your wrong look at the discription of the parsec, i too have been playing since day one and i can assure you the parsec was not just a trophy ship it had alot more armor/hp back then compained to any other ship in the game and now its been made into a weak joke of a shipAdrana said:The parsec class ship was not portrayed as a "trophy" ship when I joined PG and making it a trophy ship at this point is insulting and disrespectful to the players that were willing to grind, buy boosters, etc for the advantage of the parsec class.
Parsec was a Trophy ship right from the begin, a goal to reach if you were willing to grind for it, in the old days was said Parsec was the Rolls Royce of PG.
Something you were proud to show, what also show how hard work you are able to do.
It was a Trophy, a prestige, and something every owner was proud of.
This is what is was when there was only the Storm as Parsec Class ship, this is what it was in the Golden Days as you put it.
wrong again look how much each of the system armor costs for the parsec and each armor needs you to be a certain rank to buy it so your wrong again there too, and the draconus ships also got a new armor for sirius as well they got the methanoid armorShadow-Stryker said:I dont understand all the complaining going on here about the parsec not being worth the grind. The parsec may cost alot but its also made for Mizar, Sol, Drac and sirius. Thats 4 systems in just one ship, you didnt have to wait to be a current level in order to buy the next system ship you just had to buy the armor. This gave parsec users a big advantage in Drac when it first came out, you didnt have to wait till you were rank 70 or till you completed a current mission. In sirius you didnt have to wait 6-7 months for a r85 ship to drop, so yes the parsec class may not have the best armor anymore but you cant say its completely useless your forgetting all the advantages you had in every perior system. Yes, the cost may seem alot for those just now buying them in sirius since you have to drop 3.5-4mill for it but remember this ship was meant to be bought in mizar and used throughout every system afterwards. You cant compare the parsec as just any other sirius ship because it isnt its a r35, r45, r60, r70 and r85 ship so you cant say Parsec class vs sirius ship, youll have to say parsec class vs mizar, sol, drac and sirius ship.
The parsec isnt really weak, the biggest issue is just how sirius works, the mantis here have a huge jump in HP compares to any other system so you cant expect even a parsec to come out and be able to solo everything up in sirius. In PvPs the issue really isnt the armor but the new weapons the Strong versions of the tech is what makes the parsec seems soo weak. dont forget draconis ships also got a new armor is sirius not just the parsec classes of ships
The parsec has also always been a trophy ship, you payed the extra cost just for the glory of saying yes i sepnd hours killing harvs for an extra 25% more armor. This aspect of the parsec was never hidden all you had to look was at the price. You can buy a 1/2 a million dollor supercar that does 240mph or you could go and buy a 2million dollar supercar that does 268mph. You just payed an extra 1.5 millionjust to have a lil extra speed and just the bragging right to say you have it, its the exact same thing with the parsec.
I can honestly say i didnt need an extra 25% more armor to be successfull in any aspect of the game, All i needed was a normal r70 ship to complete Hive missions , to pod anyone even if i had to face a parsec class player, and be able to compete in sirius with just a r70. I actually love facing other parsec players and being able to defeat them in a r70 ship to show that even someone that doesnt want to spend a large amount of cry can still compete against those players. I enjoy leaving a parsec class in a pod or leaving them with almost no health.Quarter said:this is almost humorous.
Most parsec class ship players are focused on all aspects of the game and not necessarily the ability to go get top tech by any means possible and pod everybody they can before tech and ships outrun them. These players want the power but are unwilling to do the work that it takes to get a Parsec class and be able to fend off lower ships unless in groups.
Anyway, not complaining really, just stating some facts that i see around the changes that have been made.
It would be nice if SS would take care of all players and reward the grinders that are playing the entire game and quit catering to the few that play long enough to get top tech, bully people and move on.
Respectfully
Quarter aka No-1/4(WOW)

Thanks for the catch there, you do need to be r70 for meth. armor. Parsec pilot still dont have to wait to drop the an ancient ship to install the sirius armor, so they still have a big advantage aganist non parsec pilots.vermin said:wrong again look how much each of the system armor costs for the parsec and each armor needs you to be a certain rank to buy it so your wrong again there too, and the draconus ships also got a new armor for sirius as well they got the methanoid armorShadow-Stryker said:I dont understand all the complaining going on here about the parsec not being worth the grind.

no it wasnt i too was there at the begining and it was never classed as a trophy ship back then the words trophy ship was never ever said at all so you must have been the only one to call it thatAdrana said:The parsec class ship was not portrayed as a "trophy" ship when I joined PG and making it a trophy ship at this point is insulting and disrespectful to the players that were willing to grind, buy boosters, etc for the advantage of the parsec class.

Yes, Golden Age of Piracy is gone, but I think it will be returned with new system Tau Ceti. When new ships are introduced, they must be little stronger then Sirius ships, so devs must increase the armor of Parsec class (with increasing the rank to maybe 90), and so Parsec class will be superior then Sirius ships. And I m going to have me Tau Ceti ship so I ll kill you all.Adrana said:[This is what is was when there was only the Storm as Parsec Class ship, this is what it was in the Golden Days as you put it.
