Put the new uridum ships in trade

[-BANDOFBROTHERS1945-]

I think that darkorbit should put the 3 new ships (Citadel, Aegis and Spearhead) in the trade. The 3 ships that are in bids already cost uridum so what is the difference. I would just like it if the new ships were put in bids. Thay have been around long enough that if someone wanted to buy one of the ships thay would of bought one of the ships by now so it is just useless to not put these ships in bids.

[stevo_13]

I agree i would like to see the 3 newer ships in the trade. I would like that because i dont pay real money though :P lol

[Smallz_is_Back]

NO! That would be horrible. And no im not against free players getting things on trade and whatnot, but this idea is just horrible. Just think about it for a minute or two, would you really want Citadels and Aegis going around everywhere? No, as it stands its great, not too many citadels or aeigs. If it was on trade, nearly everyone would be bidding on them and eventually we would get overrun with them, you think it's hard to survive now? Ha, just imagine having 5 citadels and 5 aegis hunting. Theyw ould be nearly unstoppable.

I'm glad they're not in trade. The only things i think should be in trade are the skill designs for golis.

[HMS_Rangoon]

Since nothing useful is available to be bid on in trade, we should eliminate trade completely.

[mandd0011]

good idea because at the moment it seems hardly anyone is buying them on our server and i dont blame them. they are not that worthwhile like the old ships, spectrum etc

[parker2941]

I say No / either buy uri or box it but trade should be out of the question.

[-BANDOFBROTHERS1945-]

ya i do agree that if they dont put the new ships in trade they should atleast put in the golith/vengeance designs in

You have obviously been FE for a long time and forgot how expensive Iris drones are without the trade system...


Dumbest idea I've heard all year.

Would be nice but not gonna happen.

I'd also point out to whoever screamed about 6 er so Aegises working together stuff like that already happens, the difference is the people using them are uber-high levels with LF-4s and UCB ammo.

LOL love that response! Trade is Ideal for new players and yes to become FE trade is a definite bonus....! in Response to to the New Ships in Trade!!! I am against it as I actually worked hard for my New ships as a gift to myself before my money was restricted by marrying my lovely other half.

If you want the new ships free, box or kill NPC.

The players who have the Aegis and Citadel worked hard to earn extra money and waited for MHH.... either do the same or as advised above box or ask your clan to help cube for a few hours :)

[Z-E-N]

Tbh, it wouldn't really make much of a difference. The new ships (especially the cita and aegis) would go 200mil+ if they were put on trade and so mostly wws (or clan drainers :p) would be getting em.

[sapper377]

Dont forget ADEPT and CORSAIR Vengies were buy now ships for real money, now available in trade, i got both for 100 creds each!!
Just wait and see

[ÂL†€M€Ñ†-GÎߣL]

I'm actually with the idea, they may be new, but they really arnt that good. Goliath is still better therefore shouldnt be a big deal. If a noob did win them, they would have alot of trouble surviving with thoughs ships. So please put them in trade :D

[AlexanderTheGreat]

How about this, put them in trade during only during special occasions and events. Assuming they arn't over offered there (like the Adapt and Corsair) the price will stay quite high.

[sapper377]

Think the main goli ones that you can purchase should be in trade, spectrum, venom etc.

[♣♠♦ZrCrIcHy♦♠♣]

if you was to put the 3 new ships in trade, the game just wouldnt be fun anymore, there would be nothing else to work for

[AlexanderTheGreat]

Wow... Just wow... You can work on upgrading all those LF-4s, BO-2s, etc., getting all your skills, doing gates if you haven't already, buy ammo to slaughter some poor sucker with, etc.

[♣♠♦ZrCrIcHy♦♠♣]

im talking about already FE players? do you really want the FE players that are already good ( that havent bought the designs) really come after you?

[Etshoupedoubs]

No just no...

Let me stop you there for a second. It would make big difference. Think about the Bastion When it came out it was easily 70+ mil credits the first 2 weeks it came out. In the past week I won a bastion on my new account for 2 credits. It will only take a few months or maybe even a few weeks for everyone get a these new ships.

This is why i say no just plain no. Took me a week to box my aegis. I would be furious if I saw these new ships in trade. I have boxed my aegis and spearhead. This ships can be more powerful than goli if know how to use them right(Aegis and Citadel).

People have bought and boxed for these new ships they would be furious to. They spent money and time to get these new ships. Then they would see noobs flying these ships and they won them for a few million credits. You say they would 200+ mil credits but remember once you hit FE credits are basically useless. I can easily make 70+ mil credits in a day if i wanted to. I have on my ship right now 271 mil credits. For the most part i am a free player i only spend about 20$ each 4 months.

Thank you nicely said

Am I supposed to be scared by the prospect of FE players comming after me? They already do, the only peope I'm "scared" of in any form are the top 10-20 players, the rest just don't have the same effect.

Which is why you only put them out for auction on VERY RARE occastions and not ruin them like the Adept and Corsair which even though being events on my server go for 100K-3M depending on when you bid, which either way is pretty dang cheap.

I'm thinking at max 24 auctions per month per new ship would be reasonable. They'd be available sorta like a MHH or HH, one hour at a time.

How did you box 250k uri in a week as a free player?

Second, the bastion is merely a design, not an actual ship and it only gives a small bonus which is why it goes so cheaply. I never said I was against the idea, I just said it wouldn't make much point. You'd either buy, say a cita, for 300k or try your luck with 200-300mil creds or more. Neither of which is a very light price.

But still, your doubling the number of ships sold, which depending on how you look at it this may halve the price of each ship there. IMHO they should be limited to (special) events, that would keep them the price from plunging too terriblely much.

[-imbored4170-]

I would have to say no on putting these ships into trade for a variety of reasons. The first is that if they went on trade, all you would see would be those 3 ships. Think about all the ships, if all the noobs had these ships, do you know how hard it would be to kill one???? The aegis heals almost 500k shields/hp in 2 minutes, the Citadel has 550k hp.. and the spearhead can cloak itself off the minimap. And if they are even put on trade during special hours (i.e. MHH or something) the only people who are gonna prosper are the higher up FEs who have sometimes multibillion credit clan banks that can easily just outbid anyone. Plus think about it this way. If the ships go on trade, all i need is about 50k uri. Why? Thats the amount I need to insta send prom from my skylab for credits for a bid. I can get something worth 250k uri for 50k uri.

Finally, if you put your heart and soul into boxing, you can get it in less than a week. If i really spent the entire day boxing, I can easily get somewhere of 110k uri a day. Grant it I have doubler, but Its not as impossible as people think.

That sounds like a good idea. The maps won't be crowded with the new ship and it allows people enough time to build up a healthy supply of creds.

You say they would 200+ mil credits but remember once you hit FE credits are basically useless.
not totally useless.
if you lose your iris while not paying attention, you could bid on them again.

Not really.

ok look puttin the new ships in trade will NEVER happen, never

[AlexanderTheGreat]

ok look puttin the new ships in trade will NEVER happen, never
So say they all...

[ŦĦЭ-CЯΩЩ]

I think putting the new ships on trade as stated before is a rubbish Idea! It defeats the object of the game placing everything in Trade! no one is working to gain URI for good ships!

They will sit in there credit ships dragging BK's to portal expecting FE to finish the job to gain them credits for there brand new ships that these FE players or wallet warriors spend a lot of time or money gaining URI to buy these ships.

When will people learn this? I remember back in 2008 roaming round maps popping aliens in lower maps and then after a week i had enough uri to buy a goliath, then buy good engines.. a few weeks later I had good Lasers and shields.. then I worked on my drones.

New players these days have protection in lower maps.. they have the chance to buy lasers after completing quests and get equipment free!

Then there is the option us FE never had... buy 10 lasrs LF3's or BO2's at lvl 5.... how much more does big point have to give you??

Do what I did with my goliath.... gain lvl and exp... then use the uri to buy the ships....!

I had to beg my wife to buy the citadel because I really liked it... so yes I bought this one... I do not understand why everything must be on trade!

Trade is great as a new player to get equipment and ammo and good lasers... what next? you will sk for premium on trade too?

Sory to rant but I had to express my opinion, No players flamed or argued with just expressing my dislike at everything on trade :)))

Trade is fine the way it is.

[stevo_13]

I would like to see the new ships in trade but i realize that ppl are right it would probly cause everyone to run around in them but the new ships arent meant to replace a goli yeah a citadel might have tons of shields and hp but it has what 7 laser slots as opposed to a goli with 15 lasers , an aegis has 15 gen slots and a bit more hp than a goli but it only has 10 laser slots , and a spearhead is nothing for a goli having only 100k hp the only thing a spearhead can count on is its specials and speed so the new ships should be in the trade and the problem of other players all having the new ships they would only be able to have one if they dont have a 2nd hangar as im sure many free players only have 1 hangar (as i do and im a free player)

[T-A-R-A-N-T-U-L-A]

first i wanna say to the guy who mentioned ,imagine 5 citadels or aegis coming at you whats the difference of that and 5 golis coming at you ,same result your toast,i do agree having them in trade is a bad idea me personally id like all these new ships and designs lf4s havocs etc to dissapear and go back to the old days when skill actually counted in the game and not who spends the most,before any 1 says it yh i do have havocs lf4s etc and the game has gone down the pan, used to love the old days when 2 fe would be able to fight each other and the fight actually last more than 2 shots of rsb

Very stupid idea ....
Firstly Goliath is still the best ship and every free player have the chance to play with the best ship :)
And secondly ... there are many players who've spend lots of uri to buy citadel or aegis ....
and now you want to take this ships for free !? Its would be very unfair.... If you want so much this ships just save uri and you will buy it after a month :)

[.:♣ØhhΣmmGee♠:.™]

Think about it for a second.

If DO hasn't put anything on trade recently besides the 2 veng designs and rep bot 4, wich have been out for a pretty long time now, what makes you think they'd put the new ships on trade? They're making money off people buying the ships, putting it on trade will just make them lose money.

Maybe in a year or 2, maybe even 3 your wish might come true. :rolleyes:

I know it's a mere design but that's not the point. The point is when new stuff enters trade. The price for that items explodes (credits) but if you give it time the price will go down.
The Bastion Exalted, Veteran , Avenger, Revenge, Rep Bot-4 10, 10+ cpu slot, the new jump cpu, Gem-AC+(150% armory) went EASILY over 70+ mil When they first came out. Now i can get each of them for less than 5 mil credits.

And like I said I spend about 20$ every 4 weeks on a doubler and I set my bio for 20% loot form boxes to :D. If u really wanted a new ship you would bk for a month like i did for my venom.(Before i ever thought of boxing and p.s. Boxing is much better than bking)

[X] Replacing lost irises. That's why there is auto drone rep cpu... quite dumb to fly without one..
[✓] Bidding for equipment. I have some upgraded stuff that i rather transfer ship to ship But i see your point.
[X] Ecos, rockets x1. This stuff is cheap the max i used on ammo in one day 10 mil credits and i ended up making 60 mil creds profit.
[X] Pilot bio. It cost more uri than credits. Unless your getting 3 pps everyday the credits needed for this wont affect you much at all.
[✓/X] Cloak CPUs/ xeno / mines / ammo bids. Personally I barely bid on ammo cause im at 100k/80k ammo... Xeno is quite cheap and you can kill a few blk for it to... Cloak I barely ever cloak up so no need of cpus..

[T-A-R-A-N-T-U-L-A]

That's why there is auto drone rep cpu... quite dumb to fly without one.. maga 403 more like quite dumb to fly with 1 ive known loads of players losing there iris because this drone rep cpu never worked i would never rely on that, plus it takes up a slot on your ship ,in 4 years of playing ive never heard any 1 say i lost my irises cause forgot to rep em only people saying that stupid chip didnt work
