Developer Blog entry from February, 12th. Economics, Sector Conquest and Efficiency.

Hopefully over the weekend there will be more sales for MK3 items for T3-5? like 50% off? And even a ship discount of 35% of all ships from T3-T5? 

 

Also a FS sale would be nice for those that want to level up there ships again. I just want more incentive along with the current changes to have more people move up and fight in T4/5

please do this, i need 2 new ships to have a full sec con lineup again

Hi, I’ve taken a little break from star conflict (about a month) and came back last week, and it may be just me, but i have seen loads of interceptors. Most battles the enemies had one long range frigate, twoo guards, maximum 4 other fighters (command, tackler) and all the others i’ve seen were flying either gunship or interceptors

Depends a bit on the tier you’re in. T3 is pretty balanced with about as many interceptors as frigates and slightly less fighters. T4, however, seems to have an abundance of interceptors, likely because everyone synergized the rest in PVE.

…and your going to let us buy more warehouse space, right?

when fighting on ships of the final rank of a technological level (specifically, ranks 3, 6, 9, and 12), players will get upgrade kits (up to Mk. 2) for the next technological level.

What about players who have equipped only rank 9 premium ships? In MM they count as rank 8, so will they not get any upgrade kits for the next tech level? Or do they still count as rank 9 ships in that respect?

  • Ranks 10-12 — 20% more.

 

So, this confirms that T4 is kind of useless right now.

 

I dream for the day this game gives me a reason to play with every Tier. Maybe earn an exclusive different currency with each Tier?

All good ideas.

20% on the ranks 10-12 gets more people playing higher ranks. The down side is that people will be unlikely to go back to those ships after they reach higher ranks. Meaning there will be fewer fights in those ranks. Meaning it will eventually be harder to level those ranks. As it is there are more or less 0 rank 13-14 people in the queue for example…

Everything else does not seam to have any down sides.

I noticed that there wasn’t too much for low ranks. Are they health? IE are people playing  who have been on SC for a while, or are they healthy because new players are playing them?

Regardless I feel like these updates will get more people playing higher rank ships.

They made it to encourage people to play that tier. Hopefully T4 PvPs will be more often. And if they are not, at least you can reach T5 faster. Either way will benefit you, I don’t see how you can see a bad side on this change.

I do actually like this change, but just because I will get to T5 faster, and nothing more. And I feel that is a missed opportunity for the game. For example, I dont feel the need to upgrade any of my T4 modules because it feels like a waste of currency. Plus the Tiger is my favourite ship design in the game, so i will miss it.

I strongly believe that upcoming tournaments may be in T4 ships, or at least the ones with the higher prizes. The problem with T4 is that T5 came too early so people stuck in T3 just went to end game skipping T4 as much as possible…

That happened to me, and it feels kind of bad.

 

Maybe Tier locked locations in sector conquest? THAT would be actualy interesting.

How will synergy bonuses affect premium ships?  Will they get an additional synergy bonus?  Hopefully the T4 PvP will liven up a little.  My last queue attempt was 20 minutes of waiting.

 

Also, I’m getting close to eight million in synergy on premiums and elites, which is well over 50k GS to transfer all of it.  Any recommendations other than paying $150 to transfer?  A lot of that is due to T4 PvP being a little dead in the past.

 

I have had one thought for dealing with dead queues, bot matches.  After five minutes, it’s just you and two bots vs three bots.  It’ll be more fun than PvE at least.

In addition, another measure will also be introduced — despite the fact that all new ships are sold with pre-installed equipment, we want the players to have the opportunity to upgrade as soon as possible (since the transition from one tech level to another is associated with module replacement) so now, when fighting on ships of the final rank of a technological level (specifically, ranks 3, 6, 9, and 12), players will get upgrade kits (up to Mk. 2) for the next technological level.

Will this affect PvE?  Can we get T5 modules in missions other than Pirate Base?

It will affect all modes. You may be able to loot Mk. 2 modifiers in all PvE (violet drop point rules didn’t change), but you need to have 12r line-up in your battle slots.

is dreadnoughts ever gonna happend?

 

was waiting since summer, = 6-7 months ago.

If you have one Rank 12 and two rank 11 for example, can you loot also mk2 tier 5 kits?

Another suggestion: You should also get T5 Mk. 2 if you bring ranks 13-15 into PVE. :wink:

Patience is the best thing you will learn with Star Conflict :smiley:

You know there’s this thing called Pirate Complex right?

That’s hardly an option without a pre-made squad, nobody queues for that.
