Ask Aphelia Episode #12 - Discussion thread

[NQ-Nyota]

Have you had a chance to listen Ask Aphelia Episode #12? Here's the discussion thread for it.

It's a bit telling that hours later this thread is still empty.

 

Also a bit telling - in my opinion - that I can't recall a single one of the questions anymore.

The repair unit seems like it's really only for pvp, is there anything planned to make it useful for PvE, meaning can it be redesigned to use scrap instead of elements.

You ruined it!  

 

Not a great sign when this game's only PR efforts gets a few hundred views -- the last few videos haven't even crossed 700 views 😕 

 

It's almost like people have given up on watching these videos because they know it won't be especially relevant or answer any real questions. Wouldn't be a huge deal if NQ engaged in other ways, but they don't.

 

Their weekly "video" is really the only effort they make in talking at their customers.

The building height limit of 1000 meters was new..

Kind of important to know, why was this change never properly announced?

 

To me this is a very welcome and agreeable, change, especially as it wil kill the towers post wipe but first time I hear of it

Yeh it’s a good change, they havnt said what will happen to existing towers…. But then we all know there’s gonna be a wipe, so I guess that will sort it.

That was cool, not only did you cover some of my questions but you even kept in the exact wording. Really interesting to hear a little bit about the maintenance side of things too. Also that ship you are flying looks really nice, sort of a space catamaran style. Looking forward to next week. Cheers!

Well, that is what happens when you hide a video from the YT algorithm by keeping it unlisted, preventing it from being seen by anyone outside of the people you target specifically. When that audience is as small as is the case here, you get just a few hundred views ..

 

The decision to publish unlisted seems .. odd ..

Or intentional... At least they are getting a realistic number of those players that are still interacting beyond the actual player numbers they can see in game.

This is the thing, 2 of my biggest bug bears were the markets, parking, over populated, and the towers.  It's taken time - as things do - but it has been addressed and it's a very much welcomed change.  At least now you know you can fly 1000m up to a market and not worry.  there should also be a wider buffer at the markets, 5 km limit for tiles to 500m height.  It's the price you pay for wanting to love so close to a game asset.

You should see their twitter "feed"... LOL.   It's sparser Engineers' Date night at university (apparently... O_o).
