i don't think s17 should have any 350 bots cause the other sectors with hidden wormholes exept s15 don't have any 350 bots.
this would also make traval to s18 easier.

negative. 17 is on the way to 18. It should be dangerous and risky.

I agree. Furries creep me out. Space furries would be even creepier.

Ohhhh, you meant *furies*... You sound like you're saying "waaa, it's too hard for me! Get rid of them!"

no way...if it was me ten turrets would be posted by the 17->11 gate that were hostile to players

No, and I would expect in the future that high profit routes would be even more difficult.

Furies are easy to dodge. And like others have said the black market should be hard to get to. Otherwise there'd be no challenge and everyone would have uber ships. If anything it should be harder, because people still go through s17 and s18 like it's nothing.

......

I think the sector 18 station should have frig turrets mounted all over it. 50 in all.

No! Better yet have 4 frigates gaurding!

better yet
*empties can of gasoline on the thread*
give the Itani a reason
*lights match*
to go to 18 like the rest of us have to.
*runs away*
fix the Valk.

Easy solution.

you can only buy a valk construction kit in itani homesectors. You need to transport it to sector 18. You can only do so in a heavy trader, Prom/ragnorok/centaur. It will be put together in there since it needs some special alloy not possible to be transported as a unfinished ship outside of the special sector "18".

It will make procurring a valk hard, since you need a heavy ship to get there, what means that you need an escort. It will aslo justify its advancedness.

Do the same for the marauder and the prom. Also justifiable since they are by far better then the atlas and the wraith, their respectable little brother.

It will in 1 clap solve all these complaints about that it is to easy to get a valk, everybody needs to work as hard as anybody else for his special.

If you kill a special ship it will drop a part, and/or if you take the flag, then the capper will be awarded 5 other nations specific parts that he could distribute over his helpers or keep himself "what wouldnt be appreciated though".

cheers

PS: in reality it is a sort of a mission

Pyro that is kinda what i am saying.

Yeah, and that's my point. You're coming off as a whiny little brat. Or are you one?

whiney brat?!
/me kills Pyro and destroys his soul!

go ren.

Hey, Rene!!! You stole my idea!! Destroy special ship, collect <special ship name> scrap part, kill another one, collect another <special ship name> scrap part, etc. And when you collect like all of the components needed, you take it to a repair shop or something and pay only half the price to build your own special ship from those scrap parts. Maybe it'll give those devs something to put in that inventory screen that says, "do not click here." Hehe.

your idea? i posted that in 3.2 when special ships were first avalible in 15. give credit where credit is due.

Hey! When did I say I wanted to get rid of furies? Get me off that list, unless you meant furries.

What? Rid the furies from S17? nooo..
Make them smarter! I miss the old tri-squad ones. they felt "smart", the current ones just feel "cheating". Though its that AI regression that was talked about.

"you can only buy a valk construction kit in itani homesectors. You need to transport it to sector 18. You can only do so in a heavy trader, Prom/ragnorok/centaur.

Bad idea, if that were done do it to the marauder and prometheus too.
