Kalch...I already represent those players. Dont build bases nor buy credits, still do endgame content. And I keep up with RL fine while doing that.

Q: #1: From Razgriz: Hey jeff think maybe you could add a Base control ability? like as in the owner takes the wheel and choses targets and cycles through the weapons and Fires when THEY feel like firing. PLZ that'd SOOOO PWN and it'd make alot of ppl enjoy SS a little more. in my opinino i would spend the rest of my life playing if i coulduse a base as a ship in a glaxy....... which brings mw to question # 2

Q: #2: From Razgriz: could you maybe add a super doper base engine? like maybe Adonis/Argonaught/Ambro.....ect..... that can only be equipped to a base of THAT tech??

Q: #3: From Razgriz: could you also add the ability to maybe make a base deploying/re scooping ship?? like maybe a MASSIVE Thatch that uses an engine, but heres the thing you need hull = to what the gear thats on the base is = too......ie. adonis: Mag=3k, pulse=1.6k i think, Shield and energy= 1.3k each, shield trans is 1.3k, and the radar = 1.3k, so that would = 8.8kk hull neeeded + the extensions and other things that are on the base........and you can redeploy these base like in Special DG's that require a shitload of DPS and tanking....... that'd PWN

Q: #4: From Razgriz: would it be possible to make roaming bases that ethier roam a galaxy randomly or patrol a set course, and also use the Buildable command station that allows you to control the base, to fly it around and warp or not warp...... but that'd take bases to a WHOLE new level.

and that concludes these questions for now.... thanks

Yes (in client2), no, no, & no. Bases are too powerful to roam about and be redeployed so easily.

Question 1:
Is players that don't like to build bases nor buy credits for cash excluded from the end game content?

Question #2: Do you have any plans for the future, near or distant, to add Solarian weapon BPs to any drop tables/missions??

Question 1:
Is players that don't like to build bases nor buy credits for cash exluded from the end game content?

Question 2:
If no at question 1, how can players that's not building bases nor buying credits for cash keep up with the builders, and at the same time find moments for a crap, meals, work/school and family?

Jeff, why is there a BP for a base-only engine, the annihilator thrustor, if bases will never be able to move? If it is the lyceum gaurd engine, ok, but why make a BP for it?

Silver.... Platter.... oh whoops that doesn't exist, sorry to burst bubbles and all, but yeah maybe the drops rates do suck a little, no MMORPG has drop rates where u get some oh so wicked item every time, also most MMORPGS don't have DG's that take 20 mins to do and allow u to sit in the DG while it respawns without the need to fight your way back thru to it to get the boss again.

Tables could be looked @ a little maybe, and balanced out a fraction but otherwise I really don't see the ultimate problem since it's so easy to camp them for the drops.

That's a tough question. Clearly if you don't build bases, you will have to work closely with *someone* who does in order to build the high end ships, the high end augs, the high end weapons, etc. There is so much that gets built in this game.

I have always felt that there can be a strong harmony between players who mostly build and players who mostly fight. The players who mostly fight can sell their loot to the players who mostly build for the cash the the builders generate. Of course, the hard core players who spend large amounts of time doing both will have an advantage over the non hard-core players, but it's like that in every game. You can't say in essence, "I refuse to be a hard-core player but expect the same set-up, money, and rewards as the hard-core players." I would say find other players who are less hard-core as yourself and sell them augs and loot if possible. I'm sure other players would have advice on this subject as well.
