Question about the energy Cap...

[CapnSanta]

Can a game developer please explain to me why we have an energy cap based on our rank?

 

[Enz0f0rcE]

It was gamigo's idea, but I think that the energy cap should be increased significantly. Without a membership you can't play for 5 minutes long, because you need to refill on E. Can they please double your non-membership e cap? Pleeease?

yh the e cap is too low ,
u cant even do some sm without refillin middle of a sm, especially when u fight against lord fam doom
my cap is 6.3k now and i was out of e when it had 1 bar damage so had to reload middle of the mssn...


i missed the fun of doin the mssn , its kinda annoyin...

and i know ss have to earn money somehow but the e cap is really low, maybe increase the ecap a bit more?

 

[defacto]

And add energy wells!

And it was better before when with a standard membership you could hold +-22k e
It was much more fun! you could play CQ or do a mission without have to refill in the middle

I think my point is being over looked. What I would like is an explaination as to WHY we even HAVE an energy cap! What's the point? It's really just unnecessary! There is no limit if you BUY energy, so WHY is there a limit if you want to go to the bother of collecting it?? Makes NO sense to me!

 

[Enz0f0rcE]

Well, it makes people buy E more quickly with a cap, but this cap is too much. People can't even complete certain missions with it, which just doesn't make sense.

 

[defacto]

So true... And add energy wells! ^^

 

[3lingon]

like a gas station? park your ship for 30 min and when you come back you have 30 k e :mrorange:

 

[defacto]

Yes basically like that.

Edit: It's simple. If you count e gained/second, energy orbs are better. However, the wells never end. You can be 50 hooked up onto it.

I still don't fully understand this?

On another note I agree I had to kill repogrubs on earth l for a white mission then I ran out of e befor I even got to 33% into the mission and I was lucky to finish the mission with 20 secs left with a full e charge at 6.3k

 

[defacto]

I'll explain it again. E wells are like blue fountains. They have fixed locations, they never de-spawn and never re-spawn. When using your collector on it, you will gain e slowly. Good when there is 20 at the same efield.

 

[cocolino.vpn83]

maybe is better a mixt with e wells and e cells
and yeah i realy dont understand why we have the e cap base on the rank and not the ship and is just too small beacsuse its end in 10max

 

[CapnSanta]

Still no Offical response???? Why not? Is it that hard explain???

 

[DaRK_XePHoN]

I think that would be an improvment having energy wells, but they must charge energy slower than people who charge with orbs (more comfortable but slower), this way energy orbs still have sense.

Also think energy wells must stop charging when max capacity is reached or ... when max capacity is reached can continue charging but consuming gold from account (over limit is as you buy energy).

PD. Sorry for my english i do the best i can.

Greetz!

I think that E wells idea is great.. I dont have the answer to the cap thing i play myself and pick alot of E myself..Personaly i really want a well thing that i could dock my ship to and let it fill up as i stood there waiting.. hehe..

Maybe with the wells, Make them big green e balls, And they dont go away when you have been collecting on it for ages. The only time it goes away is when its been there for awhile and dissappears like the normal e balls do, as what we would call,expire

Then when they go another comes in its place etc, Maybe place these wells in bases of CQs, as to hold onto something instead of getting us dizzy going in circles

 

[defacto]

I think of a E-Well as a blue swirly thing... And maybe have them move slowly and be rather rare?
So you can't just come back to them... or maybe they just de-spawn after a while nad appears somewhere else.

not that i agree or dissagree but...


isnt the e-well thing ur suggesting a bit like energy generator thats included in the memberships?
so if u lock on to a well whats the use of the generator in the memberships?

just some things that come to mind..

Yes is like the energy generator, but e-well must not recharge over ship capacity and must be quite faster than energy generator (i only experiencied the normal membership and it's a slow recharge ).

Greetz!
