Take Vanilla WoW, BC, WotLK, and Cataclysm for instance. Blizzard put millions upon millions into their development, and yet now they are completely and in arguably useless in character progression because Blizzard hasn't yet realized that by BoAing or BoEing all obsolete raid gear they would actually create more demand for now useless content, expand their in game economy, and do away with having to implement and balance eighty new pieces of heirloom leveling gear every time they release a major patch.

Not sure about Jeff, but I would love to beat a large game to that sort of functionality in alt character development.

If those goes in, would it not be a good idea to give FCs a class skill that increases ship slots? We do use the most ships of any class, you know.

Just going to throw this out there, having more ship slots will not allow me to store more peasants. I already have several alts dedicated to this, would not effect me at all. Any real colony person does this as well.

But you'd be getting more ship slots on those alts as well, would you not?

Couldn't someone theoretically level a f2p alt, all 5 of them engineers, to use Thatches to store their peasants? 20 thatches per alt (let's save 5 slots for whatever combat setup the alt had) and let's say 800k hull per thatch (don't have an engi class maxxed with a thatch augged 5 heph yet, so this could be inaccurate). That's 16 mil per alt x5 = 80mil in peasants. Now Idk how many peasants people store normally on SSpheres and stuff but that seems like a lot of peasants to me.

Not really, STD cap augs are too expensive for me to care anymore. I store over 200 million peasants as it is, I hate it too.

That's like, 70 odd Singularity Spheres?
All Camsy wanted to do was store a few more trophy ships on his account, because anyone who truly want more slave slots or Sphere slots opens more accounts to do that, while also bringing in more base slots to make use of the ship slots.

I think the best solution is a way to freeze your ship and whatever gear (like augs) are on the ship. You have to have a "free" ship slot open to unfreeze your stored ships, but you essentially have unlimited frozen slots. The frozen items and ships become data, which should be fairly easy to handle since the server wouldn't even keep track of them except for the fact they exist.



Something else to consider:
Many people who want more ship slots use highly inefficient slaves (combat swarms and trade fleets) without a clear idea that this may be a horrible thing to do. I think a series of tool tips promoting the use of higher tech slaves would be good.

Everything except proposal 1, dooo ettt plz!

this, but about the colonyists storing peasants for a next uni it really isnt difficult to create a few support clas characters on those you arent using and fill with singys/thatchs to get all the peasant storage you could possibly need

i could see this working it was just increased to 50 with perhaps t20+ship slots limited to 25 and total to 50 if peopleare really worried about col whores

Best solution I've read sofar. /signed

create a new skill :
max level 5, have 5 more docked ships per level

cost : 500 mil per level
or make a mission for it

Plz More ship slots

i would vote for this idea if they lower the current space point costs.having more ships is a good idea but the services you get vs. the cost is way,way out of whack already.

i recently had a guy on my team who bought an account from an infamous player we all knew as -13- and he has been harrassed,poked and prodded ever since but the fact is that the cost is so rediculously high that he cant afford to change the names of every single character on those accounts.the fee should either be lowered or you should be allowed to reset the entire account names for this kind of money.

players should be able to experience the same features,all inclusive with an account sub and have all the same advantages or disadvantages to compete.in other words,i feel i should get the same number of ships as the next guy for my money.we already have a system where a guy can buy black market credits and accounts so where do we draw the line ? it took me years to earn my reputation and to build all the stuff i have cause my mommy aint rich,and truth be told it pisses me off that a kid with mommies credit card or some misguided adult who wants to come in here and play out his alter-ego dipshit fantasies with nothing but too much time and too much money,can have more shit than me overnight !
