aptly hidden where no devs will ever look
Yeah… hows that working out? Im not a dev… But if I know about it, they do. Though, im adding numbers in the quotes to make my replies easier.
1 Ship tree(Some ship placements are just plain wrong)(& Some ship names I would like to see switched but not really important)
2 Ship boosts(Some have no boosts at all or got useless boosts)
3 Progression speed(Loyalty/Credits/Synergy, Including Synergy Transfer price)
1, Agree with both parts.
-
Some are also hidden
-
Wont happen as when it was lower, people progressed WAAAY too quickly. The last part with the x-fer prices I feel you on that.
1 ALL Ship bonuses visible on the ship descryption
2 Fixed Matchmaking System (as in, really fix it). What I mostly want to see here is completely separating Tiers. You no longer have 500 pilots throughout 5 Tiers, you have 2k+ spread across 5 Tiers. It’s time you make the Matchmaking system what it is: a fair queueing system for ALL pilots, good or bad.
3 FIXED LAG. You have 2k+ pilots in matches and the servers can’t clearly cope with it. It’s time for a hardware upgrade to, partially, get rid of the lag.
4 Progression. Synergy is about the worst thing in this game you can possibly imagine. As it stands, SC is just a WoT copy/paste in space. And it really shouldn’t be, so, imo, the entire levelling system needs revising.
5 Rewards. In roughly 90% of my losing matches, I noticed a tendency. And that tendency is I get more rewards if I just throw the game. Ships I fly for 30 seconds and not even fire once I get more Synergy than on ships I fly and get an average of 4k points on. This. Is. Wrong. And it needs revising.
6 ECM. The class is neither ECM nor EW, so it either needs a complete overhaul (along with every other role’s modules) or a tweak on their modules, because, right now, they’re just the local stunner. Ever seen a WoW Druid spam Entangling Roots and Cyclones on you? Same thing, only with longer cooldowns. That’s the problem.
7 Income. I buy a ship for 6mill and spend roughly another 5-10mill just gearing it and testing fits. Others spend a few mill and use their useless Mk I gear just so they can get that R15 ship they always wanted and couldn’t give a toss about anything else. Each person has their own way of hogging money and I have a tendency to just flush it down the drain on new toys all the time. I’ve nothing against that. To me, personally, it feels like the income isn’t enough as you go into higher Tiers.
-
Agree
-
There are times when there are only 500 people on still… so until the overall 24 hour a day population increases… likely wont happen, but the que is constantly being tweeked, so some improvements may be seen.
-
I dont have lag issues, though likely due to the reason stated in #2. The lag is a known issue…
-
Disagree fully and on all levels. I still prefer the old one yes… but Since I still play WoT and am progressing up the tree there, its nothing alike.
-
Agree on the monetary part.
-
ECM needs something.
-
A slight increase in income would be nice, but nothing too dramatic.
Loot:
1 Remove extraction feature.
2 Return % chance of acquisition to what it was prior to this feature, allow players to get what they actually find, rather then punish them with bad RNG.

35 Aim UI, mouse, etc must be customizeable so users can more easily find it based on their vision requirements [high contrast, outline, etc].
1 & 2. Its very unlikely to change. It was changed to what it is now for many reasons. This system while it seems like its worse, you are about 3x more likely to get something. If you put the old chances into this system, it would be a 3% extraction instead of 10. Plus now you get more credit income rather than a 2000 credit broken laser instead.
-
Set colors with different prices wouldnt make this realistic as it would be a workaround to paying a higher price. Also see #4
-
I do agree here… All colors should be the same, which would allow for #3… except… When you do that, it effects anyone who is colorblind, thus issues with a disability.
-
Ive already made this suggestion to them.
-
Other things should be fixed before this.
-
Some stickers are like that still.
-
That would ruin many of the stickers out there.
-
Not likely to happen soon if it does happen, as people will submit many inappropriate things, and even after viewing some dev may not figure out what it is and allow it, whereupon later it would have to be removed due to being obscene…
-
Why?
-
No likely to happen as it would allow you to make 4 skins and just transfer them between every ship you ever use.
-
Negative, see #11
-
I agree with adding more colors and sticker/decals/whatever, but theres only so far it can go.
-
Wont happen as auction houses absolutely ruin game economies and open the doors for automated farmers or people farmers who get paid by someone to do it etc.
-
Already have one… You posted this message on it.
-
Negative, servers need to be paid for and people need to eat.
-
They are Corporations.
-
Why, all being called corporations is fine, this would just tend to confuse people.
-
Agree
-
Handy
-
Balance issues.
-
Possibly.
-
I believe the irridium is the final step.
-
Next step in AI = slaughter everything 
Wait until you get to later PVE missions.
-
They could use a slight bump, but they are pretty fair currently.
-
Balance issues.
-
Balance issues.
-
Eh… Kinda agree… depends.
-
If the ship tree was changed, This wouldnt be an issue.
-
agree
-
Its an active invite, I disagree as someone could just spam the invites to thousands of people.
-
Its being worked on and has been improved recently.
-
You can copy, though you need to do it through your chat logs.
-
Its a russian game, they are working on translations.
-
Agree, to a certain degree allow it though, via different available options.
Now, the reason I listed several things as balance issues, is this is a pvp game… not pve like in WoW where most of these things come into play. The pve tends to be more of a secondary focus. All contests, competitions etc are all pvp, so adding anything via guild based, could effect t1 ships, thus giving people a very large advantage over a new player just joining.
Disclaimer: The above are my own personal opinion, not dev’s or gaijins in any way of course. If I agree, it doesnt mean it will happen, if i disagree it doesnt mean that it wont. Im just trying to provide some insight into things for when you do submit this and for future suggestions into this thread.
it would have made this part easier].
