Lets hope there are big changes to come in the next week to sirius, now that we have all had our points of view taken on board by the powers that be (we hope)any changes made will tell us if they are taking note of our opinions needed to the sirius system and the jump ship.
From a very very hope full player.
My regards to every one on the forum for exspressing there opnions in a clean and direct mannor.

If I am forced to play in a squad for blue print fragments.... Why are the fragments not awarded to all the members of a squad?
Yeah, I know everyone will say its because SS wants to make money or slow you down... forget that for a second.
Basically we are forced to spend hours of time looking for blue prints that we don't want or need - but our squad mate does. It's only fair - if they spent five hours helping me - I spend five hours helping them.
Let the developers be just as fair to the players as we are to each other.

Oh i really like that idea."All members in sq recieve the same bp" Anyway something similar is in for crystals already for a sq, think alot of people like this and please SS don't raise the amounts of bp's needed then to much when you maybe implement this idea. Also the map is shared now, so why not the bp's?

Looks to me like sirius went down well with you guys ^^
But I have to wonder, is this deliberate? Obviously SS are branching out and focusing on their other (somewhat rubbish, I have to add) games. Is it really so surprising that they are putting so many nails in the coffin that there's more nails then wood? I honestly think this game wont last another 6 months; I may be wrong, but it is certainly heading that way.
I think what may be needed is to calm down, sit back, and just accept the inevitable. They ruined the game for me a while ago with the PM change, I haven't been playing consistently since. The game is just a husk that is repeatedly reanimated by SS to draw in money. It wont even be any good at that if this continues. You guys must have realised by now that complaining does not work, I find it bemusing that you still have the stamina to do so.
See you all in a better game.
Cheers, Lance.

lance i not complete aggree with you point on pm mode (some like it some not), but they could have worked out better. The other thing what you saying is completly right: seems they put all effort in their other games, from the moment they start with those games none happened here. I think they thougth the game could be running on like a cash cow with some good gm's in ( and those gm's are , for now they seem to be the only persons to keep the game on).
If you look at sirius all graphics are reused (where are that new stunning changes like we had with sol system), all forums are complaining about the same issue, SS should have changed that in last update.
I'm a bit desperate but it seems you right lance
Still i'm hoping they won't give up this game.

It's hilarious how people keep comming back to Draconis and just complain in chat.
Indeed SS don't listen obviously. Well there is no need to be in there.
We will see who gives in first. Splitscreen or the players that are still there.
Updates bring no changes from what i heard.
So still no point going there for rubbish bleuprints (or parts of it), waste E / gravs / gold for a very boring gameplay > 'press 1 for 40 seconds till it dies and then the next'.
Have fun.

In my reflections about the current situation about the new Sirius method of play (Clan only), it dawned on me that there now needs to be a game warning at the very start when you begin a new pilot.
Let me explain.
The systems from Vega to Draconis operate on a very similar basis, that being you have one or more stable bases to return from once you are podded in that system. Thus players become accustomed to this particular format.
Sirius on the other hand has an added feature so far removed from the "normal basis" that it is causing many player upset! And this is for players who have been waiting for Sirius for months! Imagine how the new players coming up through the systems will react also? Same actually.
So what I suggest is this, to have a WARNING to new players that the first 6 systems work off of a certain basis but Sirius works from a TOTALLY different one and to EXPLAIN how it is different!And most importantly WHAT is needed to keep the Junkship going! This way players will NOT be so shocked and upset once they get there! They will have been warned and will expect it.
Personally I do not like the way the Junkship dies nor do I like the Clan only focus to get anywhere significant. It discriminates against so many players.
However, if this is the way the developers wish to push the game then I guess there is nothing any of us can do about it. We either accept and keep going or leave. If I knew this is how it would've been from the beginning I would have not continued playing. Now that I have invested so much time and money into my pilot I will watch this space to see how things evolve, but I sure as heck will not be wasting money on stupid gravitons nor much else any more!
Most players only want the new systems for the new ships and new tech - its as simple as that! Once it becomes infeasible to obtain it the way they are used to doing , then they will stop. Once this state is reached your whole game will collapse. You can't rely on continuing numbers of people joining the game and spending money to offset those leaving who did spend money. It is always better to retain those who do spend as any new people who do this will add to the income.
Sure Sirius will have an initial boost in funds because it is new (like all systems), and things need to be tried out etc.. but there will come a time when players "wake up" and see that buying gravitons is really just a waste of money... and the next thing they will realise is how they have wasted so much of their time also!
Please consider what you have done to the game play!

All things have a beginning and an end. Sooner or later.
Maybe no alternative then to leave this game behind or now and then hop in to see what it has become, if the game still exists in a few months.
But all of us can leave their experiences om review sites. There are a lot of those too.

I think that we need some real info about sirius.
1.someone told me that you have to do missions on 4 planets before ancient planet is open.
someone told me that its all about getting so far away from the wormhole as you can then ancient will open.
what is it???
2. when you unlocked ancient, will it disappear again when jumpship is destroyed??
if thats the case then no players will stay in sirius for sure, it cost to much money.
i like PG and i am spending 150$ every month , but i will not spend 100$ more just to play in sirius and getting grav, then i will rather quit this game even if i think its the best game i have ever played...

Did this someone do these missions on 4 planets ?, people have to be careful about "myths" in this game they seem to be coming out of the woodwork these days.
People are stating as facts something no one has done before (but a buddy of a buddy did) hersay and rumors will just ruin the game when we are aiming for somethin that may or may not be there at all.

Just don't go. Probably some clan will try it long enough to find out what needs to be done. Or they will tell us in some storyline.
But before there is any proof of a considerably better Bleuprint that can be found there, one way or the other, it's no point at all to waste time / resources on this system.
So far SS provided with 'extra armour' at the expense off 675k cryo (for a parsec class) and claim the Bleu BP's are now of a higher level.
And they claim the armour off mantis is lower now, BUT some will do more damage.
Fact : the extra armour is expensive and on a parsec class ship no progress
Fact : the BP's found so far are NOT BETTER then draconis stuff
Fact : i see in public chat and in the forum no one claiming there is improvement, so far
Conclusion : It's not worth going there.
Result : No extra money spend on E or gravi's.
Solution : Update and bring some real changes in balance.

im not an admiral but i have been playing this game for over 2 years, dont you think limiting feed back just to admirals is bad as this is only getting feed back off 2% of the players in the game?, there is lots of feedback in the sirius posts that adrana has run just look in there and you will get all the feed back and new ideas you will need
I don't doubt for a second that SS will eventually make all the changes necessary to make the game tolerable in an effort to keep the players. Jumpships just have to be made to last longer ...period. There is no other way for ppl to play sirius as it's just not useable the way it is now.
The problem, and what is most disappointing about the situation is that they won't do the things they can to make the game great ....and it wouldn't take much.I've seen so many great ideas on these forums and so much honest feedback that has gone ignored.
For example, we all hate the multi-bp drop new loot system but somehow accept it because it's how they sell bp boosters? c'mon I bought bp boosters before the new loot system just as often as I did with it. The only difference is that the game is less fun with the new system. Or how about if we had the ability to dismount tech items from ships in the hangar and place them on other ships? ...(that's not too outlandish) How much better would that be? How about a clanfund that we could donate to and pay out from? Practically every game has that. I know, people would argue that players could bank their cryo ...but why do we have to lose cryo when we pod in the first place? Nobody likes that but we somehow accept it as the way they need to sell cryo boosters (which I would still buy) and vault.
Now let me ask you, how much new interest would be fostered through making changes like this? The revenue earned from individual players may be less but there would probably be more players. More players willing to pay because it would be more FUN.
So, SS while you're trying to make just enough concessions to get us all back into Sirius and tolerating it consider doing that extra little bit to actually make it FUN. I personally believe one of the reasons small changes in this game are often met with hostility is because the game is out of balance in a bad way that requires too much work for too little reward and often takes more than it gives. We're constantly teetering on the edge of what is acceptable and what is too much work to keep us interested.
Here is more on how I believe the game could be improved upon

In our clan we are tryin to get to the 'outer rings'.
I am only there to give as much support to my clanfriends as possible. The BP's are useless, the droprate of BP's is plain annoying in a group of people.
And, the gameplay .... it's beyond stupid. For hours shooting the same stuff, no surprise what will drop, it's every time the same. And the best part. There is so many people, in the 1 or 2 days, only a very few will finish the BP anyway.
Oh and the big ships.They will pod you numerous times.Yes we killed some. Yesterday, they didn't drop anything. Al this pointless shooting for nothing time after time.
It is simply BORING.
On top of that, developers think it's funny to make it just a little more anoying by changing the Defender ship. Now it cannot heal itself annymore under the rep field turret.
You get a ship, then it get's altered in a bad way.
As I said, I am happy when we reach the outer planets and can draw final conclusion on this extremely stupid system. Boring + Disapointing > not worth playing.

There are Pages, and repeated posts of absolutely same complains by you Defcon, if you don't have anything new to say, I am forced to read back your posts and remind you of what double posting means.
These are becoming huge spam by you, or are you doing post count?
