When they say that people with X amount of months of subscription get X rewards, do people with unpaid subscriptions (beta keys) get these rewards, or no?

Colored lumi.

The honeycomb change that we actually want and have wanted for a very long time is PURPLE PLASTIC.

How does this affect anything other than PvP?

Interesting, we will have to calculate the impact of the voxel on certain types of ship, but currently the main concern in PVP is the cross section imho. The voxels must have minimal impact on the cross section to allow their use and see real designed PVP ships. Currently voxels/CCS ship = borg cube, or close to, and viable just in defense of alien core and still...
My first thought is that it will therefore have a too little impact/no impact on the current PVP.

But it's a good start.

This new system is cumbersome, tedious, inefficient, and "not fun". It's absolutely gut wrenching how bad industry is wrecked. It's also very expensive if you can't sell your products chaining up the schematic tree to make an element.  This is so, so bad.  I just want to throw in the towel, but not sure if my corp will come back.  If they wipe and take all the skill points with...there ...literally is no point to play.

Having schematics removed was one main reason for wipe.
Now schematics issue is resolved without wiping. There is no real reason for wipe.

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.

That argument goes both ways. I could just as well argue that it is pathetic (your words) that some players are demanding that veterans should lose all their effort, just so that (edit) new players get to feel special for a short while after release.

I can't even tell when people are trolling anymore, lol 

I played with a large group of friends (1000000+ people) and we only come back if there is no wipe. Lmao. 

Have I come to the wrong place? This says "discussion" thread...How can it be a meaningful discussion without input from NQ?

Don't you find it ironic that the only aspect of the game that is 100% player driven is the forum?

Exactly!  Just look at Valheim and V Rising.  They are just re-skins of basic crafting/adventure games with their own unique changes.  Those games are huge success stories.  NQ is over here trying to reinvent the wheel at every turn, only to fail and fall back on.. time gating??  I'm baffled, just baffled.  The only way to make sense of any of this, is they are cutting their losses and trying to milk the release for whatever they can recover.

If you wipe in any fashion, I will reduce my 3 accounts to zero.

So, instead of adding actual fuel to industry, like every other factory game, NQ is turning schematics into fuel...  The correct answer is right there, it's in every good factory game that I have ever played.  It should have been generators leading up to reactors to give more elements to play with and manage... 
 
This is a train wreck.  I didn't think anything would surpass New World for the most epic-dumpster-fire-trainwreck of a release, but NQ is lining it up so DU has a really good shot at surpassing New World for the worst release.
And just like New World, the only thing more cringe than the train wreck itself, is the white knights that follow saying everything is fine.

As if anyone is even around to care anymore, it's been 75 days+ since this was first posted. 
 
Since then, I think NQ has chimed in about the wipe 2 or 3 times. 
 
I'm not surprised that Nouredine Abboud (NQ's new CEO) is doing....basically nothing. His recent linkedIn post from today is about...RDMS and how brilliant it is:
 
Yeah, throw that bitcoin into your post -- real timely with that. DU has jack to do with blockchain or web3, but sure, try to convince people that DU is a "metaverse". 
 
 
Yep, no chaos here! The vision is so clear it's basically transparent. Nothing to see here, folks! 😭

Talent points, they are the most unproblematic thing:
 
-Costs NQ no money 
-They were earned, least exploit prone feature in the whole game probably.
-They can't harm an economy in it's infant boots.... compensatory quanta can rip that delicate flower out of the ground as soon as the server launches... whereas you can have all the talent points in the world and it won't change the fact the people who provide the raw materials can decide who they trade with and how... and there will be such inelastic demand for elements the first days that you willbe able to sell without buffs too.
 
 
The whole level field schtick won't last longer than a weekend anyway.

Please give us some dates. For anything. Even providing the month involved in any of the above would be of great benefit to so many people. 

All this is great but the only thing I need to know is on what date will all constructs be wiped so I can plan accordingly. Also when that happens will ALIOTH be reset with a different seed?

That is the question we have been asking for a long time now..

Basically:
Whoever makes the bigger decisions doesn’t see proper player markets or any other of the many ideas on the subject as priority.
Nicodemus thought he can help out by doing something that he can do almost by himself, with little need for any coders, game or asset designers to do anything, as he is pretty much just using the ingame assets, ingame mechanics, his GM tool set, and does nothing that could impact the economy. 
If you think "I could have done this" or "this has been done before", that is because you are right, one guy can do this, just that when Nicodemus does it and it is in the patchnotes it actually draws a crowd.
 
I see this as a "better than nothing" solution by one guy, while the rest of NQ does, erm, I dont know what.

Wiping beta accounts is bad enough. Wiping paid accounts is another level of bad.
 
Further delays in announcing their bad decision is beyond ridiculous and completely unprofessional.
 
I am curious how many people are still playing. 
 
such a missed opportunity for NQ. Absolute fools running this disaster.

If all Safe Zones were removed, the game would disappear from the AMrkt faster than it came. But go ahead, you can see how many players are really interested in PvP or even full lootpvp play.

Makes me sad, but I think you nailed it. I think the slowing forums show others are getting what you said as well.
