To replace quanta tax by consumable ?

[Knight-Sevy]

Hi,

For TU rather than a quanta tax why not use a Consumable for maintenance?

This will help boost the economy and will not give the feeling of having to generate quanta (part of the mining unit of a tile that can be used to make the maintenance consumable).

Make the maintenance a consumable rather than quantas to arrange more "emergent" gameplay with possibly PvP blockades to prevent a supply or that kind of thing.

Just my thoughts

The issue with making it a consumable is that it then no longer removes quanta from the economy. I think NQ underestimated how much of a faucet missions were, and now they're trying to correct it.

Power mechanics mate. That would make up for taxes, New gameplay loops, balancing, new work loops, New pve loops, ....

 

But hey, guess it's easier to just do it the NQ way instead if just think about it for a second ans give us mechanics which avtually make sense and were promised long Time ago AND would solve a lot of problemes

That's kinda the problem. Power would solve many long standing issues with balance (industry, taxes, tiles taken but players left, balancing the game in preparation for ava/atmo pvp, getting new pve loops, creating a market for ppl interested in doing that, create more oppertunity to get new mechanics on the way like territory Shields and so on). But NQ goes for an easy cop out it seems

How do you think, with power implementing, is wipe required?

Not really, why would it be. Let everything run on a 3 month grace period where ppl Can adjust ans where all the ins and outs can be balanced ans you're done
