The mantis interest in tau ceti

[Predator01]

Hello pirates and pods

As some of you might know this mission was used to grind on venar before the TC update.
Unfortunately the area is now covered with alot of mantis and we are unable to grind there.
I would like to see this changed it was a great option for cry and everyone had harvs to grind.
Even with part 2 tech we are not able to grind at the normal harv spots on venar so the only option for decent cry and warscore would be hive which only has 3 spots.

let me know what you think about this.

Well i know from the old time that not the Harvs where the Cryogivers from that mission and rather the Inters with Cryos that had an worth of around 200 if memory serves correctly.

I used this method in the old Venar to farm here and there for 1 hour what made some crazy amounts of Cryo ranging from 75k-100k depending on how good you perform on that mission cus you simply just called the inters down killed them and then run away to reset the harv to get another wave of inters afterwards.

However i wouldn´t say that Harvs are the best option to farm cryos anymore considering that with Modal tech and stuff you can farm at R4/5 planets much more efficently and rather quick and depending on your time and the drop you can make easy 80-100k/hour.

For harvs the issue remains that you kill them and then wait for the respawn before you can start the next round while in Sirius you basicly can shoot in an infinite loop and the units drop minimum 1k (R4 wu) to 15k (R5 CU (Odion DS excepted cus they drop the common SU 8k Cryos))

In theory you can "generate" your own harvs by simply accepting the Mission for the Collector but this then requires the System ship so that the farm effect vanishes already again.

The thing on Venar Harvs however is that it gives not many good spots aside from 1 that is an bit isolated from the Mantis and at best an Endurer might drop in if you use LC a bit to reckless but considering that you hunt those best in sq this isn´t really an issue i would say.

Same count for New earth where it gives 1 spot where the Harvs are a bit isolated so that you could use them as well but again requires a sq to farm them efficently.

Yes the inters is what gave the cry. I personally don't mind that. It gave decent cry and warscore and its something different then just regular harv grinding.

I think we should have more options then just sirius or hive considering the crazy part 2 tech/ship prices.
And i was not just talking about cry. yes you can make a good amount in siri which usually requires a sq since solo drop rate is horrible sometimes. The warscore you can get on hive is much better then sirius. And if you want some decent cry on the side while grinding warscore hive is the way to go.

You mean the warscore that gives those useless Gold Skulls if you sit in Div 1 on 1st place? The Gold skulls that have an higher value then Achive points? The Skulls that did come withe the Ladder that since it´s implementation still IS IN BETA?

I don´t really care about the WS crap cus i find it a useless function that not really brings anything to you aside from showing players "who have no life" just to be on top of an ladder cus they have the gold skulls but did nothing within the game.

On the top 10 2 players have less then 2k of Achive points but enough Skulls to be in the Top 10.

Aside from that the droprate is wonky everytime considering that i wanted to "quick fill up e" on old earth by shooting some harvs and it took me freaking 15 mins for a full load and made nearly 10k of cryo with the penalty of 25(?)% in my TC ship with Modal Tech i can easily say that the drop is in every system the same just the time it takes to kill and the drops are shifted cus you may kill more in less time but the value of the cryo in the end decides how much you can make/hour. And if i now sit on a spot and grind down mindless one Harv after another or if i grind down mindless R4/5 units one after another is not really changing much for me aside from that i can earn more/hour from R4/5 atm then grinding at Hive/Venar atm.

I use Hive from time to time for a "fun run from LZ to the Queens Chamber" and then leave it again and make somewhat around 20k if i have a good droprate.

In terms of "It should give more Options then just Siri or Hive to gain Cryo" it gives at least 2 Posts that try to give a small remedy:

One was made by me for an based Daily, Weekly and Monthly Reward system:

One was made by Rajaa for new things that could be implemented into the Game:

And the Vids about those from Poland (JustARavenPL):

In the end only Split can do the stuff and we only can deliver suggestions to them and they decide if they can be implemented or not.
