[So, when is the game getting rolled back?]

The real question now is... If those who are now jumping out the window in disgust had seen the prices and been online to buy schematics...would you have passed the opportunity by and called the NQ office to get them to fix it? Or would you have purchased them just as some others have. And if that had been the case, would you own up and return the schematics now 'for the good of the game'?

I like to think my mother raised me well enough not to have impulsions as those.
In fact, if i were in markets at that moment, i would've pinged an NQ Staff on #help immediately.
Believe it or not.
I could go further and explain my political opinions as well to prove my good faith, but this is unneccessary and outtopic.

Based on this and previous issues it's not unreasonable to assume NQ actually does not have the logging to actually know and so they just stick their head in the sand.,.

IMO of course..

Probably yes.
But they could reimbursed when they decided to drop Schematic prices, so they do have logs.
Idk...

Of course is not comparable, destroying one market vs destroying the economy. First case some guys get banned, second case, nothing.

NQ is destroying the economy, not the players intentionally.
They took advantage of NQ's mistake.

 

The blame is still NQ, not the players who bought those.

I've canceled auto sub renew, so i'm quite not pleased with NQ's Status Quo choice, even though i'm not an industrialist, i find their attitude shocking.
I hope, that they made this choice because they know that in the end, there will indeed be a wipe.
A wipe they cannot talk about, because they want the players to play the game at its full potentionnal in order to make it better.
Or,
The amount of players that took advantage of this is so small that they have assumed it won't impact the economy that much.
Or,
They simply have no tools to take action about this

Either way, it would be interesting to let the player base know how much players took advantage of this situation in order for each and everyone of those player to judge by themselves the impact it could have in the long term.
Either way, this is hard decision.. and once again, sadly, they chose the wrong one in my opinion.

(first being to drop the Schematics prices, so you can see on what side i'm on, if any sides at all)

Tell them not me, I know thats not a bug.

That's clearly not comparable honestly..
Those guys intentionally destroyed a "NPC" building to take advantage of the salvaged materials and/or, just to be destructive and negative.
Furthermore, and then, and only then, comes the question about bug or mistake.
We don't know if it was a mistake from NQ by not changing the building status or if they did but it was bugged.

Anyway, this is not the topic.

It was when they banned Scoopy so it is now by their logic.

I don't know who Scoopy is and the story around it.
But even so, it is not technically a bug.
You are going the wrong path by claiming otherwise, be smarter, go higher.

@NQ-Naunet I was told in discord you look into the topics. Can you give a reply to the questions raised here?

 

Like, treating exploits harshly, for example?

 

I was not a problem for you to backroll the overpriced schematics, what stops you from rolling back an obvious mistake you guys made? How comes you allow some schematics unreachable for now get into hands because of a bug?

It was not technically a bug, so NQ's annoucement concerning bugs is not applicable for NQ's mistakes..

I'm not saying that them doing nothing about it is the right choice, just answering about the "bug exploit" point of view of this madness.
It was not a bug.

• Ships will now stop (be frozen) when their core is destroyed in PvP, making them easier to catch.

Do not stop it, raise the maths you talked about in the stream so that the ship will still move, but with a tremendous amount of brake effect.

• Element destruction will impact the restoration count only when it occurs through PvP, at least for now (not when the ship is colliding/falling as we want to avoid having players penalized simply for crashing their ships because they’re learning how to maneuver them, for example).

Good trade off, rather than not counting penalties at all.

 

The game needs a way to force people to build viable ships as well, right ?
And just like Industry should not be possible alone as far as big quantities are concerned, building a large or even Medium core alone should not either.

Maybe, "way less damage" would have been better than just "restoration count penalty" ?

• Recycling of un-restorable elements through a recycler that will take an element as input and grant a small amount of the schematics required components as output.

Really good !
Would be even better if you could make "Recycling" doable with the "hand tool" (nanopack) that would give way less schematic components than a "Recycler" would.
Making it a new branch of specialisation for the game !

The most important lack in the game right now, and you are aware of it, that's great, is indeed the lack of ways to generate Quantas.

 

All in all, all good.

[[Discussion] DevBlog: Rebalancing the Universe]

When are you going to introduce a Contract or a Mission mecanic ?
We also need cleaner or wider market, with a system to put away annoying things like advertised ship taking the whole landing zone for nothing, or adverts surrouding the elevators.
That would be a positiv factor for people to actually WANT to go to markets..
