Moorian Flav 648	Posted - 2017.05.16 13:55:00 - [1] - Quote Would there be a way for Civilian and even possibly T1 suits use the simplified power core but T2 and T3 suits use PG/CPU? Just a thought. Coming from DUST and EVE, I don' t really like the simplified switch but it's honestly more about how it all comes together in game. Also, I realize CCP is trying to attract more than just those from the DUST/EVE community for Nova so in that respect, I can see why a more simplified power system would seem the way to go.

In EVE, there are active speed boost modules (afterburner and MWD). Therefore, it would be interesting if speed modules were thrown into the mix in Nova as it sounds there would be a capacitor to draw from. Of course, these speed modules in EVE react differently based off of the weight of the ship they are attached to as it does make sense. I think there would be the same kind of thing would be in Nova if there were indeed speed modules. Speaking of weight, I'd like to add a thought on Sentinels. For a long time in PC, Sentinels were used by the majority as they were hard to remove from points. As DUST advanced though and added cloaking, super jumping, and other stuff, Sentinels became less and less dominant. Near the end of my time with DUST, Assaults looked to me to be the majority used as they were so versatile. I just hope when it comes to class balancing, CCP will make each class have pros AND cons along with having their own battlefield niche to fill. Speaking of niches while also thinking of EVE, I hope there will be more gameplay options than there was in DUST such as an option to 1v1 Duel. With all that said, I hope we continue to hear from you, Rattati. I don't troll; I tell the truth. I'm also known as "The ANTI-Propaganda Machine".
Moorian Flav 650	Posted - 2017.05.17 14:13:00 - [3] - Quote This thread had turned a bit negative and even argumentative. Due to that, I'd like to point out a few things: Nova is not DUST. Even though all of us liked DUST, Nova is striving to be better than DUST was while also being more welcoming to new players outside of the DUST/EVE universe. To accomplish that, things have to change from what they were in DUST. Rather than simply say you don't like something or arguing against, try coming up with ways to improve what CCP is going with. As for me, earlier in the thread I suggested Civ and T1 suits uss power core system while T2 and T3 suits use CPU/PG. That system would accomplish both good NPE while also being true to EVE. Sticking to the point above, Nova should have a better NPE than DUST as DUST basically did not have one due to being stuck in a perpetual beta. Even on EVE side, CCP has improved NPE in recent years by expanding their tutorials and even adding voice so new players do not have to read through screen after screen. Due to that, I am guessing Nova will also have tutorials explaining mostly everything about Nova to new players. Therefore, I would not worry about NPE or players not knowing what is what. Lastly, try to stay on point. Even I had gotten off subject as am overjoyed to get responses from Rattati. In the end though, it's not really helpful as it makes it hard for anyone including CCP to take out anything beneficial from the discussion in the end. One fortunate thing of only the diehards remaining on the forum is this thread did not explode and go off into multiple tangents too much already. I am not meaning to preach here. I am just trying to move forward with this discussion. In all honesty, we have too few details on Nova to do anything more than provide our opinion and basic ideas around the question provided in the Subject. To provide anything more than that is wasted effort due to the little we actually know about Nova. I don't troll; I tell the truth. I'm also known as "The ANTI-Propaganda Machine".

I assumed Stamina would remain separate (especially if there are speed modules as speculated earlier in thread) but keeping track of shield/armor, bullets in clip, deployables, stamina, and now capacitor is quite a bit to keep track of while getting shot at. Then again, Nova is supposed to be more like EVE so that may be exactly what CCP is going for with Nova. I don't troll; I tell the truth. I'm also known as "The ANTI-Propaganda Machine".

Moorian Flav 656	Posted - 2017.05.18 14:40:00 - [6] - Quote I posted this in another thread when should have went here: Moorian Flav wrote: Here is an example of how both Power Core and CPU/PG can both be used: - Civ/T1 suits have Energy Units (EU). - T2/T3 suits have CPU/PG Basically, EU is a simplified CPU/PG system where CPU/PG is added together (shown below with fudged numbers). - Civ Assault: 90 EU (= 45 CPU + 45 PG) - T1 Assault: 100 EU (= 50 CPU + 50 PG) - T2 Assault: 80 CPU/40 PG (= 120 EU) - T3 Assault: 90 CPU/50 PG (= 140 EU) This can be explained via lore by saying EU is a simpler power system but is limited where the CPU/PG system is needed for higher power and more advanced suits.

It's not like CCP has a huge game library to keep them afloat if something does go awry with Nova. BTW, if you are going to be annoyed or frustrated by anyone, be frustrated or annoyed by the majority of players out there that have to basically have half the game played for them to find it enjoyable.

Moorian Flav 665	Posted - 2017.06.01 14:59:00 - [8] - Quote Pokey won me over. It does make sense that CPU/PG be made into 1 unit as there will no longer be 4 faction variants per class. With only 1 Scout, 1 Logi, 1 Assault, and 1 Sentinel in Nova, there is no need for such a division any longer. That being said... I don't troll; I tell the truth.
