Will the alert system be getting some changes? Currently I feel like these alerts which only reward credits are pretty much dead and no one does them. I know we can't have 24/7 BP alerts, but perhaps just adding some materials or something to the alerts which are credits only would be a good start. Although with the new drop rates that might not be a great solution either. Maybe a point system where you can earn points for doing alerts and there are daily/weekly tiers of rewards for that?
Also, will you ever introduce a cooldown system for abilities? It seems it would be far easier to balance warframe abilites using a cooldown system than the current RNG energy system, which with current energy drops/energy siphon/energy vamp is pretty much broken. I feel there needs to be some major balancing in this area.
How about unlocks for dojo statues/decorations through things accomplished in game? For example, we can unlock a fusion Moa statue after the clan has killed x# of fusion moas?
How about some sort of salvaging system for weapons that you are going to get rid of? Or being able to recover potatoes from weapons that are obsolete? ( example i have potatoed latron, once i have latron prime, i have no reason to have a regular latron). You could have the salvage system introduce some sort of chance to get materials back, which would of course cost credits to use. ( which would add another much needed credit sink to the game). As far as recovering reactors/catalysts, perhaps it could be a dojo workshop room which would take special tools and materials to do. (IE you need to build the room/make 1-2 tool items/then spend some materials to get the potato back.. the room/tools would be permanent once built). I think a system like this would be far better than the current way which is you build a weapon, max it, then if you dont want it anymore you just sell it for a tiny amount of credits.
just a few ideas.
EDIT: perhaps extend the transmutation system to include BP/parts/maybe tower keys?
