Why are there absolutely no good enhancements dropping? You only get minor or limited! Games who feature items or enhancements usually greatly benefit from the fact that people want to have stuff. Unfortunately in DS the droprate for good stuff must be the lowest of all games. Instead of increasing the droprate and making the game simply better the sy blockade chance gets increased by 450%! Now the Ai blockades the sy all the time which in fact just lowers the gameflow.
If you make the game less playable instead of more even less ppl will play. On the other hand the enchantment feature is a good chance to attract new ppl to the game. More enhancements = more cash! Its as simple as that.

How about removing AI altogether, and making PvP the only combat again. As far as I can see, grinding for enhancements and AI prestige is killing the game. Even though AI give 10% of the pres, the elite ones are just as dumb, and have a good enhancement to boot.
But, uh, yeah. Stop asking for enhancements, when you could be going out and actually playing. (or farming, not that I particulaly care right now.

Not going to happen... AI is awesome, we will work to continue to make them smarter instead.
I also agree that we need more types of enhancement drops...

That's all good and fine, Faustus. However, PvP is becoming a rarity in the game because people want the big enhancements. Still, you know what you're doing.

Thing is too Draf tried to get some with trade-offs like you have - so basically you could tune your ship towards something at the expense of something else, generally keeping the overall balance the same but adding more specialization. But it was decided that that makes it too complicated and unfun; its more fun to be leet and good at everything, hence the current Enhancements.
