Evening,
 
So as by far the largest Org in-game (yes I know actual numbers playing are far less) i'm a bit concerned with assets all over the place as well as sub orgs for different wings of how we run the org.  For example a lot of this was done to avoid 'theft' which of course many know we had but ironically as a result we split stuff up to make this more difficult to do!.  So now we are looking at trying to find every core item to visit it to transfer it into one org and trying to find ever tile claimed.  There is NO list of who owns what core, there is NO list of every tile owned and by whom.  If this change is to happen at least give us the tools!
 
Thanks

Buffing engines yes but you need 'decay' thus more you use something and then repair it.  Eventually it slowly loves HP permamently and thus need to go buy a new one.
 
This would help the economy massively.  Likewise remove 'safe zones' that are excessive and bring that element of 'risk' back into the game.  In regards to doubling engines speed etc it would help with making more shapes/ships etc and reduce lag too.  They need to buff adjusters too and brakes.  ultimatley what we are asking for is buff components, reduce need for components, add decay and maybe just maybe you'll have more of a Civ game.

Mining Units  = Good.  Plus talents needed to use more shows maybe everyone can get 1 so thats handy.  Steady stream of gold?
 
Rest sounds ok.  I think for obvious reasons a timed roadmap helps a lot.

Did not join an org.  Buys the silly starter ships and then comes here........
 
DU is supposed to be a co-op game!  Org's could have helped you and given you so much advice.
 
Anyway good luck to you!

Sounds like positive direction!  I was surprised you did not have a PTS when I joined and glad you do now.  Fingers crossed the rapid deployment of updates continue!

The Empire has once again opened recruitment for the next few days.  Please check us out in-game.
 
We can offer help if you are a new player.
We can get you started in a loan hauler
We have a military that you can sign up to join in patrols and much more!
 
 

Absolutely not true. We just sold a building for 100,000,000h. 
 
 

I always find post like this interesting, those who condone and those who praise such actions.  As a member of the empire and also someone relatively new to the government/leadership in the Empire all I can really say is yep it was a hit but it has not destroyed anything except a trust and perhaps a friendship.  For him he is now someone known and it is less likely someone will trust him at all by far.  As for what assets got taken, it could have been a lot worse.  I was on as assets slowly got transferred but that as this is DU and you cannot do anything in the current mechanics with how you need to vote people out (which takes time).
 
Still I liked the guy especially trying to generate some PVP fun in a game sadly lacking this human interaction, civilization building, but equally I know how hard I mined to help improve things for the org so it was a hit to see time put in vanish.  Gutted I lost a few scanners and fuel I had stored in a hub.
 
Anyway this is all historic and past decisions by a previous leadership not the current one in existence as those players have long gone.   Things were turning in a far better direction and equally after this its gone 10 fold that way (except things are more restricted)  Still its not something I would do ever in an MMO as I respect people too much but I did hear it was the Eve way (glad I avoided that one).   I could personally have taken far more assets but hey that is not me and I'm pretty old school.
 
Good luck and hope it brings you whatever pleasure it does.  We are not dead, not fragmented, we will recover and of course any fund events we will take part in!

Whilst I know I'll have some replies that this is not a priority they can be for some including our Org.  We thought we were moving forward with NQ asking us to provide locations and owners of car in the territory we own as an org to be abruptly advised it is not possible.
 
We are trying to resolve, expand our player run city on Ailoth for our Org 'Empire' but sadly there are a number of cores owned by people long left the game blocking path's, blocking development in a few key locations so we reached out to NQ to help with assistance.  We of course have learnt our mistakes going 'forward' so will give rights for people to build but core owned by the Org so this stops this situation going forward, however we cannot fix the rest without NQ's help.
 
All that we are asking is NQ come back to the table and actually help people who play your game and are here to improve the offering to players.  Of course some of us even thought 'lets all send tickets in' but that would clog your system up would it not?
 
Hopefully this can be resolved and we can get back to building and settling fantastic new structures and also getting some new players into building too!
 
Thank you

We just had a reply from one of your support ticket GM's
 
Whilst I wont share the screengrab from it I'll write what they said.
 
'I'd suggest you make a new org and build a new city'
 
Are you for REAL???????????  NQ what planet are you on lol

I was hoping there would be taxes as well in this update for Org Wallets.  Orgs need functions to create taxes to help fund city developments etc.  

Afternoon,
 
This is more of a plea to return to the status Quo especially for support.  Of course I do not know why powers were revoked but given the state of the game maybe it is time to improve it once again?  The reason for it is as follows:
 
Previously support could assist in teleporting you back to constructs and even fix your construct quite quickly especially if it was a game breaking bug.  Yesterday for example I was helping with mining and suddenly whilst flying the core exploded but nothing else.  Thankfully the ship glided down with only one engine blowing up on impact.  Of course for me I was in the middle of nowhere! so to try to fix and replace the core was a nightmare.  Previously a quick message to support would fix it linking to a ticket.  Now it is wait days for someone to come fix it.
 
Today a colleague of mine in my org ticket number #44617. was flying in Warp when the server died.  Of course assuming that the new physics was in place so would continue with the journey it would of been fine, however in his case he logged in 2SU out from the planet he started at with all his warp cells gone.  Thus slow boating was the only option.  The poor guy started to do this risking PVP space but still in the 'safe zone' suddenly the whole ship blew up.  He was ported to Ailoth and logged his ticket.  With no response he managed to get back to see the damage only to find his construct on the actual planet!.  Still he waited no reply, logged in game as well as mentioned it on discord.  On the old system it would have been sorted instantly.  On the new system still no response!.
 
We need a return to how it was game breaking bugs affecting players puts them off playing.  Most of us adapt to the issues but imagine losing loads and having to re-start?  You only really need to look around and see people commenting on how poor support is these days to realise something is wrong.  
 
Finally I love DU the whole premise of the game is amazing and what keeps me here is being part of an Org trying to establish some form of cohesion to make it enjoyable for now and the future, what I dont want is to see unhappy players, people quitting over support issues or gamebreaking bugs.
 
Many thanks

I wish somethings a little focus on content was also done as well.  Its a big nerf so those who have made billions can buy what they need and those just starting out are left in the lurch.  I get why your doing it.  It is just a big shame!

This benefited the few not the many.  Those who played the game and aquired millions.  It certainly is not new player friendly.  Not to mention the few who knew in advance all the changes and probably had vast industries so stockpiled.
