Why every game I play, think/work hard to get something and then there is that guy that says "hey, I just joined, he has that I don't" let's wipe everything to have "equal playing field". You know, there are games with "To battle" button out there, you get equal playing ground every time you press it. If there was no promise of "no wipe" I wouldn't join this game at all until release or whatever.

If all blueprints would be "lower price blueprints" then the same will and had in past happened to all goods. You are not supposed to build high end items after 2 months when playing solo in MMO. I agree there is a missing content that people can do other than stupid boring mining to bring money. At least PVE patch is supposed to be next, content I wait for (PVP) is 2 patches away....

Things can change, you can lose stuff you can gain stuff. That's economy. You buy shares, you can lose or win. You invest in industry, you can lose you can win. Making money before was easy if you are capable of logical thinking. Digging is never a high pay job. Most people click the left mouse button and expect to be billionaires. That's not how it works. My point is that economy in the game works fine. The rest doesn't.

You don't

I made about 20 agg M, dozens of S, 10 warpdrives/day for the last 2 months and started 6 beacons. I play economy solo. Stop blaming "big orgs" for your incompetence I don't care about schematics, it is not content.

I was mass producing L cores an selling them. I cancelled all my sell orders at about 1/3 into the JC interview. You were just too slow. I play industry solo. About leak: rumors about schematics were out weeks before the patch and i tried discussing it on forums but no one listened.

I will just leave it here ok ?

That's what i was talking about. They did not listen... Now "the bad guys" come to carebear backyards. Tear extraction protocol active.

Markets will be instantly seeded you will not like the prices though.

3 pages, the last one is only half-done...

Talking about AvA combat in DU is like talking about colonizing mars after inventing the steam engine.

They will probably make another ad about "come to the best space PVP game" and make "V" on the login screen about it. PVP? Not this patch, not next patch, the one after it... That's about what, 9 months? 6.99$/month that's 63$ to have faith.

So you say "You can't build now what you could before" is the catch phrase getting people back ? It's cool you want to specialize, just kinda worrying if you have anyone to sell your stuff to.

You see, devs fight wrecks in that video. They still didn't figure out that you stop shooting when it becomes square or somethin. Ha, or you don't stop shooting as you crash at that moment anyway..

I am one of the guys that joined DU on beta launch so my account is expiring at 26/12 (initial 3 months + 1 free month) I was expecting the next patch to be like something that makes sense for you to actually pay for another 3 months of... doing QA... Let alone content I like that is completely ignored (PVP - it doesn't matter is it cube or S core or L core, there is still 0 motivation). I don't see any content for any game play type in this patch. The factories thingy, it's not content it's just train skills, put that schematic thing into it, forget about it. I thought they gonna add something so they can like launch PR campaign to get new dudes, convince old ones to get back etc but what would they put at the banner now? "Come back to DU, if you lose your internet connection you now lose you ship!" that's why people should pay another 21$ ? What do you think ?

or if they stopped ads saying "come to PVP game" and when you get in it's actually has braindead pvp developers don't care about ? Edit: you still crash if you kill someone in PVP, radar skills work opposite (you lock LONGER if you train them) and list goes on and on.

1) NQ asks for questions so they can answer them 2) People ask questions 3) NQ ignores (there are no replies to the questions posted here) 4) ... 5) free2play?

15, yesterday was 17.

JC: Hmm, the PVP, yea, not this patch, not next patch, the one after maybe don't know probably something have faith. We fixed alt+f4 !!! now you need to alt-f4 20 times post kill and hope that the ship you killed does actually slow down each time you do. That's PVP !

JC was about to share the prices of the upcoming schematics but couldn't because he didn't remember the formula. Can we please get the formula and/or the prices ?

This is idea for the Black Market borrowed from a successful open-market player-driven game Albion Online and adopted to DU. Black Market quick idea: Can be located in some remote PVP isolated areas in a tiny safezone so you can trade in peace but have risk while getting there. Allows people to sell elements there for quanta to bot orders (wait, read on before yelling!) Elements, that are sold are entered into a "pool". From time to time, those elements spawn in random locations around the map under current "voxels" so they are burried and will be found by miners/explorers. The elements are actually player made as it's players that sell them. This adds "PVE" and exploration reward without breaking the economy. Those elements can as well be used to create the "wrecks" that have been recently introduced. Prices(VERY IMPORTANT): Prices should be "dynamic", here is an example of a good algorithm: 1) Each item starts at 1 quanta. 2) Server periodically(every X hours) polls the purchased element pool. If some element is not there. It's price is increased by a factor of Y. 3) Once the items is sold by a player, the price goes down again and starts climbing up. It should be allowed to put items "for sale" there by the players so the elements will be auto-purchased once the price hits it. End result: An interesting way to sell your products that can be very profitable and challenging PVP-wise (this is obvious hotspot) and it doesn't break the economy. All the elements there are made by players, they don't spawn out of thin air. Some elements, that we see are in over-supply can "get lost" in the pool taking them out of the game. As the new mechanics for "quanta sinking" are introduced this can be a very interesting way of "quanta injection" instead of braindead voxel bots.

You don't need territory warfare to achieve something we can fight for. Here are some other possibilities: 1) Removing safes zones from outer planets up until the atmosphere - will require having a control of the area to safely warp in/out. 2) Introducing valuable space asteroids with ore in PVP space. 3) Making current warp beacons on outer planets capturable, only those who hold the beacon can warp in/out. 4) Wardecs - Let ORGs declare war on another ORGs for a fee and attack it in ANY non atmosphere space. This is what came to my mind in 2 minutes I write this. If the answer to the question is "when we will make territory warfare". Then OK, let me know when you do it so I renew my sub after that patch. Currently PVP is not "equal part" it just pointless, meaningless and the most bug-ridden part of the game.

When will we have something to fight for ?

Only for alpha testers and beta keys. Mine and many other expire on dec 26th as we all paid for 3 months at aug 27th and were given 1 free month due to bugs (which I think is due to NQ being sure no-one will continue their sub so they pushed the can down the road hoping that new patch will convince people to pay again).

One of the things people don't get is that there will always be guys that have chosen to play "the bad boys" or villains or whatever you call it. That's the point of sandbox. If you provide a good playing ground for the villain(PVP space) they can get their gameplay there and be happy while the folks that don't want to PVP are completely safe in PVE space. Everyone is happy. If the villians don't have a good playground then they come to play to the safe-heaven player's homes. You don't want this to happen. I gave an example above. It is much more destructive to the PVE playerbase.
