Take sparrows, ships, and ghost shells out of Eververse...

And give them to Amanda and Ikora respectively. These two are almost as useless as the Faction leaders, which is a shame for Ikora in particular because she used to have a purpose even if it wasn't much. I also shouldn't need to explain why it makes no sense for Amanda to give you the story missions even though she only had 3 parts in the entirety of the Red War (2 out of 3 just being our uber) and nothing beyond that. If anything, it would make more sense for Ikora to give us back the old campaign missions in addition to allowing players access to more ghost shells while Amanda gives out sparrows/ships. [u][b]For Ghost Shells:[/b][/u] Strip the perks from the ghost shells and make them an "empty frame." Allow Ikora to sell a few of these these empty ghost frames a week in addition to a small pool of mods that change daily. These consumable mods will be treated as vehicle mods (such as transmat effects or the old weapon/armor mods) so they don't clutter your main inventory, and you can turn in excess mods to Ikora for dismantle similar to Drifter's mote synths if you want. Better/rarer mods (such as Guiding Light) as well as exotic ghost shells are locked behind newly revamped story missions explained below. Shells earned through Nightfalls or Raids will not drop in these new story missions, and perhaps a few can be moved to such instead. Story Mission idea: [spoiler]Create tiered story missions similar to the Nightfall: Ordeal, powerful/pinnacle gear included; in addition, you get increased odds of an exotic shell or mod the higher the completed tier which is further increased by completing the weekly challenge. This is probably asking a lot out of Bungie, snarky jokes aside, but it seems like it would have more replayability if done right, especially compared to the seasonal events. It could also be open to other rewards as well.[/spoiler] What we now get are fully customizable ghost shells, another useful vendor, the ability to acquire more and rarer shells outside of Eververse, and story missions now have a renewed purpose. [u][b]For Sparrows and Ships:[/b][/u] Do something similar to sparrows by stripping them of their current mods and allow you to fully customize them with mods you've acquired. In addition, make new mods that enhance current sparrow performance such as an enhanced speed driver or sparrow armor, or just miscellaneous things such as sparrow horns and trails. How these mods are acquired are up for debate; feel free to comment below on ways to earn them. Admittedly, ships will still be useless no matter what, so maybe just make them a rare playlist drop or something with Exotic ships being a rare drop from completing a challenge. Perhaps Amanda can sell ship trails as well. In any case, there's a better reason for more players to visit her. What are the community's thoughts? Constructive criticism is appreciated.

  • Who cares about the the cosmetic crap everese sells. Knock yourself out if you want to buy but i really don't care. If bungie makes a couple bucks from idiots that pay for stuff from her good for them. I'd rather they focus on other issues in game but i don't give 2 shifts about cosmetics they sell. And if you want them to stop selling then people need to stop buying.
