Ship Armor Adjustments #03

[senkitan]

ship armor upgrade to match Tau Ceti, what about tech then? Did you ever tried f.e. put vega afterburner and rep droid on antares ship? Equiping tech form lesser star system (from sirius) on Tau Ceti ship (higher system?) will result in disaster===

So basically with the adjustment on armor means anyone who has any ancient ships are totally screwed... this is not a good thing because like me, many of us have regular ancient ships like the Myst,punisher to name a few... So all the grinding for cryonite we all did was for nothing... thanks alot.. I am one very dissatisfied pilot!!

Well same story, you didn't complain when you need to buy a draconis ship and leave the Sol one after you've done 180k of cryo to mount it, also is easier to mount a Siri ship doing parasites on Venar (min 3k each mission / 250k/day without memberships) than mounting a Sol ship killing earth harvests with a Sol ship..

Anyways..

I can not give you details on that now, but we will ensure that the ancient tech is needed to progress in Tau Ceti. But that's a topic for the upcoming dev shack. Same for the PVP stuff.

Best Regards.

no the Ancient Ships are not useless. and wont be useless. Especially the Myst and Punisher. but they cost 1.6 million. Now take into account that Parsec ships cost 3.6 million for full Sirius Armor and techs. So how is it fair that the people with Mysts and Punishers are better off than the people who have a ship that is easily twice as expensive. They are making the Parsec-class worth the price.

...
[*]Parsecs equipped with Tau Ceti armor become stronger than Ancient ships.
[*]Ship levels are adjusted based on installed armor to better indicate ship strength.
[*]Methanoid armor stats are increased for Draconis ships together with the ship level.

What will be the "level" for Tau Ceti armor and what for Methanoid?
What will happen to ships upgraded before the update? (including Thermograde and Deluvian)

[*]Armors gain the ability to be upgraded and downgraded after they have been purchased.

The comunity already guessed some ways to do this:

• By some kind of switch. It means some extra code need to be added, with bugs coming...
• By automatic refunding, just like Vega ships for CQs/Phobos/Collossus. This can be a good approach if armor is refunded at 100%, and players can use it to "move" the armor to other ships as downgrading a Domi to upgrade a BG, per example...

[*]Include the armor price in the total selling price when selling an armor-equipped ship.[/list]

This is an alternative to get refund if a system like the one pointed in a) is implemented.

Art is progressing very well for Pirate Galaxy, and especially the new Tau Ceti ships are a sight to behold! We may show off a few screenshots soon

If ancient ships are Tau Ceti entry ships, will the new ships available at end of Tau Ceti?

Please let us know what you think of the proposed changes for the next update. We are looking forward to any thoughts you would want to share on this!

Thanks in advance.

In Tau Ceti, if ancient ships are entry for Tau ceti, there are more planets so is it a good idea if you can use Tau Ceti ships to in the planet after venar because it gets harder. Some enemies are easy and some are extremely brutal.

Hallo, ich möchte über den Fortschritt im Spiel nach ca. 2 Jahren zu gratulieren.
Ich bin gekommen, über die Eroberung Modus zu sprechen, wie es seit Jahren das Gameplay in den Eroberungen geändert wurde sowohl über seinen Lohn als die notwendige Existenz der Eroberung Schiff zu sprechen. Da es modifiziert wurde, um den Bonus zu zurückkehren Cryonite würde , um das Gameplay zu einem Hit und eine Wiederbelebung sein .
Auch über die Art der Bezahlung in Lateinamerika durch die Zelle sprechen , Werbung für die Spiel und Angebote auf Spiel-Produkte ( Schöpfer von Paketen , Taschen oder Combos ) wöchentlich
Das ist nicht nur PVP Colussus Platz für alle Spieler auf dem Server.

Ive read about the Draconis ships with Methanoid armor will be Sirius relevant. That is a serious issue. Come on. Pirate Galaxy is a campaign story driven game. Last i checked. The Methanoids belongs to Draconis. Methanoid armor sounds itself should be allowed in the Draconis System.

 

[Gladiator]

methanoid armor was available since sirius is open. where is your problem? lol

 

[Green]

Die Methanoiden Rüstung kam nicht zu release von Sirius heraus diese kam erst später.
Die einzigsten Schiffe mit höherer Rüstung waren die alten AnIn Prototypen.

Yeah the armor was available in sirius. But the (methanoids) is in Draconis.

C'est pour moi que tu dit cela ? si c'est le cas, je pense que tu n'as pas compris mon message...

C'est une question que je pose et non une affirmation..

Ah j'ai peut être lu un peu vite alors, désolé

 

[theoldman]

This is long overdue. older players who spent lots of cryonite getting the parsecs were losing out when the cheaper ancient ships came into play. Perhaps now some of the players who want the strongest ship / tech will have to work for it like we used to have to do

 

[-BoH-]

In the sirius system adjustments, you should make new types of enemies called Ravens. They fly raven dynamic ships and even ships from the lost hangar.

 

[theoldman]

This all sounds great as long as all Sirius missions etc can still be done with parsec ships who have fitted TC armour. otherwise they will have been a waste of cry.

Great to see that more players are taking the chance to join in the discussion and provide feedback even when they are not native english speakers. Awesome!

We have now refined some of the initial design ideas bit more:

- The Tau Ceti armor for the parsec will be called "Ancient Armor" since naming it Tau Ceti could be misleading. Because this Armor will make the parsecs stronger than the ancient ships and therefore fully qualify as entry level ships for Tau Ceti. Parsecs will be able to play at full extend in Sirius with that armor installed, like you can play with the ancient ships, fully armored.

- We will replace the flexible armor up and downgrade idea with a more suitable feature. Players will be able to create ship configurations where: Items, drones, armor, cortex parts, ship skin/colors can be individually equipped. With that you can create builds for your parsec for each system without to repurchase the ship itself. This would also be suitable for other ships as well to build different sets based on the variable items that can be found in sirius for each system.

Keep your feedback rolling

Sorry for my english

Questions

A) Ancient Armor strongest:

- this does not solve the problem of ships parsec in draconis. A ship 70 with metanoide armor has more armor than a ship 35 with 3 shields [META-01 (metanoide) 7694 rHP > AnIn-1 Dominator (3) 5770 rHP]
- May be made missions in sirius planets? Kill Giza?
- It will cost Cryonite this change?

B) Profiles ships:

- Which is saved in those prefiles?
components
armor (?)
drones
Cortex
paintings
- This means you can have one dominator with sirius ancient blaster and one with ancient blaster rapid in the same "Chassis"?, for exmple.
- Cost Cryonite profile change?
- Where you can change the profile? (Planet, hangar, can not in combat mode)
- Maximum number of profiles?
- Then the parsec ships will not be able to remove the armor?
- All the ships have profiles or only parsec?

When maKe this change?
