    calewars got a reaction from energy_sync in Update and my concerns   
    They seem to have been too busy trying to perfect the technology of a single-shard MMO which in turn can only go so far, yea cool everyone can play on the same server but if the gameplay is absolute dog shit and forces you to be the consumer and apart of the market it originally said you didn't need to participate in what's the point? Yes I understand games like these take time but with the immense amount of crowdfunding and private investments put into the game you cannot promise a game and slowly alter it without notice for what it was originally supposed to be, its senseless to have a game to big with such a small community behind it because 90% of them were driven off by beta release.

    Yep. I have noticed some things they changed quietly as well. First off, I remember when I got the gold founder package (there were 2 gold packages but one was a little more expensive but only added a t shirt and some other physical item), it said that I would get beta keys to give to friends. Then later it was clarified in 2017 that gold members would be getting 2 beta keys each. Beta comes around and I only get one. I ask NQ why I only got one and supposedly the gold package I got was the wrong one and I only got one. Meanwhile I've seen others with the same package get 2 keys.
     
    Another thing NQ has swept under the rug is new solar systems. According to one of the original roadmaps, we were supposed to have a galaxy to explore in beta. Later on in alpha, NQ said new solar systems would be added at release. That makes sense because that seems like a huge thing to put into the game. But later on they said it would be added after release, and now, there is no mention of it at all from them.
     
    These are the only things I can remember off the top of my head, but it would be nice if NQ was a little more transparent and didn't change things without telling us.

    I talked with many of the original core members of the Opean Federation almost immediately after the twitch stream from NQ yesterday, Monday December 7th. I wanted to raise many of my concerns revolving around what is going to happen in the game and the community and how it's killing the creativity that was originally offered to the community almost forcing players to come together in a senseless fashion. The new update is going to make small, medium and somewhat sizeable factories obsolete killing any kind of start up for small organizations that even range in the 100s making people incapable of getting off planet without participating in the in game economy and even larger organizations will have trouble surviving this update especially DSI who has recently lost a mega factory and suffered substantial losses on the battlefield putting them in a unrecoverable setback after this update. Taking away the creativity and inspiration that originally brought the community together in the first place is going to kill whatever community is still left playing considering the average activity rate on the server is 200 players. I originally came to the game because I loved the balance between the in game market place and the creative aspect of it. 
     
    This update hinders so many possibilities small organizations are achieving and a timely basis and goal to goal trend and going to nerf the idea of small organizations or clans making a difference or becoming sizeable in game without having a massive player-base compared to organizations like the Empire which currently has 1.7K members in their community which compared to the game and what it is turning into solidifying their power (be aware I'm using the empire has an example) but small organizations competing with the giants is no longer a possibility but irrefutable and obsolete. 
     
    The idea that I and my friends could log into this game and work on an ever expanding factory and going into space to form the empire we originally wanted too is now not a possibility that this update is forcing players to become Consumers instead of Creators like originally intended. The only organizations that will welcome and benefit off this update are the largest of organizations or the most well setup corporations that have little to lose except against espionage considering corporations at this point will become an essential piece of the game and will force players to rely on them monopolizing creativity in its process killing the game's freedom and expansion it offers severely limiting it.

    The big problem here is that NQ is pretending the game is in beta when changes like these are clearly not something which you would see in beta at all. It just confirms the game is at best early alpha in actual development state. And in that context, a wipe would be pretty much a given.

    I think these changes may well have a much worse fallout than a wipe would have at this stage and by wiping, NQ would provide a level playing field where yes, a larger org will have advantages for sure, but everyone gets to have a chance to build their position in the game after major changes, unlike now where overnight the "haves" get more and the "have nots" are going to have a _much_ harder time to get anything.
     
    NQ at least has the sensibility to not also bring in their linked container nerf which I am guessing would have nerfed range to something like 250-300 meters at full talent skills. The justification for this nerf is absolutely mindboggling and just underlines NQ (and from how he spoke on the QA I feel JC especially) is totally disconnected from what  the player base wants or does. NQ is creating JC's sandbox and we get to play in it as long as we do as he envisions we do.

    I second this. I wanted to play this game to build up cool ships and buildings and to play with friends, but even doing simple things in this game requires so much grinding that it sucks all the fun right out. And this update will just make it even worse. It really seems like NQ is trying to make players play a specific way. Either you're in the top group of orgs/players or you have to play it by their rules. How fun.

    This pretty much sums up the exact intention NQ has for this update. They want to brute force the markets into people's gameplay unless they are part of the big orgs who will continue to basically take care of their own internally and now will also be able to to benefit form the small player groups and solo players by controlling the markets.
     
    NQ wants it this way and made the changes to achieve this.

    This is Elector Cale(wars) bringing up some economics again.
     
     
    Lets say there was a DU mechanic where you could model small objects like a bobble head. You could sell them by producing them on the DU player market for fun and make profit. Instead of modeling with blender and having so much more mechanics to have to add and deal with. Why not make a in game model system similair to blender? Lets say you had 1 block worth of material to sculpt something. If you wanted to sculpt something that was the size of 10 cubes it would take 10 cubes from your invintory. Once one if made you could save it and it could be made with small factory units or it could be super scaled with more materials. Instead of having to use blender, skecthup. or something to that sort and go through the trouble of uploading it through the market. This could also bring more mechanics such as modeling chairs or tables maby even some sort of lighting systems to sculpt or buy. These would be able to be placed for decoration mainly.
     
    Some might say its a stupid idea and its usless. In real life toys are usless. Theres no point for toys or bobble heads. We do it for fun, or just to make a profit off of people who like stuff like that. People are doing this Now! People are already modeling various ships for dual later on. You can find them on various posts.
