Noddles

I wont go into the fine detail of our patterns etc but we have scanned enough to know when you find X, Y isnt going to be 1 hex away so we adjust. We located everything of value in 66% of the planet, of course some people did beat us to things we would have eventually found as we moved across the planet. 

The moon is a whole other ball game as it revolves around 1-2 massive blobs as seen on the moons at launch and requires a totally different tactic.
 
As I say our doors are open, we are always recruiting. The more players who do this with us the more we get, but in turn this will cause debate within the community.
 
I have seen organised mission teams do insane quanta per day, we dont do it as I find mission running boring and too afk for me. Scanning at least gives me 7mins in between scans to shop on the market or work on the factory : )

No this is untrue, We were interested in T2/T3/T4, what was listed was the flowers we didnt need. The best ones we kept and the rest we sold to the open market. 

We only have t1 flowers on alioth as we used calibration tiles like everyone else for our ore : )

T3/T4/T5 on Jago was the same, we kept what we needed sold what we didnt. I know some orgs kept everything preventing access to those fields from the majority of players but I can confirm on Jago we sold many flowers. TRIs to players and orgs of all sizes.
 
We will do the same on the next planets, we arent hoarders, we just love scanning : ) its like the rush you get from scratching a scratch card : )

Nope. Considering resources are no longer finite, this is a great number of planets tbh. If theyd shrink the safe zone we'd be even better off. There simply aren't enough players rn for that many planets. 

Added a new augmented reality HUD for tracking the output and states of your factory's industry machines. This display is free forever, and simple to set up (you just need a programming board element).
 
The display can filter the view by status type, and you can filter with search keywords.. industry unit types or output product names (partial searches work). For more info, demo video here:
 
 

BOO is always recruiting if anyone would like to mine in pvp space and participate in driveby muggings. 

Im telling NQ, if you can attack people in the PVP zone clearly it is a bug they must fix!

Yeah if it makes you feel better this has been a constant problem since even before the beta. 

This was the most disappointing stream I've seen for a major announcement you literally didn't release any new feature rich new additions.
 
I expected a major announcement to be new systems coming for launch like territory warfare which was due last year or energy systems.
 
Do you folks realise adding either of those two features later on is not ideal especially energy ?.
 
I totally understand the planets and I also equally hoped a chance to move them all closer to avoid the snooze fest of flying slowboating.
 
Anyway it's disheartening indeed after all these years playing.  Your not convincing people to give it a go.

Why dont we just remove the planets forever? We don't need all of them, they spread the player base out too much, and they have almost zero purpose right now. Then just shrink the safe zone back to the alioth market region and smoon/haven.

Id say anything that requires t4+ should require you to entire pvp. If you want high amounts of t3 that should also be pvp. 

Look the wipe would be the perfect time to change things up and introduce new mechanics. 
 
First Id delete all but 1 of the outer planets and move the safe zones back to their original promised borders. 
 
Second I'd bring in player markets and remove all the markets outside of the alioth safe zone. 
 
Third I'd finally create and introduce energy systems to be the great balance that everything needs. 
 
Also anyone who thought there wouldnt be a wipe post beta was kidding themselves. If youd been here since the alphas and knew all the exploits and bugs, you'd know a wipe was the only option.

Economy pretty much was owned by several exploiters good part of first year. And even when NQ gone eventually for some lazy bans, they prob we tiped about it or "sensed" somehow, cashing out irl for thousands of $/euro.

Whole "beyond curtains" story is immense shame. On level I rarely seen in serious MMO.

I'd rejoin the game tomorrow if they delivered the game they promised when I joined at A2. 
 
Player markets, safe zones limited to sanc moon and the sanc zone on alioth, and atmo pvp. Thats the bare minimum tbh. That ignores a lot of what I think would be really nice to have features or changes. 

The reality is that a lot of these things shouldn't have ever been bot/npc driven actions after the first month. 
 
Tile maintenance should've been capped by the amount you could protect as well as power. Tile taxes should have been a player system of taxing people to mine or build on your land. 
 
T1 schematics should've never existed. T2+ schematics should've been created through a research process. 
 
Player markets should have been the standard within the first few months after an initial amount of currency was generated. The rest of the money could them come from the standard UBI. Currency sinks could have been driven by market taxing and costs to be on sanctuary. 
 
 

So, I'm in favor of a complete wipe for release.  We're getting closer to a good state and game loop (though not quite there yet).  
I do wish that paid-beta backers could be compensated for paying for a persistent world that wasn't.
 
Now my idea; There will always be new players coming in and massive wealth stockpiles.  People also like a fresh experience and not facing a giant, well established war machine.  We also got promised new solar systems and gates to travel between the two systems; I think combining the ideas would be neat.  A new solar system with a new Arkship that is disconnected from Alioth's solar system where players could elect to start a new character.  To 'link' the systems, both sides would need to construct gates; the 'old' system would be able to construct it fairly quickly, but the new system players would need to start from scratch and have some sort of hard time gate from several months to over a year(talents, infrastructure, build time, something).  Once the gates are built, the two solar systems are connected and everything syncs up (gates should be able to be destroyed, but that's just the nature of things).  This process could be repeated every couple of years whenever NQ decides to release new solar systems.

Just gonna put out there, I don't remember auto-miners being promised during kickstarter, but I do remember Avatar vs Avatar combat and territory warfare ? 

I'll go a step further, and point out the trailer for the game has none of this stuff mentioned, but territory warfare is still in there ? 
 
 
 
tl;dw - none of this stuff is making me excited to play the game, when there are still glaring features missing (that are still advertised) to the point of being completely forgotten about by the community. 

But Lethys. That would be actual content. We don't do content here.

You are incorrect. There will still be an inflation because the alt runners can easily make a billion a day. However the wealth divide between players and play styles will widen far further than it even is now. This will not be sustainable and another section of the player base will join the pvpers in vanishing from the game slowly but surely. 

? Think BOO already has a field office inside.

If only the tax or upkeep would've been something NQ could build upon to make even more content for the game like....uh.....IDK.....freaking power systems Like promised. But nononononononononono, they go the ez route
