Please correct me if I am wrong but I think I am not supposed to subscribe to 10 different you-tubers and 20 twichers to get the information about the game I am playing.
 
The current communication is just an utter disrespect to the player base. This is a PVP open world game. Any detail/future patch knowledge is advantage. 
 
Currently you need to watch 5 discord channels and regularly hear the boring 1-hour videos to get a glimpse of what's actually coming so you don't suddenly login and all your industry is nil because you missed a message at minute 37th of 4th Interview with MrBigYoutuber that was confirmed on 24th minute in 2nd interview with MrBigOrgLeader where someone from NQ says what it is gonna be with the industry.
 
There was some event where people were supposed to solve some kind of a problem and then dig something. I don't even know what the task was let alone trying to solve it. The communication is just beyond non-existent. 95% of the playerbase didn't even know about the event.

About 90% of the people I play with dumped the game. They still have sub but they just don't login. Some still do but usually only to change the skills of about 20 alts each of them have.
 
Digging some, building a ship and getting to space is all this game can currently offer. It's a luckster content but I think that's OK for the early game. 
 
The biggest game-breaker is "no sand in the box".
It's advertised as sandbox game but there is no sand in this box atm. People can't affect other people. There is 0 way to have ANY meaningful PVP. There is no way of creating like drama/alliances/enemies as all this is just doesn't matter. Dramas and people fighting each other or spying etc that what makes sandbox games work and self-generate content.
 
DU Just made a safe heaven with poor toys that get old fast.

The way NQ handled the M15 situation is what caused me to unsub my paid for alts for sure as I do not feel NQ is in a place development and  engagement wise where they can really expect people to pay for access to the game.
 
Naunet is doing what Naerais did before him/her (we don't know if it's a he or she).. building report with the community. It's all the basic stuff we've seen before, including setting up a survey and a lot of empathic wording. The actions from Naunet's side however are very much NQ and really not much has changed as of yet. To be clear, I respect and like Naerais generally but she has closed herself off quite a bit after coming onto the "scene" in a very open way and I have no idea where Nyzalter is at these days, if he still is with NQ even...
 
NQ will likely start a PR campaign shortly, leading up to a patch in probably 4 weeks and allowing for two weeks of "fixing" time before Xmas break. I honestly do not expect much to substantially change until probably end of February next year at the earliest.
 

I stopped months ago because
- gameplay is super boring or so tedious (and I played eve for more than 10k hours) and useless that I get cancer when playing longer than 2min
- UI is garbage 
- mechanics I'm interested in (pvp) are super boring
 
But thats all really not that bad compared to the main point why I really got fed up with NQ: cause of NQ themselves. 
Pretend to listen but really don't. I told them about errors/bugs/possible exploits/possibly bad ideas years ago but they don't want feedback anyway, they do their thing no matter what and after it Turns out to be a shitshowthey Half heartedly "fix" the issue which introduces even more problems.
 
Asked questions YEARS ago and they're still open and "coming soon".
 
Sell us a game on KS and change it as they go, without even getting basic stuff in order first (UI). 

Element destruction is needed, I think every time the element hits red it should 50/50 if it's repairable. Wanna make sure you survive a small crash ? Bring extra in your containers or slap an extra element so you can replace it. That's how almost all full loot PVP games work why reinvent the wheel ?
We can add an exception that crashes have only like 5% of destroying it or something.
 
The durability thing is a VERY bad idea, Let's assume it's 0-10 imagine you will have 10 slots of the same item with different durability, every time you buy an element do you use it until 6 ? or 5? Do you take 4 into PVP ? Just a mess.
There will be tons of tons of sub maximal durability elements that just lying around useless. Let alone how many glitches it may create as in order to create a ship from blueprint you first need to take your "landing gear M", smash it 4 and repair it 4 times or it's not accepted...

The game about civilization building where civilization centers just teleport to another location overnight. So much for the strategic base planning.

Like WTF are you talking about.
 
Like some challenge, someone solving something ?
 
Should I like watch 10 discord channels 20 youtube channels and be subscribed to 30 twichers(or whatever) to be updated to what's happening in 1 game that I play ?
 
I didn't even know that there was some challenge.
 
You say they handed something to some org ? I say they just created private content because most people have lives and don't follow 100500 different game related bullshit videos to get info on how to play it.

So when the issues players have been experiencing starts hitting the devs they cry about it?
How about fixing the issues and not just ban people for it?

Good bye and grow up. I'm going back to Eve online.

Can we get a dislike button?

by the time NQ answers his ticket he will be either playing another game or building a warp beacon.

Everyone and his grandma already know about DU. They DU now or they will DU on release anyway, wipe or not.
On the other hand, I have been no-lifing this for a week so I have a solid base because I was promised that "it's a go". If they wipe it, it's a broken core promise.
I didn't play where there were some bots or something, I started with public beta on 27th.
 
The balance and some people become monopolists, that's inevitable, we shouldn't even try to avoid it.
All the benefit the exploiters have due to whatever bug they were exploiting during first couple of days will be naturally irrelevant as all those "OMG I have 50mil" is nothing in the long run. It will be pocket change once economy caches up.
The power will be with those who find the new sustainable and constant ways to gain profit as the game moves forward. There is one other game that had a GM giving very valuable items to members, no one wiped, this incident has no meaning nowdays.
 
If they wipe and then there are bugs again(and there will 100% always be! Faction Loyalty Points for those who know what I talk about) what then ? Wipe again ? So do we play persistent universe or a battle royale ?? I didn't sign up for the later...
 

The game isn't meant to be played solo. Look at EVE and look at how much the power dynamics changed in the game over the years despite no wipes and rampant imbalances and even devs helping already op corps - and yet new comers often previled.
 
A wipe will not level the playing field. It will simply reset it.
 
The game is just 1 system. It's a tiny fraction of what the game will be eventually so the current power dynamics are entirely meaningless. 

Can we get official NQ reply on this ? WTF is "not intended game mechanics ?" It's a sandbox, it doesn't play by intended mechanics. Discord is not a thing to get data from, I am not to about to scroll 100500 pages.
 
Do I get a ban for doing it ? If someone does it to my ship does he get banned ? We need a clear answer here.
