New Scanner based on VIP level

Please give us a new scanner that gets stronger based on your VIP level.

VIP level 1 scans should find common items, kind of like it does now.

VIP 7 should get rare items and super rare items on occasion.

VIP 14 scanners should be able to find a gnat on fence post from a light year away...

This is such a worthless feature right now. It's taking up valuable space on the dashboard, it would sure be great if it was more useful.

  • I agree, a boost to the ship's scanners would be appreciated. I think it should be tied with both level and VIP level.
    Captain level could increase amount of items, while VIP could increase the rarity as stated by @RNGeverything.

    That's a great idea. I appreciate a transmission or some credits but beyond that it's lame. It is funny though that you can actually spend dilithium to speed up a scan

    Exactly why they need to change it. Nobody buys an extra scan speedup. This would be a great incentive for people to want to upgrade their VIP level. . I'm only a VIP6, but with the amount of money VIP14's piss away on this game, they should get a little more than the common item from a scan.

    I've been pushing this request for over a year, not sure why DB continues to show no interest in giving higher VIP level players something worthwhile.

    Again, I think this is a great idea. Give me a 3-star item, similar to when you get one as a 3 win streak Gauntlet prize. Good call.

    I absolutely agree. I feel the same way about "winning" single common pulls in the gauntlet. It's a drag to go into the time portal, scroll through the long list of specialty packs, open the common pack screen and wait on the super slow single pull, go back, open it back up, wait on another pull, continue, go back, etc. The x4 speed boost in the pull screen is useless in this instance, with the glitch delay that occurs upon clicking it making the whole thing take even longer.

    It's like "winning" six useless scans. If scans took ten times as long.
    I get that it's free stuff, essentially, which is the light-hearted approach I throw at things like the gauntlet and voyages, but ever since they added the gauntlet and decided to offer a single common pull as a "prize", I've been waiting for them to streamline it.

    If I've got 6 free single pulls, let me hit a buy/free again button in screen so I don't have to go back and forth and wait for it to reload over and over. Or replace single common pulls with basically anything else. My vote is chronitons.

    The alternative could be a reduction of scanner cooldowns the higher you get in the VIP ladder, starting with the 3 hours we have right now for the VIP 0 players, taking 10 minutes away with each level rising, taking the cooldown to a mere 40 minutes at VIP level 14 ... I'd call that a fair deal. :)

    Yeah but you'd still be getting cheap garbage. I like your idea as an addition to the thread topic though.

  • I like the idea of scalable scan rewards. Maybe increase scan rewards with player level, and increase number of scans per day with VIP level.

    Perfect. What would be nice, whether cheap or better rewards is if the did some Dabo magic and it was always something you needed for one character or another.
  • I'm going to bump this because it needs to happen.

  • yes, VIP level should give more benefits. like, WAY more.

    It's an alright idea, I still vouch for special scan-exclusive crew.
    VIP level rewards are dismally underwhelming for sure though.
