  1. its standard for all MMOs, you do not own anything, you are paying for access to the game, in fact they own all the items on your character, and even your character, dont make the mistake of thinking you actually own anything.  if they chose to, they could take it from you as they own it, this of course never happens unless you are being banned for something.

     

    Its in the TOS somewhere, as it is for all mmos.

  2. PVP is optional.

     

    If you decide you need the ore from roids in the pvp zone, and then you make the decision to go for it. At that point you are accepting that you might be blown up, you wont want to be blown but you are accepting the chance you might be, against your wishes.

     

    When you cross the safe zone border, it even tells you "you might be attacked" If you ignore that message, again you are accepting the risk of being attacked.

     

    its that simple.

     

    If you decide you cant stomach the thought of being blown up you DONT go for the ore or dont do the mission in pvp space.

     

    PVP is optional, you can decide to enter pvp space and risk it

    OR you can totally avoid pvp space.  - Its your choice and therefore Optional

     

    im not even a pvper, ive been called "Carebear" but even I understand PVP is optional and can be totally avoided.  -BUT- if you want the rewards found in PVP space, then you have to equally take the Risk.

     

     

    you said : "And I say that there is only one content,
    PVP can take place anywhere, but on one condition.
    It must be a conscious choice of both sides. "

     

    but that isnt the game rules NQ decided on, you can only play the game they give you.

    For that to work there would need to be a list of available Aphelia ships instead of player owned.  Otherwise you are asking for a major overhaul of combat systems.

     

    aah shame, i was thinking along the lines, -- in the pve mission when you lose, your ship isnt cored and is returned to you, damaged but with the core intact.

    If they can do that with the PVE mission inflicted damage, i assumed that they could do exactly the same with player inflicted damage.

     

    That tells me the aliens we are fighting are not real ships, (they dont move like real ships) but then whats causing the damage on the player ships?

     

     

  4. sorry but just a NO.

     

    For a start its a massive presumption to say "most players will have container augmentation talents at 5"

     

    The system you are proposing would just give the top end of players with money and talents an even more bigger advantage over a new player with nothing but 1 scanner.

     

    When they release new planets, its supposed to be as fair as possible for Everyone. for everyone to find something.

     

    The fact you are cheesing the current system with lots of scanners (its ok i guess to do that) is already a big advantage. BUT new players need a chance as well to get some tiles.

     

    I would take it the other way and just limit how many Scanners a player can activate at once say down to 3 max

     

    just to slow down the process of scanning a whole planet. (but even then big orgs will just throw more people at it)

     

    Planets are already scanned to quickly as it is. Once a tile is found, its claimed and locked away forever with that ore.

     

    On a different thought, its been mentioned before that ore should move like it did in SWG,

    Call it "shiftiing sands" or something or "Ore seasons" after a period of time (a year perhaps) ore re-distributes itself over the planet.

    and then its back to scanning again.

     

     

  5. Great Idea, Ive wanted an arena type combat format since they added PVP into the game.

     

    But lets be absolutely clear on this fact, no one actually loses their ship ?, Its an ideal environment to practice in without the anxiety of losing a ship.

  6. I had a really hard time making an XS ship fit into the 50T limit but when I tried an S ship (which is 150 tons i think), it was really easy, i was at only 80tons and Id added all I wanted.

    Maybe the XS limit could be increased just a tiny bit say to 60T

     

    [EDIT] - afterthought - maybe I pushed the limit on the XS build (it did complete xs missions) and maybe I havnt pushed enough on the S Build at 80T, I still havnt tested the S.

     

    [2nd EDIT] - or it might give you the idea to reduce the S limit :)

  7. the new function is meant as an addition of repairing not a replacement.

     

    Its like you can set the thing to repair the ship so you dont have to do it yourself, its meant as convenient replacement so you dont have to spend time pressing LMB yourself.

    not as a quick way to get a ship fixed.

     

    and with multiple units you can repair multiple ships at the same time, that is a good addition.

     

     

    Now imagine how it would affect PVP an L core ship with many many elements was repaired very quickly and was able to get back into the same fight it was damaged in,

     

    its the same reason that warp beacons take 24 hours to become active after placing etc

    its why aggs are so slow

     

    NQ always gives us benefits with a cost.

     

     

  8. pretty much what it says in the title.

     

    Anyone else experiencing this ?

     

    the thing is EAC doesnt even pop up a message, when the disconnect happens even my web browser seems unable to refresh web pages.

    sometimes i even have to reboot the PC

     

    So on the surface it would be easy to assume that its a problem my end and not EAC at all.

     

    BUT !

     

    this only started when they added easy anti cheat,   it cant be a co-incidence can it ?

     

    Is there any info on what EAC is actually monitoring and how it can interfere with applications ?

     

  9. " 'Fuel Intake' able to act as a proxy for a single fuel tank."

     

    Lots of readers have misunderstood.

     

    The fuel intake (that little door) is going to be used as a remote fueling point for a Single tank, it isnt going to link multiple tanks together.

     

    The benefit is, you can put your tanks all over the ship but have a "wall"  of fuel intakes, one for each tank, in a convenient place, say the bridge/pilot room.

    PvP Improvements


     and potentially restricting the ability to remove cargo while in combat.


     

     

    Why ??

    pvers dont get enough when they destroy your ship?

     

    Its litterly the only fun i get when my ship is destroyed, pvpers are going to deprive me of my ship.
    the only fun i get out of it is depriving the pvper of my cargo.

     

    dumping cargo is the only "weapon" miners have against a pvp ship

     

    but NQ says NO, the pvpers get to blow up your ship AND take your cargo...

    Hey Cerveau, I just wanted to let you know that you will indeed be getting a sanctuary control unit on your gold kickstarter account along with the other rewards you are entitled too. The support team is still investigating the issue and you can read the latest official statement here

    @cerveau
    The fact that you have the STU on your account with a Supporter Pack and not the one on your Founder Pack confirm what has been uncovered during the ongoing investigation: There shouldn't be any missing STUs coming from the Supporter Packs, as it was a reward included in those packs by default. However, there are some groups of founder backers which seemed to have not received the gift promised at the Supporter Packs release (1 or 2 STUs for Founder backers, depending of the Founder level, starting at Silver).

    Best Regards,

    Nyzaltar.

     

     

    Thank you for your response to my query.   However I am not sure i have been fully understood. maybe I am being a little dumb but it is not clear to me from

    your quote above, that I will receive a STU on my Gold KS acc.

     

    I have multiple NQ accounts, the Kickstarter Gold (early bird) is an entirely separate account to my sponsor/contributor (alt) account.

     

    Yes I have recieved the STU and cosmetic items correctly on the separate sponsor account, i merely included that as a reference.

     

    My query is for my first account, my primary account which is the Kick starter Gold (early bird) has only received the Pioneer pack and RAF items

    from BETA and not any KS items (but im really only concerned atm about the STU), i am aware the other digital rewards as the pets etc will come later, so not to concerned about those atm.

     

    Right now my only wish is for you to Confirm or Not that I will receive 1 STU on my GOLD KS account or that investigations are still on going in that respect.

     

    Thanks cerveau

    How will things work with the STU?  Is it the case that only the backers will have a sanctuary territory unit and everyone else will spawn on Haven?  Or will there be another way to get an STU or the option to spawn on Sanctuary instead?

     

    my alt has a SANC tu in its nano, i was like WTF,  whats that doing there, where as my KS backer acc, nada, anyway to answer your question all I would have to do is fly to sanc and claim a tile with it.

  14. I am your alioth neighbour.

     

    Msoul is completely right about your tiles and constructs.

     

    Delove, your stuff is gone because I looted it due to the inactive asset system, you were gone months, you're tile is still there but all the cores on it are now mine.

    (all your surrounding tiles tiles went poof cept one)

     

    Its all going to be wiped anyway BUT if you want i can transfer all the cores back to you, i havent moved the ships or dismantled the base.

     

    upto you

     

    Although i did loot a lot of Core BPS gods knows why you put them in a container, they should be kept in your nano.

     

    you were gone months, what was i supposed to do, let some random take it all, least you got a chance to get it back

  15. DU is not blurry.

     

    In the options is a check box to turn off "Motion Blur"  only, which only affects motion blur.

    (speed blur afaik affects only when flying in ships, the stars/dust moving past your ship have an additional blur affect, I turned it off)

     

    Although Geforce Now can be blurry at times.

     

    YT videos are probably seem blurry because the video has been down scaled in res or something.

     

    Also In game its better to play at the native res of your monitor,

     

    But in short DU is not blurry.

     

    [EDIT] below are the options currently available, Mine is set to res 2560x1600, the native res of my monitor

     

    Hover the mouse over certain options and you get the following ToolTips

     

    "Motion Blur"
    Keeps the center of view clear and blurs the surroundings based on the AVATARS speed

     

    "Speed Blur"
    Keeps the center of view clear and blurs the surroundings based on the CONSTRUCTS speed (external cameras only)
