........ If someone gets spanked by a stronger guy in RL, he doesn't commit suicide as well, just because it's so unfair that there are stronger people than him on earth.

Not sure, but I'd bed you'd need at least two years to max out any t2 cruiser skill set...

And at least 3 to max out a battleship skill set.

To max out a carrier skill set you'd need to add another year to the bs skill set.

Do you really think a lot of people are focued enough to actually focus on one particular ship?

There's this cool game you should play. It's called EVE Online.

That's more WoW-like. Including all the other crap that calls itself MMO, although they are only a sad excuse.

Not sure specialisation on specialisation works particualrly well for a couple of reasons.

1. If the multiplier for next specialisation wan't high enough you'd get a rush of bonuses as you 'cracked' each new specialisation level.

2. If the multiplier where too high the skills would be pretty worthless as they would take forever to train.

I totally fail to see why people are being so ignorant about the idea though (learn player skillz, it takes 2 years anyway)

There are people who have played EVE for years and have maxed the skills they are interested in why not throw them a bone and open up skill VI and possible VII, it would hardley be game breaking ( can't believe someone actually thinks giving vets something to train would break the game ).

My point is it's been like it has for 10 years if the game wants to make another 10 years then it's something that will probably need to be addressed sometime or perhaps you'd prefer nothing be done and we all end up generic 'All V' alts.

Matey, look around you. There's thin skinned arsehats offing themselves for being called names ffs, nuch less for gettin a beat-down.

Welcome to the pussification of mankind in the name of "equality".

Boy, people have barely maxed out Spaceship Command skills on a single alt. Do the math, there's plenty of **** to train and when you're finally done, there's 2 more character slots left.

Posting to even out the ratio of pilots wearing glasses or some sort.

/c

Player side, if you can train MWD skills indefinite, how fast do you get to go? We had it to a point where nobody could catch us once. How much fun would that be after the first few times? MWD fit a titan to go 20K/ms?

... usual stupid blah blaaaahh....
What the OP is asking for is a way to completely ruin a character and breaking the game, and creating a massive headache for the devs in getting the maths to still work, just because he thinks ...even more blaaaahh...

Lol yes start a new alt thats th solution isn't it.

And have you considered maybe someone doesn't want to max out EVERY ship some would prefer to specialise, I don't see why 'width' of progression should be ignored because you CAN use your training time if you want to learn to fly a load of ships that you will never use.

I'm a retard

A simple exponential function is something that creates a massive headache for you ?

That's a valid point, but i don't say that every skill should be trainable indefinitely. This could be limited to skills that increase the damage or shield/armor hitpoints. I'd even prefer to train a hull hiptoins increase skill instead of training things that i don't use at all. And a diminishing return + higher training time for each skill tier ensure that the advantage is kept tiny. I'm not asking for huge imbalances, a 10-20% sp-based edge in a certain field for years of training is already sufficient to keep that taste of constant progression, which is vital for MMOs imho.





A simple exponential function is something that creates a massive headache for you ? Did you drop out from school after the 4th grade or what ? Please stop polluting my thread with your foolishness, go troll somewhere else.

Maybe if you stopped for a moment to read what people write instead of dismissing it just because you're not following what's being saidGǪ

Try reading the part you just quoted in context. Now try pointing out where any mention was made about an exponential function.

The sad part is that i actually had read your posts

The way i proposed the addition of new progression skills in several posts above (each new skill tier takes exponentially more time per given sp advantage than the previous one) isn't more complicated than an exponential function. You stated that the maths behind my proposal will create massive headaches

stop posting here with your well known alts

What you've proposed already exists in the game, including the function in question.

I have no well-known alts.

Did you read what i proposed ? If this already existed in game, i'd not have to train skills that don't contribute anything to the ships i use

What's wrong allowing people to specialize even further, as explained above

N00btip: it might help not to use them in too many threads to defend yourself

But at least try to understand what people are talking about

maybe if you one day get as much sp as i do and start wasting skilltime on useless stuff

Well it's true. PVP in EVE requires very little of real "skill". Just select target from OV and that's it.

Who will make the first MMORPG privateer clone?

Hollywood stylish physics and mega explosions, fast moving ships and lots and lots of lasers and proton torps
