A necessarry change - perhaps even a bit overdue - but it seems as though you've now taken away one of the key reasons people go to Deep Space without replacing that reason.


I know on Kettemore at least, Deep Space is empty enough - this change will just make that worse. People want rewards for doing difficult things - even if they're silly rewards, like badges. How about making the Star Destroyer and the Rebel Station dropa few pieces of high-quality high-end loot? It's a difficult task, I admit - trying to make the destruction of the STD and the Rebel Station worth the effort without over-rewarding those who can solo it - but I think something like a few pieces of high-level space loot would be a good start. Nothing players couldn't get elsewhere, but it'd simply be MORE likely to get those pieces from the STD or Rebel Station.


The truth is, many people won't do something in an MMORPG unless there's SOME purpose, even if that purpose is relatively trivial. But right now, there's NO incentive to go up and blow up the STD or the Rebel Station other than to claim you did it.


Please, don't let Deep Space remain as barren as the ground-game battlefields were when they were turned on. It has much potential, it just needsa few small tweaks - namely another PvP damage reduction and a few small incentives to go there - to realize that potential. This is the only real content we Aces have, and I find myself logging in less and less because there's simply nothing to do in space anymore. With a couple of changes, Deep Space could be made very inviting without making it potentially unbalancing.


I hope you consider what I've said. But once again, thanks for these changes - they were quite necessarry.

I'm sure some of the player base will thank you for this latest hotfix; however I will not.

I haven't been able to play this game with any satisfaction since Publish 11.5 made its infamous debut. And the more complaints I see about sorting discrepencies the less I see feedback about it. Crafting is abominable now. Today I was finally able to "break code" so that my crafting macros would work again after three one-hour sessions of testing schematic numbers one-by-one. It seems to me after a long invetsigation of your new sorting strategem that there in fact is not a choice available to sort by schematic number as before the last publish.

As a result I have lost most motivation to play this game seeing how my character is mainly focusing on crafting as of right now. I thought for sure that this would be the next addressed hotfix but alas it isn't.

This is my /bug. Please fix it, so that I can enjoy this game again.

I have to say that I was almost happy to see the fix for the Rebel space station and the Star Destroyer. But droping the credit drop is extremely weak. It should drop ubber credits but take a grp of 15 to take it and have the credits devided. No no one will ever bother with them again. DO you think they will?

The deep space change is to fix exploitability of these targets. However IMHO that should be done a bit different way. As it was said it means the reward become irrelevant, for the most impressive target in space. Instead, you could modify the escort around station, so it would prevent suicide runs, so you would have to suppress them to be able to run for it. Or just remember people doing suicide runs and attack them first.

Just my .02.

I agree with all the posters about the deepspace.... there is no motivation anymore to take it down.... 20k loussy credits... I don't even come out of my house for that.


In other MMORPG bosses drop a reward... a reward that is worthwhile to take down the boss no matter how difficult. You seems to lack that kind of imagination.


Anyway... like my previous poster... still crashing on regular basis, the crashes has been reduced though.... but still crashing!

Forget what I said about lesser crashes... 2h playingtime 3 crashes.


So in my opinion you didn't fix anything once more

Why not fix the mission for Privateer smugglers alliance from the npc nirame in dath : capture valarian freighter, so all us privateers can make master
and visit this deep space? AT the moment is not possible to master pilot forSA privateers we can not bypass this misison and be trained.

Ever since the new update patch, I've been getting more crashes, heh, guess thanks for trying.

I am going to have to say this new inventory management a-z crap is one of the worst publishes to hit the game. From inventory, to looting, to crafting, to surveying, gathering hides, you name it this is crap.


Crafting:


If you keep a fair amount of resources in your inventory you sooner or later get everything perfect, and adding replacing a resource doesn't ruin your setup, now it screws everything up.


Surveying:


Now I have to search my entire inventory before I find what I'm looking for, then click it..surveying just got horrible.


Looting:


What did I just loot? I don't know because I select the loot all and don't waste time clicking everything.


Creature harvesting:


Ever kill a lair and loot one of each and see whats the best to gather? Well know its annoying.


And lets not even get started on the whole /search for draftschematic now..this is plain stupid on your part.


Whoever decided this publish was a great idea needs to be whacked in the head with a 2x4 and beat silly while they are down for the count. Undo this horrible "We hate our customers so we want to screw up there playing time by screwing up their inventory"


Not many are happy with it and I for one sure in the hell aren't.
