It is free money! these ships won’t do anything anyway. Do you expect to win the same amount that playing but without playing?

 

Also, if you can send more than one mission (that I think you can) then you will be able to send a lot of ships. Afterall, the missions with full success rate doesn’t need you to fit the ships. You can send empty hulls and still win money.

 

And I saw there is a “recall” button, so in case you sent something you may need for whatever reason, you can just recall them and recover the ship.

 

It may be free, but we need fully equipped ships to do them; i have tons of ships, but most are empty shells because i sold their unused modules… I will have to waste lots of credits making those ships usable for the missions only to get minor rewards…

Fleet Assignments

 

I didn’t get some points. 

 

  • If I send a fleet, will they return just like I send or I will loose something?

  • So If send a ship clean (without the components even a gun), Still I have sucess on get reward?

This.

 

This is my reaction in most Tier 5 games and every single game of SecCon, which has led me to resolve that once I have my Secret Project Tackler, I will head out into Invasion and never dock again unless I am killed.

 

Create your own fun, amirite?

 

 

EDIT: Oh, and on the subject of not complaining about free stuff? Guess whose money they are using to develop this game? Money that players have given them because they like the game and want to see it get better. But instead of sinking that money into something like Dreadnoughts, they have spend gods-know how long developing this. A feature that takes away your ships and pays you next to nothing.

 

Great use of that money.

Until the day I die I will never understand people like you, Efefay.

 

This product has a problem. Many problems, but today we’re specifically talking about the problems with the new content.

 

Your response is to turn around and say “if you don’t like it, don’t use it!”

 

 

Here’s a parallel I’m sure many Americans will know well: Comcast. Comcast gives you xxxx service. They also hold a monopoly, and their attitude is “if you don’t like our xxxx service, don’t have internet!”

 

That attitude helps no-one. It doesn’t help customers, it doesn’t even help the business. Problems should be fixed. People who find problems should have a means to voice their concerns, and people with the means to fix problems should try to do so. The result is better for everyone; the consumer gets a better product, and the retailer gets better PR through word of mouth about their quality product and good customer service, which in turn encourages more people to become their customers.

 

As ever, the fact the Devs don’t communicate is the problem. I don’t know where this idea came from, but if they’d actually done what I and others have asked for MANY TIMES then it would have come out much better.

 

Namely, what should have been done is this:

 

  1. Dev Blog announcing plans for the content.

  2. Active efforts by the Devs to get feedback on what players think.

  3. Redesigning of content based on initial feedback.

  4. Second Dev Blog to check for anything stupid that’s been missed (like what happened with Sector Conquest and allowing Rank 5 pilots to fight ESB…).

  5. Redesign to remove anything stupid that was missed.

  6. Launch.

  7. Collect live feedback.

  8. Tweak based on how the content works in the live game.

 

Instead, we get…

 

  1. Launch.

  2. Disregard live feedback.

  3. Tweak. Or not. We don’t really care.

 

Jason, I agree with most of this and this is how the updates and patches should work.

The fact remains that it is the Dev/Gajin’s choice on how they want to proceed (To success or failure)

As it is our choice to pay or play. This is not a monopoly or a necessity. If we don’t like the game or the direction

it is our choice to not play.

 

Efefay (and the others) are correct in the fact that. It is SOMETHING (albeit small) for NOTHING . 

All but 8 -10 of my ships are used some of my ships have not been looked at since purchase to get to the ship I wanted. So I will

send them off for a while and get something in return. I don’t really understand the rage against free stuff.

 

I do agree that fixing other problems and issues without adding more crap should be much much higher on the list of things to do.

I just don’t really see a reason to complain about the free morsel.

65

I think its an idea, and I don’t mind the add.  I do agree that the time could have been spent on something better and i hope it is. I want dreadnoughts as much as the next pilot, but I don’t want them if they are broken.  I guess I will just keep hoping that they devs are working on that and getting it right but for now, introducing something rather than just fixes.  That is probably a requirement for each patch. Add new content of some sort.  I would rather have the devs working on fixing better content than always having to add new stuff but profit margins would be slim without constantly adding new things.

 

Either way, keep up the good work and I hope to see some Epic Content soon ^^

66

have to admit, the only thing killing this feature for me is,

 - 1500 warehouse size is getting quite crowded already if you have t3-t5 only;

 

rather less bothering, but still tied to this feature

 - that there are only two missions available yet (but its a start)

 - that its a single pilot thing (its a start!)

 - that there is no connection yet to something bigger; will others fight my little fleet somewhere in the future? (but its a start)

 - the rewards do not really justify the long waiting times

 - the GUI solution via missions

 

so while i clearly have no problem with this new feature, I think it’s only half way there.

I have to wait until midnight today to even see this new feature, anyway

 

Now about the good part:

The combat messages returned in new style, especially the background fading faster than the text: AWESOME.

67

I did all of my invasions, it did not help. I have no access to new missions as well

I have the same problem too, and I did all the mission, and X2… and… nothing, the new option doesn’t appear

68

I heard that people who logged in before patch was installed can`t see new missions. Wait until next x2.

Yes I am complaining about free stuff. My reason is:

 

This is a new feature unaccessible for new players, and worthless for veterans. Yet, some devs believed this was worth assigning development resource on that.

 

This show a lack of vision from the dev team and a waste of development. I’m sure a few players around here will be able to list a dozen stuff that should have been prioritized instead of this.

70

Well, this is great ! Now I can send ALL of my ship for days without playing while I wait for the server lag to be fixed… The same 3 servers are STILL plagued with packet loss. Man, i wish fixing the server would be a priority but, obviously, it is not and thats very, very disappointing.  :fed014:

this.

 

I’m not even going to bother using this stuff. That’s how bad it is. The nice thing is, nobady can go saying: well, the rewards are small, but they help newbies :stuck_out_tongue:

72

I’m sure a few players around here will be able to list a dozen stuff that should have been prioritized instead of this.

 

Dreadnoughts, Packet Loss, Secret Project Ships, Booster Bug, Incorrect Content Pictures on the Store Page, Group Prioritization in Invasion, Overhauling the worthless Mentoring System, Better Tutorials, Advertising, Linux Optimization, Macintosh Support…

 

And, yaknow, maybe it’d be nice if they took another look at ship customization to make it less money-hungry and give us more options. But since that doesn’t affect gameplay I’ll let it pass for now.

73

Servers are back up.

I am imagining you frantically clawing at the screen while the servers are down, then, hours later, you realize that they’ve been up for 15 minutes and you can’t see crap with your monitor. 

74

just got my missions at the latest login

you can send even empty ships on that. at least.

unfortunately, i had only two long time missions; some credits for that sound like a feature, which is not really there.

75

My missions don’t show up… Is there a way I can make that permanent! Can I make is so I never have to look at them or ever know they exist… How about that for next patch.

Or…

Spend a little more time fixing the LAG!

76

Patch isn’t that bad.  I imagine that they are still working on dreadnaughts, but wanted to keep trying to give us more things to do until the time comes to give the game more variety.  I honestly don’t think they would have spent an more than a day or two coding in a simple mission with slot machine rewards, there is no way.  I know its been forever since they’ve announced there will be dreads (I’ve been waiting anxiously too), but I’d rather them get it just right than release some glitched dreadnaught with cheap mechanics.  There is no need to explode on the devs for implementing something that is free and helpful in some way even if small.

 

Something I do wish they would fix that is a very important issue however, is improving the servers and advertising more afterwords.  I am waiting for that day where I can get instant ques with a squad of 4 into games with less than 50 ping much more than I am for dreadnaughts.

77

I’ll decide in two days. If I get monocrystals and graphite plates I’ll be happy. If I get metal blanks I’ll be a bit annoyed, but hey! free stuff is free stuff

And +1 to everything Jenkeze says.

78

I have purple everything in T3. I still have a xxxx time.

 

When I started playing this game, last year, I was excited. Every match I was in felt rewarding. Now? Every match I walk into, this is my reaction:

Yet you keep playing.

 

I don’t play because of Internet problems and lack of free time. But if you don’t enjoy it don’t play it. That’s why videogames are cool, because they’re a hobby, not a job.

 

I stopped playing when I didn’t enjoy it, and no, the “I’ve spent game here so I can’t just leave” excuse is not valid. When I came back I had fun again. And every time it became boring I just played another game.

Technically we already have dreadnoughts in the game, only Alien ones, but hey, there are!

 

Also, I can’t get missions either.

Which is what I’ve been doing.
