The event we cannot speak of and the changes we cannot share that we asked for would have solved the problems, but alas the influential few outweigh the many. 
 
I don't understand why all of these guys are demanding to be endgame right now and complaining that the economy is broken because they have nothing to buy with their billions. What is the point of the game if you have everything you need already.

That might be the consequence right now, but it isn't THE consequence. That is the beauty of this game, and what me and many others are trying to ensure the game stays - player driven. Players decide the consequences and not NQ, and because of that this game is dynamic and will always be evolving.

Okay in your perfect game let's say I want to be a pilot. I should not have to use the markets to get the ship I want, because that would make me a trader, right?
 
I shouldn't have to refuel my ship, because then I might as well be a gas station clerk.
 
I shouldn't have to repair my ship if I crash, because then I'd be a mechanic.
 
I shouldn't have to walk around because I'm a pilot and only want to fly.
 
I want to arbitrarily specialize and have everything I want while doing nothing I don't want to do. Sounds like a great game Jaoa.

A new player is going to have to work to learn and build the game right now. That's the way a start-from-scratch civilization builder works. They won't be able to have everything, and that's a good thing. It'd make the game much less rewarding to spawn in for the first time and just have to mine for quanta and then buy anything you want wherever you want from the bots.
 
Why do you all want it so easy? Yeah, it was easy for the day 1 exploiters and they are going to get bored real fast. They aren't playing the game with "the rest of us" the way it was intended, there is a reason we all begged for wipes. If you really want to say the economy is broken, that is the reason: people already at endgame who have no incentive to help the rest of us build the world.

The game is too hard for you? You don't have everything you want and you are on here crying for NQ to give it to you? Get better. Play more. Recruit some miners, builders, and industrialists to your org which supposedly has people only capable of flying and firing guns whose egos are too large to build a factory to sustain themselves.
 
If you want to fly around and shoot stuff there are other games for you to play. This is a civilization builder where nothing comes for free. Get used to it.

Without saying too much, we knew. Players knew stuff like this could happen. We were worried for beta launch. There is a reason we are all here and so passionate about the game - it is will be great. The player driven economy, massive single shard universe, fully editable and persistent environment, ship building and physics, this game has things that have never been done before. It is incredibly ambitious. And, you're right, it wasn't ready for public beta with a subscription model.
 
I hope you return at some point and get through the rough edges and into the fun parts.

Finally the game is starting to work as intended. A PLAYER driven economy. I have had to fly around the ark ship in search of the precious few bits and pieces we can’t make in our factory yet. (Lights, container hubs). The prices are Whooooooo high.... but I’m willing to pay them because I need the parts.  
 
supply and demand, baby, it’s a beautiful thing!
 
if you can’t buy it, buckle up (can’t use man-up any more T_T) make a factory yourself and sell it for an obscene profit.
