I have no idea how you programm a game like this, but if you want to reset a certain ammount of skills on an account, you'd need to have them seperated from the others, yet together in 1 account... but you seem to have managed that already with the secondary skills which do get reset while piloting and such remain the same, can't you just do that again with ruin skills?

Cant you do something like the deflector reset thing but make it so thats how you star the different mission chain out?

I agree with this 100%. I should like to have something more to show for my Faranji Research 20 that some Faranji Orb. The skill cost me close to 6 Billion to get, and I didn't even pay my over the top cube prices. I should be able to have some cool Faranji item as well, maybe not overly powerful, but a lower end ancient ruin item to show for it.

All that would need to be done is adding a new mission chain once Faranji Research (Or whatever the case may be) hits 20, craft some new and hopefully not too expensive missions such as retrieving commods etc (These mission should equal in price the value of extracting the item once.).

As it stands I spent hours of time doing the missions,(It took a good while to track down a Faranji Energy 9, Faranji luscious Easts, and doing the pre-holocube missions as well. There aren't even ruins for Faranji Luscious Easts!), roughly 6 billion in Gold and the ruin items, and all I have is a Faranji Orb commodity, and the "Ability" to use the ruins.

Something else would be nice.

The skill reset at the moment is really bad in my opinion, you should be able to decrease all your skills individually as much or little as you want.

I agree with Ultra Violet.

Instead of doing it by player level why not do it by Skill level? So for every Secondary skill it costs like 5-10mil per level to decrease it.

And you can Decrease or Increase it as much as you like, aslong as you have enough to fullfill whatever skill needs it.

Thats acually a good idea. It would mean for things like changing from sniper to sd it would cost less, because they share FA

Ok, for those people who think the ruin specialization skill need a bonus, this part of the post is for you.

The Ancient Ruin item are rated at 2.25 Rarity. This is the highest rarity of any item in the game right now. Mercurian item are only rated at 2.15, and the first level of item in Atlum's new zone are rated at 2.15. Solarian and the Primal item when they are added, are rated at 2.25, and they take billions to build and killing the hardest AI in the game. The Ancient Ruin items and Specialization skill are a hit and miss way of finding some of the best item in the game. The six billion credits you spend in order to get the skill are an investment, one that will pay off in time. Treat it as such. Also, there were at least 4 of each Ancient Ruin in the game this universe. Sadly, most were in warp 3, I will lobby for a way to fix that.

I will be adding one or two new item to each ancient ruin every universe though, so as the content progress, the chances of the investment paying off will get better. This universe will see some useful items instead of actual gear added to each ruin, each tailored to the races specialization. A stealth item for the Bule, a Light Fighter item for the Faranji, a Shield Transference Overloader for the Vazaha and a base item for the Mzungu.

I am nearly finished with the new Mzungu content, and the reward is a very unique ship with a unique ability. Players will have to figure it out, and I am sure they will say 'this ship suck' until they do. But it is a very good ship and is a very viable alternative to using Warden, Shrimp, Porpoise, or even Paxian Selenologica.

Finally, good luck finding someone to give the Faranji Orb too. All the Faranji are dead, even when you return to the past! The UrQa tractor beams made sure their light fighters were in range!

Eventually you might find someone interested though, and it could lead to an Unt Faranji item. I have plans to have the ancient zone as dense with content as the Nexus eventually.

You rock Cael

Although, I still stand by my suggestion that even a little teaser giveaway item might be nice in return for such a large investment. In real life if you were to invest such a huge sum into a company, I can guarentee they would give you a few "perks".

NEW PAX SHIP!?!?!?

Take the time and do the Enigmatic missions, you will see it. It's sort of a hybrid between a Celestica and Astro.

HOLLY SHIT!!!

Tech? Stats? Cost? PC? RC? MC? BC? (OK i admin this is getting a bit redundant.)

/wtfisitImustknowrightnow!

The Paxian Selenologica is a level 17 Paxian ship, it can be found in the Paxian ruins, but those who want to see it can find it in the Enigmatic Sector Custom Dungeon.

I have just completed the new Nexus content I had planned, and due to this change, most of the Cadet missions will be available again for players to finish. The change adds a Token Reward system to Cadet Academy where new players can hunt pirates and gain access to special Cadet items! Included with these rewards is a brand new augmenter that is the first to use a special new augmenter value, Weapons Hold.

There are three new augmenter values that Atlum has just added, and you will see them used gradually in new content as the game progresses. The first is Weapons Hold, this augmenter value will increase the number of Weapons Slots on your ship by a limited percent. This value rounds up, so using a +50% Weapons Hold augmenter on a ship with only two slots will increase it to three. The second is Multifire. This augmenter stat will increase the ships Multifire, again, it will round up. The third value is a special damage stat that will increase your damage at an equal cost in increased electricity usage. So using this value we could increase damage by 30% for a 30% increase in the firing cost of a weapon. Atlum has added five new augmenter values in the last few months, so expect to see more widespread usage of all of them as we add more new content.
