Thats keeps the eyes wide shut open.
I see 6 Person, highly intelligent, well edjucatet etc. But what I am missing: Chief of Gamedesign, Chief of economics, Social scientist for human interaction and so on. But OK, I don't look behind the wall.
In my opinien there a 3 things that have do be emmidiatly changed:
That a single person can scan up to 120 tiles per hour is redicules(see Reddit). A well orgenaized Corp can scan a moon or planet in a couple of days and know where the juice tiles are. So only 1 scanner per account.
Its also redicules that a single person can catch up to 40 tiles. Well organized Corp - 500 members - all juice tiles gone. So also, lets say 3 tiles per account. Maybe 1 tile extra for a corp with a static L core to build a HQ. No more bonus . The benefiz comes from the interaction with the members!
The Ore that sold to the bots should be respawn in abandoned mined( >70%) tiles, so other player have a chance to fetch a good tile.
You never will get ridd of the unbalance betwen the big orgs and the rest of the players, but with these 3 changes they have a better chance to keep up.
There are many more things that have to be changed or established like Market-UI, a good personal-massaging system or a advertisingboard.
I don't mind to pay 6 bucks a month even if the game is in pre-Alpha, but if the next update is the same crap I am out.
Keep healthy
