[Gathering your questions for the Q&A on Wednesday, December 1st]

Can we please have the ability to track asteroids with vr at a public dsat? This would let us use smaller ships without having to lug an ugly dsat around.

 

[DEMETER PTS PREVIEW - Discussion Thread]

Unfortunately I am unable to try it, it hits 98% graphics and locks up. Im running a ryzen 7 3800x with a rtx 2070 gpu. 32gb ram and running du on an ssd. This is my first attempt at participating on the PTS. Not good so far.

 I would say though that from what i have seen from others, I will point out my current dislikes:

1: I think all old scans should be obsolete. Those sitting on thousands of scans have already benefitted from the meganodes and now they will be double dipping with finding the higher output tiles. We should all start fresh ,giving new players a chance. If not than raise tax on higher yielding tiles and lower tax on lower yielded ones.

2: 1 Mil/h is way to much tax in a 7 day period. A month maybe.

3: Much more time and discussion should be given about the airbrake nerf. Either new element to replace or DU ships will look as bad as Starbase.

Sorry, I wish you could give praise but , if I can not run it, than I cant play.

If there are massive changes to the mining mechanics we should all start new. Existing scans should not work for the new system of mining. The large orgs will claim all the available good tiles within the first day or two. They should have to go scan new like everyone else.

 

Taxes on territories are way too high considering the cost to buy a tile is 140 000. Now I pay 7 times as much PER WEEK just to keep owning it. INSANE. Taxes need to be 1/4 of this or smaller.

 

I like the direction that is being taken with auto miners but the taxes will ruin the game if they are left this high.

 

Also, I think when you place a mining unit it should not start at 0% calibration. I have to use calibration charges just to start it?? Seems wrong. Minimum calibration needs to be bigger than 0%. Not much but just something even if its only 10 %, there needs to be a minimum that isn't 0.

I whole heartedly agree with this post. The scans should be eliminated and everyone start fresh. Not doing so will again only benefit those who are at the top due to meganode finds. Why give them another boost from the same thing. Let them and everyone else start fresh. If not than "tax the higher yielding ore tiles higher while reducing the taxes on lower performing tiles. New players to this game are going to be screwed which means no growth for the game.
