No one plays t4

I’ve had T4 ships for a while.  Covert ops, gunship, engineer and guard.  I’m not even willing to use them in pvp because getting anything better than Mk II equipment for them is no longer possible.  All there is to use those for is pve.

 

I’ve played through the obnoxious, worst pve in existence hundreds of times: Shipyard and Hidden Maintenance Shop.  I have received “Military Engine Suppressor IV” over 10 times as the once per day purple dot loot.  I do not have a T4 tackler.  I think I have a full collection of long range frigate T4 military modules too. I don’t have an Lrf. I don’t want an Lrf.

 

T4 is off the table. It’s not an option.

 

I have rank 9 in every subfaction. I don’t care to play T3 anymore either even though I have full access to Mk III items there. There’s not enough control of what I’ll be doing and which team I’ll end up on in pvp.  Pvp is a dice roll. A win comes by luck. A loss comes by bad luck.

 

I land on the RU server almost every time. I’m in the USA.  If I limit the server to USA, I end up having bots as team mates.  Nothing about this is desirable for pvp.

 

I know they created the worst pve in the world because they don’t want people to play it for anything but the once per day purple dot loot.  Pve “valuable loot” was the last hope for T4 pvp, and it’s gone.  I consider it gone because getting “Military Engine Suppressor IV” daily is as good as nothing.

If you fly pvp instead, you will get those contracts to 12 faster than the military with pve. Just stay in tier 3 until your contracts are maxed. How many games you played, anyway? I moved to T4 at ~2000 games, started with full blues.

[…] I moved to T4 at ~2000 games, started with full blues.

That HAS to be a lie… i’m at @ 2500 games and got only 1 subfaction to R12 and 2 T4 ships so far only…

44

You guys running perma license? Maybe dlc bonuses? Over time these things add up.

 

It is entirely true. I’m at R13 factions with first R14 now at ~3000. At about 2200 all of them were R11-R12, 2400 must have been all R14, but at that time I was already at T5 since it just came out, had to get those ships, so i grinded sinergy on T4s fast, didn’t really bother fully equipping all of them blue (I have a lot of ships trough all roles and factions), was saving credits for T5 instead. Even today I cannot equip all my T4 ships full blue at the same time since there are too many of them, and I’m still out of cash to get more t5s lol (never did much pve and spent a fortune on booster modules).

 

So by 2500, you could be fully R12 (if you started at 0.8 like I did), because only to get 13->14 takes as long as 1->12 together.

 

Alek, for instance, had a full T5 lineup at 1500 battles, I was like:

~ 1600 games. 1 R12, 1 R11, rest are 9. 5 T4 ships (2 Premium).

 

I do have a license and the first 3 DLCs (worst purchases ever, now), so…

I got all the rest as well, since I ran out of gs, and can’t really say I regret any of them. I can’t say those were a bad deal, the credit increase surely helps (that extra % is like giving you free booster modules every match!). 

 

I still think if you’re only at 1600 games, and will need more credits in the future, I would really thing about the pirate dlcs. Compared to buying pure gs, you are giving up 5000 gs for 10% credit increase, a month of premium  and some cool stickers, which is worth imo.

I’m not buying ANYTHING ELSE in this game until the devs show results. But yes, I’ve been having a lot of credit issues. Namely the buying a ship for 6mill and having to spend roughly 10-12mill finding a fit that works for both myself and the ship.

Just noticed you have more posts on the forums than games played. How does anyone manage that?

49

You think we will see a surge of T4 with this upcoming patch?

50

Not yet. Give it a few more months. It will stay as it is for now.

Then might as well grind loyalty and credits. 

 

And pray they increase the GS to Free Synergy Ratio

When you have as much free time at work as we do… It happens.

From the direction where the economy has been going until now, you can only expect the prices to increase.

I am at 1400 battles

I have T4 ships in every Faction (got 2 t5 ships as well)

I have 3 sub factions at rank 12, 1 at rank 11, 2 at rank 9

Unfortunately at my time there are hardly any t4+ games, but T3s a filled up to 12v12 most of the time

I have six T4 ships, at almost 1600 battles.  The highest subfaction I have is Techs to R10.  I’ve mostly ignored it for a long time for multiple reasons.  I focused on Katana S to get four slots, the devs pissed me off with the reaching R12 gets four slots BS, when before it was R12 on loyalty.  I was a week away when that his.  Katana S got me two slots.  I ditched my Spirit and went credit ships until T4.  My Ricasso was one level short so I figured I’d get it to T4 as well.  Jericho guards I took from R7 pre synergy to R10 with synergy.  The sixth is a Grizzly, more for Fed implants than the ship.  I only had two months with a license since the end of May.  I have five Jericho T4 ships, only one not Jericho.

WTF to the point of xxxx you!

It depends on how long T3 is dead in the Americas.

I haven’t given cash to them since July.  I’m waiting to reward.  As for buying ships, if you have a ship of that class in that tier, it should come unequipped!  Let me remove modules from one ship and move them to another!  Empire ECM or Jericho ECM, the modules are the same!  Otherwise we have to sell modules at an extreme loss.

I haven’t reached that point, but posts are easy.  You can stop reading a thread in 5 seconds notice.  A match might require 15 minutes of available dedication.

Rank 10 in what faction? 

On the screen he has: 7 Empire/15 Federation/ 5 Jericho

I guess PvE ftw
