Personally I am really excited about the mission system as it is a step towards a more coherent civilisation. Personally I plan to use it a lot, our org is desperate for people to move around stuff and happy to pay for people to do it. I do agree it will not interest some people who are driven by 'quanta per hour' but anyone really serious about that wouldnt have been selling ore to bots (anyone who knows the game well will tell you that is the lowest return on your time invested). It is not only hauling which it could help, provision of repair and refuel services for example will now become a lot more viable. I just wish is included some form of marketing when player could place adverts for quanta and showcase there own venues. Simple letting us add icons to tiles we own on the map to show public venues would be a good start.

I have played a lot of games which make players do certain things to ensure security of there assets and if they dont do those things they lose there assets. Which WILL be the case for all of the assets of unsubbed players if and when NQ include atmos pvp. I am not sure I am suggesting anything that radical. Just asking people to make sure there stuff is on a secure tiles once every seven days. Hardly suggesting nightime raiding lol. I guarantee you, if this was in place from the start of the game, noone would leave there stuff out. That said I am quite happy with your solution. Still not going to concede that parking your stuff at your base once a week is asking a lot.

Can confirm this is what happens every time you switch flight mode using TAB. Personally I only use cruise over 1000m.

No, I just want people to take care of there stuff. People abandon stuff for extended periods of time for one reason and it isnt dinner, it is because they can. If you put a limit on it, they would stop doing it. Although NQ could just straight to player made market terminals and the whole thing becomes moot

Noone loses anything if they put it away, subbed or unsubbed. Also there is very chance that with territory pvp, unsubbed people could be coming back to nothing anyway.

I think you might be exaggerating a bit here. Getting a single tile on a planet is very cheap. I also have no issue with people logging off at a market because they do not want to fly home. Just if you are going to leave them there you know you need to get on within xxx days to move it.

Been playing this game since alpha, I have never once left a construct somewhere that I didnt own, let alone for an extended period of time. There is never any justifiable reason to do it. Tiles are super easy to get and super cheap. Also salvaging IS a gameplay path, it wouldnt just be at the districts but all the abandoned constructs people have left lying around. In early beta, when you could take control of crashed ship via salvaging loads of people did it. Until people complained that they were losing stuff and NQ got rid of it. This isnt punishing the idle, is it only punishes players who abandon their stuff everywhere. And it isnt 'permanent destruction' it is recycling.

you dont compact it, you OPEN it up, so anyone can take it, that would soon get them to sort their parking out

Simple, put in a timer on ALL ship that if they are parked outside an territory owned by that player (or org) then they unlock in 7 days and can be salvaged. Removes spam and creates a really cool gameplay paths for players.

Classy post @blazemonger

See I find 4-5 month odd too. Could just be me, I just dont get it, if I dont like a game I drop it, go do something else. People are different though I suppose.

Fair play, would just love for people to only post constructive criticism not destructive. People highlighting a problem and then outlining a tangible solution is cool. We dont need people starting fires because they like watching things burn.

Sorry who do I dislike? Taking this a bit personal mate? To be honest Blaze, you are not the worst offender by a long shot, at least you try to add something constructive to your comments and to be fair, you have stuck to your position. You never felt JC should be running things and it appears that could now be the case. I have seen you calling for some calm, so how about we let the dust settle and post up some ideas about how we can turn things around. Still find it a bit weird people hanging around on a forum for a game they havent played in years lol. Like having a bad meal at a restaurant and then camping outside for two years trying to put people off. Let it go!!

I really wouldnt be surprised lol. I have been arguing on and off with this lot for years. Very few of the main negative posters on here play the game, nor have they done for some time. Just people who want to see the game fail so they can say - "I told you so"

But you dont play DU, you play SC? Judging by your social, you havent played DU in years. I just dont understand how anyone could spend less than £100 on something and then feel so entitled that they continue to slag the game off for years after they stop playing it. Get over it dood, move on, leave us players who are trying to make the game work to deal with it.

Your idea of 'caring' for something appears to be continuing to kick it until it dies.

Just wish you would all go to those other games forums, rather than trying to destroy a game you no longer play, all very vindictive. I cant remember EVER hanging around in the forum of a game I had left to put it down, for me it displays the worst of human nature.

LMAO you think the sort of person who works for an MMO at the weekend would have the authority to deal with this? Interesting for me that it was all the usual suspects on here and on Discord making up their lies whilst trying to act 'in the know'.

Didnt this all kick off on bank holiday weekend?

You sure? I dont know of a single person this has happened to, everyone I know whose sub ran out can no longer play. I know it does happen but it certainly is NOT the case it happens to everyone.

Gutted, you did a brilliant job, including the many times you warned me. Hope you are going on to great things.

Genuinely interested how you were "priced out of the economy" I am a duo player and not had any problems but not traded as much recently?

If they included crashed ship then is becomes a gameplay element

Did you just openly admit to cheating in other games and using people on the inside, wow........
