Yes, the resource gathering in this game is 100% broken. I also want to like this game. The mining system they had before, was tedious, but it was more fun than this. Finding meganodes, then mining them was ok, this is not functional or fun. Novaquark really needs to rethink this one. And yes, taxes are also not functional, they would be if the resource gathering mechanics worked properly. So yes.....did the devs pick up a copy of EMPYRION? NOPE! Did they check out the mining in that? NOPE! That has fun mining with mining vehicles.

Yes it does, but only after it is feature complete and balanced. That is many years away. No need to talk about it now.
Oh, you mean after PvE.....so never! lol.

Of course the game needs a wipe. Everyone knows it, and no one wants to say it. This is a no brainer for any company looking to take over this project. WIPE HYPE is real!
-
So....did I miss all the NQ answers on this post? Or did NQ just put up a 'ask your questions' post without answering ONE question asked....WOW! I feel.....disharmony in the force within NQ. GOOD LUCK!
-
So people are already leaving. Will NQ care? We will see.
-
yes, this was a bonehead move by NQ. Most will leave the game and never return, especially after all the hard work they put in. Freeport will disappear. Congratulations NQ, you just broke your game with this taxes thing. I get the mining/digging changes to save money, but the taxes thing, and the broken auto mining will just not work. Change it....or lose your player base.
-
I think there will be plenty of resources as people leave the game. This was a huge screwup NQ....I play, occasionally now, and that may not happen in the future.
-
yes, this new mechanic of 'calibrating' the units every day is making me not want to play. The whole point was to 'automate' the process, not make it more boring. YES, I've logged in recently...and yes, I'll do my upkeep on the Porco Towers. But please change this. Thank you.

what the hell is a LEGION? sounds like a bunch of losers! ?
-
How about player controlled NPCs. So that we can populate the world a bit. Set up shops with shopkeepers. Have 'guards' that can be placed. This would be player controlled but fun.
-
They really need some form of PVE....they will come around to this....people want a world to play in.

Right now, the biggest problem in this game is you lack players and this is continuing to dwindle! Nobody is blogging about politics in this game because #1. it's limited to the command type, #2. there is lack of activity.
I quitted this game to blog about politics in real-life! There is nothing for me to blog about this game, it's dead!
or here!

You know why people couldn't care less about politics in this game? Because organizations in this game are autocratic and totalitarian. Systems in real-life have evolved to be more equitable and liberal, and what kind of system do you exercise in this game? The old dynastic system during the feudal pre-globalized period with a class system! Some rulers are able to preserve this tradition today such as Brunei for example. Before Brunei was reduced to a small country it is today, it actually was a powerful thalassocratical empire! Sarawak, Sabah, western parts of Mindanao (including Sulu islands), southern part of Luzon, parts of Kalimantan, Belitung island, Mindoro, and Palawan, were all parts of Brunei through it's influence. They lost all those territories when the Westerners colonized Southeast Asia and the Bruneian monarch became a British protectorate. This empire is able to survive today with 500K population and small territory ruled by a sultan as the absolute monarch without any distinction between the wealth of the country and wealth of the sultanate. The world has changed so much today yet you still structure organizations in this game like we are still in the feudal period! Your system doesn't bear any semblance to the modern system and standard we have today in the real world! Why would the public care about the politics in this game if they can't influence it at all because there is no representative government in this game? We are not constituents, we are just subjects to your rule!
I couldn't care less about the politics in this game because there is no democracy at all and the absence of quality politicians! Politics in this game is a joke! I mean look at the RDMS, it is structured for absolute monarchy because the legates have all the power (the RDMS is a command structure). You know what happens when the people completely lost it's trust in the government (or the system)? They will go on people power movement such as what happened in Libya, the Philippines, and Myanmar, or worse, violent rebellion, to instigate change. The people here have the power to influence the system (without their cooperation, it doesn't work in the first place). Sure, you introduced organization and RDMS in this game in physical form, but they are built for command!
The politics in this game is a feudal de facto one! I have yet to see a developed official political system that gives power to the people! And the masses in this game is a dumb *ss! They don't even know their rights! How can you have good politics if the masses have slave mentality? How can I form a voting bloc if the rest of you are slaves? How can I represent you in the congress if you don't wanna be represented at all?
You know, even Yakuza holds an election, do you know that?
wow...no real life politics here...

You support a politician or a party because you see them as an asset to you. What is this AC? Do you think I give a sh*t about them?
The moderators here have warned me about discussing real-life politics so I can't use an example here (based on real-life) of how politics hinder development.
What is your platform and why should the public give a f**k? Are you delivering on your promises? Are you performing your responsibilities? Are you performing based on competence? Are you even doing public service or are you just there to cling to power? AC has no election, so it is a totalitarian organization with a ruling class that has absolute power.
The public learns about politics through media, and you know I'm the biggest critic of bias medias (again, I'm not gonna give you real-life examples because of the forum rules). I don't believe that there is something you call a "neutral" media because they all have an opinion about something. They use this "neutral media" excuse to monopolize the media. If you have an opinion about something--and everyone does--you are not "neutral", so stop deceiving people! In this age, the media is no longer controlled by the giant mass medias, and there are now smaller independent news sources because the barrier-to-entry when it comes to publishing has been made more accessible! If you have an opinion about politics, then do state it, but do not ever call yourself "neutral" because that is not fair! There is no neutral news! What the public has to do is listen to all sources with opposing political opinions and make the judgement themselves! What you don't want to do is to listen to one source and be influenced by it! When some so-called "neutral" social media platforms took political side in some country and banned some politician's account, you deny people rights to press freedom, and therefore it is not liberal! They should not be able to operate legally on a country that proud itself with democracy! But raising issues such as press freedom, you are just gonna call me a "woke", even though this is a serious problem!
I'm not interested about the politics in this game as they all lack the quality, but news about them will have to come from player-driven media sources with their opinions, and players are free to debate in-game politics! I don't buy this "neutral news" bull sh*t!
This AC, in my opinion, is a useless organization! You are gonna ask for support and then you don't give anything back? A bunch of "patrons"! ("Patron", based on Spanish history, is a powerful religious leader receiving support from patronizers) Don't compare yourself to Joe Biden, you patron!
So you're just angry that no one will let you spew your anger anywhere? What a surprise!!! I bet...you'll get BOOTED from here too. So yeah..... NOT HERE! Go spew your anger elsewhere...Buh bye now!

Alioth to be destroyed/moved in a horrible warp gate accident that creates a permanent wormhole to a new system, think about it- without Alioth- NQ's database issues fix themselves!

I hadn't spent much time in Empyrion for a few years. But recently I've been playing it a lot. The game is a little gem in space games, much underated I think.
Huge universe that you can get lost in. For single players its a dream of a game. Possibly better than Space Engineers, but not as good building wise, but close.
DU was never going to live upto the hype, but at least they're still here.
Excellent game, and EVERY DU Dev should be playing it.

The roadmap is achievable because its practically empty. This was honestly more disappointing than not releasing a roadmap. At least then we would hope for more girthy teasers.
YUP! nothing here to get me back in this game.

As far as STAGATES and a NEW SOLAR SYSTEM are concerned: I remember when the game was first announced and they said it would have an ENDLESS NUMBER OF PROCEDURALLY GENERATED SOLAR SYSTEMS and offer UNLIMITED exploration.

For me the big positive is that the roadmap as it is now presented is much more achievable for NQ and inline with their progress so far. It feels like that, with JC out of the way, they are coming around to not overpromising all the fancy things but committing to what they can achieve. And that is certainly good.
On the other hand, asteroids without AvA/AvC mechanics really do not make much sense. Once you get a character on the asteroid you are entirely safe, you dig a hole, drop a core and a container and start mining. your container is safe from harm until the area is clear to be collected. Potentially, this could be interesting for missions though, you mine out the asteroid, then leave a hauler mission for someone to bring it home and the collateral covers any risk..
From what was "promised" in December by JC most is now not even mentioned. There is no word on:- Energy and power management
- Player Markets
- Vertex Editor
- AvA / AvC / CvA
- Pets
- Assembly facilities / Mass construction
- Territory Warfare
- Second Solar System
- Stargates
So indeed, there is good and not so great.. And a fair indication that "release" is at least two years away
no no no....that's ACTUAL game development....they are gonna leave it up to the players remember?
-
Ummmm....so what happened to 'precious gems' mining/finding???? That sounded like fun, and a great way to introduce 'colored lumicite' building materials. And now?? Gone???

1. schematics
2. hope of the 'safe zone' being removed
3. slow travel only options
4. 'leave it up to the players' game making theory
