I know its a bit late to be suggesting this idea however when higher levels finsish the research tree there should be a continuation of a research tree for that paricular race that the player is useing and only secialized for that race.

Some input or ideas?

So what happens when they switch race? Could I do the research for every race and have all of the new mods on my ship?

i would say no, if you finish a tree and you go to another race you will keep the researched tree for that race that you did but the benifits wont go into play unless you go back to that race (it would keep were you left off for that race)

Do you understand what im trying to say or sould i reword it?

So are you saying that instead of unlocking new mods for that race to put on their ship that instead it would just unlock like an ability? That way they could switch race's and not have this empty deck space or useless mods on their ship. If it would unlock an ability depending on race I think it would work better. So say if your Aerlen the first part of the research would add say 2% more defense on top of the all ready gained bonus. And then next part would add some more or maybe some for just PVPing and it keeps getting better the higher up you go. Same for Konqul but with attack. Where as races such as Taltherian can take an hour off or something and maybe at some point up your arti production by a few % at some point as well.

Exactly mojo; i dont know if this idea was mentioned befor hand but maby if dan could expand the idea it would be a nice change.

But like i said you couldn't combined traits even if you research another type. you would only beable to stick to the race benifites that you current are using.

Maby even perhapes for the profession everyone pics there could be a tab for that as well.

I dont know im just tossing out ideas that all the players could talk about so we could get some additions added to the game.

I would love to see this come out then if thats the case. Great idea!

This is a top Idea +1!!

+1

This is a great idea. Advancement of race abilities -- needs to be done to make each race even more specialized / meaningful to the higher ranks beyond the benefits you get at the start. Would fall in line with the racial progression one sees in most RPG type games. I like it.
