Just for the sake of knowledge, are those engines obstructed by the ship's body behind? I have a ship with roughly the same shape and when I tried placing engines there they were obstructed.

Piloting talents are all mandatory imho, I'm flying with everything at lvl4 (including putdowns) and 5days away to max the container mass reduction talent, I've seen my ship change quite a lot over the time, I remember struggling to re-enter the atmosphere with 500t cargo when I first built it, now I can go in and out of alioth with 1kt no problem, and there's still room for improvement. Still a bit skeptical about the fuel mass reduction tho, I should do some calculations to see if it's really worth the time.

Well, I hope NQ is smart enough to randomize those energy values so that the worthy tiles are distributed differently between the test server and the live one.

That's unfortunately not easy at all if you are not careful when building: elements happen to "snap" to the thing you're pointing at, if that thing is a regular cubic voxel then no problem, they are correctly placed into the grid, if you snap them on another element or a modified voxel (a slope for instance) they might be placed with a slight offset. If for instance you place an engine snapping it to another engine you might not get it perfectly aligned with the core grid as it would be if you snapped it to a regular voxel. So trying to replace an element following the grid coordinates might be a nightmare if you dont remember where you originally snapped it to.

I don't know if they could eventually, introducing new systems might add a new layer of stress on their servers (which apparently are already under heavy load).

In be4 they screw everything up introducing too many/too few high energy output tiles :v

Without a way to detect terrain (as you can detect constructs with radars) I'd say that's a feature we are not going to see, one could easily create a barrier of thousands of little rocks and lockout an entire planet.

Mh I wasn't thinking about those "little" details, as a solo I was only considering 1 factory. Also the act of selling/trading the schematics would mess everything up as it should keep track of what you've sold too.

I'd really love a little note telling me that I've already bought that schematic and how many I have. I'm trying to take note of what I buy but I'm starting to have the impression that my xs container full of doubles is trying to tell me something.

That's exactly how they should behave, release informations before the patch and have a session of public test, you know, the things that usually happen in all mmos.

The chance of you buying by accident dozens of schematics in that particularly small timeframe without realising you were paying 1/100th of what you used to pay since 0.23 came out is really, really really really... ... really low. Btw, a debt worth billions might be avoided by simply creating a fresh new account, you could abandon every construct you own and claim it back with your alt. Sure you'll lose months of talents but if the debt is too high it's easier to start from scratch, you'll eventually catch up again.

It's not great, but if it's necessary I can deal with it. Btw, played WoW for many years, it's not technically a wipe but every expansion that comes out basically is a wipe, your gear becomes useless, professions are outdated, new money sinks are introduced etc etc. We were pretty used to it.

I'd say that wiping now would be a bad move, there's still a lot of stuff to be developed, released and tested. After all the major updates are done they'll probably wipe.

Judging from those elements you listed I'd say that ship could easily carry around 150/200t of material, probably more with a few talents ?

It's not free for me either, I was answering to the guy above me, I've no problem to pay if that's what I'm looking for.

If you could pls tell me where can I find a free space engineers with a persistent universe trust me I'll leave right away. Because that's what I've been looking for for years and that's what I found here. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly aware there are many thing that are going wrong and I bet I'm upset as much as you are over those things, but this doesn't change the fact that this is a space engineers with a persistent universe.

Imho that was clear from the very beginning, I personally never had the impression of this being the new WoW, or the new eve, with the extra of being able to design your assets by yourself.

No insight from the test server?

The first 2 cancel each other, unless there's an error in the observations I tend to say we are dealing with a faulty scanner.

Look, I see 3 possibilities: - you start from 75% and the talent brings you to 100%, but then how are we getting more ore than the scan shows? - you start from 100% up to whatever, but then how is he getting less ore than the scan? - none of the above, the scanner gives incorrect reports so there's no way to find out.

That's why noone will ever tell you about the wipe, and they will enforce their statement of "no wipe unless necessary" to keep you playing (and paying). But it will come, we know, you know, NQ knows, stop pretending you don't see it.

Guess who's gonna get banned soon?

I bet I would quit after a week if I had this many money, ofc I would first please the whole community with a full scale replica of the tengen toppa gurren lagann :v

I'm with you in this. Remember how they handled the refunds for the first wave of schematics, I see 2 possibilities there, either there is something NQ can't physically track or they do not have the manpower (or the will) to go through every single line of log and fix the mistakes. Also, someone stated there's no id on items, so I wonder how are they handling dupes? I mean duping is fairly common in mmo, how can they prevent or react to duping if they can't check if 2 items have the same id?

Either his observations/math are wrong or we are all being fooled by the scanner giving incorrect reports. Out of all the ppl reporting their findings he's the first one I read about getting less ore then the scan shows, everyone else is getting more ore.
