Crew amount per level should be different

[Deltrex]

I think the current crew amount per player level is not ideal and should be changed somewhat.

 

Levels currently

Level 1: 40

Level 2: 60

Level 3: 120

Level 4: 150

Level 5: 200

Level 6: 250

Level 7: 350

Level 8: 650

Level 9: 800

Level10: 1100

 

Levels should be

Level 1: 50

Level 2: 100

Level 3: 150

Level 4: 200

Level 5: 250

Level 6: 300

Level 7: 450

Level 8: 650

Level 9: 850

Level10: 1100
 

This change would have two benefits:

 - It would make the initial grind shorter and get players a bit faster in ships relevant to PvP

 - It would make the last 4 ranks 4th rate, 3rd rate, 2nd rate and 1st rate and therefore effectively giving 4th rates (and maybe smaller 3rd rates) its own player level.

What is also a possibilty is that you put one rank extra so you get 11 ranks instead of 10

Why would you want to increase the already long grind?

 

Extra levels would be even worse than the current system and add nothing to the game experience.

becouse more ranls put ppl in a more efficient ship faster, so yes more ranks but also easyer grind

we need a extra lvl atm consti is useless, as post captian u drive it maybe undercrewed as flag captian u sail a 3rd rate

What I would do, to give people the impression that the grind goes faster, is the following:

I am going to use Post Captain as an example.

 

Post Captain needs 50.000XP to go to flag captain.

Your max crew is 350 and the next rank gives you 650, so 300 extra.

 

Is just give 75 crew extra at every 12.500XP you are in that rank, so 1/4 of the crew when you did 1/4 of the XP.

So you don't realy have the feeling like you are stuck with the same 2 ships for a whole rank, but can slightly undercrew some higher ships.

Good idea!
