Most crashes are technical faults, not player's faults. Have fun playing DU alone, because that's where things are heading.

Du has no endgame. In any form. I've said it before, but your options are either make a number get bigger (money), or pvp... which almost always makes a number get smaller. With the changes coming to repairing, that number's going to get smaller faster. There is zero incentive to PvP. There's little incentive to mine. There's little incentive to craft. What Mulligan said was right. This game is good for two weeks, then you run out of content. Most of the items are worthless (I've been crafting Lasers since launch, business has not been good). You can build cool looking ships, but then what do you do with them? Even if you PvP, there's no benefit, so it ultimately becomes an epeen measuring contest at best. At least adding PvE would add tons of easy content. I'd prefer a true endgame though.

This is stupid. Why focus on making the game harder for players? (Especially those with fewer resources). Why not create an endgame instead, to try and stop people from quitting due to boredom? Right now, the options are make money, which is only a number getting bigger... or PvP, which has absolutely no benefit, other than maybe making one number go up. With this change, PvP is even less beneficial.

It might be possible to build a data pad you describe in the current game.

Sounds like a retooling of SWG mining, which I appreciate.
