To start off with, these are my opinions, and I you may agree with me or not, your choice.
However I do not want this to become a flamestorm for agreement or disagreement, and I hope the Moderators and/or Admins deal with these individuals accordingly without impacting the thread as it is.
The ammount of time or how long you have been a player does not matter, behave civilized anyway.
Now then.
There are good changes out there, and if I do not bring a topic up, that means i like this game mechanic, or i have forgotten about it and will be added later.
Aggro.
From what I understand, and have experienced, the ammount of aggro is based on damage.
This makes the Tank class worthless, becaus it can not produce the ammount of threat needed to maintain its role as Tank.
My suggestion;
Have a tank generate more threat overall, tech ofcourse will play a big part of this, but blastershot form a storm and a tank at the same tech level should be in favor of the tank. Also the taunt should reset the threat of all combatants with the target, and generate a higher ammount of threat, giving the oportunity for people to be "saved" by the tank.
The aggrobomb does a big deal of threat, but i have not noticed any threat changes at all with this weapon.
So what would happen?
if a storm shoots a blaster and rocket, this would be more than enought to pass the tank in threat, so they need to think before doing too much damage.
The taunt will get the tank up to the same ammount of threat as the top ship on the threat list, and a bit more, giving the tank an oportunity to take back the agro.
Profanity filter.
This is something Pirate Galaxy needs more than anything right now.
A profanity filter to be triggered on and off if you want it.
The GM's are putting too much energy on correcting what someone is saying, and people is taking advantage of it.
People triggereing other people into saying bad things, just to have them muted or banned in worst case scenarios.
Example:
Today a GM came online and said "Hi how are you all?"
I replied, "The crydrop is crap, so not so good then."
This GM got so caught up on me using the word Crap so its was ridiculus.
So lets do some research..
OK, so the word crap, is enherited from the old medieval lathin word crappa, which means trash.
The french adopted it to crappe.
Do you see the problem here?
Add a profanity filter and let the storm rage for a while, it will settle, and the community will be alot less tense aswell.
However let the filter be togglable, and let the GM's deal with those who overuse the profanity instead.
This is rated +13 not +3.
GMs.
The GM's should be looked over, dealing with those not fit for the position (yes you know who you are).
Some has broken the CoC and some does not even know all of it.
Give them a test, and situations where they have to act accordingly to the CoC and evaluate them from there.
Bad GM's can realy ruin a good game.
Conquest Planets.
I wish to see the cryonite bonus for planets again.
None realy need the gravitons that much, and fighting for a cryonite bonus is more of an advantage to get new players more interested getting into clans and fight with you, for their sake.
Most conquests ends up being onesided now, adding the cryonite we hold so dear into the calculations and we will want to realy fight for it again.
I will again remind, i might have forgotten something, but will add more if i come up with something.
These are the most game ruining experiences i met so far anyway.
