the currency is outragious.

credits are easy to get just farm blue crystals. but Gems. gems are needed for everything! EVENT A PAINT JOB! gems are too heavily needed for a balanced experiance. its hugging pay to win pretty well since each part costs around 100 gems (more so if the part takes up more space) and the only to get gems is RNG luck.

sugested changes to gems

1. gems used for research for bigger tiles of stuff or reduced price on stuff (credits will need to be adjusted for this)

2. reduce the gem cost to better reflect the time investment needed to get a single part. (and completely remove it from the pain job...seriously 258 gems for a paint job.)

3. increase gem yields so your not picking up 1 every time. the gems should do the same thing as the crystals where the bigger they are the more they yield. (could even bounce back to the first idea to research a way to improve yield)

4. seperate the gem and credits so its in-game curancy vs payed curency.

you misunderstand. as it stands gems are needed everywhere. i'm offering sugestions to remove some the gem requirments. credits are easy enough to get with a decent sized storage space and some drones. Gems on the other hand are Low RNG to get and you only get 1. lvling up and completeing dailies yelds 40ish or so. but yea the biggest crystal storage space costs whatever amount of gems X9 its kinda hard to get past the cost value there.

i don't know but i seam to get like 50 or so gems in like 30 mintutes just randomly witthout leveling up some times so the gem drop rate is perity high allready try savlageing ship wrecks they tend to be an easy sorce of gems in the ealry game

[mashtong54]

gem drop rate sence one or two patches ago now scales with your ship size and scale now so my big ship gets gems prity qickly

A paint job is totally option and isn't required for the gameplay. We are working on updates to address issues with credits being less valuable the further you get into the gameplay. We also added the new checkpoint feature in the last update to address issues with replacing lost parts being cost prohibitive.

Honestly I don't find any problem farming gems. I get around 100-150 gems an hour. The problem I see, is that people want everything right now, instead of working for it. If you want your ship done right now then pay some cash and buy the gems you need. Don't say the game is broken when you simply wont put forth any effort.

[mechasonic9000]

you farm 100+ gems. how? i'm lucky to find any at all during an hour of gameplay.

[mechasonic9000]

but my opinion stands on the paintjob. it doesn't need gems (or that many gems) to change your color. its a cosmetic not a functional block

Not believing this at all ... after an hour of gameplay and you find no gems you are doing something very wrong ..

[mechasonic9000]

i find about 30 at most but your gettin 100+ something is clearly wrong.

[mashtong54]

its becuse i spend like 1-6 hours a day playing it to get that much you can get as many gems you want but if your going to have to actaly play more then 10 or 20 minutes and spend altest one or two horus a day plaing it like you shold be doing sence this game was made to be played and by the way try minge bonus crates and excavite ship runins when your stateding out and pay ateon of howmany and how large the gardiens are start with mines with one very smal garden first then slowy scal up but make sure that you facous on not loseing drones and not lose parts and get THEM BONUS CRATE they give bonus to atcack devence cristal rate and even give you free warps and masivly incrase gem and part raites and even might even just puke pure cristal gems and even elemental cores strght into your ship at times i get most of my gems just by mineing and you know you can get gems by selling exrta exo parts you dont need at the storage bay not to menchon gems actaly drop alot more the father you progres you just got to play a good admount of time but i also agree that paint jobs should be like 1-5 gems per block

[mashtong54]

but they could also make a new pemeum cenintcy caled market volcgers that 1 world give you 200 gems and make gems a free in game curitsy and alow you to extencge cridtis for gems but you would need 10,000 credits for five gems thats and you can and market volcurs as a ophonal permum cirtinsy that just cost $2.20 for one markey volcher that can be then turned into 200 gems wilhe gems can also be convertied from alot of credtis just at a very high cost and low but balenced gem gain rate so the free to play doesnt bork up the game mirco transactosns by useing maket valctures as its own self contained septrate valuebul crientsy with real money that just gives you gems as a reward of surporting the games devopers thike eve onine but make plex be able to be bought but alsomake it so it not requred to play the game at all but make the game go faster but only one way and not have it be requred for more then just for saveing time for just the cost of small change and not be used to efect game play more then that

+1 reliance on gems is ridiculous. 100 for storage and hangars? 50 for other parts? 750 for a new cockpit? GTFOH. Shady predatory tactics to get people to spend that money money to advance quicker.
