Hey you want to join our org. if we combine our band aids we might be able to make a ship
 

So the band aid holding the entire game's economy together will be a highly limited resource that can be gained in an infinitely increasing scale depending on how many accounts you're willing to pay for.
 

if you are trying to close the server down, just turn it off and never turn it back on , be done with it already. 

With all the talk about how we will react to it one would think they might actually change some of this crap. But, knowing NQ for what they are this is coming Tuesday and we can all get bent. Because it's their game and we just pay for the right to be told we're wrong and don't see the game dying around us every day from garbage development.
 
They're trying to balance an economy when the elements and gameplay loops aren't even established.  
 
They can't get away with telling us we didn't say anything either. The whole post they tried to bury when they opened this one says we were loud and clear. but we will be ignored yet again.

after listening to the last podcast, i think this is no longer an open sandbox. I also think that a few things are happening here.
1. Someone is trying to force their version of an economy down our throats. which never works (because they are not encomiast) and is not very open sand box.
2. The more likely reason is that they are forcing a need for more alts (income proposes).  
 
in any case, once this is implemented and NQ figures out, they broke the game again and people that do mass industry leave and don't come back just like before, it will be a bit too late for them to figure out that they only make the game they don't run it or pay for it.
 
I am the DeFacto leader of Shadow Templar and after this is implemented, we will no longer provide tokened Caterpillar elevators or ships to the general public. This is due to the fact that this change will not allow us to maintain the ability to produce the parts necessary to maintain token sales. 
 
Just FYI whatever nut said players don't make money outside the market clearly doesn't know what's going on in the game they are attempting to develop. In Shadow Templar's case we have never sold parts as a means of income, yet we are fairly wealthy and self-sufficient.
