Exactly, i was not doing to it for the quanta , i could have and been making more thru other means, i took it as a challenge to build ,most expensive schematic wise, warp beacon production line as a solo player, to achieve something similar to what you have done. Im not a builder, so could not build an amazing racing track, or good looking ship(s), went for something im good at, which is being merchant/crafter. To get me back to playing rollback would be sufficient, not the free quanta or schematics as compensation. What is the point having those , when everyone else has them too, in a game , where we are encouraged to specialize.

I will explain why ppl are angry today , using myself as an example: after 0.23 patch, i had to spend 200 mil quanta on schematics to get my warp cell/warp drive factory running again. the decided to go for long grind for warp beacon production line: Schematics/ rare industry units cost me around 450 mil quanta. then managed to accumulate 500 mil towards warp beacon schematic. Long painful grind , hours of mining/hauling / market trading sometimes even at a cost of sleep , as I am an adult with real life responsibilities. 1 Billion 150 million quanta ,I have accumulated at a cost of many many hours ,was yesterday reduced to 11.5 million. Instead of being one of the few making beacons , i have nothing , when some have it for free. How can i be happy and understanding?

And upper management does not see anything wrong with that lmao

With one decision WHOLE purpose of 0.23 patch was just nullified, making very small part of player base very rich, with immediate access to end game items without any investment. I have been patient since day 1 of the Beta. put up with mistakes , bugs, 5 months without new content, but this .... this is a last straw for me. NO, you cant have my stuff Take care

This is a spat in the face of hard working, grinding our asses of, rule abiding players. I have been grinding for a effing month to be one the very few to make beacons, im a nowhere near enough quanta as schematics cost 841 mil for beacon alone. And some shits get those for free , because Devs mistake . Novaquark credibility and reputation has hit rock bottom.

Hey, 1. Resources are finite, but it will be a long time before they run out. 2. One can design factory to be fully automated from ore refining to final product, thats it, no mining bots 3. One can claim a territory/ies on planets/moons, create yes, automate no. It has been stated there wont be any sort of automation of anything.

Scorched Earth tactic is not cheap, it has been used for centuries to deter/ slow down enemy from advancing and deny them any spoils of war.

Firstly ,can not call ganking Cargo ships PVP, secondly no armor will save one from well armed pirate. Thirdly, this whole topic is a consequence of so called Pvpers killing everything that moves without regards to the people on the receiving end, which in turn driven everyone, who didnt loose everything with the ship and quit as a result , to use warp drives.

Multiboxing is not allowed, one can have multiple accounts but can run ONE account on 1 computer at any given time

lower thread count to half of your total

Thats why we asked for community support and global, and possibility to split chats, so we can talk about anything on global, watch community support in case someone needs help with in game questions, and leave current Support channel for NQ staff

We have been asking for a separate Global/ Community support channels for months, with ability to split tabs, so we can pay attention to more than one. So far we have been ignored

Right now building meaningful sized factory requires effort, before patch one could start manufacturing beacons few days after starting the game

I agree with you except last sentence, 1b never be pocket change, First: bots with 25g/l for t1 is just temporary, normal price is 12q., players been offering more for a long time . Two: Schematics are going to suck up large amounts of quanta for very long time

It seems that some of you didnt do the math, so lets begin. As i stated earlier at this point quanta generation is achieved in 2 ways, ore bot orders and welfare checks. On the other side , patch 0.23 added massive quanta sink in form of schematics. let us use me as example: i have spend about 450 mil on schematics to date which equals to 3000 welfare checks of 150k. Assuming server has 9000 active accounts that spends the quanta , 3 ppl like myself , removes total amount equaling to daily welfare checks of whole server. so multiplying that to 300 ppl /orgs spending 450 mil on average on schematics is going to remove 100 days of welfare checks generated by 9000 accounts. Add to that rest of the active population buying schematics in lesser amounts , Remove the bots without adding any other meaningful ways of quanta injection, the economy in about 2 weeks will come to complete stop as everyone will be waiting for their welfare check to be able to buy anything.
