MINING
This is a very slow process, I have spent 70% of my time getting ores, to either sell, or Nano craft into things to build. without Industry.
1.mining drills that mine while you are having fun doing other things. so automation, and it mines while you are online or offline. T1 ore drills mine 2000L max per hour. they can only mine one resource at a time, you can only have 4 going at any one time, no matter what planet they are on, or how many plots you have.
2. T2 and up drills - you can only have 1 of each TIER drill running, anywhere at any one time. mines 10k L per hour. but can be set to mine up to 4 different resources at one time. You can still have 3 or 4 T1 drills going on your plot, as well.
i think there are 5 TEIRS of ore.... so that mean you can have three T1 drills, one T2, one T3, one T4, one T5 drill going at one time.
T3 and up cannot be used in Sanctuary planets or moons. < so no high end stuff getting afk botted, cause someone will come kill you.
T3 and up can be linked to containers, to fill hauler ships.
T1 and T2 cannot be linked to ships. they have inventory built in, and have to be manually emptied.
3. ADD MORE ORES UNDERGROUND. MAKE THEM EASIER TO FIND...the whole......DIG DIG DIG, SCAN, DIG DIG DIG, SCAN, DIG DIG DIG SCAN, DIG DIG DIG SCAN, DIG DIG DIG SCAN....detect detect, DIG DIG DIG SCAN, detect detect...DIG DIG.....then MINE MINE MINE.....START OVER AGAIN....SUCKKKSSSSSSSSS ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS < had to get a bit unprofessional here...cause its bad. Finding one particular ore can take a hour or even longer....
4. Make sure every plot has each T1 ores of each type to mine...cause mine has no COAL....every coal vein is on another plot....and i had to find a vein of aluminum or Bauxite, deep below water level on moon. i have more Malachite than i know what to do with...considering i cant find anything to do with it...and have to fly everywhere to try and sell it...cause NOBODY WANTS IT.... so to get any COAL, i have to mine it from the surface rocks...cause I CAN NO DO SPACE RIGHT NOW..NEWB...
SHIPS - tell people they can modify their hovercrafts into flyers. I just figured it out buy moving the wings on the back to the side. so they do not go all out spending their money on making a ship, and buying another core. till they are ready to step it up.
Make ship building a bit easier on certain things.
Like vertical flight engines can be linked to seat, so when pressing space bar, you GO UP....instead of them being linked to forward flight. select engine, and set it to vertical, then link to SEAT. this will allow for more interesting ships. Also make it where setting them at certain power levels gives HOVER at high altitude...i am aware of antigravity pads, but not everyone want to build the Nebucadnezzar from the matrix.
ALLOW for the crafting of REAL capital ships - ones that can carry other ships, and massive amounts of weight. like real heavy end game. even a battle ship, that has a deck with dozens of other fighters inside of it. that people can then take out and fight in mass battles.
This is the extent of ship crafting that i know, till i get deeper into the game. but so far vertical flight for me is either manuver tool and jump into seat. or it does not work so well. i have already gotten tired of having to stick hover pads on things, and make them not so UGLY.
Also make it more FAKE on flight. becasue Some might agree a ship with 40 engines, sticking out everywhere, 100 retro rockets, a dozen more space engines, 20 fuel tanks....looks like a flying Katamari ball... IT IS HIDIOUS, HERENDOUS, TERRIBLE, UGLY...pick one of those words.
There is someone who make a nice replica of a YT3000 or the Falcon from star wars. but looking at it, I KNOW it has to be almost impossible to fly. probably only hovers really well.
HOUSE BUILDING MATERIAL VENDOR. the 200 m3 concrete, is not enough to make a full decent starter base, maybe allow for a max of 5 total purchases. cause i have a being plate of aluminum filling the whole in my roof from running out of concrete.
IN END.... so far i like what i see, glad i got in somewhere at ground lvl, so my skill points carry over to Launch. Because coming from Eve Online well when i played it years ago. I REALLY HATED...that no matter how much time i put into anything. someone who had been on for a year, would always be a year ahead of me on skills....and i was outgunned from jump...and had to stay in a soul sucking corp to stay alive. and even then, having to transport bought items to our base out in null sec, i got tired of my ships getting destroyed by pirates, when no one in the corp was willing to escort me....so then all i could do was sit in a station and wait hours....or sit in a miner, mining for hours...till i said...FORK THIS and QUIT.
