i think what bothers most cause the way this sirius system works u WAITED for soo long is based on WAITING.

WAIT till bugs are fixed.
WAIT til u get "some " info on how sirius is played.
WAIT til they add missing content.
WAIT till u have 75k to buy a jumpship.
WAIT til u can get the right planet or maybe right clan.
WAIT til someone is online (even if not from ur clan) so u can form a sq and shoot in sirius
WAIT til its ur turn to b helped by clan to get a ONE BP
(with soo many BP parts and members thts a lot of WAITING)
WAIT some more after u WAITED for so long.
and guess wht i can WAIT some cause im a free player but how long can a paying player WAIT for fun and game?

guess its a WAITING game, lots fun to WAIT.
(some would say u dont nedd to wait do something else , well i think by now WAITING for serious we done and redone the "something else" over and over to exaustion and doubt its attractive anymore)


BUT WAIT i have the solution if i have to WAIT in pg just send me an email telling me when i can log on again and play.ill b WAITING playing something else .lol

Nice one, i am happy to donate 10 k in cryo. That is if it gets me anywhere. But it doesn't. I come on the game and ther might be a few players in the same spot. If i am luck i can shoot with a squad. Tehn you shoot 2 hours and find 2 bp's all of us need them or want them. I cannot do anything on my own. So why on earth should i even be willing to pay this cryo or gold or whatever?
It's pointless.

Have you heard about new rumor? There is a planet in Sirius that have a Gold mine, and there is also a planet that has Gravitron mine. They are forcing innocent humans to do labor, but when you free them in a mission, you can keep the mine. Now, me and my buddy drink a lot that night, so I cant remember but I think he said something about that there is also a way that jumpship cannot be destroyed. You should believe him, he is a famous galaxy pirate.

Yep ,there sure is a way to keep your jump ship from being destroyed. It is called busting out your Credit Card.

with the new armors for r70 ships what was the point in me getting a parsec? now that the r70 ships have methanoid armor the r70 storm is just as strong if not stronger than the methanoid armor parsec, yet there methanoid armor cost 98k cryo for r70 and mine cost me 624k cryo, now iv got to spend another 675k cryo to get the 4th anciant armor thats close to 4 million cryo, i give up with this game, cos with no story line in sirius all this game now is is one massive boring grind

with ancient armor it might be close to 3.4 mill not close to 4 million once, and yes the ancient armor vs meth meta armor, the ancient would win, the meth armor is to weak even a parsec with meth armor would beat a meth meta ship. the higher hp makes the repair droid weaker that means the armor ain't that useful, teehe, total waste of cash

Oh, I remembered that on the PTR before draco, everyone had parsecs Draco-Strenght but repair droid was ...

Much has been said, Much has been done since the Sirius Release 31.10.2011. There is In-Game News posts that if you read them, will point to lots more Information on Sirius.

In my minds eye, I see Sirius as very Interesting, Intriguing & Challenging System that is designed to give hours upon hours of Exciting game Play.

Most of you are not grasping the actual concept of Pirate Galaxy or even look at it from a RL Historical Viewpoint. Back in the early Ages, Pirates were seamen out looking for a more exciting & profitable way of life. Over time thaey banded together to not only increase their fortunes, but came to understand there was strength in Numbers.

Forward to the Future where we now fly in Spaceships. We all started out as Smugglers in the Colonies. Due to our prowess as Smugglers, We got Drafted into the Colonial Forces to battle the Insurgent Mantis. We Made names for ourselves with the Great Feats of Solo Bravery against this scourge & for Fun we all played against each other also.

Then as we advanced toward the Mantis Stronghold, the Hive, We met hordes of Mantis led by Lords like Fam Doom & Gringroc. We could not fight them alone, so we started Banding together in Squads & Clans to fight these Hordes.

Advance to Sirius. Once we finally managed to defeat the Queen Mantis, the Scientists at the Carl Sagan Labs, Discovered from our Efforts. a New Material called Gravitons. One day while experimenting with these Gravs as we call them, a Wormhole was opened in Space. The Scientists were intrigued. With the Whole Artifact of the Ancients finally being pieced together, they realized that the Wormhole may be a Gateway to a New System.

Present Day - We are now Exploring the Star System the Ancients call Sirius. We have found out from tests, that the Whole System is in a Major State of Flux, just as our Home System must have been millions of years ago. Since it is in a High state of flux, we do not yet know how to combat it other than to once again band together as Clans, Fly as Squads & attempt to Explore the Strange New Worlds of Sirius

Now You as Pilots, are the Explorers, the Adventurers, the Ones that will Reap the Fame & Glory & go down in History with Tales for those that come after You. Follow your Instincts, Fly in Squads to get the Most Knowledge, Create Strong Clans to Enable the Squads to do constant Exploring of the Unknown, "Boldly Go Where No Pilot has Gone Before" (quote from 1960s TV Series Star Trek), "OnWard & UpWard" (quote from Voyage of the Dawn Treader - Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis)

I know where you're going with this but I think it's you folks who aren't grasping it here. It's actually quite simple... Most players are attracted to a certain type of game, for the ones here it's the type of game that we found in PG. You've completely changed the game around into something else and thus making it less appealing. Romanticizing the history and lore of pirates is not going to change that.

To be honest, while you see something that delivers hours upon hours of exciting gameplay I see something that delivers hours upon hours of endless farming (the least entertaining aspect of the game.) I have yet to land on a planet with a compelling storyline and just the amount of resources necessary to maintain a jumpship is staggering.

I appreciate the desire to introduce change and keep things interesting but what we have now is far too foreign to be appealing in the same way the rest of the game has.

voluntary teaming differs from mandatory teaming and nostalgic stories.
noone likes a game tht forces them to do something the game needs b to the necessity of the player not the other way around.
example: if i get on a train because its going in the direction i want to go and it turns around mid trip passangers are going to try get off it.
same with this game if i start a game because it has some aspects i like and then changes mid progress into something i dont like so much or at all i will also leave.
thts my logic in the matter

also logic is no matter what u play a game its still kind of a waste of time wouldnt u prefer waste tht time at least having good feelings?!
(u gain nothing for rl u just see a combination of pixels on ur screen thus i cant see no matter how hard i try why someone would make pixels tht upset the player.lol)

Really, really Astraeus for how longer are you going to give is such "nice" words? Don't you, and splitscreen, see, that a lot of players are unhappy with the way this game is going. And there are lots and lots of other games on the internet, and believe me, a lot of them have more fun than PG has atm. So, we don't want any more "nice" words from you, or either splitscreen, but we want fun!, and something that will keep us playing the game. So, use your "imagination" like u did at the start of the game, and show us (the players that have spent a lot of time and effort at this game) that there is still hope in PG. I have played this game from its begining (30.4.2009) and from then till now, lots and lots of players left because this game is no more fun! And most of the players will leave now, when they realize, that with the new "system" sirius, this game has gone nowhere!

i just tested the zp roaster blasters (sirius) vs draconis disaster blasters (draconis) both of us in parsecs we tested hitting mantis and each other and EVERYTIME the zp roaster blaster was weaker (we made sure the tests didnt have any crit shots in them) we also tested an anciant armor parsec vs a methanoid armor parsec both with draconis rare thermo and the difference was shocking, the difference was 1 line of hp (not a full block just 1 little line like this - and you think this is worth 675k cryo? and also the zp roaster blasters needs to be made stronger than the draconis disaster blaster since i now get 9% cryo loss on gazica with the weaker roaster blasters fitted

 

[CapnSanta]

That link does not answer my question. All it does is point to a post in "sirius posts here" where you have simply cut and pasted info from the Home page links about Sirius. They do nothing to explain the REASON why Sirius is CLAN BASED.

I think it is a valid question to ask of the developers to explain simply because it is SO far removed form the normal systems we are accustomed to. I am sure everyone doesn't mind a few changes etc ... for the better one hopes, but clan based seems a bit weak for SO many reason that become more apparent every moment one spends in Sirius.

So I still would like to know the REASON why it is Clan focused.

 

[CapnSanta]

Yes, everyone can romanticise the game anyway they like!

What is comes down to is playability! At the moment the way Sirius is makes it an unfriendly, unfun playability system due to the way in which the game mechanics work. There is far too much focus on collecting resources to keep the ship going long enough to explore the new planets and find the tech we all love to have so much! The Junk Ship (as I call it), is simply a too high maintenance ship! There is TOO much to find for it and that has TOO small effect.

All the fancy wording and descriptions of the pirates of old going boldly into the new realms is a bunch of rubbish if GAME PLAY is no more than a collect this/ collect that DRAG! We all value our time and playing in here consumes a lot of it. So please don't make systems so TIME consuming that they become TOO boring to continue in!

Once you lot go through your 4th or 5th Junk Ship, you will come to see what I am talking about. For right now, you are all excited about the new tech... all well and good, until it becomes a drag to ... to .....start over yet once again.....

That will be the only way...Or like going and hacking the game but thats not that smart....

 

[Silver_Bullet_GhOsT]

I would have to agree with you on this. The Ancient Armor isnt much better then the Methanoid armor.

Same as with the Drac Aggrobomb, for awhile now the agrobomb has been so watered down that the Sniper's orb strike and the Storms rockets are stronger, even in Drac. Even with fire power boosters the agrobomb is still weak.

I wish they would try and make the weapons abit even... Orb strike, rockets and aggrobomb.

Maybe we should be posting this stuff in the other forum so the deves will actually see all this...

 

[willow1973]

i have been here since the start of pg ss why do we have to buy a jump ship and loose it so quickly
and when we do we have to start again. The mantis are a joke they are tough to kill in a full squad
you got no chance on your own you have made a cheap way of making sirius, using our ships and cq ships as mantis even though most of us have methanoid armour ships we cant compete against the mantis ships you could have come up with new mantis at least. (but like jim said its all about the money) but you have not put no thought into sirius i am let down we cant even grind there on our own maybe you should invite gamigo back to help you out a bit please, dont keep ruin this game we love and enjoy so much things need to change big time other wise no one will play. Loads of ppl are leaving its unfair we all cant afford gold every 2 seconds and thats what it feels like. You guys need gamigo back or someone who knows how to treat there players with respect, you are not showing us any respect we pay membership which is not cheap im sure you earn enough its like your just being greedy we was happy with the game once now everyone is unhappy, even new players will find it hard what a shame surposed to be able to do this game solo and free ps if we grind in lower systems we get cry reduction so we are losing out either way as we cant grind in sirius

rockets too have been watered down, the other day i pvped a tank and its aggro bomb took just over have my hp lol, i guess its all just down to luck, but for the roaster blasters (sirius tech) to be weaker than the draconis blaster (draconis tech) is just wrong

Probably there will be a better repair droid available on some Sirius planet.

But I calculate, it will take any pilot a long time to find it.

So far only a handfull of pilots was able to complete a BP.

Much at the frustration of the other group that is needed to shoot big ships and find them.

HAL

 

[HAL 2000]

The list with complaints grows and grows. Disappointement and frustration in publiv chat on raidcall and on forum. Even in clanchat.

Basically the Sirius system is to far off the game people signed up for. It's nice to cellect stuff for your ship and upgrade it. To be able to shoot a higher level of enemy.

As a player i spend to much time on this game anyway. In the hours available it is nice when u can accomplish something. Find a BP, complete a mission, whatever.

In this sytem. I have to shoot for days with between 5 and 10 others, just to get 1 or 2 BP's complete for others. By the time they are finished, the planet collapses. This morning i was hoping to also get a chance for my blaster BP's. I found myself alone in orbit off a different planet. No blaster to be found.

I left, askin myself what i am wasting my time on.

Why should I pay and buy boosters for others to complete their stuff.

When do we land on a planet again where the much wanted Blaster will drop?

Will other have time to shoot for mine too?

This sytem is gonna fail. Badly.

Do as you like Splitscreen. You presented a new game and WE don't think much of it. A players will keep playing as long as there is a reasonable chance on a drop. That is how MMOG's work.
They will stop if there is no reward within a reasonable amount off time.

Go do your homework.

and your point is? with more hp you dont need to use your rep droid as fast cos you got more hp so harder to kill, iv got a meth armor parsec and vs a meth armor lvl 70 storm the parsec is weaker, the rare draco rep droid can rep a meth armor dominator so i cant see it having a problem with a meth armor rank 70 ships can you?

 

[davidmcc]

That multi-piece Bp collecting thing really does need to go away. It was a bad idea to begin with and has only helped make the new system that much more undesirable.

 

[Ghost division Kane]

the only good thing was golds dropped more. now i love getting gold BP's and all.

Removed due to no such writing in this thread

The first thing, I dont understand how can you love their gold bp principle? Yesterday I killed marauder commanders 2 hours to find Vega aim, but instead of giving me just one gold bp, it gave me 4 gold bps for scx thunderstorm, which I already have. Now , how the hell you can call that good?

About other thing I completely dont understand what you are saying. So, by your story its good and fair when someone pays little but its wrong when they pay lot. So when game asked of you to pay little then "they cared for you", but now "they care only money"??? They always cared money you i...t.

 

[nobrainwavesdetected]

the new bp system is very good for golds.
not for the vega ones but for higher it's better. especially for account that don't have luck, don't think it's luck i still think it depends on the account and everything but no need to discuss that again. anyway now you don't have to search for like 20 consecutive hours to make sure you get a gold drop. i'm at 7/14 for the sol sniper blaster and i'm now on a break and search a couple every day.
