Again, if you think fuel is expensive, use a more fuel efficient ship.
If you fly multiple trips to Alioth from Sanct daily, with mil engines, and carry an AGG around at all times and who knows what else, it is understandable you need a lot.
I wish fuel was far more expensive or more was used, so people would actually care about consumption more. -

Ok cool, just curious. Generally, I agree with you, but I know from experience that military engines, which are wildly popular, chew through the fuel compared to the other types. They have less thrust though, so there's always the trade off.
yes i only use military two i just think fuel use should be less as we go two explore moor i barley like two fly unless i have two especially with a howler it is a space game and it feels like im always running two get fuel and a L tank costs like millions two fill i think the Balice needs two be looked at again its like 2 trips from sanctuary two alioth and im empty i will say i recently added Anty gravity and its helping a bit

Quick question - did you train up the skills to reduce fuel consumption in the Piloting tree?
yes

I don’t think pvp will ever be good in this game just a gank fest is all it will ever be but that’s my opinion who knows we’ll see

It looks way moor dead then ever two me I use two run in two players everywhere now I might see maybe one person at alioth market 6

A wipe would be totally useless in the current state of the game.
This will be dramatic for the whole PvE community. They would have to start all over again for the farming part to obtain the ores and wait several months to return to the same level of fun as at present. And the level of fun is already not very high.
And for the competitive part / PvP, we will find the same capacities as currently in 1 or 2 months maximum.
I agree as of the state of the game from last few patches my ore gathering has dropped by so much I can’t even work on my projects much I’m mostly waiting two see if it’s going two be fixed a whipe at this point would probably just push the final nail in the coffin

Is it rille a beta if you are charging a monthly subscription ?
-
I don’t think a
player who has spent months or years gathering supplies should lose everything because they stop playing for a bit it should be packed up and put in a special inventory they can be reclaimed when they start playing again as far as salivate it sounds like a good idea but if I’m required two fly all over looking
i think fuel consumption needs two be reduced fuel use is Riley bad in this game in my opinion

I was shocked from the beginning that the ground did not regenerate over time I knew this would end up being a problem and in the end rather than fix it they took the cheaper way out I’m so disappointed in the detection this last patch took us I just wish they would scrap this I’m finding it a Paine in the ass two even be able two build anymoor it’s not fun geting so little amount of ore this is not fun anymore two me I just loved the building in this game now it’s just two time consuming
and even if I wanted two build a pvp ship and trie that I’m not spending a month or moor two lose a ship it may be time two just try find somting else that fills my creative side voide that landmark left me but now DU is heding in the same direction at this rate I dont see this game ever being good maybe star base can do better

The whole MU system is starting to burn me out. The problem is that you are implied to use all your charges and not waste any. It's a dopamine trap like many mobile games are. With the current implementation that means you have to calibrate every single day. I experience this as a somewhat stressfull time pressure. Ofcourse I have 3 alts so I have to spend more time on doing all the calibrations. Since the start of Demeter this is pretty much all I've been doing in DU and I didn't spend any time building. It's really difficult for me to ignore the addicting dopamine triggers but I managed to stop picking up all the surface ores because that was an incredible time sink. I really kinda want to stop mining like this all together but that also means no resources unless I go space mining which requires a very expensive scanner on a ship large enough to support it which I don't have yet and I'm also not looking forward to doing that because it's an even bigger time sink before I can start to mine anything. This mining mechanic is in my opinion compromising one of the few good gameplay systems DU has which is the building system.
The simplest solution or at least a better implementation of this system would be to lower the speed at which MU's lose efficiency and also slow the speed at which we get charges so we only have to calibrate every few days or so. That opens up time to do other things.
@anyone: How do you feel about the current state of gathering resources?
I hate it it’s made me
not want two
play this game anymore I haven’t built anyting or worked on my base sence the update I find the rate at witch MU get Material ridiculous I tride space mining it did not work for me just wasted fuel and time and found all the astroids I visited alredy mined out I just wish NQ would roll back and scrap this update it’s killing everting I liked about this game for me I may just need two go check out star base and see if they fix this game later on maybe if enough people stop playing they will see they sucked the fun right out of this game I can’t even build anymore and I’m not spending a week grinding a crapy amount of ore I went from 100m worth of cargo a week two about 4m hell no I need way moor material two build
who in thier right mind would want two spend months two build a ship two pvp in and lose it sounds real fun

This update is bad roll back scrap it
go back two old mining and do youer job stop taking the easey way out just make un claimed land heal over time or do a land reset monthly or weekly we should not be redesign the game at this point in development what are you doing NQ are you tring two distroy youer game no one likes this
-
Are you planing on limiting how big we can build two
If so by how much I thought this is a rebuild civilization so how is that going two work if we are being limited we should be able two make cities
also why don’t we have any hand weapons or base defenses how are we going two defend a base from ships
(bring back last version of game and work off that you keep making huge changes how are we going two move forward when we keep changing core gameplay it’s like alha again
-
I never understand why the ground did not regenerate over time it never seamed like a good idea two
me and at this point I think NQ is just trying two take the easy way out rather than developing this

Dear Developers.
What I don't understand is why NQ isn't able to include a soft terrain wipe feature that allows mining underground without any permanent impact on the database.
Another voxel game, Empyrion, that has implemented this.
The difference with the current terrain reset in Dementer is that the terrain around the base, and even in the base itself, is not changed. So if you have an underground base, the terrain in and around that base is not reset.
But no, they remove a well-functioning game mechanic to switch to the autominer, which I have to constantly calibrate to pay my taxes with the meager yield.
If NQ doesn't have such a feature they should program it and bring back underground mining, that would be a positive addition to the autominer.
So personally I don't enjoy the game at the moment, so please make something that covers a wide range of play styles, only then can the game be a success.

This is dumb I can only put a mining unit on static construct so what the pint of even leaving my base besides finding a better claims what is a scanner for now besides scanning a new claims what encourages me two go out and explore I just don’t get this and I am limited two how much I can mine per hour or day good job NC kill mining and exploring I just don’t get this direction you sucked the fun right out of it it feels like a farming sim
not what I backed this game for
im So disappointed I tried two be open two this but all I’m thinking now is what the hell are you thinking

@NQ
Please disclose the figures for the territory taxes so that players can prepare themselves before the update in order to divest or merge territories if necessary.
Please also give figures for the quantities of ore that can be obtained per area as a maximum with skills, e.g. in the period of a week/month, so that one can compare the current consumption and farm quantity.
Furthermore, please inform us when and if there will also be taxes on space constructions. I don't want to spend weeks moving my planetary bases into space if they will soon be punished with a tax there as well.
At least NQ once said that there will also be areas for space. So should we stop building large space bases now?NQ yes we need this info two decide how we are going two play this game or if it’s a game killer for some of us also are you planing two down size how big we can build it looks like the direction you heading I have Sean this before down sizing game in name of Performance I think you are taking the easy way out instead of addressing the problem

Hears a question what happens two all my voxels and elements if I lose my land I spent months or a year getting it better be in my inventory

What drew to me DU originally was the mining, scanning, locating ore and the chance of coming across larger nodes of ore. What sold it for me was the manual side of it, you physically had to roll up your sleeves go find the resources, and the more time and effort you put in the greater the opportunity of reward as you could come across larger volumes and other tiers. This tied together with upgrading your ship, linked containers, storage, travelling around different planets and facing different challenges, plus do all that with your friends made it enjoyable!
95% of my time in DU is mining. I have no interest in PVP or Industry. I fund my assets through mining, by providing manufacturers and builders with resources and buy their inventions to do more mining, greater yields and better productivity!
Whilst I appreciate the issue of underground mining on planets is impacting financially and performance of the game, it just feels like rather than fixing the issue at source, the issue is simply being deleted. Rather than fixing the problems underground mining cause and adding to the game with mining units, your deleting and replacing with automation. Am sorry, but if we are talking about the game being sustainable for the long term, fix the architeture of the game as opposed to dancing around the problem.
The mining units sound interesting, but they are automated with some manual input which has been confirmed to be limited. The update also referred to ‘limiting our time engaging with mining units.’ I mean if I spend all my time mining, I now have no reward for time invested and have been limited in that regard as I no longer play the game on my terms, am being ‘pushed’ away from what I enjoying doing.
In addition, as mining units are automated and basically end up AFK mining, it opens up the gates for those with many alts and quanta accumulated to date to set up an AFK income of ore which totally takes away from the game again, as this is venturing in pay to win territory.
Ahh wait! I can still get plenty of ore from asteroids right? Well, on the basis it takes me 75-90 minutes! to get to an asteroid (and everyone else is rushing to it also), 30 minutes to get back and to come away with less ore's worth than it cost me in fuel……. No.
The safe space asteroids get rinsed, and even if you go to discovered asteroids, it’s an hour of travel for a round trip where there’s nothing but shrapnel left. Try putting 200 asteroids in safe space and on daily respawn then there might be enough to go round.
In any case, it seems this update will make fundamental changes, create its own issues on top of existing issues, ground players to planets more than likely and take away rewards for time invested.
I have two agree with you hear I’m not happy about the removal of underground ore it’s one ove the things that made this game special I think NQ is just taking the easy way out they should have just aded terrine regeneration
I like the idea of mining unit but not like this it also has a max so dose that mean we can only mine the same amount as others it’s looking like land mark all over again dumbing down the game what’s next building limits
I’m also not in favorer ove land tax’s as I like building but it’s going two get expensive and a monthly is two short why not just add a login in every 2 months or so just two keep land available proving you are active and what about the millions I already payed for my claims do I get money back i am a builder in this game it’s what I enjoy I don’t like pvp it’s the building and mining that brought me two this game if I wanted pvp I will play star citizen ore eve

The problem with 100% driven economy in my opinion is if theirs not enough people playing you find you can’t buy what you need I am alredy finding I can’t find what I need on sanctuary moon I always have two go two alioth 6 It wouldn't be a big deal but now the way crafting is I have two buy most eliments I think this is something that sounds cool but probably will just punish players time will tell

So I started to experiment with trying to make an elevator it’s pretty basic just started it 4 xs engine on a platform 4xs wings hover chair and 4 pillars 3 voxels wide in a L shape to hold the elevator in place I don’t want closed walls it seams to be working we’ll leave one voxel space between elevator and pillars or the elevator will freak out and start jumping all over like a earth quack I do have a question though I’m not to good with lua how can I make the engines fire with a button or switch I trying to but it just keep saying you need a flight seat
