Hey Dan,

Look in the subject.. Ship-bots is one of few artifacts that are not being used at all by high rank players in any way. I even have 777 shipbots myself and I see many others with over 1k shipbots doing NOTHING.. So would be nice to add new artifact (whatever you want or players throw in ideas) to drain ship-bots for first time..

Thanks.

I think that a new mod for your ship that lets you raise one of your stats, of your choosing, by 5% but then it lowers one of your stats, also of your choosing, by 3%. This would include attack, defense, energy, scan, cloak, hull, and shield. Maybe even add decks in with all that.

yah there has been a lot of us high ranking ships that has been asking for such Blue print. Will someone pls link all of those thead here??

Aye. Gotta remind Dan again once in a while while he is developing new things.

Those are the only two I could find.

Well, I still need my shipbots, but at least this would give us a chance for Mento to accomplish something in our broken CTLab...

Hahaha

Another idea instead of the mod one is something that is consumable. Maybe have an arti that does what I said instead or if you don't like that idea then maybe something more like this. Have suicide bots made from the ship bots. Something that you can shoot at NPC's or other players and they do a large amount of damage to them. Allow them to be shoot at boss NPC's too so others can get locks on them even if they are out of energy or something.

A consumable is a much better way to go. Otherwise you'll be stuck again ten minutes after unlocking the recipe for a ship mod.

CTL blue print that allows you to add to you base.. 500 ship bots. Additional Special slot or something.

Two CT-Lab Artifacts:

NPC Paradox Device - Artifact

Cost: 200 Energy - 10 Ship Bots / 50 Unstable Wormhole Emitters / 5 Interspacial Fold Generators

Ability: When Used Identical NPC's Appear Through A Tear In Space Time(Max. 8 NPC's). 1 Per 24 Hour Period. > Your NPC Tab could contain a Max of 16 NPC's after this is used, but returns to 8 once you have disabled the NPC's.



Replicator Time Dilation Field - Ship Module

Cost - 500 Energy - 500 Ship Bots(The Replicators) / 250 Time Manipulators(Create Time Dilation Field) / 5 Temporal Flux Orb's(Encases The Area In a Temporal Bubble)

Size: 200 - Ship Limit: 1

Ability: Once Per 24 Hours 10 Ship Bots(Replicators) can be exchanged for Human Form Replicators. 5% Chance Of Crew Death.

Human Form Replicators: Artifact: +5 Rank Points

Or make them tradeable Ive got 1200 decks of crap to install!

No tradeable please. What stops high rank ships to supply bots to alt accounts to make their low rank ships overpowered??

I would still like to see this added I myself think small fighters would be cool give small benefits each ship or so many ships each takes up so much space

Hey good idea about small fighters that can cost decksize and has no limit to add fighters just like crew but difference is that fighters require decksize space while crew requires nothing.. Then we have every reason to increase our size without limit. Maybe add new tech tree that focus on fighter and any other unlimited item (such as repair bots, etc) size line?

Wouldn't the addition of a new tech level (i.e. another layer of research added to all existing groups) create some use for the ship bots...not to mention research at high ranks?

maybe instead of tradeable make them shareable 1 shared every 24 hours cant be abused so easily?

this wouldn't do anything for the problem being addressed. The issue is that high ranks have little to no use for ship bots once they have room for every module possible. Sharing would not get rid of that useless(for them) artifact.

I would prefer to see a repeatable mission, where the reward is something like the Contact Coordinates. Make it available after rank 600 after the good NPCs have vanished and the have only a few to select from. Cost like 200 energy 1 ship bot, 10 rounds.

Release a Bi-Weekly mission chain that requires Ship Bots and is about Ship Bots gaining AI, and then becoming a super advance computer race hell bent on destroying the galaxy for the use and abuse there "people" suffered.

Then having a racial ability that use's Ship Bots to contruct a Death Star thus allowing the player to win GL.

(Serious suggestion)
