So in preparation for this patch, what is the best course of action?
Grind Credits
Grind more loyalty.
Buy all the MK3 you can.
Possibly buy all the Mk2 items as they will be changed to Mk2 (military?) (please correct me if im wrong)
Horde EVERYTHING. For the next week, I will go back to T4 to grind money and sometimes jump to T2 to grind up some ECM ships.
Best course of action? If you have a fat wallet buy prem your most used weapons for t4 and t5 for every class, than in the future you will have mk4 weapons that can be put on newly acquired ship and speed up synergy farm
It still boils down how high new Synergy cap per shipp will be and is it as easily achievable per match as it is right now.
All Mk. 1 modules and weapons will remain with the players.
All Mk. 2 modules and weapons will be replaced with newer versions. The existing “Military” modules will be renamed to Mk. 2.
All Mk. 3 modules and weapons will remain with the players.
All Mk. 4 modules and weapons will remain with the players.
Important: There will also be changes in premium equipment — all of your owned premium modules and weapons will be displayed as unique versions of Mk. 3 modules:
Module characteristics will not change
The new modules will have a unique ability — increased synergy gain in battle.
The more of these modules are installed on the ship, the more synergy you get.
Attention! These modules can be improved to version Mk.4 and they will retain the synergy bonus.
Modules will remain with the players, as their combat characteristics are identical to Mk.3 and Mk.4 (if improved) versions, but they won’t be available in the story any more.
so just few questions… um rockets, ammo can be upgraded to t4 now? what about the previous 100 percent syn gain on the ammo and rockets do they change? and with the premium weapons going away does it still cost standards to replenish them?

I was thinking of buying a Premium T5 weapon. As that would turn blue in the upcoming patch.
Then, for T4 I would just grind up to rank 12 and buy MK3 Items while I still can.
Thus, I need about 10 million credits.
My earnings usually (minimum and winning games)
100K For T2
130K For T3
150-170K For T4
Welp, better spend and gather money like a xxxx.
There is a good idea though to spend credits to gain MK2 items ( as it should just transfer to military in next patch)
I have yet to sell a single Green Military looted item since i joined the game (i heard rumors about crafting so i hoarded all teh greens i got) i have hundreds of those…

No, ammo will not be upgradable. It will all be on one level. The power of this new ammo will be around current Mk. 3. You will still be able to buy premium ammo - it will boost your synergy gain in battle.
Ok, these adjustments looks and sounds very great, Im for all your change, but What about trading system, Corporation messages for all members and Custom battle? These things need to create or improve.
I want to remind you that we are constantly looking into the lag issues, but we cannot directly say that it is because it depends on: Your location, the server location, your connection and server load. We already made improvements according to this and we will continue with it.
Aim was fixed, already - we have installed hotfix today.
I really dislike being so negative all the time - Whilst the hotfix is a massive improvement over what we have had for the past two weeks, the aiming indicator still isn’t anywhere near as visible as It could be. Please allow us to make our own customizable HUDS ? Problem solved with no work required for the Dev’s etc
Changes sound awesome, I have been expecting something similar to the planned upgrade system for a while now. Is this what you had in mind, when you mentioned a crafting system, or is there a crafting system also in the works?
Also, please please please make the surplus synergy transfer from premium ships FREE. - Is this ever to be considered Anitbus ? (I have over 13 million surprlus synergy that I will never pay any real money to transfer as Ive paid for the ships already !!!)
Yes, I would like to stress the fact that the HUD will be improved, it would need to be customizable for every aspect of it. Some people like it so visible that it goes over other ships, others like a different color, and some like it transparent.
As long as its truly customisable, then not a single person will complain.
The patch looks promising, but if we have grinding issues or the patch makes more of a grind a hassle, then we will face some problems. It’s all about balance.
