would love to see the drop rate increase for player kills. Right now its hard to get a blue enhancement at all much less an Improved or better. PVP is good as it is be nice if it was a little more rewarding.

Personally, thats just bandaging the problem which nobody seems to be asking/addressing, for whatever reason.
Yes, I can see why it was done, but it shouldnt have been done. Removing elites were a bad idea. Administration already let the cat out of the bag long ago and now you are basically penalizing any new player that joins the game as they no longer have the same farming opportunity as the rest of them.
Ontop of that, holding contests to award specific enhancements for specific ships? come on. Though, it sounds nice, it really messes with the game mechanics (which is already in a sour state of unbalance). New ships/players, with lack of enhancements and expertise, no longer have the same opportunity that veteren players once had? what kind of logic is that?
Just because they signed up after a certain date.. its sad.

if the elites do go back.. VARY the enhancement drops.. i mean where are the advanced beam mulitplexers?
If the elites where to go back with a more varied drop then u'd see my EAD with beam plexers instead of weapon plexers..
THIS IS THE UNIQUE PART OF THE GAME WHERE THE PLAYER CHOOSES HOW HE WANTS HIS SHIP TO BEHAVE AND NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED.
By this i mean.. with no modding anymore... how can i make my ead the Spartan lethal beam weapon it should be.. ATM SPLASH kills me more than the enemy.. although ima a bad constantly enraged pilot that needs to be popped... else its u.
ALSO... do we all really think the UTGO corvettes are that OP that we decrease the turning ratio of them from 30+ to 20?? aww man.
**edit: ALSO who uses the beta forum?? c'mon.. make a space in here for Imrovement the players want.. and if u want ppl in beta.. give them the badge or something.. no-one my time plays beta and my previous post for things we want in the current ds version was deleted cuz it was ment to be in beta... ??!!? how many responses do u expect to get in beta forum.. fair enuf delete it.. but see reason** [ This Message was edited by: SPaRTaN Z (Star Fox) on 2009-12-10 20:36 ]

If you want modding of enhancements, why do people favor having to sit in a server for hours trying to grind a single ship for them?
When did that become fun? Personally I'd go for mod them off of planets or something.

Yeah, modding isn't with us anymore tho.
SO give us the enhancements.. varied.. and scaled down from the size of a PVP kill..
AI MI should have STND tops.. i reckon..
U wanna farm stnd enh.. farm the MI,. see how far u get in ur cruiser..

this is complete correct, it is just making it ALOT harder for the noobs to get stuff.....AND players who are returning.....
Droprate should be good so people dont have to farm them.... i swear this game is becomming more and more of just farm stuff... everyone is afraid to fight and loose ships (that has gotten better since i got back) but hell even i am finding myself farming....
I think enh should only drop from pvp combat... but at a good rate. [ This Message was edited by: ssj4megaman on 2009-12-10 21:51 ]

Agreed with both Az/Ssj.
Atleast with farming (I hated farming, but you know what, it was too late to change - obviously someone didnt get the memo), everyone had a chance at it.
Now though, new players are left to the dust in most cases. If you want to get rid of elites, so be it, but get rid of all enhancements and start anew. This is like pwiping half of the community because they self destructed only 6 times in 8 years, its just not logical.

maybe have some form of "veteran reward program" for subscriptions?
say for example you get 30 points per month you are subscribed, the worst level enhancement would cost 10 points, and then up the cost for each level of enhancement by 5 while having blue unique enhancements (or the stackable, wichever is the least rare i guess) be the best you could buy. that way ppl can still get fitted out with decent enhancements while still having to partake in pvp to get the best enhancements. /edit: because the best enhancements SHOULD only be dropped in pvp combat
now the question would be, would we get the months we HAVE been subbed retroactivly or everyone starts fresh or gets given xx points as a gift to start off with?
was pondering if there would then be a need to wipe garages to make it a even playingfield but that wont be the case in the long run so it would largely be a pretty useless gesture.

Well.. we can also just nerf elites to make them better to delete. Then everyone's on a leveler playing field, since the higher level Enhancements drop from cruisers and above and its just a matter of having been in more combat to have more of them.

its the fact that it takes 4-6 kills of cruiser+ ships to get 1 enchanement and not ever a good one at that. I have only gotten 1 blue enhancement from killing a Kluth station (dark green exhaust) and that was a month and a half ago. Since then I have only gotten 2 standerds and 1 enhanced. Basically the drop rate needs to be significantly increased.

To be honest, those blue enhancements are rare for a reason. Or would you suggest we wipe everyone's garages so you can all have your "fair start?"
