Parsec messed up.

[MOKER]

Hi there

I want to know why Parsec ships are made useless over night by making it a r85 ship. Without Ab its rubbish. Some ppl waited with buying a r50 ship till Sirius came out. We invested 3.8 million Cry for a ship we cant use anymore after the update. If this was planned long time ago you (SS) had to warn ppl for that...i am sure some wouldnt have bought the r50 yet.

What we get now is Sirius pilots with parsec ships and no Draco ships coz they sold it. No possibilities to help clanm8s at Draco anymore with story missions..not even give outside help coz the AB is not working and repair at 75% (try to survive Hive with that). I know some of u will say dont whine and buy a Draco ship again…well grind another 886k Cry is not why we bought a parsec. We wanted that “ultimate”ship to be stronger and not to find out to be useless. All that Cry we shoot is supposed to be invested in that r50 ship not in another weaker ship.

This update is bad for the game…a lot of ppl will get stuck at Draco sms.

Atleast give the ships some kind of speed with 1st Sirius ring bps. How the .. can we survive the outer rings without an Ab..u tell me?

even with the 2nd ring ab, it still doesnt move, how do they expect us to get the 5th ring ancient ab and rep if we cant survive there not being able to run, and dieing every other second cuz my rep bairly heals me full when i have half my hp still...

 

[james bond]

Good point. Most of the update was very usefull, its just the parsec pilots will have alot of problems with survining and shooting for the AB that works. the repair is ok because its even for all, but the ab should be done something with.

Just my opinion..

 

[Astraeus]

parsec is initially the best mizar ship and also can be used for mizar story misions each update levels the ship into the next system ships mizar-> sol -> sol advanced -> draconis -> sirius

 

[Mered4]

My question is, why did you sell your draconis ship when you KNEW the parsec would be upgraded? Seriously, this has happened to the parsec every other new release why expect it to be different now? hmm?
I don't see any veterans whining about this, so i guess they made the right decision to not sell their Draconis ships.
sigh.
Come on people stop blaming others for your problems, thats the reason some changes have gone into effect that are highly ridiculed ingame (like the bp system). Do you REALLY want this Sirius update to be repealed?
Careful what you wish for ^^ ^^
Happy Hunting.

My answer is i didnt sell my draco ships. And yes i know how this works with new systems. But as they said Sirius is an extension of Draconis..not a new system. Now suddenly its a new system.
I asked why the ship is made useless now coz of no working AB. Why is the repair working at 75% (fair) and the AB is 0%? Why now and not 1 month ago when Sirius came out. I know players who saved up Cry and bought a parsec in the meantime coz nothing was wrong with it.
Sigh back to u/happy hunting

You so sure?
Check this:

(idk do they have changed this thing or not, but that topic clearly says parsecs cant be used for missions on lower systems)

This issue is in Current Discussion with Devs. Will advise when Issue is resolved

now it 16 dec 2011 and still not fix so you be wait a life time for it

 

[predo]

@MrDarkman, i made that topic in september i think and i am sure it hasn't changed.

@Astraeus, i informed you of that issue in a forum message in august/september.

So my question is to someone with methanoid armour on their parsec. Can you do draconis sm's?
Or hasn't the parsec been made a sirius ship yet.

 

[Adrana]

Yes you are right, Parsec has not been able to be used for lower systems ever, after the upgrades on SOL.

Parsec has been disabled for each lower system, no matter what Armor & Items it has installed.
It has been tested by players with lower tech on higher system missions, and doesn't work.

It would work, if it hadn't been classified as higher level ship with each new system.

 

[InvisibleNinja]

Well I would like to know why it is that it can't be in the coding.

Obviously they can restrict tech, why not restrict armor as well? I know I'm not a developer, but it sounds easy

Bulkwork = Mizar = so it can do/have Mizar missions/tech

Thermograde/Deluvian = sol = so it can do/have sol missions/tech

Methanoid = Draconis = so it can do/have Draconis missions/tech

Ancient = Sirius = so it can do/have Sirius missions/tech

It makes no sense that the Draconis AB worked on a meth armor parsec, but now.. The exact same ship/tech now doesn't work?.. Seams a tad retarded..

As for someone's question about a 50 ship with meth armor doing a drac sm.. I will have a clan m8 try it out & let you know what he finds out.

 

[Silver_Bullet_GhOsT]

ok here is my deal on the subject...

When Sirius came out... Those with Parsecs and Dominators were doing ok. But wait here comes the new update...Surprise... Your Drac ab doesnt work in Sirius no more. So we decide to put on a sirius type ab.. the oolyte afterburner..... oh but wait.... it isnt no better than the drac.... another surprise.

So where are we now...

1- if you use your parsec.... Dominator which ever. Your dead cause you cant get away from the mantis. The mantis dont give up chasing you. They just keep following you cause you cant ab away.

2 Now you can use your drac ship with methonoid armor...now by doing this you have to adjust your drac ship with sirius tech... that means you cant do drac cq's nor drac missions unless you have the cryo to change tech each time. Which no one wants to do.

3 but another drac ship and do sirius.... but still since the Mantis are NOW stronger in Sirius... survival is 50/50.... not alot of fun spending time in a pod in sirius even with 5 in a squad.


Missions in Sirius are a joke.... 1 mission in ring 2 called ancient defenders now have orb strikes. Theres like 5 orb strikes at time and a instant pod if in range.... but if your in a drac ship its very difficult since the r50's which are now r85 cant move without a ab....we spent over 100k e per player in the squad trying to do the mission... but most of the problems were the towers kept respawning.... the more time it took us to kill the towers the more npc ships that showed up.... but alot of people are stuck on this one planet due to the missions.....

escort extractor is a nother example.... When you land at LZ theres hardly any npc's in the area, and for what npc's that are there are pretty easy to kill with a squad.... But when you go back to orbit to start the mission and come back down.... all of a sudden the npc's are all over the place... while your fighting the npc's 3 ships come down and lands on the extractor...trying to get to it is impossible in a Dominator or a Parsec cause you got no ab to get there to help..... You cant keep going cause the npc's follow you no matter what you do....

We sent in a ticket but its been 4 days since we heard anything from the devs or in the tech department. Now we are told nothing will be done until the next wednesday.... but whats funny is the planet dies in 2 days.... so the 4 ships stuck at this planet until we figure something out.

But thanks SS and Devs for ruining our fun....oh well Happy Holiday....

First off, Adrana has posted everywhere telling people to stay on topic. Yet you don't.

The 50 ships are very wonderful in sirius, even without an ab. My brother sits in orbit with his parsec and then waits until sq lead is ready to kill something, lands and kills it, then orbits. It's very simple. Made even easier due to the new tech.

In my opinion. The parsec isn't messed up at all. If anything its updated to our advantage. Take your dominator or parsec and run into a level73 stun enemy, no stun. It doesn't even phase the 50 ships. This can be VERY useful when in a squad of 5 trying to take down a big commander

So it just depends on how you look at it.. They actually made the 50 ships better.

 

[MOKER]

Still its not clear for me (maybe im just stupid)..for what ships are the AB's in Sirius made?

Cant be Draco ships...Draco AB works fine.

So please tell me when/what AB is going to work on Parsec class ships?

 

[MrsLink]

I still can't find any answer about what bp i need to get my parsec moving again.

Is 2nd ring bp after update doing anything? Or was the update not for the ancient armored parsec?

Happy X-mas

[Volkov]

not only that parsecs have huge penalty on their afterburner when equipped with ancient armor but also the drop (bps and cryo) is severely reduced when using parsec ships.
simply put, parsecs are garbage now. well till you get clay ab and rep droid forget about using them cause it will bring you a lot of frustration:

Example: i used parsec (fully rared with draco tech) with ancient armor (which is also a joke) and here what happens on 2nd ring:
two phoneix ships come and shoot me down. that "ancient" armor which cost uber 675k cryonite is worthless junk. so i sold gear from parsec and bought methanoid armor on defender.
with defender i solo phoneix, storm, arrow, dominator, terrorizer, crab and that stun ship on 3rd ring.

conclusion: parsec ships will do you no good till you get clay afterburner (or better), clay RD (or better) and better guns so you can kill enemies faster. draconis rares are junk in sirius on all ships but defender - period. defender is THE only ship capable of dealing with mantis with drac tech.

sirius is unbalanced, meaningless, frustrating and stupid system.

Pirate Galaxy used to be a good game, then it took an arrow in the knee.

 

[CometChaser]

Change logs clearly state that the 50 ships have been remade so that armor determines what system ship it is
I personally have not had an issue with my construc, just wait for a sqd lead to get to spot, land, and move from there. Works great, and has really good HP to boot

 

[blut]

WHY do ppl complain about parsec, its fine, it happened in mizar(even no ab available for it), sol and draco, now its again in sirius that ab doesnt work... thats soo old news ... and btw im fine in a construc without ab and i even dont have other ships equipped to fly them in sirius, all u need is teamwork

 

[ALINE15]

True MOKER no ab where to go and pod and loose lots of cryolite maybe loose more cryonite then even buying the thing ppl r gonna leave game
