the 3-6% isn't what bugs me, things that are impossible to get unless you were there before is what bugs me.

I think it's awful my idea is: 30% for up to 3, then 20% for 4 and 5 then 5% per level. That's more an equaliser I think.

Man, I'm going to not be AS super uber (-5%), until I get the AT up some.. such as life I guess. Overall though, I think it's good for the big picture, also, perhaps it will finally stop people whoring accounts!!! The only reason some accounts are still around at all is due to the high levels of Aug Tweak.

I can't stress enough though, that it SHOULD NOT BE extremely extremely expensive for the Skill Point cost. Honestly, some people are lost without their current AT levels, and if I can't afford to get mine back up, how will I be able to level for the points I need? It could become really touchy for some people.

Hmm btw what will happen to ships with cap augs? The famous 2 caly emp behe's/DF's, or the infamous 6 heph thatch? will they lose half their hull?

I dont see why they just dont make the Old AT automatically convert into the new AT, apart from the fact it will mean extra effort.

I agree with Rat/Ferret up here. Just make the old At convert to the new AT I got AT3 (and P2P) like 2 weeks after the skill went paying, meaning it cost me 400m. I don't have the money to get the skill again nor the power (after the nerf) to do the content (I think, not sure how hard it's going to be).

I like the legacy skill tho. But, ya, new players who want to be uber still can't get it, which will be unbalanced in time too, which will mean another nerf...

Destroying the skill by doing this is a crime against the playerbase I think. Please take my way. Think, it'll mean that AT 3 is better, hell, make 4 and 5 15% instead, but the thing is at least the others will be stronger then. It's SANE, is that so wrong? I am a long time player and I believe I know what I'm talking about. This way it;s much more equal. Trust my opinion.

Retyu, when everyone can get the same maximum level in the new AT (they can right?), how is your system where we're locked in the old AT formula just with altered values more fair? In the short term, it seems like this might hurt the current players with high AT, but in the long run, this is going to make things a lot better for everyone.

Oh, and 3-6% isn't that much at all, not like the 40-50% gap we have now. I can't see that ever being a problem if they goto the new system they proposed.

What about poor people like me who can only probably afford aug tweak to like 5.

I worked for Aug Tweak 5, and so did the people I worked with. I think that we deserve a small edge. What I suggest will lower the differences between us and the other players. It will allow them to kill the AI in warp 3. Surely you can agree with this? Either that or theres something you're not telling us.

/agreed

I'm really poor atm

also what about f2p char taht currently have AT3.. it will ruin thier SP, they will ahve the legacy, but no way to get the new tweaking.. and with argo lvl 20 abses, we need every uber f2p taht can take those out as is.. uhg, FIX BASES

Most interesting thing here is that when you put this in and people don't have money for the skill, they can't do NOTHING. If they don't have bases, they can't get the money for the AT and without the AT you can't kill any mobs.

My point exactly. I have 3 bases but they suck and make no money, so yeah.

So a player with AT3 can only buy his new aug tweak skill to 30. But not to 35, he'd have to do content for that?

And a player with AT4 would be able to buy his way upto New AT35. Correct?

And wether you have AT3, or 5, or higher you can always get AT55 by doing content (for either 25 levels for people with AT3, or 15 levels for people with AT5 or higher). Correct?

And anyone below AT3 can't buy it? And will have to do content to get his AT up?


Extremely pleased with the new changes. But I'm wondering about the above questions. Also, when will this happen?

Edit: I saw above a nice point by pi. I can't say there's no way to make money for AT, but it's deffo much harder. After all, people can kill mobs to pay the what, 200-300mil for AT3 now can't they?

But it'd be cool if people with AT3 would just auto-get NAT30, and AT4 would get NAT35 etc. And then content for the remaining 15-25 bonus levels, with the last 5 prolly being extremely challenging. After all, they payed for it before anyway.
