I haven't felt the need to post much at all until this schematic change. But I must say this feels ridiculous to go from nothing to these outrageous prices where the only real way to get them is to become a mining bot.
There should have been content ready before this schematic change. Content like, a lot more places to scavenge for loot and possibly find schematics, maybe complete puzzles or treasure hunts with clues or something to find or learn schematics, " quests " maybe. I don't claim to have all the answers but this feels like its being done backwards to a large degree. So much to the point that our little group probably won't be playing until some kind of significant change takes place.
