I am frustrated with the perennial mismanagement by NQ and some of the recent changes. That said, I still enjoy DU and hope it survives the stupidity from NQ.

I don’t think they are even listening to that.

Good post.
The concept of DU has so much potential. It is so frustrating with how it has been managed over the years and now. The arrogance of NQ is shocking.
I am still enjoying DU and agree the future seems bleak. Little communication and changes that make a challenging game more so for new players, solos, and small orgs. I get that NQ is trying to slow progression. Problem is they are strangling players out, who can’t or can just barely keep up.
For now I plan to enjoy DU while it lasts.

Territory Warefare on worlds apart from Alioth would help
joking aside having a shifting ore mode like in Star Wars Galaxies would be great!
Shifting nodes like SWG is a great idea.

Did anyone?
Seriously. I know people are invested in it now. And mad that it's gone.
But did anyone think it made sense when they first heard about it?
Not until NQ very clearly said it was okay and part of the gameplay.

Yes Hi I'm here to agree with OP. This ruins the game for a whole lot of us, especially smaller orgs that were only able to get tiles with 2L/h of T2s or 3s.
Please reverse this change. You said that this is not an exploit. This makes industry and even a huge amount of income completely unattainable. Change this nowThis is the biggest issue. Small orgs get screwed by this change.

Talent points in any game represent progression and outline the unique path selected by the player. I strongly believe that talent resets/refunds should not be issued lightly because doing so takes away the significance behind those carefully thought out decisions. Ideally it should be reserved for situations in which said talent no longer reflects the choice made by said player at the time. Where the change is so drastic that the meaning/description itself is fundamentally different. There is no point in even having a talent system if every time a new meta comes arround refunds get issued to allow everyone to spec into it.
If you are advocating for a talent refund then I would like to hear your thoughts on the above. Do you agree with my stance? How does this recent change impact you specifically? What would you do if a refund were issued and what would you do if it is not?
It’s simple. When NQ clearly states calibration mining is valid, then without prior notice change their minds (which is BS), they screw people out of weeks of TP training. Meta or not, there should be at least a partial refund of points.

Epically stupid change. Especially after saying calibration mining was valid.

Because they explicitly stated it wasn't an exploit it is listed as an improvement to clamp down on that faucet.
This exactly. NQ explicitly stated calibration mining was valid - and less efficient long term (so there was a cost to doing so).
Not to mention, there are few practical ways to get T2+ ore right now given the extremely low ore rates.
NQ should refund talent points invested for calibration mining.

It really is disheartening; the game is moribund to be honest. I've wanted to keep my foot in the door and I've hung around for a while. I was surprised when I was told the game went to full launch. To what fanfare? I keep my expectations low having been disappointed by other titles in the genre (not naming names) but nothing here is going to make me want to continue. The game today is in a worse state than two years ago, I don't like the direction taken and I don't like what's ahead. Never say never but it's going to take a lot - and probably a long time - to bring me back.
This is just hyperbole. You may not like the direction of DU (and this is your perfectly valid person opinion), but you can't honestly say it is worse than it was two years ago.

I guess my question is if my Patron account will ever get that extra million skill points my Refer a friend accounts have. I find it hard to understand how it makes sense for an original founder account can have a million fewer skill points.
The other stuff looks great and looking forward to it coming.

Nope, Schematics should be deleted from the gameconcept, the update is not working and drives players away from the game.
Schematics, as they are now, are tedious, but there needs to be something consumable. The current schematic system is better than what it was.

I like it and have thoroughly enjoyed the launch so far. I was furious over the wipe. Still a bit disappointed. That said, it has been refreshing to be poor and manage through rebuilding.

One consideration is for ore distribution to shift on a set cadence. Say every four weeks (or eight or something), ore distribution changes, forcing people to re-scan and drop mining units. This keeps tiles from being locked up forever.

Perhaps but even in my org people can join one mission hauler and earn a lot of quanta. Yep my toon will be out of action for a bit but still easy quanta overall for little risk.
What’s wrong with this?
This takes time, planning, investment, and working together. It checks a lot of boxes.

Excellent work. Thanks for making this!

Lua is active and kicking.

Open a ticket. NQ may help fix the issue.

I was not paying attention when I was doing that initial descent. I died. I am pretty sure I lost my starter stuff. Did this happen to anyone else?

If schematics are lootable in ships that can be found in the PvP zone, either near planets or in predefined zones with a few SUs. Yes there will be interaction.
I'm not expecting massive fleet battles there. Just small clashes which should be the basis of the PvP in game.
And even if no human player is found, well I will have at least shot some stuff, taken out my ship and used up fuel and ammunition.
And would not have returned with empty pockets.This also introduced a game loop too. Imagine that.
Problem is NQ only focuses on mechanics and engine. They don't understand game theory and design/development.

I disagree with this part. Deckard was very clear about the intention. Reduce server cost.
So in turn, NQ continues down a path that leads to more players leaving to manage costs. This is a no-win strategy.
Net: NQ keeps flushing the toilet over and over.

Don't worry you will see what I mean if you play after release . Give it a couple months or so then you will be like oh I get it . If you played other games with them you would have already figured it out .
I have played beta long enough and other games for decades. I get it. There is no winning anything in DU. There is no game loop you can win.
