NGS Quality of Life Changes

[worn elk]

I'd rather alliances stay as they are than become trash people are forced to interact with to stay up to date with the game. Non-alliance players and small alliance players should not become second-class citizens in the game.

As is, the only real loss from being in a small alliance is 2 or 4 Beta Reactors weekly - while this does add up to a non-trivial amount of N-Meseta over time, it is also relatively trivial in terms of effort to earn weekly (and maybe bonus alliance badges from people using your alliance mag).

I at most would only want to see an additional one or two flexible roles in alliances for Alliance CS Permissions and maybe recruitment.

I'll be honest, outfits without shoes is a scummy monetization strategy, but then half of the outfits that exist have outrageous shoes that make me want to gouge my eyes out. I'd prefer if using an outfit entitled you to a shoeless variation of the outfit as well but such is life. 

Shoeless outfits don't irritate me nearly as much as the Rev MTN/Emotes do though.

Great thoughts but they want you to keep it to one topic per post my guy i dunno how they're gonna translate all this lol

They absolutely do read it, but if you go into like 8 different topics in a single post you're only sabotaging your own feedback by making it hard to translate, which hurts the chances of it even getting sent to the devs

Breaking it out into separate topics means people can address specific points without it pushing the conversation to tangents/non-sequitors non-stop.

Just break it up into separate topics because it is some real "thats a big wall of text I aint reading that" kind of energy. Almost none of them are even related to QoL in my opinion.

Alliances do have a fundamental reason to exist - to facilitate people grouping up and playing together and perhaps having some shared identity.

I do not think alliances need more reason than that. I think alliances essentially being an always open group chat in-game is a good thing, because I don't think people should feel pressured into having to be part of some top x alliance and having to interact with people or drama that may exist in those spaces if they don't want to.

Alliance badges and the 1/3/5 weekly Beta Reactors already act as sufficient motivators for people to be in an alliance imo - further pressure is unnecessary and should be avoided.

I’m kinda with Meetch and Thanatonium on this one- there’s way too much in this “1 suggestion” which leaves it prone to more people commenting in disapproval than approval just since there’s some things they’ll dislike in it even if there’s things they also like in it

As for everything said, a fair bit of this feels a little short sighted unfortunately

Drop pools aren’t an easy thing to fix because making players drop “better” stuff more often / more easily can also result in said items being worth nothing since everyone can get it easily

New skills? Sure idm entirely but pretty sure many already struggle with the amount of skills / options they already have (look at controller Fi for example)

They’ve addressed the whole login in creative space thing before I think

New weapons / units more often helps stimulate the f2p augment market because players need to then get augments more often thus keeping augments from becoming too excessively cheap (It’s a blessing and a curse / a necessary evil)

I don’t think alliances should be a 100% necessary thing honestly- yes it should come with some perks but generally I’d argue it should mainly exist just to get people playing together more than anything

Revivals are a life saver if you want to get older items since, alternatively if items were never revived / brought back to scratches, idk if everyone would be happy paying 100m ~ 200m ~ 300m because stuff never comes back (and goodluck if your ship didn’t pull enough of the item you wanted now there’s just 0 in existence for you to ever get)

Point just being there’s too much stuff there to just say “I agree” or “I disagree”

TLDR, i think it's about drop pools
