Agree with the damage on ship elements. 
 
I know how to fly, haven't 'accidently' crashed a ship since my first rendezvous with Thades over a month ago on a self made 6kt interplanetary hauler.  Had to make a smaller warp drive ship to conserve warp cells for now.  The maiden flight from Thades to Alioth markets was the most stressful time I have ever had in this game.  Made it into atmo fine, cruising to market at 1000m altitude and the Alioth lag starts to hit, or combo of my own internet+alioth, and I get spam disconnect messages which, of course, locks you out of controls while the message is displayed, spamming repeatedly between enter to close the pop up and ctrl+c to control descent.  Few minutes of trying to land, to no avail, activate emergency beacon and log off as last resort.  Log back in some minutes later, I lose track loading into Alioth, and my ship is hovering some 200m above the ground and I am spawned onto it.  Try to activate the chair and it says its already being used, after about 5 seconds of trying to activate the seat and land, the ship just takes off back at cruising speed and crashes right the ground, game crashes, I relog.  Ship is back in the air, not crashed, same thing with the seat except this time I fall off the ship and as I'm looking at it hover into the air it launches off at full speed and crashes on the ground in front of me.  No relog to save me this time, I restore the elements and repair with whatever gold scrap I carry on me.  Whatever, 1 durability down, I continue on to Alioth, Get spammed with player disconnect messages -30 tries remaining, etc, and decide to log out and give it a rest for awhile.  Log back in some time later, same deal with hovering ship and launching head on into the ground in front of me. 
 
I restore the elements again, repair, log off.  Cannot afford to replace them just yet and do not want to crash again from no fault of my own and blow an entire warp drive XS core.  I am already forced to spend my entire time since patch mining and hauling ore to be able to replace my own ship parts, but I'm still about a week out on that.
 
I understand the need for the patch, and the removal of elements, but only if there is a way to determine if it was the fault of player or the game...which I guess limiting to PVP for now may be a way to control this.
 
Your game is fked up sometimes and you know it, and never once have I had a problem with crashing my fault or not.  I just repair and move on, I cant do that anymore.  You forced me into cycle of mining and hauling and selling to markets, which I had learned to avoid because this is not the first time I have encountered the aforementioned game problem.  I have two subscriptions, first time I have ever thought about cancelling since beta was yesterday.  
 
You will apply compensation for overprice schematics purchased, but will you provide compensation from element durability loss/destruction since 0.23?  Rollback to .23 day 1 with updated patch would be fair I think, worst week I had playing this game...so far, anyways.

There should be automatic wear on all industry over time which helps factories stay small while allowing for smaller factories to be easily managed, these damages could only be repaired by a human or a limited number of bots.
 

I just love how there are folks that still talk about industry and producing items means end game. What in the world is end game in a sandbox, you make your own gameplay!
 
First things first, you cannot POOF something out of thin air in industry, aside from oxygen and hydrogen, those people SPENT TIME MINING or BOUGHT THE MATERIALS to build what they want, they don't just pull it out of their asses. Don't act like they have not worked to get what they are building or act like it is easy, flying around and hauling ore solo is no easy task, its tedious and time consuming, WORK WAS ALWAYS PUT IN.
 
Just because you don't have the same amount of efficiency and/or time as them does not mean you should invalidate what they have achieved!
 
Secondly, element destruction should not be in until the server is stable and there are little to no flying bugs because I am sure NQ's support ticket system are exploding just like the ships in game.
 
Lastly, PVP boys try to hold back the salt, otherwise the very people you were harvesting it from the last week will take it all back, we know you're still shafted. But lets be honest the PVP isn't that hot right now till they introduce territory warfare. 
 
 

This game was starting to look like comicon. So much culture and art being displayed. People were able to represent themselves like never before in this game. There are people still playing minecraft in creative mode to this day, and the gameplay hours in that are literally astonishing. Minecraft was the number 2 most popular game. When you place such heavy logical restraints on people, you make it much harder for new people to get into the game, and you stifle a whole lot of creative energy. Going this direction, certainly limits you from having the potential of a game like minecraft.

Just forget about ATV. Their influence was clearly bad on this game.
Learn about the history of MMOs to avoid repeating the same mistakes other already made in past.
And play your own game (without the cheat codes).

OP: NQ's attitude towards PvP and consent to PvP is SO refreshing I can hardly believe it. It really is about time that a game company put the responsibility of engaging in PvP back on the player where it belongs. This is the way the game is. It has PvP. If you don't like it, don't play it.
