The new loot system and another things

I don't like the new steering, that much is for sure. Had to turn off smart cammara just to have an ok lvl of control. With current system, there is a lot of angles of movement (that I can see), new one... 8 total. There are times where new one is better. If it was an option, I would be satisfied. I like the stopping when no movement commands are present. I do see more bps and I have seen cry + bp 2x. The number of drops of blues seems better. Going to try it some more.

First of all hi people of PG world. Found any bps you needed? no? they'll drop in time dont worry - however do worry about new loot system that has been announced by Sayyadin in this topic:
http://forum.pirategalaxy.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10608
where we're informed about new loot system and there's 2nd fact that says and I quote:
"2. One single blueprint will not enable you to build a weapon based on that blueprint right away. You will have to find more of these blueprints depending on the item. Don't worry, with the new loot and drop system you will get quite a lot of them but it will still take some time until you will be able to build the new item. You will always be noticed how many blueprints you have to find until you can build the item."
Now, my question (whoever can answer it) is: will the rare items be affected too by this "more bps required to build an item". Because finding rares aint easy, yet alone finding bunch of them to make just one item in new loot system.
example (and I hope I'm wrong about this):
-----------
let's assume a player needs thermoblast item
and for example take this: 1 thermoblast = 3 parts i.e. 3 different bps
-target is pyros
however: pyros also drop rare blaster parts or speed actuator parts which could also require 3 parts.
No need to mention what it looks like if a player needs let's say aggrobomb (target: detos which drop 3 normal bps plus rare item parts)
-----------
I sincerely hope that this type of loot system wont be adopted and call upon PG players not to support this kind of new loot system because this type of loot system is just wrong. No need to bring in radical changes to the game when the current item mechanics are just fine and have been ok for this much time since PG exists. Why changing something that has worked and is still working well? OK, a bit more reasonable drop rate of blueprints in draco would make things just fine (and lots of pilots share this opinion).
Rgds to PG players community.

one thing i might add to this is, will the blueprints that we currently have in the item shop (not rares), and equipped on our ships be affected by this? like will we have to go out and find them all over again, or will we keep the item?

i love hard found rares lol
whatever, how further you come in pg, they can't lower the droprate more and more, the old system will no longer work in sirius and works already very crappy in draconis. The new loot has to come, but they have to change it drasticly from what it is now.

-none of my eight pilots have it yet:! -and yes, i fear that the new bp´s will be numbered and that one of these numbers will drop very rarely??? -and how rare the goldprints will be, i just fear to think about it. -but let´s go to the testservers and see? - (and don´t forget the german version, where we will all start from scratch -EDIT- -well i couldn´t start from scratch, (and nevermind.) -on both testservers i had my askone pilot dead drunk. -even while traveling between planets, he had a hard time to look straight:!
pasenger8, i agree that that one with the stun charge and protector is the hardest one.passenger8 said:-like the vega vendetta taunt?metaldragon89 said:

I have to agree on the steering issue and I also had to disable the camera's . I would however recommend to anyone that suffers from motion sickness to do the same as it can be quite disorienting.peck said:
Another interesting point I noticed is this. With the cameras engaged lock on to a target ( it does not matter if its crys, a BP, or a Mantis) and try and fly away from it and see how far you get before the ship stops turns round and goes back to the selected target.
Not too clever if you have low health and are trying to AB away from a custard commander who is intent on giving you a few minutes in your pod so you can rearrange the furniture

sol bp drop rate is just fine - they should apply it for draco and for next systems as well. thing is that this new loot system will only give benefit to those who buy bp boosters. i'm not saying anything against ppl who use boosters - they should have some kind of "advantage" since their money pays for SS staff that keeps the game running but SS needs to realize that not only ppl who pay actually play this game - lots of pilots dont buy in game boosters or other stuff. no need to give make the game so difficult for those who dont buy things just to force them to pay. and in the end to make an excuse that this is F2P game. if u ask me this kind of action is the same as EA did to Westwood Studios and their games - turned them into commercial junk.pbhuh said:
I think the new steering system is reaaaaaallyyyyyyy bad. Just try to get to lvl 70 mantis on Hive like that. You won't even get half way. And this with the bps, that is really bad too. they should make it to most 10. And I think that rares shouldn't be affected of this, or maybe they should be 3 the most.
