Post [Done][Content] Pax Levitas and Pax Levitas Blueprint
This ship needs to be revamped, and I can see it is a very viable option for T21 Engineers, which means that it could work as a somewhat credit sink for those who can't get their hands on a Hephaestus Machine.

1. Up the drop rate to 1/100 from all Olympus bosses. I have no heard of a single blueprint drop since the competition when a few of them were handed out.

2. Fix the stats. Here are what I propose after having played around with the ship before, and played around a long time as a T21 Engineer with both T20, T21 low end, and T21 high end gear and multiple setups.

Pax Levitas
Tech 21
Freighter
Hull 1250
Speed 75
Augmenter Slots 3
Weapon Slots 4
Size 121
Weight 220 000

Laser Resistance 65%
Energy Resistance 60%
Heat Resistance 65%
Physical Resistance 65%
Radiation Resistance 65%
Surgical Resistance 65%
Mining Resistance 40%
Transference Resistance 0%

Visibility 202
Reflectivity 200%
Inbuilt Electricity 150
Improves: Energy Recharge 30%
Energy -15%
Critical Hit Resistance +10%
Drone Operations +5%

Inbuilt items:

Paxian Offensive Drone Booster - Super Special Secondary that is an aura which increases your drones with 20% better offensive stats for 10 seconds.

Paxian Defensive Drone Booster - Super Special Secondary that is an aura which increases your drones with 20% better defensive stats for 10 seconds.

Or any other inbuilt items that are useful for an Engineer.

I hope other people can agree to this as well as it is sad to see the amazing Paxian line of such symbolic freighters end in the completely unused Pax Levitas :)

It is a pretty sad ship for the cost/rarity.

95 speed, and make the auras go back and forth on a timer so you don't have to hot key them, maybe like 30 seconds per aura with a 10 second cool down time in between.

I don't think oly ship bp's should be upped to 1/1000. Just means that all the teams who haven't yet been able to do oly on their own .. aero for example, won't have much of a chance of getting one.

As for the pax levitas, it's quite useless imo and should never have been added in as an opportunity. However stats on the ones in game should be at least beefed.

No one said anything about that...

If you noticed, I said that they should lower the drop rate because not a single blueprint has been dropped so far since Olympus was added a year ago. It currently is at 1/1000 and I want it lowered and the rest of the suggestion suggests new stats to make it useful.

Either make the ship cheaper and much easier to obtain, at the cost of making it an entry-T21.

Or buff the stats so it can compete and is a viable alternative to the HM(with increased construction costs of course).

I think thats the whole point of the suggestion.

The ship is quite underpowered, as from the stats I saw, and the rarity really trumps any remaining cards the admins use to say it's good.

Give it the stats I suggested and it will be a viable option for T21 Engineers that wish to focus on drone power.

/Signed to beefing the pax levitas, the HM is much, much better then a pax levitas and easier to obtain aswell, just doesn't make sense in my opinion.

Stats seem balanced to me and I agree drop rate of 1/1000 is ridiculous.

Oh. And cool superitems.
