what is the despair the actu that comes is complex
  If you waited 6 years wait a few months is nothing

Totally agree on that. TC will come when it comes

Exacly my point this is an update not a new game in the making, and laydback coment and attitude from devs and gm´s (some of wits dont play the game anymore) are killing the game, and dont get started on if u dont like it why are you playng and all that rubbish, even tho that time is closing fast TC or not.

 

[Gladiator]

and it s senceless saying that we are waiting for 6 years, because this would mean people are waiting since sirius is online, this doesnt make sence to me.... they would also say they already want sth new at this point of time without playing sirius :-D

and yes, as some other already said, waiting a few other weeks or months should be possible for everyone :-D

I agree with Destroier6.

I do not agree because only having the bps Ancient are worth all sirius

better that it be so bps Oolyte + to the worst bps of venar, and the bps Dolomyte + to the best bps of venar ^^

I also disagree. it is our fault for not collecting the bps in the first place.
Devs do not need to work around this. WE should work around this, and if that means move down the rings, then we should do that. However not allowing TC ships, or Ancient ships with TC tech on Siri is silly, no matter what it has to be changed. And I also see siri becoming a dead pocket cus all "now" siri players will most likely move to TC, and be a huge hassle for newcomers to siri and hard to accomplish anything there, due to lack of players interested in spending time there/ helping out.

Sorry, you're right it's our fault, because we choose to spend time in real life over pg.
Of course we should collect useless BPs to get Tau Ceti tech, it's way more logical!
Why should be able to contruct something just with the right blueprint? That is crazy, you need to collect blueprints of something different first!

You had more than 4 years to do all the bps of the game, with a sirius ship you can one shot all things vega > draconis , and the r1-r4 is easy.
Now , r2 to r4 have less hp , and the bps can drop better , you can do them in 1 month so WHY can't you do them ?
BUT if you prefer farming rapid/strong/long taunt then i don't know ...
Tau ceti will be old bps + new bps = Neon ships and items, it's an interesting mecanic you want new things but when you have to do something by yourself there is nobody :s
It's nobody's fault , but now that you know you will need the bps it's up to you to act or not , tau ceti is not here yet , you have the information now.
When tau ceti will be released if you don't have the bps it will be your fault ( still i'm not here to blame anyone ) , and not dev's fault ^^
Sirius is not only R5 don't forget it ^^

 

[Highway]

When you say new ships you mean the new classes that will come as you said or something that we don't know?

Yes there will be new classes and new hybrids ships.

I'm just wondering will starting classes (storm, shock, engineer and tank)
get any kind of rework, as some are a little underpowered (shock)?

For the Tau Ceti updates, no rework is planned of the default starting classes since the TC starting ships will be different

Wird die Story nur auf Venar sich im Part 1 abspielen oder wechselt man auch wieder in die unteren Systeme was sehr zu wünschen wäre.

In Part 1 most of the time players are having their story quests on Venar, but require to get ancient tech from Sirius to upgrade to their TC tech. Visiting lower systems play a role but not on part 1

Pls consider the Prototyp Armor (if they get a new one), we don't want the same unbalaced Paperships like in Sirius before the Update

Yes there will be an new armor for the parsec/prototype ships to be used on TC.

Thx for the answers, I read some very nice things

Yet a question about the 'bp dependancy system':

We are still evaluating this mechanism, but at its core a player needs a set of completed Bps to build an new Item. e.g: Oolyte Blaster BP + Weakest TC Blaster BP = Build Weakest TC Blaster
This should ensure that all the hard work that went into gathering Sirius tech/rares etc can not be skipped.

I suppose this will indeed prevent Draconis players to skip Sirius and enter TC straight away but I think this also can hinder new players.
As how I read it you will need each Oolyte (probably till Kenyte?) tech to install the desired item but this will force players to go BP collecting so they can install TC tech. Problem is that if players decide to play with a different class ship in TC then they did in Sirius, they need to search whole Sirius again for all BPs .

The BP dependency system is there to honor the veteran players effort in collecting the ancient items(Ring5). You probably do not require the bps from ring 1-4 other than using them to progress to ring 5 and be able to acquire ancient tech.

Players that have already collected a good amount of Ancient Blueprints will have a head start in TC since they can build the TC items earlier than players that still require to get the matching ancient Blueprint. We try to find a good balance so that the barrier is not that high, especially since we have prepared Sirius already for Tau Ceti.

A new player progress would be: Finish Draconis -> Play TC prologue & play in Sirius -> Enter TC -> collect Bps in TC & Sirius to progress in TC

Is the tau ceti ship on the puzzle the same as the tau ceti ship on this dev shack? I can see similarities.

Jup its the same ship

1. If I will have TC ship with all armors,best TC bp - how many worse will be drop on r5 ?
2. TC ship will be only for TC missions or for sirius too?
3. Missions for bp,npc on missions where we can drop bp will be public or individuals ?
4. What abaut RDX ships.Do we get raven event or other event for collecting this ships before TC update come?

1. & 2. To maintain the balance in Sirius, Tau Ceti tech will not be allowed to enter the Sirius system. This is because the Sirius system is a special system with its own rules/gameplay. Allowing TC ships to enter would interfere to much for other players and makes acquiring Sirius ancient bps way to easy. A drop reduction mechanism would not work here since it would not be enough to compensate for it.

3. The Bps drops in TC will work the same as in other systems. Its a personal drop that can be seen by your squad mates if they did effort on that unit.

4. its not planned to have an raven event before the first Tau Ceti update.

We will keep you posted with updates during development here. Keep your questions/feedback flowing

That's not the point, i have allmost all blueprint for my favorite ship, so i could get these kind of items without any farming in sirius and i have all kenyte bps, so i could equip all my other ships after arriving the last planet of Tau Ceti with the best tech.

But i don't like this system, it forces players to get useless blueprints of r1-4 just to waste their time!
How can anyone accept and even defend a terrible idea like that?!

Just a thing to point out. Why would it be useless if you get them to help build tau ceti tech. If they're there for nothing then they shouldn't even exist.

NOOOOO! Don't do this!
Let the player the freedom to fly in sirius like on another systems.
If we have to spend cryo so much for new TC items and ships is ridiculous if we can't enter in sirius. Please I have played and reach sirius in 3 times (servers Aurora - Aeria - Gaia) and I get more fun playing alone.
And actually, anyone can't kill one giza / soris / amarna alone. Yes, Sirius is system for clans... but force the people to play in one way (team only) is a bad idea since the beginning, various old players has leave the game for that.
I am'not the unique waiting the release of TC FOR 4 YEARS to after get the tech, go to sirius with TC Ships and get ancient BPs with it...

 

[ClockWire]

Yes there will be new classes and new hybrids ships.

Can you give us an idea on what class they will be?

Yes there will be an new armor for the parsec/prototype ships to be used on TC.

Can't wait to be slow again lol



Thank you for the update Highway can't wait to see the finished product

Acquiring Ancient Tech isn't difficult, you can do anything if you have min. 3 Players.
Even if your not in an aktive clan, there still random players for your help.

I've finished over 300 BPs since the Update and except ca. 10 Ancient BPs (i want for my lower system ships) there is only waste left.

Looks like it's allready way to easy to acquire Ancient Bps

The most difficult task in Sirius at the moment, is not to go offline
Keep one thing in mind, if i'm activ in the forum i'm inaktiv ingame. The only reason why i'm posting here anything is, because i'm frustrated with the game.

I think he meant that the current balance between the 4 classic ships is awful since PvP Part 1. Most items have changed and so the shock ships went from being "mainly PvP" and a very good ship to PvP against most players to "totally useless" because losing 1v1 to any other ship and hardly efficient in teamfight.
And so far it ain't nor have ever been really needed for PvE anyway, so it basically lost its purpose.

So how abaut old rules? We can fly rdx with ancient armor on all systems and get easy bps.
Why then tc tech need to be different ?
If we gives rdx,parsec ships new tc armor that mean we cant fly on sir anymore till not sell but will be able to fly in other system and get easy bps ?

Only reason what i see that decissions is Yours plan get tc biger then sirius.If not we get fast borring and not usable ships/tech to hunt on sirius.

Well only left wait and see how that will work.

I hope new items will not get so much energy

P.S

Will be avesome if we get some new screens and name new class ships.
Who knows maybe we will se here destroyers with big armor and big firepower
or command ship what will give for group extra bonuses.

Thank You very Much.

Bonjours a tous
J'ais peut être pas lu , mais avec tous ce qu'il ce dit .
Je reste positif a la vue de tous ses changements ! .
Ma question ; y a t'il une date pour les 1ére aperçues an réelle ?

I also disagree. it is our fault for not collecting the bps in the first place.

Sorry, you're right it's our fault, because we choose to spend time in real life over pg.
Of course we should collect useless BPs to get Tau Ceti tech, it's way more logical!
Why should be able to contruct something just with the right blueprint? That is crazy, you need to collect blueprints of something different first!

no one forced you to play games. its a fact RL is real. but we all have one. if u want to play softcore, go play mario bros, bro. start collecting bps and stop the whine.

all games out there have 1 thing in common = grinding. so stop acting like kids and start grinding.
you want all siri bps? all of a sudden, one can realise that they aren't all that important atm. there is something else that needs priority and that is TC bps. in order to get them u need some work done. so get on the lower systems and grind, and smile and enjoy while at it. BP Dependancy?
I say devs for president on this one!

for me no bps is useless all are useful and they were for the first ones that were in Sirius and it will be also in order to build the TC technology ^^
