Missions dont give enough reward for cost currently.  Ammo/Fuel/Voxels the cost outweighs the time/effort to do the action.  You can do afk hauling missions which has little risk for greater reward.  Plus Safezone hauling missions as well.  Radar is too small to promote PvP conflict thus PvE missions need adjustment for reward.
 
Bugs encountered.  Ported 10000's SU but  stuck and mission stuck.  Mission ended and ship and 2 out of 3 ported back.  1 stuck 1000's away lol
 
Mobs warp too you there for you cannot vent or active gameplay.  it is more standing still shooting mobs (escalating).  Using bigger voxels mean greater cost and deplatiing ammo.  Mobs need to move like ships, chances to vent to engage etc.
 
KT limit could it scale? 2KT is nothing.  Couldnt use some pretty ships in PvE and really wanted to test a flagship out even if it is for 9m reward for a bit of fun
 
Thats it for now

Physical Rewards:
 
As mentioned in a previous communication, we had to sign with a new partner for the Physical Rewards logistics (packaging and shipping) and we had hoped to deliver the Physical Rewards for the end of this year (2022). Unfortunately, this took more time than expected. We are expecting to sign with our new partner in January 2023, and from there, we hope to ship the rewards progressively. We also had an issue with the Collector Boxes, which needed to be remade. Keep in mind that the following ETAs is just a rough estimate for now and we are not protected against extra delays:
 
February 2023: We hope to start sending Physical Rewards for Silver, Gold and Sapphire Founder backers.
March 2023: We hope to start sending Physical Rewards for Ruby, Emerald, Diamond and Kyrium Founder backers.
Later in 2023: We hope to start sending the Physical Reward (T-Shirt) for Patron backers.
 
In January next year, we will give you a status update to keep you informed about the progress for the shipping of the Physical Rewards.
 
That’s all for now!

Well I agree L cores are end game really but some factions used L cores as tiny things compared to what I think people really want for L cores is huge beast of a ship for holding the line.
 
I also dont think haulers especially mission haulers are getting killed frequently due to the silly 2SU radar range so billions of quanta is entering peoples pockets!

Actually a number of people I do know have sold a lot of ore gained from calibrating high tier ore.   Ore is something people hold onto it isnt always a case of selling it at least onto markets that is.  Prices are rising more recently because the mining calibrations issue may have been resolved.  Of course calibrations apply to more alts needed to sustain.
 
Either way it was overused and abused IMO.  I know of a number of people with a lot of T5's T4s (not in my org) who firmly used it.  I did wonder why they dont armour their ships etc but they holding back until CCS/Voxels are worth it again

Its a very good fix IMO.  Its insane someone sitting on Billions of Quanta all from Safezone mining on a calibration charge bug/issue.  Clearly NQ took feedback from beta and saw the economy numbers shoot up to a worrying/conserning level so early on that they had to fix it or make it a priority fix.  
 
High tier ores were supposed to be risk/reward and now we can still grab them from asteroids.  Honestly did people think it is totally fine via gamey gameplay?

Except it was highly abused.  I know of multiple people who have billions made from high tier ore farms that had 1/2 l of T4/5.  It was not intended gameplay and NQ had to do something to balance the economy before it was too late.

When people were making BILLIONS on it, its no wonder they want it back in the game.  It was and is gamebreaking to keep it in.  Its a good change and one that has been requested to be fixed for sometime.

Territory Warefare on worlds apart from Alioth would help
 
joking aside having a shifting ore mode like in Star Wars Galaxies would be great!

Good Work  I'll ask all my org to vote for it too.  Hats off to your daughter!

Hey NQ, I'm sure not everyone will agree with me but there is a fair amount of us that really want to love and believe in this game. 
 
I am worried however, I like to think I'm one of your biggest supporters, and i am working hard to keep that positivity alive. I try to look to the positive every chance I get... and I try to give you guys the benefit of the doubt because I can't imagine the strain and difficulties you guys face. 
 
Despite my dedication has been shaken a few times, I'm still here. I still am a supporter. Proudly. 
 
However, I am asking/begging you to give the members of this community the voice they want to talk to NQ and know that they are heard. CCP did this with the interstellar Council.... give some of us the chance to be involved to represent the player base.. to give our teammates the answers they want and desire, to raise the concerns we have to you and know they are being addressed. It's one thing to say these things and occasionally get an answer or a side step, but we could do so much better. Admittedly without someone even acknowledging our posts in here we don't even know if you guys read them.
 
I want to believe in DU... but the relationship between NQ and the player base is becoming more like a tumultuous relationship between management and the employees. The player base isn't going to feel represented by a Shamsie.. or someone who is out of touch with most aspects of the game. I mean, when asked about issues regarding pvp a rep of NQ seemingly had no idea how pvp even occured. I don't mean that disrespectfully... but let us help! We want to... and if this game is going to succeed we can't be treated or be made to feel like employees who are gonna stick by the company. Which we are not. 
 
My solution. 
 
Implement a 5 person council of sorts that meets occasionally. Has a direct line to NQ and you can ping your updates/changes off. Like for instance you guys are talking about tactical map... I'm concerned as far as what that could mean or be used for. It makes me concerned over a pvp disconnect here...
 
This council would be active members of the community or are apart of larger organizations and bring thier perceptions from those organizations to NQ. This may mean some more secret new directions being revealed but also could be a saving grace if the plan is absolutely terrible and not going to be well received. It may help to have insight from those of us who actually play. We want to help and support you.
 
I beg you to take this request seriously. We are still in your corner. 
 
 

Make it so the more packages you have, the further away you can be seen 🍿

Really? Now not including the org your in :).  Generally Market 6 and tiles nearby are buzzing as are the moons.

Errm

Is it because you want to make everything?  I see schematics as if your solo you can focus in one area.  Collectively you can do much much more.  Quanta was too freely avalaible previously as a combo if missions, one time schematics obtaining and more.
 
Although duration/cost is a burden there have been hints at talents reducing this.

Erm…

Is it me or is NQ so unusually quiet both in discord and announcements?  This week a month of release will hit and to be fair the majority of MMO's I've played always showcase a 'whats coming' to entice people to re-sub and get excited about.  We've seen nothing from NQ and its ashame to be honest.  Add in that nothing major in updates has happened in sometime its a little concerning overall.
 
So NQ whats going down ?  let us know something to get the hook in!

Which is clearly a nonsense and broken system. That an org only needs a single tile with 1L of each of the four T1 ores to survive is clearly not what the developers intended. Sure they don’t count it as an exploit (calibration charges Yada Yada) but it is pretty much game breaking. 
 
TLDR:
That 10 players can somehow get 200kL of ore per day from a 1L per hour tile even using a single size S mining unit is a stupid game mechanic. 

This was the most disappointing stream I've seen for a major announcement you literally didn't release any new feature rich new additions.
 
I expected a major announcement to be new systems coming for launch like territory warfare which was due last year or energy systems.
 
Do you folks realise adding either of those two features later on is not ideal especially energy ?.
 
I totally understand the planets and I also equally hoped a chance to move them all closer to avoid the snooze fest of flying slowboating.
 
Anyway it's disheartening indeed after all these years playing.  Your not convincing people to give it a go.
