Yeah, just made it easier to get t22 skills, now you just need commod and SPs. where went all the work in this game? Is this really what people want, to have a game where you can just do all the high level content with your strongest alts and instantly bring all your other alts to that level?

Even t22 ships are dirt cheap to build

Yea i dont like this change, i use to enjoy running players through tech 22 and teaching them the mechanics. You're basically taking away one of the great experiences of the game for lots of players.

Yeah but players have been freezing the commods for years.. I just got all my t22 skills on 3-4 alts in like 30 min and travel ships

There is no reason to bring people on tech 22 runs now I'm better off using my more then capable characters. But hey its your game do whatever you want.

If you are going to stick to this system then you need to find a way to balance it, you said, "it's for people who can't be online at the same time" yet I found no problem getting t22 runs in Japan when I first came back to SS. All this does is makes it pointless to bring anyone who is not fully outfitted in t22. You say everyone will need to buy it at least at Honorary Dip cost, and you're dead fucking wrong, those commods are team assets in most cases. So teams will just continue to farm them and build up huge stockpiles of them. New players will no longer be invited to for t22, they will just be rationed the commods and told to develop until they are useful for the runs.

This change was seriously fucking stupid.

Why wouldn't you bring a new player on a run? I don't get it. I personally like bringing new people into the Traders community and doing runs with them. If I didn't, I would just MC10 all content and never play with anyone else.

I did runs weekly for random people in all chat most if not all of last uni. By bringing these players i was hindiring how quickly i could do these runs since most of the time they were unexeprienced and didnt have the gear to do much in that zone yet. Which wasnt a problem for me since they NEEDED to do this and one of my favorite things to do in this game is help people progress. Now instead of hindiring myself, ill just fly through the zones and give these players the commods. Sure id be more then happy to take along anyone that wants to come and learn but you took away the point of that now.

Honestly i would like to know one player in SS last uni that didnt have a chance to go on a tech 22 run? By name please cause when i tell you i was doing this every week and even working around several players schedules to accommodate them im not lying. So you using that as an excuse is bullshit. This is just your views on how the game should be supported by no facts just by assumptions.

Since your obviously set on keeping this mechanic then i would suggest to make the commods that require no kill be a completely separate commod then the ones you get from killing the ubers. Add a mission chain similar to the missions for allied commendations or some missions that are basically easy mode for solo players but still teach them a little about subspace mechanics. I know its a lot more work then just taking away a kill requirement but maybe fully focus on one thing for a bit and stop half assing several things.

Allow the skill to be obtained via daily missions with a DIFFERENT neurobound nondecaying commodity in the skills tab.

Allow the skill to also be trained in the current method of kill + commod mission.

Problem solved.

Right, cut out the middle-man anyway.

Honestly, all tech skills should be deliberately done so they're solo only. In other MMOs, the leveling and progression systems are rarely made so only the group can do it. This is because new players more often than not enter the game alone. It makes no sense to require them to have 9 actual friends to do content with, prior to downloading the game.
