New professions anyone?

[invictus]

So far in the game, this has been my usual story in this game

• Get e
• Kill some mantis
• get more e
• Kill more mantis
• Pod a DS on the way
• Get podded while afk
• Go kill more mantis

In short, so far, all the thing that players have been limited to is kill mantis. Thats what the story missions are all about and same as standard. Except in story missions, you could kill mantis and get to new star systems, and then what do you do? kill MORE mantis. Now there might be many reason why we kill mantis, maybe for rares, regular bps, cry, just for fun, etc. But at one point, if you think about it, this is what the game has basically been about and its getting boring.
Splitscreen needs to add more professions, like mining and i got a suggestion for a perfect place for them -> Conquest planets, they are useless, and CQs are even more worthless considering how much CQ ships cost and the outcome of a victorious conquest. I would be happy if Splitscreen allowed us to have some harvester ships, that allowed us to mine cry. There are many games that i have played that give players the ability to mine, and mining can be very peaceful at times.

Who agrees mining should be added as something players can do?

The storyline clearly tells us that the humans havent got the tecnology for it, that is why we have to loot it from mantis.
otherwise crystal would not be a problem in this game, so no my answer is no.
But i see what u mean with proffessions, maybe you can come up with anotherone.

I don't think professions within the game is the answer... Fixing the CQs... THAT'S the answer... nuff said

CQ's are boring, it used to be fun, when the fights were even, but HAMMERS & CO ruined it,YES YOU DID and after that XR-Guards ruined it,

sorry, CQ's are bad, it used to be fun, but not anymore.

Professions could make it fun agian, the boring shooting is bad, the only fun ingame is the storymissions, but there are too less,

I think these skills/professions would make it fun:
* Shooting (normal) into
** Escorter [NEW]
You protect miners and trade ships
** Pirate [NEW]
Kill others pilots and steal their bounty, if you succeed at teh end of the week you get XP and Warscore.
** Bounty Hunter [NEW]
Avenge the ones that died. And turn their bounty into cryonite.
* Mining [NEW]
Get ships to mine cryonite from certain places that glow, then you can get differant types of ores, crystals etc. higher systems have higher types, you can get XP from them, same as shooting mantis.
* Traders [NEW]
Buy resources and sell them on other stations for cryonite.

To tell the truth, in any game I have played before, the implement of professions have caused new bugs and a lot of unbalance to the game.Of course they would be nice, but im not sure if they are the thing this game needs.

A better and more rewarding CQ system would be nice to make the game more fun, or even a new kind of story missions not like the shoot/loot white missions.

nearly no mission is like that anymore,

in vega you have some cool missions, in draconis you have also some cool missions, like kill with a cool tower, or the shepherd missions, (yeah, those enlightment express)

My mistake, I meant white missions.
Yeah some story missions are nice, although too hard to be enjoyed.
