(PC) Empyrean: Railjack General Feedback Megathread

[b4timert]

The railjack layout went with form over functionality. and it doesn't even look cool.

spaceships is normally very compact. But lets ignore that for now. The biggest offence i have with the the layout is that it not meant for tenno but dax soldiers and were using it.

Where is the drop pod locations for them? crew counters? beds?toilets? straps for atmosfeer reentry? how does Dax troops even use the slingshot? are they suicide goblins?

is it a gun ship, boarder ship or a troop transport fighter ship because how it currently is i dont know because it isnt good at anything its a jack of all trades master of none. 

if its a gunship it needs more guns.

a transport ship? for its space it doesnt have enough places to sit troops.

border? were is the launch pads or place for crew?

gunship? gun placement is bad nothing at rear or below or above it to fight off fighters.

 

the grineer crew ships have a better layout than the raljack at least it know what it is.

also why is none of the POE ship there? they clearly look like spaceship or a assumed they were since they have that space jump ability something not even the spaceships have.

On a side note why is there fall off damage in space there isn't falloff due to range in space unless if your were fighting in the atmosphere.

I immediately thought of the extra in mass effect talking about newton's first law as you walk past...

The dock is also nondescript and it's all samey as the nondescript corridors in the dojo...a manifestation of wasted space and no reason to be there. Honestly the whole dojo and its rooms could easily be stationed around the dock. Downsized and streamlined 

A secondary thought cetus has a bad layout, fortunas layout is worse than cetus. 

Relays and dojos probably could serve the same function!?

That railjack ship layout is terrible, el terrible. Its is not functional, its not properly configured to relay the goings on for ship or cargo.

It Needs a few corridors And special areas and Whats up with the top area...it has no way to get up there logically....whatever the excuse there is one better than what was chosen. Just because its sentients don't mean its has to be so bizarre it doesn't make sense.

And will there be a reason for all the non ship related just for looks add-ons hanging all around the design. Only thing I can muster that it's some ow connected to the solar rails. Having that gondola look going on about it. Simply put I just don't agree with it. I've played too many and seen too many designs to accept this as good. 

Ontop of the Nothing's labeled to make sense of it. A generic place holder display is not cutting it. I need to see that it's an exit from afar, arsenal from afar, turret controls from afar. Ships systems and read outs ( in real time preferred). 

"Hey maybe this fighter ship design is why the sentients were defeated...its not up to par".

Just want to echo this player's sentiments.

The Railjacks bizarre layout is the typical Orokin “let’s make it pretty and swoopy and filigreed! What even is ergonomics?”

Another note for a short term fix for a bigger issue. All Platforms will receive this very soon since it's a Data fix:

Tenebrous Ephemera Removal and Future Acquisition:
We will TEMPORARILY remove the Tenebrous Ephemera as a drop from Reinforced Sentient Containers aboard the Sentient Anomaly in Veil Proxima. The drop method is causing numerous issues in terms of connectivity stability and player frustration. We’re going to be changing the acquisition method that won’t involve a direct drop rate in a near future Hotfix/Update, and will instead be closer to a token system (complete X Anomaly missions to buy Ephemera from a vendor).
The Tenebrous Ephemera will be coming back as soon as possible in a better acquisition method

Thank you, Reb. I hope you are looking into standardizing Ephemera acquisition based on a token system and/or specific challenges as initially mentioned nearly a year ago. I almost quit the game after getting burned out farming the Blazing Step Ephemera (1% ESO C rotation) and even though I maxed out all 5 focus trees and got over 20 million excess focus in the process I still didn't get it and had to quit it as to not sour my enjoyment of the game as a whole.

Course correcting the ephemera farm, reducing RNG, back to the "challenge mentality"?

Thank you very much! 👍👍

Thank. God.

[Hello]

Surprised it's not going to be thrown into Nightwave like certain other ephemera's was *cough* Eidolon epehemera "achievement" *cough cough*. I guess I might have a reason to go back to playing railjack now, just hope y'all fix the enemies/archguns you broke since you turned them into bullet sponges and they take twice as long to kill.

Great! Now do this with the Exploiter Orb, Profit Taker, and all the other Ephemeras with drop chance!

They should be EARNED, not random drops

This is great news, can we get this for the other drop chance based ephemeras aswell?

But why not have it instantly awarded when smashing *spoiler* with *spoiler* ? No need to be a grind, why not just be a bonus to the start of the *spoiler* quest. Ephemeras dont have to be grindy, weren't them meant to be earned as an achivement of something? Completing a set number of anomalies isn't an achivement, is tedious work that fluffs the rewards

[Aizen237]

would be nice if u guys do that for umbra forma too 1 for x tokens idk why ppl are crazy about that ephemera not hot

Will this apply to other Ephemeras going forward? It was pitched originally as a cosmetic you get from challenge completion, not just a rare drop in future game modes. Blazing Step is still 1.01% in rotation C of ESO for example...

I'm expecting the short term fix to become the long term fix going off past experience, but removing that ephemera from rare containers can only be a good thing going forward.

so it'll be nightwave season 3 drop then. cool.

Some of us had to suffer to get it. Turning it into a token reward is just an insult to everyone who farmed it up, honestly. At least make it difficult to get. This also doesn't address Umbra Forma being literally the exact same thing. And Rush Repair Drones.

same for the Umbra forma or we still need to hope for rng ? maybe do another token for normal railjack missions that we can trade for umbra forma (like 50 runs for 1 umbra forma BP) , so we have a reason to go in railjack after completing all the intrinsics and building a ship with perfect stuff

And the world thanks you for your sacrifice...

You make it sound like you had to go without food for weeks to get this cosmetic. It aint like you had to perform a highly skillfull task, so it's good that they remove a toxic and pointless grind.

Good to hear.

As @Voltage has suggested, will this apply to any other chance-based ephemera in the future? Specifically ones tied to relatively menial activities like ESO.
