Hi , this post is about few ideas i made and i'd like to share them with other players and developer team. Most of you already know those ideas , but i thought it'd be better to make an official post to this with few pictures i made to show you how it may could look.
There are 2 things i mostly hear from players.
-Energy is low in every system and it takes long to refill their energy at energy fields.
-Many players are offline everyday because they have nothing to do (just grinding all the time or hunting few BPs isn't fun) and they say game is boring because it doesn't have fun events or contests every week.
But , i discussed with many of them with some ideas and heard what they would like to do in pg aside of story missions / sirius hunt / hunting BPs or cryonite.
Ideas list:
1. Energy increase
2. Daily Login Rewards
3. Daily/Weekly/Monthly Missions
4. Achivement Rewards
5. Clan Flag
6. Race Tournaments
7. PvP Tournaments
8. Weekly Boss Event
Energy Increase
- Energy is what makes our ship components work.
- Players with membership have 50% , 75% or 100% less energy consumption.
Players who can't afford membership / membership every month , no matter if they are low or high level ones , complain about so long refilling. If you see each planet from vega - tau ceti , we do spend energy much faster than we gain.
Example: Kalabesh - players who just start game have 1000 energy as their maximum. Kalabesh energy field generates orbs that give 10-14 energy. So players need aprox to collect orbs 80-90 times to fill their maximum and that takes too long to do. New players surely don't want to refill so long , they want to see game further.
In higher systems items use more energy but energy cap increases for us also. But still at aprox 5000-7000 energy cap we have orbs that generate 100-200 energy which takes 50-60 times to collect to be fully refilled to our maximum. I won't mention how much time it takes if we include 3 drones which we use along with ships.
Finally , my suggestion is to increase energy cap per level by +150 or +175 ( current is 125 per level ) , because 10.875 energy at maximum level is spent in 5-6 minutes of shooting ( 1-2 units in sirius ) , but refill takes double time , if we use drones , even more. I think energy shouldn't be problem for usual shooting because game isn't about energy ,it's about effort we spend in shooting and patience , so we should have increased energy by collecting orbs / some BPs.
For story missions , we'll still need membership because we won't have e fields everywhere or we won't have time to refill. So , membership will still be used and bought , but this would help lower and higher system players shoot more without refilling energy every 5 minutes.
Daily Login Rewards
Advantages
- Players would login daily and play because of new rewards every day
- They would be able to gain something aside of grinding all the time even if they can't be active more than hour or two
Mechanics:
Daily Login Reward event starts 1st day of each month and it's duration is untill last day. It's fulfilled at the moment you log-in and it resets at 0:00 server time , so you must log-in again to get new reward. You will be able to claim to claim from the oldest if you have unreceived rewards. Check-in when you're online can be automated or there can be a button ''Check-In'' to click to get your reward.
Rewards that can be included? I thought of that , but there are many thing that can be given.
For example: 1st day in month you can get energy pack with some energy to help out not spend too fast.
Each next day gifts some cryonite ( depends on your level ). Exceptions are every 6 or 7 days in month where u can get small amount of gold as gift that you've logged in every day. Also as 6th day in week i'd may give also blaster skins ( etc. heart , confetti , showball ) which duration can be 3h or 12h. As the last 2 day of login in month , we can get 3h boosters ( cryonite , deflect , firepower , speed - it changes every month) as gift that we've been active in pirate galaxy whole month!
This is my recommendation which would make players active most days of month in pirate galaxy and number of players online / coming to pirate galaxy will increase with each day!
Daily/Weekly/Monthly Missions
First of all , i'd like to say big thanks to Vesperion who spent long time on making Daily/Weekly/Monthly Missions ideas. My ideas here will be just additional here , but please check Vesperion's post for fully detailed ideas: https://forum.pirategalaxy.com/viewtopic.php?f=253&t=42474
In this part i would suggest lining up missions in their own lists.
We usually have mixed story / white missions in one list which makes it hard sometimes to find mission we need. Each list for those would be great and more easier to select any mission we want to. I had put 1 mission of each type to let you see how it could look.
Achivement Rewards
There are players who like hunting BPs ( golden BPs ) , missions in squadron , white missions , buying ships to get achivements and fill their achivement board with many activities.
But , there are many players that don't find hunting lower system BPs ''fun''. Most of all , almost no one does white missions because they seem boring mostly and not give enough cryonite to make players spend their time on that. Players mostly go offline or afk because they cannot farm cryonite too long. About achivements for buying/completing sets of ancient/golden prints on ships , players do not want to spend cryonite on that because that is ''waste'' of cryonite to get an achivement for ship fully-loaded.
To make players hunt BPs , missions and buy components (also more active) , i recommend adding rewards for achivements which will make them more active and all day busy , not just being AFK in orbit and whining how game is boring.
About achivement rewards , i'd include:
-Standard achivements (completed PvE kills , etc. mars sniper slayer ,story or white missions completed , completed all standard BPs and fully-installed golds on ships of system). Reward for those would be mostly cryonite , depending on system.
-Medium achivements (completed system golden BPs , finalizer of system (whites and story completed)). Reward for those would be bigger amount of cryonite or small amount of gold.
-Advanced achivements ( Whole set from vega - draconis gold bps completed for 1 ship type , etc. Storm Fan where you completed all gold bps for storm class in every system. This would include also Ancient tech completion of whole system sets ,etc. Sirius Strong Technology achivement and whole singularity BP collector , also Ultimate Rare BP Collector achivement). Those achivement would need long time to complete , but would give great number of gold ( you can see on picture above).
Clan Flag
As pirates , some clans are more famous for more and stronger members and some are not that strong , but solid. I have got this idea thanks to my mate who suggested me.
Every pirate has to have own flag otherwise it wouldn't be pirate! This would be symbol of clan , when someone joins clan he'd have this flag on every ship ( he can still paint ship any he like ). Also , Clan Admiral would be able to make flag and put it on as homepage when someone looks into clan starting window. This is my clan flag which my clan uses in apps that we use and i'd like to have something like this on my ships.
Race Tournaments
I have asked pretty good number of players if they would like this activity. In space race missions racers are immortal which makes them easier to move around planets. For players racing this would go a little harder since they must wait for coldown on items on some planets.
Space Race Tournament would be additional fun like Colossus battle ( almost no one comes to Colossus on Askone i can say ) and it would have Registration phase which could be etc. at Tuesday untill 20:00h server time and race would be holded at Wednesday at XX shown time. Races would be holded on planet which is described on window where we sign in for race and also tech for that system would be described ( if planet is molikar , you must come with Mizar tech only). Sign in would cost very small number of cryonite ( like 2000 cryonite only ).
This would make some better activity and more fun for PG players. About number which can sign in to race i didn't think much , but around 30 players could be maximum to this. Prizes would be highest for 1st , 2nd and 3rd place ( cryonite prize ) and for other places would be less but still a little prize for participating. At PvP tournament post under this you'll see that Racers who win would get a place in Hall of Fame list ( 1st place - gold skull , 2nd place - silver skull , 3rd place - bronze skull ).
PvP Tournaments
I'm sorry about bad pictures on Race and PvP tournament talk , but it would take a lot of editing to make those.
Mechanics:
Registration phase would be same as for Race Tournaments. Player pay a small amount for registration ( few thousands of cryonite , depending on which system PvP will be).
My idea for this is:
Only players who have few golden BPs or Ancient BPs can do registration , because they have no chance against ancient / gold bps at some point.
Amount of players that can register would be not more than 10.
PvP Tournament is holded in big restricted area with lights (lights same as for space race start point , but a lot bigger area). Each player goes to its side , and Game Master would be like ''judge'' for matches. Both players can do PvP 5 times. If one reaches 3 wins , he automaticly won and moves to next round ( like quater-finals , semi-finals and finals). Aside that area that is big enough for PvP and nicely look lights , players would be able to watch players PvP around that restricted area. So they would be able to see how PvP goes and who is better between them. For first 3 places in PvP , players get most rewards and golden/silver/bronze skull in Hall of Fame. Registration would be at Wednesday and PvP tournament holded at Thursday. About planet where it could be holded , it could be one of 3 unused planets in Sol or some special challenge planet for that , but i can't think of better place than that. Prizes could be cryonite and a pack of gravitons (5 gravitons total).
This is a picture which shows we could have more things in hall of fame aside War Score lists. PvP and Race Tournament winners would be listed here along with their golden/silver/bronze trophies ( sorry i made blue skull instead of bronze since bronze is dark color). This same picture would refer to Space Race list with amount of trophies.
Weekly Boss Event
Weekly Boss Event is more like challenge to all players. Boss would appear in any system (every friday event start at etc. 18:30h server time) and system message would announce planet where boss appeared and what system tech we would use , few Game Masters could be there to watch about tech maybe or special mission "Weekly Boss" could be added when boss appears , players would select mission to be able to attack/see it.
At left upper side there is Weekly Boss Event box ( like for any event ) where u can see how long event duration is . I would say event duration would be maximum 2h.
Boss will have big hp and anyone can participate. On right side you can see a window with best squadrons which made most damage to boss ( how many HP and how many % damage it is ). This would be required for squadron matter because the best places get most rewards for their effort. First 3 places could get most cryonite maybe , or few graviton packs or 3h booster ( depending on place what it would be ). Other places would still get reward according to their place . This event would be good thing to make players race over best squadron in damage matter to boss , but boss on picture i made has x3 lives , each live for example i had put 29000 HP. Many players can participate , all can come if they have that technology in that system where boss appeared ( if it is lower system , surely more players can come ). And immportant thing , rewards from this depend on system in terms of how much cryonite we would get.
Note: This post isn't meant to interrupt Pirate Galaxy gameplay and none of these pictures aren't shared anywhere and i originally made them and this is first time i show them . Pirate Galaxy is my favorite game for years and i still enjoy to play it , keep good work devs!
