Spark Teleport is the new Navigation.

Downgrade cost should absolutely be linked to ep amount.

This goes hand in hand with my idea of having the full respec cost scale with the amount of EP you have. I think a full respec option could stay as long as it cost more to respec for some1 with 3 mill EP compared to one with 500k EP.

How long time before they teleport then? Maybe if you kill em fast enough in the pit? tongue

Maybe the price for a EP-reset can vary depending on how much EP you have? Like 3 million EP 50 bucks. 300 thousand EP 5 bucks. Or something like that. You get the picture at least.

On this I would suggest reducing that to 1000 per day and 1500 with the boost.

Apart from 1440 being a *** stupid number if you don't know why 2100 a day is lots and will cap out p quick if you don't bring in new shizzle

You must realize that this would give all the existing players a considerable and unfair EP advantage. Much more than what their time when they started to play means.

Amen to that Zoom. I'm amazed that some vets still seems to feel threatened that new players can get some EP faster if they wanna. You guys can still keep the gap to these guys if you buy boosters as well, and then every1 will be happy. Drop this ball and move on now. It's a superb change that will make new players throw cash at the boosters and make AC finally earn some money that they maybe can invest in new manpower etc and we might all benefit from this in the long run. Best thing all together with the new payment system if you ask me. On the reset EP-thingy I would make it cost as much as the game. ~30 bucks. Then it won't be abused.

OK. Well, have they payed for 14 accounts then I guess they are allowed to. But good luck running 14 accounts at the same time. tongue

I have paid for 14 and can run 14.

nbs

Sure won't be easy when peeps come hunting you. Good luck with that. With more peeps ingame you can't do that all alone for to long without some1 noticing. But your entitled to do it. So do it. You should feel good about yourself. Sitting there on a NASA computer running 14 accounts at once. tongue

Edit. Why any1 would pay for 14 accounts is beyond me though.

I have seen 100 accounts mining ice in Eve, and they have to pay every month (not here soon), god knows what could happen here, some thought should be given to this though.

100 accounts here would double the active accounts here. Almost. I would say that's a win compared to now. tongue

with this business model you really need to look at what your game does about resource gathering and risk otherwise its alts online. Liquid mining spots and alpha 1 and 2 mining in general need to be reqorked pretty fast. I can have 14 riveler mk 2's out there post april 2nd for zero a month. God knows what a serious macro guy could do.

But one would have to buy 14 accounts to do this. Then get those 14 accounts up EP-vice to use those bots etc. I don't see a problem with this compared to how it is now? Or am I missing something here?

That guy and Peanut both have the ability to do it.

Yeah, but how is it any different from now? If some1 buys 14 accounts now, and boosters on top of that, and lvl *** up. Fine. Let them. If peeps could do it in the past like Jita, why not new players?

Also sad to read old vets "threating" to leave due to some of these changes like boosters and resets. This will bring in alot of new blood to the game, and that's what this game needs the most. If you can't stand new peeps getting into the game, then maybe this wasn't for you... roll

Several meaning 2? Then no you can buy ICE now and that will make it 3 months and u should be fine

Ohh, no. More then 10.

I love these changes, and it also adresses some of my and others concern with the EP gap. At least new players can do a EP boost to speed things up. I think you've balanced it all perfectly. Well played DEVs. Well played... I now have hope for the future of Perp. big_smile

Perhaps, for the sake of simplicity, the modules that draw aggro should only be guns?

That could add some interesting game-play dynamics as well such as running away and getting NPCs to aggro your aggressors etc.

I would go for this. Things that go "boom" should draw attention. Nothing else in my book.

Edit. Quoted Tux for some reason first. tongue

Yeah, I don't get this nerf to sparks either. Traveling alone in this game is the most mind numbing thing, and makes you wanna hit the screen outa frustration some times. Whoever thought this was a good idea should have his balls lcoked in a vice...

w00t!!! Hope it all goes well!!! When will you hit steam after this?

Edit. But gamma won't be wiped at this stage?

I have no clue who this Styx guy is. But any1 that cheats, and gets caught cheating should be banned. Should be ZERO tollerance for shiiiit like that. Always. If "the other side of the story" cheated as well, then I hope they were banned to. If they didn't cheat. Well tough luck for this Styx-guy.
I guess making a new character is the only way for him to get back. And since the EP-GAP ain't a issue, and he as a vet should know this, he can easily get back on track and up to par with the rest of the vets in no time... fuuu
See what I did there? cool

The only thing I've done upon my return is stock up assets. If they take that away feel free to reimburse me with the time I've spent collecting it. Stupid idea. Why not wipe characters etc while we at it then? Well cause some peeps here are butthurt, and a item wipe to them sounds like a victory. So... Hell no!!!

I've said it many times over, and I agree with you Fini, and also like your suggestion. But it seems they won't listen to these suggestions at this stage, and it worries me. But I can only hope to be proven wrong. Alot of vets don't think it's a problem, and think new players should stick with it or "gtfo". I think there is room for changes like the ones you suggest, and have more peeps stay and play this wonderfull little game longer. I would have liked to see something like this before steam release, but I don't know if we will ever see this. And I'm afraid it could hinder this game from really taking off. But who knows... It sure hasn't been taking off yet with the system we have at least.

Here we go again. tongue But this IS a problem for many new peeps. Hate to say so. And it will come more peeps like him once steam hits.
But I would stick around and play the game. It's still worth it. And as they say. You can get into a heavy mech within a month.

I'm starting to think it's a good idea again. tongue

First I thought "NICE!!!", then I read peoples argument and I went "BAD!!!"...
