First off, thank you for playing our game, we are happy and proud that you are so passionate about it.
And again - we do have a suggestions section.
There will be improvements, but dates are unclear to me at the moment. I’m trying to get more info, and as soon as things will get clear I’ll try to inform you.
As pleasing as it is to have someone from the dev team read it, “suggestions” are only a part of the post, and not even the main one.
The core issue is to highlight a serious problem that stops the game from growing(or even makes it shrink, if the forums are to be trusted), and that’s best achieved on the board with the most traction.
Logged in just to rep the OP. This is a great summary of what is going on in the game right now as far as the economy and it’s psychological effects are concerned, as well as some great suggestions to fix the issues. Like (almost) everyone else on this forum, I want to see star conflict succeed. If the dev team really wants to improve the reputation, enjoyability, and overall profit of their game, putting the suggested changes outlined in this thread would be an amazing step in the right direction.
I have an entire thread for this. It’s not even that long. I know this may seem like spam/hijacking but could you guys check it out and just give it a yes or no? It’s basically a massive revamp of the looting system plus a little bit of crafting.
I honestly don’t mind how the currency system is set up. Granted some “Premium” things are a tad expensive. but i’d rather pay a few dollars here and there and get all update’s and new content “free” as the current model is then have to fork up 60$ for a game some people may not like and then have to pay for extra maps or dlc packs. Honestly if it helps this game grow so be it.
I figured i would never buy premium items but i took a chance and bought a T2 Neuron (jericho) ship and damn… with the right set up on that and i’m now up to 50+ resist on everything including shields/hull. and EM is highest at 80 people barely touch my shields. only problem i switched my implant from reducing missile damage to increased hull strength, which is good but one missile is gonna hurt. i have switched it back and i can take ALOT of damage before going down. sometime’s i honestly feel like i’m trolling the enemy as they just follow me and shoot me for a while and it probably take’s 2-3 on me at once to start over powering my systems till i die.
But as the currency system goes. I think for free it could be just a tad be higher. i mean i figure i usually make 60-80k as a free member in T2 matches, granted i do good. then if you use not premium ships you have not only repair costs but restocking costs. I’m almost positive the restocking missles will stay with the game since that’s how the store is set up. But possibly reduce the damage repair costs or just make no ships have them, or hell even make the payouts on contracts a little higher then 1500k… and that would even help. There is no way i could see myself farming up 9mill gold for end tier ships/equipment. god knows how much the module’s alone would cost. This game is great in the aspect of being a “Action space game” one of the only kind i’ve come across like this. Granted the game is made in russia and i don’t speak nor can read russian but just like any other game’s such as cod are translated for different languages, either Put in a auto translator or AT LEAST give us English only people the option to not show any russian people typing… as i can never understand what they are saying. And maybe do the same for russian players so they can block out the english players chat unless they want to have it in the game if they understand it. So far i could use google translate… lol… but i don’t think my keyboard has those letters on it lol.
Just some food for thought. 
Sorry if this is considered necroing.
The OP is just too good to not reply. He’s so right about the psychological aspect of the looting system. It feels like trickery. Instead of paying for getting more stuff, you have to pay for someone not to be so mean to us.
Meh. I’ve spent waaay too much money on league of legends and hawken, because their monetary systems are far better, and the game more rewarding and consistant. This? I’m starting to wonder why I play it after even just a week. I certainly don’t feel compelled to spend any money on it, as I do other F2P games (also including Firefall and Warframe). The Devs seem to fail when it comes to understanding what pricing is effective, and as a result, I’m not even interesting. It’s not that their GS rates aren’t fair, it’s that the GS itself is pretty damn worthless.
