The idea of switching out scrap types multiple times during a repair job makes my skin crawl. The majority of the time if I’m doing repairs it’s multiple element types. As for the price differences, we’ll I think the market is going to dictate the cost of a given ore but it’s nice to have a variety of sources, so you can use what you have.

I am just getting started, but I've got some ambitious ideas. I expect setbacks -that's not going to stop me from moving forward. If everyone sits on their hands the game will really stagnate. I know a lot of the skepticism here is rooted in experience, but I'm not going to borrow trouble from tomorrow. 

I don’t think this game is ready for release -not with the level of tweaks we are going through. I’ve seen a game get released unfinished before.. all the players that won’t play a game during beta? They won’t tolerate an unfinished game either. Anyone remember Vanguard SoH?
 
To the thread title: YES. I would happily pay $15 monthly for the game in its current state. My entertainment budget is still far less than that of the average non-gamer. If charging more money solves some of the problems NQ has been trying to address, I am on board.

I call dibs on Hedronic Library.

Solo/Duo newb here, 3 months in. I know The taxes are a real stumbling block for someone who doesn’t have their feet under them yet, but the daily login bonus by itself covers one tile. bought our MUs one or two at a time.
 
Demeter definitely changed my plans, no more earthworming for easy $$. So I’m not doing industry. I actually took over an abandoned factory, but I don’t see ever having the ore input needed to run it -but that’s another story.
 
My wife and I play together and have mining units on 6 tiles. I work 40-50 hours most weeks, sometimes more. No problem keeping up with calibration,paying rents out of it, and still getting my building itch scratched. The teamwork helps, makes it more fun for sure, but my point is that it’s not slavery, and you don’t need an org to have fun in this game.
 
I think maybe you had unrealistic expectations and got disappointed by them. It does suck to see how people used to get rich off easy mining and realize you aren’t going that route, but there’s still plenty of opportunity -just a longer windup to it now.

If anyone has read "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, I think the Metaverse was his idea first (1992).  Stephenson's Metaverse was 3D VR space that people entered via terminals, was complete with digital streets and buildings, animated adverts, etc. run by a company called the Global Multimedia Protocol Group, in a future where everything is a corporate franchise. 
 
After a quick review of the related site content, I think they got the idea from Neal, but are trying to coat-tail on the new godawful tacky iteration of the concept. 
 
If anyone hasn't read Snow Crash.. they should.

So no one knows -here anyway.  I guess I will form an org, (just my wife and I playing as a team so far). 
It wouldn't matter if I was just going to tear it all down, I could stagger it, but I am planning to keep most of this base intact. It's too bad some of these exceptional creatives  left, but that's another discussion.
I have another tile I salvaged that's butt-ugly. I can't wait to tear it down.
 
I will let you all know how the core requisitions go unless someone else does.

Hey folks,   -Does anyone know if talents restrict how many static cores you can requisition? I found an abandoned tile with 20 or so cores on it. I have core unit upgrades 4. 
I wonder will I be able to requisition all 20 something cores? They are already placed, so is that going to invoke a restriction, bypass it, or create a bug situation? Anyone know?
 
(Pardon me if this has already been addressed, I searched and did not find an answer.)
 
 

As it should be.  If the game is to be a representation of a dynamic universe, things need to be able to change.  If I fail to play, the world should roll over me.  
 
and the hq system is fine - if confined to actually playing players.

Am I wrong in assuming the purpose of the tax was to clear the land of abandoned constructs?
 
If not that, what is this supposed to accomplish?

Those seem like legitimate questions to me.
