Change skirmish to be customisable. Or give custom games persistance

[Imperator5]

always this walls of text for simple topics ...
yes, skirmish should not have the level system.

What? That's a different topic. Please do not spam this one, ok? This is about customisable battles, not level system.

We're talking about a complete different topic. Not me nor Imperator5 have mentioned the level sys.

You guys need to stop spamming the same goddamn whine in every thread

wrong topic, no need to be this hostile my ladies.

Giving customisation to skirmish would also increase DLC sales. PVE Players would mostly, as it is now, play campaign and leave.


But if they get a good, customisable skirmish/custom with progression and upgrades and all, they will stay and do the online equivalent of "narrative" games.

Now why is this good? People who left the game buy no DLCs.

I still agree with you on the skirmish part, though if it's a simple MP sim we do have a problem here.

That's what they have stated is the purpose of Solo Skirmish. To 'train' you to be able to play multiplayer.

That's all fine and dandy, but why can't we have the same progression system for custom? PVE crowd needs game to play too. Campaign won't keep them.

I wonder, under what circumstances would it be reasonable to disagree with the OP here? What's the major problem from a gameplay or customer satisfaction standpoint with allowing both PvP and PvE players to have the same customization in their preferred matches? Is there a better reason than "coz devs said so" here, because that reasoning sounds an awfully lot like a large number of us are being told we're not the target audience for this game.

I agree with you, if there isn't a change to skirmish or custom to be able to customise the battles completely and have some co-op PvE, then their will be a lot of people leaving after they have completed the campaign.

Though if they have bought the game, what do the Dev's care? They already have their money and the ones who buy DLC for PvP multiplayer will continue to fill their pockets.

Maybe it could be a fourth mode:

- Campaign
- Skirmish with the randomization aspect as it is now
- Skirmish vs AI with customization settings, map selection opponent selection etc. For example I want to be able to choose my enemy type and enemy ship type and numbers, for example if I only wanted one cruiser as an enemy.
- Multiplayer.

I just want the customisable Skirmish to have permanent fleet progression, upgrades, favours, levelling of ships etc too. This is the mode that PVE players would play. This is the mode what fans of the lore would play.
