In Starfleet Command when I played there was a ranking system. The 2 players that were involved went to the site and posted if they won or loss. Its just a matter of people being honest and posting there wins and losses. Maybe have a few people witness that way it keeps the honest people honest.

I have no experience with it so I would not be of any help.

Here are some suggestions good or bad you decide.

They could add complexes in the game. Like an indoor dungeon that corps could fight for control over. Maybe have special items you can buy in the complex, or better mining, or whatever. This is just a few suggestions, but let there be a point in having control of entering it. Have it be fought over like how a terminal is fought over, but with less time.  Whatever corp owns it can enter it for that set time period. Other suggestions better then mine could probally be made. I am good with ideas just not implementing them.


If anyone is good with making webpages, there could be a ranking system where 2 people could choose a mech or bot class and dual. Have some  other people witness it then have the people involved in the dual post there win and loss in the ranking system. This would be sort of like the arena, but player made. You would have a win loss ratio in the system.  This could be done any time in the game without there being an arena. Someone could call someone out in chat.  Like I challenge you to a dual in the assualt bot of your choice. 

There needs to be more variety to missions, and not always the same ones all the time. If you don't have a mining character then doing the same best pay mission all the time really gets stale after a while. 

There should be only 1 alpha island with all  main race Terminals on it.  Maybe make it a little bit larger then the other islands to accomodate the people that would be playing on it. This would also promote newer players playing together no matter the race they play. This would lead to easier grouping for people starting out.

Each beta island should have a point to it like one island have the best mining a certain ore, or best npc spwans etc. This or have it change up every so often.

These are just a few suggestions like them or hate them there they are. If I think of any more I will post.

Thanks you Kaldenines.

Finally someone is understanding what I was meaning. I was just suggesting it for everyone and not just a new player as it makes it fair for everyone. If you just give new players that, and not have the option open for everyone I think that would not be right.

I am around the 2 month stage so I am doing ok right now, but I know it would have helped greatly. I would not have felt like there was no point in even playing for the first 2 months. This game is very different from the lvl up system. 

Maybe a payment plan for extra ep was not the best way to get the suggestion going. Your idea sounds really good. Have the option available to everyone that does the training missions after subbing. So everyone would have the option after doing the training missions of having increased ep for a certain period of time.

I was just throwing out the 55k ep as 2 options so someone that was not sure about playing , or was on a tight budget would probally be able to afford $10. Then later they could add the $20 one if they decided they really wanted to keep playing.

-1 No buying EP with NIC or money , its game breaking and loses sense of progression. What's this obsession with EP, you just need to wait. I had loads of fun as a low EP player and only 6 islands sometimes more than I do now.

Celebro,

I am not suggesting it be avaliable any time.

Most people that I have talked to say that its takes at least 2 months for a new player to get ok with anything in the game. It would just speed it up by a month. 

If those 50k EP mean nothing - then this topic means nothing either

Annihilator,

It would mean something for a new player starting out as they would get a little extra ep for help in a corp or anything for that matter. Just starting out myself I know it would have helped a great deal. As I said I am fine with the progression. Its just a suggestion thrown out. Like it or hate it, it does not matter to me as it was just a suggestion.

Scyylla's post still cracks me up that was funny.

If this fail idea came from the top of your head then please cut off said head to save us further BAD ideas....

The ability to buy EP goes against the "progression" over time system this game has. I highly suggest going to Staples for your official EASY button.....

Scylla,

Thanks for the laugh.
LOL 55k total  EP = The WIN and the Staples EASY button.
If you say so....

I am fine with the progression over time system, all I was suggesting was a little jump start. Most games you have to buy from the store at $30 to $60, and get a free month of play time.  I know this is a little over a month for the ep I suggested. Hell bring down the total EP bought a little then. As I was saying it would be an optional thing even for vet players.

also, that 40K EP request up there sound fishy... thats what EA accounts got as bonus for pushing the first € into the DEVs wallets, taking the risk of paying for a game that has an uncertain future.

Annihilator,

I am not sure what you are alluding to here, but the numbers were just from the top of my head. I have no idea about anything EA.


Yes the 20k ep is a good start for a trial account. I was not talking about trial accounts in the original post, I said only for paying accounts. I am not sure why people keep talking about it for trial accounts.

Also, I was not talking about pay to win I was talking about a 1 time payment. Only 1 time not more then one time. Let me say again just one time.

It more or less would be a little boost for people who first start playing the game or for anyone for that matter. I just think it would help out new players to be more well rounded. That is if they decided to buy the ep.

I remember coming into the game when all other players had 6+ months more EP than me.

It was fine, more like a right of passage. Spend your EP wisely and you can be effective from day 1.  Group up with some people with higher EP.

Best advice I can give.

I think if more EP is given to new players, it should be for free not at a cost.

Sundial
I am comming into the game when other players have a year or more EP then me. Really I am not worried about what other people have EP wise. I am in a good corp, and alliance so grouping with people with higher EP is no problem.

I think I have spent the EP pretty wisely, but it would help if it was an option. I mean right now I am half way decent with assualt bots, but my mech skills are pretty crummy. I can do more dps with the assualt bot then the mech. I only have one account so it could give me a little extra EP to spend if I wanted to do mining, artifact scanning, or just any type of trade skills in general.

I could dual box, but I would much prefer just to play on one account. I know alot of people have multiple accounts, but I have never really been into doing that in any games. I am ok with waiting for ep to gain. I am not complaining about it, just throwing out a suggestion as it would help new players alot.

I am ok with giving a little extra money to the people who make the game as it is pretty unique as mmo's go. I know there is EVE, but I am liking this game better.

Also, thanks for the advice.

Just a suggestion for a 1 time option to buy 15 k of ep for $10 , and an option to buy 40k ep for $20. All total it would be 55k of ep if you bought both options which would be a little over a month of training time. Only for paying accounts and not trial accounts.

It would help newer players greatly, and if any vets wanted a little extra ep to get that one skill to a 10 it would help them also. I think it would help newer players out the most, but it should be avaliable to everyone.

Just a suggestion and no I am not suggesting a cash shop or anything like that. It would just be a one time thing. I think it would help newer players out more then vets, because newer players have to train up more skills getting started and it would let them maybe max a skill or get some more much needed skills to a 5.
