Daily Login is 150k. Rent is 1mil a week. 

Nice. 50k weekly profit. You might be able to buy something with that. Maybe. Someday.  Eventually.

Adding an "apply points to current queue" button is hard.. It would make respec easy enough on a point reset to the pool if you can just drop talents in the queue and hit a button to apply points but.. that is very hard to program indeed.. /s

Not the first time NQ carpet bombs an issue to cover it up instead of actually fixing it or create solutions. Many initial incentives have been undone, many delayed responses now just are put in place with no regard for the created exceptions and allowances.
 
The game has become pretty much a spreadsheet simulator where everything is done by playing a numbers game, not by introducting actual gameplay mechanics. There is no money to do that, changing numbers in the database through another UI panel is the easiest and cheapest option.

NQ seems to not have the time, ability or resources to actually create solutions. Just slapping taxes on anything is really a cop out. Designing proper solutions would have required groundwork early on, something NQ choose to not do despite many suggestions and ideas offered by the comunity going back several years.

Can you please do the same for PVP? You change all time our voxel tanking, our weapon, capacity cost, the meta itself... Don't listen only PVE players plz, thanks.

At that point we'd be talking about a product that has spent over a decade in the alpha/beta stage...
 
If NQ is changing the game's design because they can't afford to pay their rented servers, there's little chance that they can afford another 3-5 years paying 50-100 people across two offices (on top of server costs).
 
 
This isn't a great beta program.
 
It's been pointed out many times that NQ doesn't really read this forum or listen to player suggestions -- this is something etched into the history of this forum many times over. Their philosophy of customer engagement is very poor; they only look at pics of constructs posted on Reddit (if anything). 
 
They resent beta players for finding exploits and "slowing them down", but that's literally the point of beta. If you expect the population of a release MMO to play "honorably" that's another point that shows their hubris and inexperience. 
 
Yeah DU's biggest issues are in the dev of the game itself...but the company culture and the whole philosophy of how this beta program is run (or not run) are also big red flags. They don't respect their players and it shows with how they communicate (or don't) and run their "beta" program. 

Jupp.. And it is not exactly a new problem.
Right from the very start in 2016 we asked them multiple times.
 
- How will you solve the scaling issues with finite resources in an persistent world?
- What about server and bandwidth requirements as we get more and more players digging?
- How will you address the "swiss cheese" problem around popular areas?
 
And all we got where either silence or the NQ trademark quote "don't worry guys, we are looking into this", which we have learned means they have no clue how to solve it.
So I guess we have now come full circle, and NQ is finally now in late 2021 addressing the major problems with the game that we pointed out for them in the beginning.

Imagine if NQ moved away from relying on LUA for transponders and went the RDMS route. Players could then just add individuals or organisations of ship owners in to the rights of the transponder and they could show as green / blue while everyone else in pvp zone shows as red. ?

"How could they possibly know server costs would be this high? That people would use the tools to mine...?" 
 
Anyone that's ever played an MMO would know...NQ was supposedly "shocked" at how quickly players made it to space, too. It's like they never bothered to play an MMO and vastly underestimated their players.

You know how we know that NQ never really understood how the game would scale....? Because they thought they could make a single shard game but didn't invent anything special to handle the idea of a ton of people occupying one area. The "proof" they made with bots running around was pretty laughable to anyone that understands benchmarking. 
 
You don't get credit for innovation if the thing you "innovate" doesn't work and the reason no one else has done it....is because it doesn't work. 
 
Besides that, it's hard to say that DU is "innovative" running on an off-the-shelf engine and off-the-shelf servers -- that really matters, because it shows how they can't optimize low-level details for either the engine or server infrastructure. Even without mining, will the game really scale...? We'll see. 
 
Besides, what exactly is so innovative about either their design or tech? It's a very good building sandbox with a crappy combat model strapped on...and a vague promise of more. I agree that the game they pitched in their adverts is innovative as all hell, but that's not what DU is today. 
 
If the game does get popular, you can be sure that Demeter won't be the last design change driven by scale and cost.  

In the end it doesnt matter if this is legit or not. At least it brings Interactions.
 
If it's legit, superb, Nice, well done
If it's not, noone will fall for it (or only noobs where they can't rob anything either way) so it's also Nice and well done
 
Correct me if im wrong but Johnny liking this could also mean he likes thé interaction. Because you know. Then there isnt ONE ship to Fight out there but SEVERAL, which makes life more fun in du. 
You just dont know ans just imply and think you're right because of personal biases
 
 

Or Just post them so the Community can discuss them ?‍♂️

From the start, we announced that we would be on asteroids.

Not necessarily with great ambition, we thought we were dealing with a few other big organizations and sharing the "possession" of the asteroids.
 
The point is, these large organizations have given up on the game and left Legion alone.
 
Things may change in the future as new groups are formed and organized.
 
But will these new groups kill fewer unarmed ships than Legion ?

Let me doubt.

@Draqolas I would just like you to sit down and explain the evidence you have on Legion abuse. (and by evidence, I mean not a random screen of a radar screen x'D)
 
I can assure you that 3/4 of our kills are simply due to the fact that people make mistakes or have a lack of experience in PVP, the rest is only time that we invest in the game, in camping or checking roids. PVP zone isn't supposed to be an area where people love each other and don't shoot each other, you need pirates, you need risk and right now PVP costs more to pirates than to victims, so why are you complaining?
 
Sneaky Snake does not only attack Legion, he also attacks all the haulers possible (check his video >.>) and this from the beginning of the game, thinking that without Legion the PVP will be easier and that your friends will not be killed is an utopia. (On his video against the Legion Argosy, they all have the Legion tag, they use it to make you believe it's us and you follow them like sheep without trying to understand the troll)
 
At Legion we have not increased our number of org since the start of the beta, by leaving AC we even reduced our number a lot (imagine if we still be allied with IC / ZC / STC / DSI  ...), our goal is not to be the only power, we just want to do some good PVP fight and therefore, we leave the possibility to the players to fight our "supremacy" by allying themselves and easily exceeding our number.
 
You can say whatever you want, Legion is a necessary threat, if one day we disappear after your attempts to make this game boring and irrelevant, you will realize your mistake but no one will come to dry your tears.

then those russians are legion 2.0 \o/ good for them I guess
 
besides:
who dictates what "normal" players are? you? how come? enlighten us
 
oh and also: RL stuff has nothing to do here ?‍♂️

not really. they do what you're supposed to do in the PVP zone. no griefing involved there

Already? That was fast!
 
Since it's been only 2 years or so, you would have to remind me of the benefits and the system itself. I've forgotten

this tbh
 
cities don't serve any purpose whatsoever with current mechanics. except for RP purposes maybe, but noone needs special "rooms" for anything in the game right now. you don't need gathering halls, tactical command centers or anything alike. nothing a city provides serves any purpose. Same goes for spacestations. All players really need is storage and landing pads. Everything else is completely useless
 
 
EDIT:
oh and besides the technical limitation of the single shard server - I very much doubt that cities will ever work where more than 2000 ppl concurrently do stuff within 1km of each other. lagfest ftw. see market 6

a french fleet....so you'r ships only go in reverse?
 
gl out there o7

it's not NQs job to provide factions. It's up to the players to come up with that and it's up to the players to band together to hunt and kill pirates or to make some pocket of the pvp zone relatively safe - see EVE, works there since 2004. Don't see a reason it wouldn't work here if ppl actually started working together
