I know exactly how you wish to fight.  I know what you want out of the game. 

I would, however, rather actually take care of the problem and not put a small band-aid on it.

Your jumping at the chance of change just for the sake of change.  Not taking a step back of what you think you want and what is needed to fix the problem.

Now you have it, with no change, and were starting to back pedal saying it is enough, when in fact very little has changed at all. 

I would rather not settle for mediocrity when I can strive for greatness.   Especially, when the time to fix the issue at hand is NOW, unlike when more people come into the game.

Stop, Think, Take some time, and do this correct.


There has been some good ideas how ever your ppl keep saying the current mechanics are fine and nothing wrong whit it.   

At this point after all this time saying stp is broken this change is better than the broken that we have right now.
There are many things wrong whit this game that gives players no reason to go to beta/gamma and whant to risk their bots for no gain.

The point now is that it gets tedious to take all the betas like u have for the last 9 months.
Its also your side that keeps complaining abouth no pvp after patch and im pointing out the current state of pvp were there is barely any...

Maybe I'm not making this clear enough for you.  What i am trying to say is this:  Either remove SpT all together, and re-build the tele system and tele beacons for easier transport.  Or leave Spt system intact.  A half-assed band-aid is not gonna solve anything. 

I would like to point out a major flaw in the incoming system.  With 10 sparks tokens, we can still spark to 3 beta islands.  which means within about 5 mins we can still be anywhere, on any island.  The change that is coming has not fixed anything.  Do you see what I'm trying to say?

Fix the problem, or leave it alone.


I still dont think u acualy see whats wrong whit the current one......

That u can place 3 alpha sparks yes thats true.  No one said it was perfect but alot better than what it is now.
You still have to move out to the outpost or sap u whant to deffend  and u cant stream ppl out from outposts as ppl log in when a fight takes place...  u know those that whants to come to the fight will acualy have to spend some time moving to it.....   

I still think Gamma needs to have 3 points but w/e a change is a change for the better.

And yes WALKING palces are good for the game.

Did i say it has?  Instead of trying to make stupid quips and slights you might try reading what was posted.  This patch has not changed the fact that your side is still at a massive disadvantage.  Your numbers have not increased to the point where you equal just STC, not even counting the other 4 corps. 

Let me explain like your 5.

This has done nothing to fix the problems you say exist.  it just makes the game more boring and tedious.

This statement alone sums up the whole arguement, and that is exactly why SpT was broken, you COULD protect some OP that you didn't really even want because it was easy to do so.

The over arcing point of all of this is that people kept screaming that it will increase PVP.  It will in fact decrease it, because now we are going to be defending fewer stations then we were before.  The useless islands will be completely written off.  The only way this will not occur is if there is an influx of returning or new players to take up the unused stations and space.  <---  this wont happen FYI

This change wont help PVP, it will make PVP harder to come by, because now, you have to weigh the option of going on a roam to some OP that will take 20-30 mins to get to, with a significantly higher chance of no one being there to defend it.  The losing side, will still *** and moan because we will still be able to spark into our OP's and engage them.

This is all pointless talking now because the patch is coming.  But, I will say what everyone is hoping for, will not occur.  What is going to happen, is people like 62nd (or whatever the hell you call yourselves now) will come for about a month.  Take a station no one is defending.  Get utterly slaughtered when we come for PVP, (they don't have Syndic to come to there rescue this time), and leave again.  Then, one of the major powers (Most likely our alliance, because there isn't really anyone with the competence to take and hold stations against a sustained assault by our side) will take it back and we will be in the same position we are now, except the people who do remain will now have to walk everywhere.

Not really. big_smile

It's still feasible to have all of the Betas covered.

Sure on all alpha 2s   but the change here is u still have to move out there from alpha you know not instaspawn at some palce and then instaTP out again

You might place 3 sparks at each Outpost but ur still not geting what we whanted changed the most  the wole sparkaround the world in less than 10 sec witch means that once we know were ur sparks are atleast it gives us some tactical choices.

Im still for cooldown because the new change still have alot of sparking abillites

If you really was needed "a ROOM to have and grow", you could try diplomacy. You preferred to solve it in a military way. Either ninjaing or direct attacking, you've failed. Then SUDDENLY this thread got created and you whined here so much that Zoom got annoyed and decided to throw a change to get everyone finally shut up.

Yeah, really, SpT was the probblem. It made you weaker, so you wasn't able to beat us. It made you sillier, so you wasn't able to achieve something with a diplomacy., Yes, definitely it was SpT.

After a patch, you'll probably get some non-significant OPs that we will not gonna protect anymore. But don't expect too much, there is something you're missing completely. Let's just wait, guys, let's just wait.


Whaaoow JUST Whaaaaaaaaaaow   

Your the LEAST smartest person iv ever seen.
Diplomacy???? lol yeah lets just make the wole server BE OUR *** so they can "take" a beta outpost.

Military way???  Your the bigest blobb on the server.    Just take a quick look around you do you see ANY other blobs out there?

Some times i think a bigger blobb needs to show your blobb how broken it is.  And dont give us this "then there will be conflict" crap...   yeah maybe for 1 week and then it all dies down because there isnt *** u can do abouth it when the blob can be any were instantly all the time whit no restrictions...

...a lot of people trying to explain you and others that SpT patch gives nothing. So this measures targeted only for the ppl, who are literaly whining and anoying on the forums. If DeV's busy on stuff, they really waste time, instead of doing really useful things.
Be honest - you are really interested just offend somehow the people who disagree with you (your opponents). You actually does not need that illusory balance. Because of balance presents always.

So far, noone asked DEVs help to achieve something in PvP, so you guys are absolute champions of this game cool


You havent exsacly achieved any thing ur self.
Current sparktp mechanics let 1 ruler judge who gets what and who takes what.   Its broken broken and bad and dont say its not and blame that pvp is not happening because of the new change its no secret...  no one is relly pvping any morre and ppl will leve once again if the current mechanics stays for sure.

With Colix and Mk2, make NPC on Gammas (maybe just observers) to drop cortexes.

i'm not against it but tbh thats kinda half the value of saps and artifacting. All it would do is drive the market price down

That's true, but with SpT changes there will be WAY lesser high-stab saps at all, not speaking about a possibility to get there in time which will result in cortexes become too rare.


Artifact scanning also drops cortex

Especaly Observer IIIs

What if they made a Areal Teleport jammer  witch wuld be a deployable structure (not as in acualy structure but like TPs)

Witch shuld block the use and dropping of teleports whit in a certan radius?

have module for targeted robots but again prolly be relly short ranged so we dont have ppl sniping whit teleblocks that be broke hmm

Make it a bit exspensive maybe? and add some hp but not as much as armored

42

(13 replies, posted in Feature discussion and requests)

Thats true but the idea was to not overpower the module by effectivly shut down exspensive teleports and the ability to block mass armys whit a single module.  wuld problably be morre balanced on single bots  this way it can be like a Demober.

Unless the module is relly relly exspensive and skill intensive or some thing like that big_smile

(13 replies, posted in Feature discussion and requests)

Well what if we keep the module away from targeting the teleport but insted target players?

this way u dont stopp teleports only the selected/targeted robot. 

obv whit this change range, fitting, AP/cycle time wuld need to be adjusted

I have an idea whit this change off teleport sizes what if we change all beta internal tp to Teleport beacons!
Meaning u can jump to it but not from it.   so once u jumped in u will have to fire up a nother tp to go back.

I dint think this tru...  at first it seem cool but i can see some problems whit it aswell yikes

Just an idea!

The devs shuld just remove the walking btw alpha teleports increase molecular (what ever the thing is called) so it takes longer to re jump saves evry one whit walking time might be alittle to fast maybe
Keep highways for outposts and stations

Altho some how i dont think its a good idea

Burial wrote:

First we should all figure out what the exact problems are and why.

If it's power projection then that can be guided from Alphas too. If it's detector sight seeing from Beta terminal then that aswell can be guided from Alpha meaning Alphas should be just as restrictive to Spark as Betas(but is it worth it?).

If devs think that newbies have too hard time getting and living on Beta then that sounds like a balancing issue.

Gunner wrote:

The point is players will have to choose, project power to beta or wherever vs. logistics sparks in gamma or wherever.

You have lost touch with the game. Most of the players I know do the Gamma stuff and logistics stuff to build bots and PVP. It's not particularily fun to sit on the fields and mine but you do what you got to do to compete.

What exactly makes you think they should choose between doing the necessity tasks(mining, production) and what the necessity tasks are for(pvp)? What you said basically gets repeatedly thrown around without anyone giving any solid explanations.


No one said the new mechanic was perfect but its a good step in the very right direction.

I think you have lost touch with the game.
The rest of us that dont have gamma bases do just fine on bulding on alpha i dont relly see the problem...
we even have to compete for those resources
Gammas have noraglis farm by 100s of plants protected by a wall of guns, bonused factory, CT labs, and Decoder labs and w/e else.   Not to mention abbility to place mining outposts near mineral fields that are good
and near 100% safety mining

Sure after epi changes Gammas arent as valuable as before but that does not mean SpT wasent Overpowered.

The defence rests its case

Lobo, you and some other have  maintained your subs, (Jita being another) but many posting in this thread have recently left the game, and return periodically. Also, your particular playstyle does not need many if any sparks at all.
Thats all Monkeys point was and you know it. The change will drastically affect some players but not others. And the voices for change are the ones unaffected. The main problem with this is you are *** everyone in game by this change, but not really affecting PvP and power projection which has been the entire point of this.

Say whatttt???

IF thats the case i been here sinse CLOSED beta yeah thats right CLOSED BETA and GUESS WHAT IM STILL HERE!!!!!!1!

We been playing all parts of this game DONT forget that!!!

We held betas we fught and built up we spent our hard time WALLING for hours and DAYs i remeber this like yesterday..

We also mined alot! and Fught CIR and any other alliance i can think off...
We even had our GAMMA and we even terraformed it!!
