News Changes Coming to Multi-crew
- Thread starter Edward Lewis
- Start date
The next person that says Frontier doesn't listen to it's players is going to get this thread posted to them in the largest font size the forum will let me. I make no apologies for that
Being slightly more serious all looks like good changes. I'm interested to know about the 2nd change and how it'll affect re-buy costs with regards to ship discounts, the Li Yong Rui powerplay re-buy discount, the kickstarter discount etc. 5% rebuy doesn't have much wiggle room for further reductions.
An Alpha level kickstarter backer gets 50% off the base 5% ship value so 2.5% insurance. If they pledged to LYR with the 20% discount and he is first in powerplay ratings they would pay 2% of their ship value. If that's being further reduced and all kickstarter bonuses are equally adjusted thats significant!!
It's not your business either. Why do you think you should dictate how much new players earn?
For fun?
But that's the point: They can't. Someone with high skill and a Anaconda / Cutter / Corvette will not have a low combat rank, unless he cheated / used exploits.
PS
Maybe this discussion should be continued in one of the many "don't nerf money" threads?

I'd guess that the rebuy amount as shown in the right panel would have the 30% (60%...) discount applied to it.
That gives the same percentage reduction to all possible rebuy levels.

Crazy isn't it. Forgot to add the saviors thowing in "amazing hard work...", "this is miraculous considering how difficult and advanced this game code is", etc., implying that the leeetle change is nothing short of a miracle that only FDev could achieve. Always lots of drama here and quite entertaining.
Oh, MC as implemented is still a useless feature to me and will remain useless to many. This change does little to fix the poor overall design.

Yes please. That way we would have got instant ship transfer and 100% payout for all crew members as it was originaly planned for both features before the various storms on forums and reddit [up]

helm always got 100% where is your source of missinformation that it has ever been different?
you are one of they guys who should pay the real insurance for his ships... i mean, you pay x% of what its worth and get it back in one piece...
and your math skills are bad too,
because the the full multicrew payout is not 180%, but 260% + additonal 10% for all the sold loot trade dividends.
Thx for the info on the update

maybe you should help your friend by joining HIS ship and he will suffer ZERO penalty. half of the ships are MC able, you don't need an anaconda for MC. and if its to insult the opponent in chat
I was seconds too late to get this into the other, arguably more appropriate, thread before the lock (damn you Mr. Maynard) so it'll have to go here. Apologies for the now slightly stale gag, but I couldn't resist this.
Awesome.
I like the concept of giving the Helm control over what the crew can access. It puts the structure in place to allow crew to access (with Helm's permission) things like modules, navigation, contacts, and coms.

Nope, the original direction that was to have delayed transfer just like we have now. Michael Brookes indicated they had only gone for instant transfer because of the lower effort needed, so really just like this constant messing with rewards, instant transfers was yet another producer-level decision to please the unwashed masses at the lowest cost.

Actually ship transfer was originally planned to be delayed. They just wanted to make it instant because they didn't have time to implement it properly.

Who-ever thought up this version-numbering system really needs their head looking at. It's going to confuse just about all of your customers, and when-ever someone (not FDev) says "2.3.1" we won't know if they meant 2.3.01 or 2.3.1 .
Instead of it looking like this:
2.3
2.3.01
2.3.1
Please instead consider doing this:
2.3
2.3.0.1
2.3.1
Or this:
2.3
2.3.1
2.3.2
Both options have pros & cons, but both are far better than the current proposed numbering system.

I'm not bad at math, my example was when flying a Vulture.
Which is still irrelevant to the point, but keep being pedantic.

So.. have somebody else sitting in a chair, increase your pips, almost double the total payout and lower your rebuy costs all at the same time?
Oh well. It's just a game. No need for believability...
