New Reaper's / Athena's V meta?

@roqqu4965 You are supposed to get emissary progress for fighting in the new system. It adds to the risk reward playstyle.

yes, but so much? 5 levels in 2 fights?

@roqqu4965 I mean why not. You're doing as the system was originally intended. Sinking and fighting other ships. Usually when your a reaper and you run across another emissary ship if they are grade 3 or higher you can usually get to grade 5 from sinking them and taking all their loot. So seems reasonable enough. Plus remember as a reaper you get progress for killing other emissaries as well. Sp that also probably contributed.

Maybe this is a good time for Rare to rework Reaper emissary mechanics.

@wolfmanbush I meant to rework the superpower of every ship being able to see them without any logical reason and the reapers having the superpower to see other ships once level 5 without even going to the hideout. Either they go and collect it from the reapers hideout, have it range limited/server wide announcement once someone becomes one or similar.

If I may suggest. You vote to be a reaper - the sky would turn red for few seconds and similar sound to FOF - players would be able to check their maps where the reaper appeared, but it would not be a live figure where you could see it at all times and would fade over time - players will be able to see reaper ships on the map when they are near them and this range would increase with a higher reaper emissary value. Each time a reaper levels up the emissary value, players would get same ship figure on the map on the last spot where they have leveled up. Once reaching five, reapers would then have to return to the hideout (If I could guess 99.99% of players do this all the time to sell before PVP anyway) then they can pick up the emissary 'quest' reward of seeing other ships on the map. This would again make a server wide announcement (lets say flamenhearts laugh or whatever). If going a step further they could have a red beacon coming out of their captains table instead of a live server figure on the map. So you would be able to tell the reaper is in the general direction, but you would not be sure how far until you are near.

Idk maybe I could express myself better if I gave this more thought but you get the general idea.

@ajm123 I see the forum works great not just for me, im glad it was 'upgraded'

@roqqu4965 Its risk reward, you get heavily rewarded, but once a battle starts, theres no way out, you can get more out of it, but you put everything you have on the line for that bonus.

It seems reasonable to me but we’ll see. Remember right now the matchmaking is probably not perfect because everyone just started playing. However, in a few days you will hopefully fight with people closer to your caliber so getting two won in a row might not be as easy as it is now.
