many newbies will only get dregs and the asteroid system is obviously not working. You know you have a problem when there are less asteroids than major orgs.
It is clear that NQ have created a game that will create a first tier of unmovable, impenetrable incumbents and leave nothing for the second tier. Kinda like their ore.
now if they brought in a planet where the ores shifted gradually over time that would be far more viable long term than the current system but totally unrealistic…
As it is, all the planets are basically pwned less than a month after the game went life.
knowing that they can never find anything other than T1 again means many miner type players have left.
Imagine creating an MMO where nearly all the key central assets are permanently locked down within 30 days without a chance to ever challenge them.
thades is dotted with hexes that have a single TU and a single mining node.
zero development, zero building, zero “sivileyezashun”.
“but more planets” I hear some say… sure another couple of week’s “gameplay” and those planets too will be devoid of anything but T1.
to end my rant, or as the younguns like to say, TLDR:
The game is a paradox. It feels simultaneously deserted yet at the same time, the logistics of this game is only suited to support triple digit player numbers maximum and is flawed at such a fundamental level that NQ will need to pull something spectacular out of their collective… hats … in order for this game to last past the year in any meaningful way.
