Thread: Tomo, you REALLY need to forward this to the Devs:
I mean, you'd think the Blacksun fighter fleet would be completly disappeared by now, with the amount of ships that have been sent to that big airfield in the sky.
HOw this for one thing being able to buy with all those extra prestege points uber sub components for a the parts shipwrights make. Also for shipwrights like me being able to buy skilltapes for us.

Letting us buy Uber JTL crap with prestige points would be a start.
Unfortunately, that won't win many points with SWs.
...unless you could buy select KSE discs as well.
I'd trade prestige for the ability to stop getting disk 7. At least for a little while. I've only been a SW for a few weeks, and I already have 4 disks. One 5, and three 7s.

I'm not fed up with flying...I'm just trying to see the point of it, and when I start thinking stuff like this, it's usually a scant few weeks before I START getting "fed up." I know this is thread #45,493,283 on the subject, but we don't need more space content in a few months, we need it NOW, man.
Simply put - new ships and duty missions aren't content - they're appeasement. They're a step in the right direction, but they're not content. We wouldn't have gotten jack had Ep3 not come along. Capital Ships are gonna be nice, but again, new ships doth not equal-eth new content...eth.
I mean, seriously - a "professional pilot" nowadays can make about 500k-1 million per night flying duties, and that's not even pushing it. You probably could make more if your brain didn't start to come out your nostrils after about Duty Mission #7. With inspiration buffs, you can cap faction now in DS in less than three days from a relative bottompoint. I personally went from ~47k to 120k in three nights, and it wasn't a continuous grind.
But once you have these credits and faction points, what's there to spend them on? Once you get a good enough ship, pretty much everything you earn is pure profit, for the most part. The ground game holds little to no interest to me anymore, even though I'm CL80 with a pretty solid melee template (which might be part of the problem since melee's gimped right now).
If I make a minimum of 500k per night, by 9/27/05 (my 2yr anniv.), I'll have roughly 90 million credits (barring minor expenses). And that's just 500k, note I said earlier than pulling in a mill-plus isn't that much more difficult.
But what am I going to do with it? And please, no "/tip it to me" replies. This post is meant to be serious.
Besides, my main objective right now is to best all your best REs, especially Tomo's L6. I've already got the best L10 weapon, now I'm trying to get the best L6 and L8 engine, L7 and L8 weapon, and best reactors and capacitors in the game. But after I do that, WHAT THEN?

Agree 100%.
I have successfuly done each of the 3 new tier 5 duties atleast 5 times each. I have gotten all the new ships I am allowed to have. Right now I am biding my time by space mineing, helping folks with there space missions or just farting around with the tier 5 dutys.
Even if they add capital ships or make POB ships viable to use, what is there to do in them?
We need more epic adventures like the trip from novice to master epic.
We need a difficulty switch. The new tier 5 dutiesare still useing the old sitting duck AI, the only challange is the gunboat and nova encounters. The reward should match the dificulty. I know they have a way harder AI, I have seen it and I loved it, The enemy would actualy try to kill me.It was in the game for 1 week then they took it out to pander to the skill less pilots.

Pardon me for saying so, but this sounds a lot like a "what have you done for us lately" post. Keep in mind that content grows from the bottom up, and every month since release has seen some form of content. Just because it's not content for you at your level doesn't mean it's not content. Call it appeasement if you want, but it doesn't change the facts. Something new has been added to space every month since release. Even if it was just a minor space/ground mission that they never bothered to tell us about, it was there. Let me repeat this; something new has been added every month.
High end stuff like the FRS, the Corvette, and the DWBdidn't get added until the game was nearly a year or more old. Space itself is an addition to the ground game deliberately delayed so the ground content and economy could support it. Fast adopters have always had more faction and cash than they knew what to do with, because they've been ahead of the curve, it's not a symptom of a new problem.
In other words, I guess I'm saying get used to it. Until months go by where nothing is added to space, I'm gonna continue to feel that these cries of Dev neglect are just bored whining. Complain about bugs that need to be fixed, don't complain about lack of content.
QFE
Bugs first!
Destroy all bugs
Then let us have a space expansion that would be awsome!!!!!!!!:smileyvery-happy:
