Why does it take this many players voicing discontent before something is done?
I’m glad the camera is getting fixed, but for crying out loud, are we going to have to riot every time we want something changed?

Gathering enough information to make an informed decision takes time, as does constructing a proper solution to address concerns. Voicing your opinion is encouraged, though please be patient as the team gets around to all these messages.
It has only been a day.
Java, which planet is that on?
Anyway think some calm constructive suggestions would get more consideration than “SUPER RAGE!!!” posts, so I’d put some of my thoughts up for consideration.
The rest are tough enough to take a decent amount of pounding, and time should be back to 2 sec for reaction time to activate specials like MWD or cloak. Increases inty survival if that was what was aimed for.
Older guys can swap undamaged ships, but new guys only have a few that once locked out, freezes their account.
That system was rather nice.
It is anti-human nature, to show good items, then break it in front of people. I recommend the old system instead but if Gaijin needs Gold spent, I would reverse the looting, instead of good loot where you pay to have it broken in front of you, pay 1 GS instead to reroll the “No Loot” result, maybe even with a slight bonus to item finding chance. In this case, even a “No Loot” result isn’t that depressing and also a chance for a better result. 1 GS may not sound like much, but it all adds up.
Leave recon intys with one gun and change the missile armament to twin rocket packs might be an interesting change, a ship which uses rockets as the main weapon instead of a gun would be an idea for a totally different playstyle, one that suits the inty hit and runs, and the ammo limit means it really has to be careful about when it wants to get into fights.
Recon inty are the most useless ship from the 0.8 on…Flying them just mean zero fun!
I dont get the hatred for that patch…
The Nuke-Spam seems to be a little reduced but still is annoying and the perspective is a no go, but that will be fixed.
All in all the Ships seem to be more balanced, which is a good thing (im having fun in an ECM-Inty now, thats great).
The new loot system is a joke tbh. I like the idea but 10% chance to get that item and ONLY a 33% chance to get it with GS? Really?
Dont expect anyone to pay GS for that Devs, if I invest Gold I want to be SURE that I get that Item! But not that way.
Why dont u make a few more options, like 10% Chance = Free, 33% Chance = 100k Silver, 66% = 1 Mio. Silver, 100% = Gold

That sounds more like it. Thumbs down on the new loot system from me anyway, but if you’re going to keep it at least these kind of chances would be less sadistic. Heck, even changing the current chances to 33%/100% would be better than dangling purples in front of me when I only have a 30% chance of walking away with it even if I pay.
lottery is a big thing in korean FTP games. I guess it is making inroads here.
Indeed, but I’m not sure why they would think this is a good idea. Western gamers recoil in horror when they read about games like ZT online.
Camera — Unhappy with it, but not complaining yet
Haven’t had the ‘honor’ of seeing how bad the camera angle was; I only managed to login after it was fixed’. Much as I like to see the little turrets move from side to side, I like the old camera much more. Fed frigates have huge behinds that can easily obscure vision. And while Jericho frigates are flatter, I can’t see if anyone’s shooting at me from above or below, thanks to their shield shape that literally shields them from view.
Engineer Frigates — Like it, but don’t quite get the new utility function
As much as I hate to lose two turrets on my beloved ship, I’ve gotta say that this puts the engineer frigate properly where it’s supposed to be: a support ship, not some kind of damage dealing monster. I also like the way the drones automatically deploy. But what I don’t get is the utility function: by overloading my drones, do I heal ONE or MULTIPLE allied ships? Pray pardon this grammar xxxx for nitpicking. Apart from that, I can’t tell of my allies are within range of my drone’s healing, should I choose to use it. Perhaps a counter on the HUD could help? (I would also say that it’s difficult to tell quickly if I have one or two drones, due to the camera angle and the time it takes for the drones to pop into view during their orbits, but I’m not complaining yet.)
**Fading to Black (****Mac Bug) **— Unhappy about how it’s still not been fixed
This has been unsolved for too long. I’ve had enough ramming my ships into obstacles I cannot see because my screen keeps going completely dark every now and then.
Loot System — The crap is this???
It’s plain bad. I’m not even going to talk about the drop rates. Humans are loss adverse, so please stop showing me stuff that you’re going to take away. Dear devs, if I had nothing else better to do I would send you videos of me navigating to the DLC purchase page, then reversing my decision to buy at the last moment. If a public outcry was needed to get the camera angle (somewhat) fixed, I’ll contribute to the public outcry to have the loot system corrected.
Long Range Frigate Modules — Happy
The EM scattering field is much, much sweeter. The Overcharge module is finally useful for me; at least half my torpedoes can benefit from added damage.
It’s happened - I lost my first Experimental piece of loot, and the feelings of injustice were immense. It does not make me want to keep playing this game.
I know the developers are never going to listen because their contempt for us is well known by now, but…
STOP PUTTING HIDDEN UPDATES INTO THE GAME!
If you had announced a week ago ALL the changes you intended to make, not just the “ship balance” ones, you could have seen the coming storm and done something about it.
This is a lesson it seems you are incapable of learning…
Recon inty are the most useless ship from the 0.8 on…Flying them just mean zero fun!
But i like the recon inty, They are very fun annoying other frigates(halv their shield/hull regen) and tacklers (No more invisible man)
Thanks for the feedback and try to stay calm.
We will try to adjust the camera.
Please don’t “adjust” it, but roll back the camera change completely.
We liked it the way it was, there was no reason really for devs to have spent time, effort and money on fixing something that wasnt broke.
Just roll it back and use your time on something that actually improves the game.
Hey guys! I found another hidden update!
The new equipment menu system no longer allows you swap gear off of one ship and onto another! So now when I try to kit out my ships the game fails to mention I have blue / purple tier guns I could be taking off of vessels not in use and reusing them.
Does anyone else think the game is working on a “one step forward, two steps off a cliff” model?
The bug of the party limit has been fixed? I mean, CAN we NOW make a full party without need the premium? As it has been said many times from ADMIN it was a bug that was going to be fixed… i can’t find it on the list (or didn’t found by myself)

This has been fixed last week.
I am a Beta Tester and have Been an Alpha/Beta Tester a very long time. My reviews have been published and currently still being published on Gamespot.com mmorpg.com mmobomb.com PC Magazine and Cnet just to name a few. I was all set and ready to compose a new First Impressions of this game to see how the players liked the new patches and what this game has to offer to help drive more people to this game. I logged into the game and Live Streamed what people were saying and flew a couple missions with over 5K+ Viewers and The comments from the Live Stream were not in this games favor. The main comment was about the New loot system the developers had installed. I gave them the Benefit of the Doubt and had a couple green items chose the 10% free option and they both broke. So I decided to Choose the 30% Option on a couple purples that had come up and they still broke. The Comments on the Live Stream were so Negative about the loot system and camera I actually had to stop the Live stream. I am holding off on Live Streaming this game and writing a review to give the Developers a day or two to fix the issues. From what I have seen the ratings on this game today from the 50+ quality review sites your average score is 4.5 out of 10. I truly hope you can bring this together fairly soon. I give this game 3 months more to live then your population will dwindle out. I have seen this many times. This game could be amazing with a huge population draw with a good income for your business, but first you must listen to your customers who are spending the money to support your game. So far my review of your game is a 4.7 out of 10.
Finally! Someone from the press is speaking up!
Since none of my (or other player’s) comments over the last few patches seemed to matter in the developer’s eyes, hopefully some critical press feedback will do the trick.
I keep my fingers crossed, since I really love the handling of the ships and spaceship-dogfight-games in general and atm there just isn’t any alternative out there.
Just to freshen up my personal list of things that (still) need to be fixed:
Grinding still feels like a chore and is no fun at all because the progression is just too slow (although I AM a premium player with license and steam DLCs)
Option to buy “naked” ships without any preinstalled modules is still missing
The frigate camera just su cks. Sorry, there is no other word for getting your FOV cut in half
Loot system is terrible. Everybody knows that if you hand a kid a candy and then snatch it away the kid will cry.
The high cost of changing implants is still a pain in the butt.
Regular ISK reward for “normal” loot is still way too low.
Mixing tiers is a bad idea. It always was, it always will be!

THIS +1
The new extraction is really a crap… the success rate is only 1 item every 1.000.000
change it back or do something different than this…
