I know this is almost a month old but i agree with just about everything from the OP. I really wish NQ would open up free to play, and bring in skills and cosmetic shops for cost. You cant get skills above level two if you arent a subscriber, you gain double the XP/m if youre subscribed. If you unsubscribe and play for free you lose your skills except the level 2 ones. Let us buy XP points, let us buy cosmetics. I would spend money on all this, but at this point with the player count dwindling and only major orgs holding the vast majority of tiles that can give an income it makes me wonder why I still play. I prefer to play as a solo player but do occasionally play with others but i prefer to just do my mining and industry. I miss mega nodes, I wish they still existed give me something to hunt down on asteroids. I miss seeing tons of people when i show up to market 6, now its just 1-2 of the same players each time i go there. F2P with micros I think would partially revive this game. People wanna try it out but they dont want to spend money on a game that they look at the forums and see its dying. I really wish NQ would interact with us a little more and give us some idea of whats to come. Im really afraid theyre going to pull the plug at the 1 year mark when all the prepurchased dacs run out.
