About our useless ships...

(A little “fan” service at the end, that’s for you DR TORGUE!) Dear Bungie and The Forums, [spoiler]TL;DR Bungie should add in dogfights and make some other destinations for us to find and explore.[/spoiler] Hi! It’s me! Jubi! And today I am here to write to you about the ships twin your game. “Yeah?” says dmg(control)04 or a random Bungie employee, “What about ‘em?” “Well,” I respond, “they’re f**king useless!!!” Seriously! WTF?! The first thing I think of when I think of sci-fi anything is Star Wars (plz don’t kill me Disney!). I always think of the awesome dogfights therein. Does Destiny have anything remotely close to that? No. Also, what is the fact that even though humanity was forced into the space of a small country? But we are able to sit in orbit for hours on end and encounter nothing? Hello?! Is the Vanguard that stupid?! If we are able to do that then why haven’t we sent up space stations, orbital weapons, and shit?! Anyways, since I have more to say that doesn’t include the stupidity of the Vanguard, let’s move on. Aside from some ships looking AWESOME, ships in Destiny have no real point. We can’t fight anything with them, we can’t explore, etc. let’s change that. Dogfights, exploration, and free drift should all be options. I could switch everyone’s ships in the game to a random one there would be no difference. So since we all know what dogfights are let’s get right into this. Since our ships are relatively the same I think I have a way to diversify them. Since our ships all have a tier, each ship you receive will start with a gun of the same tier. Except for exotic ships which already have a full weapon system with a corresponding theme. A weapon system consists of a gun, a missile launcher, and heavy artillery. You can get these by doing the nightfall, aircraft related missions or strikes, or killing enemy ships (gives you enemy themed weapons). Or buy them from Amanda Holiday. It’s pretty straightforward from there. There are tons (literally) of planets and moons in our solar system. And I don’t get why we can’t explore them, we have a ship that can exceed the motherf**king speed of light! But Bungie can do what No Mans Sky did, but better. You see the problem with No Mans Sky is that they made a planet generation engine. Not creating the worlds by hand. I’m not asking Bungo to make the full solar system, just a few planets to explore. I mean, let’s face it if they can’t make the gameplay interesting than let’s let them do something they can do well... world design and soundtrack design. I would love to go to Europa and get a little ice critter and make it my pet. I am not asking for much, just a few planets, hell just recycle Venus and Mars and that’s two, make a few moons and boom. More content for us to discover and explore. I LOVE what they did with Nessus and would love to see more places like it. Alright, so free drift. It is really most basically orbit but you are drifting in space instead of orbit. There. All my topics, except for that “fan” service. So in my previous post (Titled: Alternative to Sparrows?) was received pretty well. And someone asked for me to do one on the Titan sea monster. That, someone, was DR TORGUE. And here we are. So once you get your Ahamkara you can go to Sloane to receive the quest to get your sea monster. You need to gather materials to make a submarine then take and tame it then bam. You got a sea monster. I am not going to go any farther into details because this is already very long. Try and guess which YouTuber’s intro style I am using! PEACE! -JubilantDart351 Edit b/c trending: Thank you so much for the support! It means so much to me! Although we don’t have many upvotes I still love that you guys did this!

    • Yeah... I definitely like the idea, it would be a fun thing to do. Although, there are so many other things wrong with the game right now, I'd rather have those fixed first, and then have things like this added later. I really do like the idea though!

      • This is cool and all. The fact that our ships are loading screens is neat in it's own. Better then looking at a game's version of flash cards tbh

        • There are so many more important things that need fixing to improve the quality of the game. There will always be something better to develop than this. I don't want Bungie to waste any time on any of this which would just put everything on the roadmap further back and get in the way of making further dlc centered around fps which is what this game is all about.

          • If our ships were more useful, we could have had air strikes against the enemies. No need to drop off guardians on a suicide missions.

          • I really like this idea, there already has been space combat in Destiny (the space battle at the start of The Taken King, and when Amanda flew you to the Cabal ship in Homecoming) so it'd be cool to actually do some flying yourself. Imagine the mission where you land on the Dreadnaught with the stealth drive, having to pilot the ship in between the debris from the battle in order to avoid the scanners and make it aboard alive, it could be fantastic.

                • I prefer that Bungie spends their time making quality of life updates to the game. I don't feel this is a quality of life change.

                    • I bet you this would end up a dlc pack for $15 if they did it. Then add all but 1 ship compatible into eververse for purchase.

                        Few ideas: (probably already mentioned) Components that allow the ship to: - Orbital bombardment - Perform strafe runs - Transmat obstacles to work as cover as well to crush enemies with - Use the transmat capabilities as a loadout profile system. The better the ship+transmat mod the more loadouts you could have and the faster they would be in use. While some of the ideas for additional game modes sound fun, I think the game would be better served by expanding the existing modes with additional gimmicks. EDIT: Your ship would also function as your vault.

                        • Wouldn't it be cool if we had a little interior space within our spaceship, that we could walk around in?

                          • To everyone who says this is too much work, Bungie can't do it, it's just a loading screen, etc.: Bungie ALREADY DID THIS in Halo:Reach - they put space dogfighting in an FPS, and it was FUN. There is no reason they can't do it again if they wanted to.

                              Phenomenal idea, I made something to that effort back in D1. They could have created a huge dogfight mission when the queen raided the dreadnought. We could have then crash landed with Uldren somewhere, forcing us to work together and work to build a stealth drive after taking over a ship. Why not a dogfight to approach and board the Leviathan? Send a couple royal cabal ships to stop us from doing what we do. There are many, many opportunities for this. Weapons and whatnot, I agree with. Doing missions, grinding for ship parts, etc. Would be awesome! Ships with skill trees, too? Randomly rolled? Roll: Thruster x3 options | Shield (+Def) or Weapon (+DPS) | Hull x3 options | Wildcard Exploration / "Patrolling" the Solar System would be incredible. Yes, please reuse planets from D1. Heck, reuse some locations! It makes sense, all the same universe.. I wanna go into the middle of Mars and find some long forgotten vex gate, or even a large cabal compound. Pick a spot on Venus and delve into uncharted Jungles. This would be a revolutionary feature to the game. Why not have Crucible dog fights, while we're at it? We need some fun in this game and this would be a good way to do it.

                              • Currently on Xbox the best spaceship game is called Elite Dangerous. I haven’t seen any indications from. Bungie about usable jumpships ever. But at least they haven’t said we can never have usable jumpships. Sigh.

                                The [i]Onyx Lance[/i] is a humble ship: -Twin engines mounted side by side with armor emphasized toward the forward mounts and outward sides. -A vertical pivot point for the twin engine mount that is also protected by thick armor which doubles to protect the power supply. -Large emphasis on armor toward the front and exposed frontal sides. -A horizontally narrow fuselage that holds a consistent outward slope to allow the cockpit superb armor and effective visibility to either side and a slight bulge one third down from the nose that houses a retractable weapon system of rotary guns with concussive rounds and high caliber cannons using armor piercing ammunition. -A rounded Ace-like vertical facade with a solid, unbroken, heavily reinforced brace lining the entire vertical outline of the non-vectored main fuselage. [i]Why?[/i] -This brace serves as the mount for a triple-lined, Dimond tipped, counter rotating [i]Ship-to-Ship Chainsaw Ramming System because I AM THE WEAPON![/i]
