoot lvl 45.
First story done with another lvl 40

 

[defacto]

I agree. I cna easily do some stories on mars with mizar and ff items, and i cna easily survive to the pit.

 

[Delloda]

The reason why this won't work is that player's can still be powered to the correct level in each system before they move on to the next. It would slow them down by a few hours at best.

Why not make system max ships?

In vega, you can land with a Antares. Gemini is too big. This is even handy against helpers outside a mission.
But in squads, you can only be in vega ships.

In antares, you can land with a Gemini, but in Squad only in Antares.
In Gemini same.

I don't care on Mizar. If you are there, you can just ask for help.

im gonna have my say on this too as so many feel that they should i can say i agree with every point being made but i do on the other hand agree that too many clans (not all) are rushing new members through there story missions in order to become better prepared for cqs and such.
i mean whats with a light transport rank 25 sitting in orbit of mars how did that happen it makes a mockery
of all us players who spent great amounts of time getting to sol


I SAY enough with the stupid rules that are forcing us to look at pirate galaxy in a new light we loved this game as it was and now it seems theres loads of change some for the better and most for the worst
