After seeing the big patch, I was excited first, but now I'm still dissapointed. My most urgent topic the schematics, is still there. In the end you just halfed the prices. So I critzize that you now need 1. resources, 2. the industries 3. the sematics. My base is far away from civilzation, if I have resources and industrie, I still have to get to the next market to buy the schematics I need. So I'm more on the travel to get schemtaitcs and resources, than I can spent my time usefully on building bases or ships. Next, you need the money to buy the schematics, so how can I earn money? Still the scheamtics are placed at the wrong time, we need more possiblity to make money and more comfort to get schematics. But this just my simple opinion.
I'm one of these solo / small players guys, so I make progress slow, thats ok for me. But at the moment I don't see any future for me in this game. The game develops straight in the direction, as it is supposed to be, with big alliances, socities and so on. I hoped to find a place in this universe as a solo / small group player. But it seems impossible to have any progress without help, now.
Everything is fine, I'm not angry or so, I'm just dissapointed that players as me are totally out of scope.
