Improvements for Sirius targeted towards new Players.

[Dreadnouhgt]

New players face a big challenge with Sirius. Its RNG.

Rng is never fun if you can't manipulate it in any way. While Sirius was a few Years ago new and exiting, it became tedious and boring. Nowadays, with the new BP Unlock System it can become frustrating. Waiting for the BPs you need to unlock your TC Campaign.

A fix could be to add a "Trader" in the Singularity you can trade in blueprints. My idea would be that you can trade in "not needed" Blueprints for other Blueprints. Let's say you do 10 Gizas and you drop 20 Sirius Ancient Sniperblaster, but for 5 weeks you are looking for the Mine or something else that drops from one of the 3 big bosses. You then collect those 20 or so Blasters and trade them in for the Rocket Blueprint, or let Isaac build them for you. This would reduce the waiting time for the Blueprint. In all Systems you can farm actively every BP you need for your Ship, but not in Sirius.

Oh but you can manipulate it with a booster, or trusting the energy-consuming fraud aka BP Tracker Drone...
But blueprint rotation is not RNG, depending of the last time the blueprint was seen and the drop source of it you can guess when it will be avaliable next time.

The rotation system is annoying, oh you have something else to do like I don't know... work? Too bad, you missed blueprint that you need to finish the game, let's wait another 6 months... Oh for boss it's better indeed, blueprint from boss rotation take like... 1 month... Hope you like to wait...

A fix could be to add a "Trader" in the Singularity you can trade in blueprints.

In any other modern F2P game, these blueprint could be purchased with gold to skip time consuming and frustrating progression and for those who don't have much time to play... And to be fair I don't understand why it's not the case, maybe just booster and membership generated by the big time consumed on Sirius give them more money.

No, a better way would be simply to make this entire system optionnal by not requiring it to access Tau Ceti tech (outiside of golds), it still give good cryo and usefull blueprint for previous system CQ or event...

But ahah, most player who already finished Sirius won't be okay with that anyways.

Bruh, Sirius is fine how it is. In the very first time it was hard to get even the Ancient ship's, but if the ancient ships we're fully ancient equipped they we're so strong back then.

I can say you 1 suggestions to rebirth Sirius again. @Highway adding the 6th ring with 87-91 ancient units. New Ancient Techs e.g Mizar Ancient Orbitalstrike , Sol Ancient Minelayer. Draconis Ancient Scopeshifter and so on. Raise the bar of the Ancient ship's meaning new Armor for the Ancient ships and 2 new Ancient Ships marked as a "X" one. The random drops of the blueprints could be only the Sirius Ancient BPs besides of the new ones.

Some will ask "what about Tau Ceti Ancient?" They already are Ancient, but they look more advanced as they what we know and saw.

This will not only save the game, it will keep pushing low level players through Sirius and then to Oort.

Imagine something like this in the 6th ring, more old ,rusty and gloomy ancient units





Or with the known units on Calon

You're right. A 6th Ring would be legendary. R5 is no longer satisfied with Cryonite.

 

[TunaThePilot]

Yes, I saw that I got negative feedback. But wouldn't Ring 6 be good? It will be much stronger. Quite strong, in fact. I'm sure it will be in the future

Bruh, its not about cryonite. 87 units(boss) doesn't drop as much cryo as the 82 units. Because the HP of these units don't have a big jump, but they do a lot of damage because they shoot more than regular 87 units e.g 3 times with blaster 2 times with rockets etc. All sirius bosses do this. I remember the giza dropped around 55k on Earth or Erebos i don't remember anymore. 82 Giza is around 44k

Ancient Giza 82 has 20.371.560HP
Ancient Giza "Story" 87 has 28.560.000HP not a huge jump, its around 7% - just imagine his Tech too, it is a higher "Sirius Ancient" Tech, 5 level higher. So it is better than Perceptron because of the Ancient Boost on these Techs. It was 13% guess?

I haven't thought about it as much as you have. I think BPs are the least of my worries

Why? The 6th ring is about new ancient bps buddy as i mentioned up above. Sirius once saved the game it could save it again who knows. Imagine they still adding fixes and improvements for cq/otb. Is that reason to purchase gold? Definitely not. If they release playerbased invasions that another case, everyone still wait for that only daddy knows what it is(highway)

Is 6th a good reason to purchase gold? Definitely. If they set it right so every player get the chance to directly collect their sirius bps while the others are collecting the new ancient techs. V,A,G,M,S,D techs should stay in the 5th ring.

I missed the above conversation and focused on your suggestion for Ring 6 Yes, that's a good thing too and as you said, I'm sure Highway has something in mind for that
