Chapter 929 Selecting the Main Combat Units in the Future

Just when Jiang Yao was still thinking about these questions, at this time on the other side.

The players on Chen Yao's side had completed the task and came to hand in the task.

Seeing the players coming, Chen Yao immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"Have you fighters been able to control the drones skillfully?"

Hearing this, several people nodded.

"Commander, we can already skillfully control 30 drones."

Hearing this, Chen Yao pretended to be very surprised.

"I didn't expect that several fighters were familiar with the operation so quickly."

"In that case, please follow me, fighters."

As he spoke, Chen Yao brought several people to the simulation room.

After arriving here, several people began to operate. Because there was a script, the overall operation was very smooth.

Seeing the operation of several people, Chen Yao also began to think about how to give the reward.

"According to my settings, the trading currency in this game is points, and the resources obtained by players can be exchanged for points here."

"Of course, in addition to points, there is also the concept of level, which is used to unlock mall props."

"The higher the level, the better the unlocked items."

The mall items are also carefully selected by Chen Yao, which are helpful for his current stage.

At this time, Chen Yao's mall has prepared a lot of goods.

Originally, he thought that players would directly become level one after completing the task.

Then he would unlock all the things in the mall for them.

But after thinking about it, he gave up this idea.

He planned to unlock a few less items each time. Unlocking too many at a time is not a good thing for him now.

So after careful selection, he chose a set of armor and a mining mecha.

The role of the armor is to provide a layer of protection for players in case of emergencies, and the mining mecha is to replace drones to improve collection efficiency.

In fact, Chen Yao wanted to directly put players on mining ships at the beginning, but the price of mining ships in the system mall is also very high, a full five-digit points.

Although players can still collect enough if they work hard.

But the cycle required is very long.

Working hard for a period of time to collect enough for a mining ship is not a problem in reality, but Chen Yao, as a planner, feels that it is not feasible in the game.

If a new game wants to retain players, it needs to have high playability. .

Who can stand it if they enter the game and keep mining?

So after thinking about it, Chen Yao changed his strategy.

After making up his mind, Chen Yao immediately began to make arrangements.

Obviously, he has his own arrangements for how to keep players here.

Although it is far from what Jiang Yao imagined, at least this matter has been handled.

To be precise, it should be at least aware of this problem.

In fact, Chen Yao also thought of this point, after all, he was a game planner before crossing.

He knew very well that if a game wants to retain players, not only does the game need to be of high quality, but the most important thing is to give players some visible benefits.

At first, he wanted to improve the players' physique, but later, according to research, he found that it was very difficult to do so and the cost was very high.

And the most critical thing is that after upgrading the clones, you cannot guarantee that the players will not die. Once the players die, the problem comes. The previously upgraded clones will be scrapped.

You must consider two factors. The first factor is that the previously upgraded clones are scrapped, and a large amount of resources are consumed. This is borne by yourself and the players. Secondly, it is about combat units, whether it is warships or other things, which also requires costs.

After the players die, these things are gone, which means that the death penalty of this game is too severe.

The loss of the original vehicles may be difficult for the players to accept, but they have to add a property that the players themselves have strengthened.

Add these two things together. If it really dies once, it will be heartbreaking. Who can accept this kind of death penalty?

And this is also the biggest problem.

There are too many things involved.

As a planner, the first thing to solve is the problem of combat loss, because if this problem is not solved, it is not so easy for both myself and the players to accept it.

Take the players for example, they worked hard to make so many things, but they lost them all. Their mentality will definitely be greatly hit, and the same is true for me. So after thinking about it, he tried to reduce this kind of loss as much as possible within his ability.

Directly abandon the player's physical strengthening.

Put the level mechanism on the opening of the mall purchase authority. The first point is that players have their own goals, so they will definitely work hard to help themselves and unlock the things they want to buy.

After unlocking, they need game currency, so they need to continue to work hard to earn enough currency to buy.

In Chen Yao's plan, he wants to create the definition of this game. The level of the players, that is, unlocking the mall props, is the most important.

Other things are secondary.

In this way, even if there is a big loss, the players will feel sad, but they will not lose hope.

As long as the players subconsciously think that it doesn't matter if the things are lost, their level is there anyway, and they only need to do a little to buy the same things.

This is his plan. In this way, because there are levels, the players will also improve well. For them, even if they don't have what they want now, they can buy what they want as long as their level is in place in the future.

And that's enough.

Of course, this is only his first step. The loss of players is always a big problem. If this problem is not solved, even if he uses this method, it will still cause a lot of players to leave.

So he must think of a solution before the number of players increases significantly.

While thinking, he distributed the task rewards to the players this time, and then left.

At this time, the three people who completed the task looked at Chen Yao and started communicating again after he left.

"Oh my god, this wave of experience rewards is quite a lot. This wave directly upgraded us to level one." At this time, looking at his authority level, he came to the level one sky dome and was a little excited.

Looking at the excited Sky Dragon, he focused on the items in the mall.

"This is unusual, after all, I have exceeded the task." Star Dragon pointed to the unlocked items in the mall.

"Brothers, look at the unlocked items in the mall, the Whale-class strategic industrial ship, the Dragon God-class mecha, and the A3 Hercules industrial mecha." Star Dragon looked at the items in the mall and couldn't help but be moved.

Especially when he saw the Dragon God mecha that looked similar to the first generation machine in EVA, Star Dragon silently made up his mind to buy one.

However, looking at the six-digit price of this mecha, he knew that it was impossible to buy it in a short time.

So he turned his attention to the A3 Hercules industrial mecha.

The shape of this mecha is very similar to a mecha called Cherno Alpha in a movie he had seen before.

The overall gray paint gives players a very heavy feeling.

This mecha is equipped with a complete set of ore processing production lines in its bloated body.

The collected ore can be processed immediately, and after the ore is processed, the volume can be reduced once, and more resources can be brought back.

Because of the blessing of these things, the estimated mining efficiency of this mecha has reached an astonishing 500 points per day.

"This mecha is awesome." Seeing that the collection efficiency is so high, Xingkonglong's eyes lit up.

Then he set his sights on the price of this mecha.

"Two thousand points, this price is not too expensive."

At this time, hearing what Xingkonglong said, several people also set their sights on this mecha.

"I went to this mecha to see something, the overall height is 40 meters, although the main function is mining.

But based on this size, the combat power will not be weak no matter how." While saying this, Tianqiong also began to calculate in his mind.

"NPC lent us 30 mining drones."

"And the NPC also mentioned that the daily output of a drone should be around 1 to 1.5 points."

"It is definitely not enough to rely on these drones to collect enough money to buy a mecha, so what we need to do in the early stage is to dig out as many mining drones as possible."

Suifeng, who was standing next to Tianqiong, added.

"If we use scripts, we can control 30 drones at most. According to the output of 30 points a day, it will take at least 100 days for me to buy this thing."

This matter is naturally unacceptable to several people.

"This cycle is too long." Tianqiong looked at Xingkonglong.

"By the way, Xingkong boss, do you have any way to optimize it so that we can control more?"

After hearing what Tianqiong said, Xingkonglong thought for a while and then said.

"The drones controlled in actual combat seem to be different from those in simulation. I have to actually operate them to know."

As he said, he looked at several people.

"Let me try it first and see if I can optimize it."

In this way, several people came to the drone control room while talking.

Chen Yao also carefully selected the things to be unlocked this time. First of all, there are mechas, an industrial mecha and a combat mecha. Although the combat mecha is not used now, it is always better to be prepared. As for the industrial mecha, it is naturally to improve the collection efficiency of players. As for the battleship, it is the same. This is an industrial battleship.

It is mainly responsible for assisting in the collection of resources and transportation.

"If players exchange all these things, my mining efficiency will be increased many times."

"However, it is not easy to build these things by digging so many resources with drones. Mechas are okay, but battleships consume a lot of resources."

"It is not difficult to see from this point that if we really want to talk about cost performance, my main combat unit in the future will definitely be mechas."

"There are not so many messy problems on the mecha side."

"Compared to warships, if you use mechas, the cost of a conventional warship can at least produce several mechas. Although the disadvantages of mechas are very obvious, the first point is that they cannot fight at long distances, which is the biggest problem."

"However, you can choose to use warships for transportation, so you don't have to worry about so many things, but the transported warships are very vulnerable to attacks, which is the biggest flaw."

"But the cost is a little flawed here, which is not incomprehensible."

Indeed, for mechas, because of their own situation, in order to improve their combat capabilities, they must save a lot of things. The first point is personnel. Most of the personnel are to supply the weapon system of the mecha itself.

Secondly, in order to maximize the combat capabilities of the mecha, there is no space to install things like the jump system, and there is no energy to support these things.

In other words, the combat mode of mechas is short-term combat. If you want to fight long-distance and long-term, it is simply impossible.

In normal combat, warships are also needed to transport them to the combat area.

It seems that there are many disadvantages, but it has one biggest advantage, which is saving resources.

With the same resources, you may only be able to build a guard or destroyer-level warship.

But for mechas, you can at least build a dozen or twenty of them.

The resource usage of the two is completely different.

However, the lethality of these dozen or twenty mechas is naturally far greater than that of warships.

The cost performance of the two is completely different.

And this is the key point.

Simply put, the mecha has lost so many things in exchange for stronger combat capabilities. For those who are short of resources in the early stage but want to improve their overall combat capabilities as soon as possible, this is undoubtedly a very good choice.

In its planning, the subsequent battles are mainly based on mechas, supplemented by warships.

The reason for this decision is actually based on the situation of the players. Players are not like other space warriors. If they insist on saying that they can be resurrected immediately after death, but their memories and combat experience are retained, which means that they will become more and more proficient in operating mechas.

After proficiency, combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, which is a very good cycle.

From a certain perspective, the process of a player going from unfamiliar to familiar has training costs, and this mecha can minimize the training costs.

So with so many advantages, those disadvantages are not unacceptable. After all, there is nothing in this world that is so-called flawless.

After making a judgment in his mind, he turned his attention to the players. After all, this wave of players is really controlling the drone. He is not nervous, this is fake.

He is also worried that something will happen at that time, and it will be embarrassing if his drone is scrapped.
