Power based system ships and tech

[Quarter]

today each system has its ships and system tech whether rare or sirius. Any tech from any system can be placed on any ship.

What if the system ships were designed to provide a specified amount of energy to power the tech that is installed? Meaning, vega ships have a power level, Antares a higher power level, gemini ships a higher power level, etc.
The power rating of the ships would be adequate to equip the rare and sirius tech for that system and operate it at 100%.

Placing higher tech on a lower system ship would then be decreased in power. Example: Vega Storm with Antares rockets, the Antares Rockets would not be fully powered and only do a fraction of the damage they would do if equipped on an Antares ship.

This would help with a couple of scenarios.

1. Eliminate higher level players from getting into a vega ship with Sirius blasters and killing unknowing noobs.
2. Provide incentive to build system ships for all systems including the 35 (aka parsec class). The 35 class ship with system armour would be powered for the system/type armour installed.

Wouldn't this also mean that people with draconis ships won't be able to use sirius tech to its full potential?

 

[Quarter]

Yes, if you have sirius tech on a draconis ship you would only get a fraction if any increase from putting Sirius tech on a Draconis ship.

This would reward the players that grind to build parsec and system class ships. It would also push the players with sub system ships and tech to upgrade their ships to take advantage of the higher level tech.

True. But it would also be a pain for clans with no parsec class ships in sirius lol ^^

Yes, if you have sirius tech on a draconis ship you would only get a fraction if any increase from putting Sirius tech on a Draconis ship.

This would reward the players that grind to build parsec and system class ships. It would also push the players with sub system ships and tech to upgrade their ships to take advantage of the higher level tech.

You realize that many players are not actively playing 24/7, and not all have all time in the world to play, and only use their playtime for grinding, cause then Draconis ships would not even be helpful for clans in clan missions on Sirius, cause they would have lack of firepower, and they would not be able to survive.

Many players are being very helpful for clans, specially smaller clans, in Sirius when they install Sirus tech in their Draconis ships.
You also realize what would happen with a Defender, and even with the rare engii on Sirius, they would not have full power with your idea, if they install the Sirus highest tech, any other tech used on Sirius would not help any players who has Parsecs or Sirius ships, nor any ship with Sirius tech.

Have you thought of that, you do like engiis in Sirius helping you out in cm's and to keep you alive, don't you?

I vote deep down such idea!

So in short, you are against rewarding players that do grind to have the best tech, the best ships, that do have the time to play the game at a higher level ?

You are against helping players grind cryo to build better ships? There are several boosters that can help here if a player needs to be on the fast track.

If i recall, I believe that the constructor is an engineer?? Also, i believe the new Sirius 85 ships are equipped with engineer parts depending on the ship type?

As for Drac ships being useful in sirius, thtas what all of us came into the system with and many players are still using them with Drac tech, every gun helps when fighting the NPC.

Also, from a SS perspective and the new drones that are coming, its an opportunity to make available drones for power boost or even an opportunity a power booster.


Anyway just a few more thoughts that i didn't think through or perhaps didn't realize.

Thanks for the feedback.

This is very true and i hope that splitscreen doesn't decide to kill the game by implementing this idea.
