    I mean, to be fair, you are choosing the grind life. Have you considered playing with other people? You can join an org, or you can even stay solo but make contacts to do projects. One thing our org does, is set up a small 100% automated industry that only takes T1. It produces 7mil quanta a day selling to bots. We then use that quanta to buy things we need. When we divvy up the mining duties its maybe 1 hour of mining to keep the machines on. And if they shut down for a little it's not the end of the world, they turn right back on. With that quanta we use to purchase everything we need, and work on other projects that interest us.  Not saying everything is 100% ez but with some effort trying to meet people, you can find things you enjoy and monetize it to a degree. The biggest mistake I see brand new people do is thinking they need to build every thing themselves.  I only make fuel and voxels. Every thing else I find on the market. And usually at pretty good prices.  Ya I have to mine a little, bit that becomes a very small percentage of my game time. My alt with industry skills make it more efficient too.  

    Wait, you don't even need to move the goods to the markets? Sounds like an exploit.

  2. Well technically you are doing an "instant shuttle" between sanct and Alloth. Once AI is in and it can fly I can see this actually taking more than the load times. I also am not sure if the transports between districts in Alloth will make it long term and also they are short range of about 20km max.

     

    Also, just no. Supply and demand - if planet X only has ABC and planet Y only has DEF then instant transporting between the two would negate any reason to make ore planet specific ergo no reason for folks to make a trip to sell ore for more on planet y where the ore would be worth more to folks not wanting to make the trip.

    A "locate construct" will not help, because the speeder is below the surface and not reachable. But the info about the 100k per day is useful. Because of bugs I have lost the speeder and about 150k.

    You can do a "recall" from the map on any construct not more than 4k away.  Ergo if your ship is "below ground" you can get it back via the M or F4 key, right clicking on the construct, and click "recall" or is it "retrieve", and your ship will be dropped in front of you.

  4. Well topically this thread is incorrect. Mechanically I am of two minds - one, yeah it sucks to have your ship moved without your consent to PvP space and destroyed. However, the mechanics used to do this are sound. Why, do you ask, easy:

     

    1) You want players to remove junk from their property. So we don't want the ability to remove constructs from your land as that just means folks will grief you by parking borg cubes on your ship/base so you can't use it.

    2) You want players to be able to tow other player's ships (as a "business" or as an "org function" or something similar). This is immersive and potential gameplay - AAA ship transport and towing.

    3) You were offline but 1 and 2 still need to be viable as not having them would allow worse things to happen or not allow emergent gameplay

     

    I don't see folks complaining about people free range mining land they haven't claimed.

    I don't see folks complaining about people putting borg shells over their property as a "denial of use" effort.

     

    Yes it sucks, yes it's a lesson for us all, but no, as the game mechanics were used and you did park your ship at an insecure location and it got stolen, it is not an exploit. Sadly I can't agree with the OP no matter how much I want to agree with the OP.

     

    Bottom line: Sucks - yes, exploit - no.  

  5. Do your inventory items have a white box around them with a little person in the corner? That means you've claimed the item. Just right click and unclaim and see if that doesn't fix it. Al
