Re: - Spark Teleport - Power Projection - Now with poll!
I dont care about the travel layout.
If I want to move a group or a guy, I'll use Tellys and Interzones. The lower interzone price helps us here.
If it isnt worth the time or the money, then that is a CHOICE that I make.
Even projecting from Alpha is better than the current system as it is.
If I had my way, there would just be blood sparks like it used to be.
Prior to spt, perp felt like a large world and moving required decisions to be made about time and other concerns like, if we moved from Alpha, opponents have the opportunity to see you moving or disrupt or scan or whatever.
That simple thing, above, is a small example of an in-game movement that doesnt exist when people insta-project.
The difference Gunner is none if us are starting or pushing a forum campaign to drastically change the way you play, because we can't beat you in game.
Please tell me why a 5 minute cooldown and a 250k nic charge per spark tele would not solve 95% of your complaints.
Both you and Lobo have stated in the last few pages you don't give a rats *** about Gamma, so why are you pushing a change that *** Gamma? It will do very little to change power projection and PvP, you know, the original arguement for this topics. Even Zoom has stated he does not expect it to change PvP much ...
Then why do it? Before SpT the world was a 1/3 of its size. You cannot use that as a valid example.
Comparisons to EvE are not valid either, EvE with 7000 systems is 2000 times the playing size of Perp. A game changing mechanic still leaves lots of systems for someone to do their thing. Here, this change reduces the playability of a small area even smaller. But its perfect for you and Lobo and Balf who just want to shoot and roam.
Subscription games need their steady carebear subs, in EvE they are 85% of the revenue. Gamma is 2/3rds of the current available la d mass in perp. eventually players will move out and colonize, when players come. You guys are so worried about the Steam influx sparking everywhere, when the problem will be no noob will like or bother with the logistics required to settle Gamma. When I was in War with you many many new players hated all the teavelling back then. But hey, as long as you push a change that panders to your exact playstyle, *** the rest, right.
And Estamel ... Wut? When did I ever say my sub, or voice, was more important than yours? The point was those against the current SpT weren't actively using it. I don't lnow if you ate Kanogi, but I gotta say on comms Kanogi was far more reasonable than your responses so I will assume its aomeone else.
In the end I will play this game whatever the rules are. But I think this proposed change will do more to harm the game overall than help. My opinion.
