Developer Blog from March 17th: New premium ships and a new build system

If you are very lucky, you can make 100 monos in OS…

Sorry that’s just plain BS. They aren’t reliable sources.

The only calculation you can do with mono are the daily missions. Everything else is just luck.

Wrong. There are percentages on how frequently monos/SP ship parts drop from specops.

And these percentages are incredibly low, but given that each instance of drop selection is independent of any other, if a person was “lucky” enough they could indeed get 100 monos in open space a day. Though the chance of this is close to nothing, hence why it hasn’t happened yet. I have gotten a grand total of 5 (maybe 6?) Monocrystals during my collective time in OS.

Can we please return to the subject of really interesting new ships and crafting mechanics?

I’m really digging the fact that parts can be found in PvP finally. At the rate that I do PvP each day, I’d probably have one of them not but a few days after release. (That is if the drop rate isn’t as low, or close to as low, as Monocrystals or standard ship parts.)

Please tell me the guards aren’t going to be weakened for the 20th odd time to make the new r7 guard seem better. And why has Jericho been left out of the last 2 sets of non-destroyer ship additions (Hyena and Achilles last time, and 2 feds and an empire this time)?

No. they won’t be nerfed :slight_smile:

Is the refill-mechanic % based of the EM-damage or a fixed x amount?

For example 300 incoming EM-damage refillrate of 30% make 90 points shield refill OR

100 points of refill regardless if 300 or 1000 EM-damage received.

Back then hyena and achilles were added 'cause only r9 fed tackler and imperium gunships were premium.

Don’t forget that jericho got the nix last year.

Non-premium wise, Jericho has only gotten the SP ships which are nigh impossible to get if you’re waiting on the R14 destroyers.

 

Also, I kinda wish we could have a chain of quests to unlock a ship which weren’t timed exclusives like the secret ship hunt. I mean it felt rewarding getting the nyx, but seeing randoms using it that didn’t do the event kind kills the sense of fulfilment. 

You mean a Quest-exclusive ship?

Yes exactly. Nyx should have stayed mission exclusive.

And I would love more mission ships like that.

You mean a Quest-exclusive ship?

Effectively, yes. Nyx was somewhat along the lines as it had lore driving the event, but it never really was a quest.

Since we are talking about the nyx and randoms, how about letting us buy the skins from previous quests, i would like the alien one very much, let everyone have everything then. :smiley: lol

NO

It’s one of the few still exclusive things left to this game and I love them. Letting everyone have something special makes it that much less special. Sorry…

That’s why the Nyx ship went from the best thing ever to kinda meh really fast when they made it a DLC.

in case of the nyx i would have not left it unbuyable, since it has no alternatives and therefore impacts your choices you can do ingame; all that should be somehow achievable, even if by buying.

in case of aesthatical goodies, i find exclusivity is fine, as long as it is not too exclusive, like larger assets for 1-2 people, in large amounts (trinketing), simply because it only serves elitism, like a golden gun from your dictator, and I think we are very far from that.

If it takes the same grind to get it that I suffered through with 1400 ping over the course of a month then exclusiveness is fine. But being able to buy it outright is absurd.

It was a joke :P 

Back to the thread - jericho seems a bit left down on cool stuff or am i wrong.

Jericho has Cutter and Sawtooth and Mauler etc.

yeah well, you didn’t have to buy it, and they have to, so what :stuck_out_tongue: saved you the money!

 

I just meant, if that would have become like a “never obtainable ship” for all future locked in the tree, thats not soo cool. I grinded it aswell.

Wait, was the alien skin a quest reward? If it is, I don’t really know why I missed it. Damn it.

No, alien skin was for a gold price

you mean - invasion color scheme? It was for participating in beta IIRC.
