[b]SO[/b] i can't be the only one who's saddened that amanda is just used to trade 3 transmat effects for a lengendary one. No SRL since launch & exotic sparrows aren't really exotic. [spoiler]oooo some lore, oh wow.... Yeah that's something.[/spoiler] Can we at least have exotic sparrows have exotic perks? Is it to much to ask for the ratking sparrow to grant the effect of having one fire team member with ratking? Or why not have say.... The nessus exotic sparrow grant, i dunno [spoiler]while on nessus kills with energy weapons increase energy weapon damagr by 15% or how about killing a fallen with anyweapon grants kill clip while on nessus?[/spoiler] Be nice if exotic sparrows had some exotic perks. Maybe go ahead and allow us to feel something when we get one. Sure trails are nice but, the 45 fragment exotic sparrow in mars should have an exotic perk. Maybe somethin like [spoiler]grants an additional 15 seconds in all waves of escalation protocol[/spoiler] Now as for [u]sparrow racing[/u] Next time ya do it, do it right. Like crucible we should have a quickplay version and a prestige version. Have the ranking system work with packages and have the prestige version of sparrow racing have a longer cool down effect, longer jumps & harder turns. The perks on sparrows at that point have to be more carefully chosen. I can turn easier but someone who gains more speed while airborne might out race me. As such. Of course the loot from turning in X amount of packages from the prestige races should be an exotic sparrow built by amanda & with design notes from the tower commanders & "others" as such it would of course have better turning, omni transmat, gain more speed while airborne, faster cool down & [spoiler] heavy pike machine guns perhaps [/spoiler] I mean SRL could be insanely fun & honestly would be a far, FAR better way to incentives players to care more for sparrows. I wouldn't mind being able to bet up to 25 silver on a race. That way the over all win amount is so low no one would waste time DDoSing but its high enough to where people with extra silver would want to test their skill. [spoiler]Prestige locked tho. Don't want people crying they lost 100 dollars on here due to being bad racers[/spoiler] If anything silver from eververse also needs an update why can't we get shipments that are worth while? I for one would like to be able to Buy a custom built sparrow or ship with, say 300 silver. And add on to it with glimmer. Have previous ship designs purchaseable for silver [u]D1 & DLC designs[/u] or glimmer [u]base game designs[/u] For example i would like to see the saint 14's ribbons along side the queens bow ribbons on a ship with calus' treasured shader on it. So I'd have to cough up 600 silver for the designs, then 15k glimmer for the paint job after i go and do the prestige raid & I'd have to pay for the transmat effect of my choice [spoiler]WHY CAN'T I PAY AMANDA BRIGHT DUST FOR THE TRANSMAT EFFECT I WANT?![/spoiler] After all of that I'd have a unique looming ship based off previous cosmetics. So this would allow 3 things. [b]1st[/b] it creates a stronger desire for silver. [b]2nd[/b] allows for old cosmetic ships & or effects to be resued after they've become old (example. Curse of osiris and all previous games up till now. And then warmind ship models and designs after the next DLC.) [b]3rd[/b] it makes amanda useful again. Imagine now doing the same with sparrows but being able to purchase add ons via glimmer. Instead of two perks you can have up to four & you can reroll the random mod perk for 50k glimmer until you get the load out you want. Thoughts?
