Oh did I mention we kill each other?

Where exactly dont see it

I kinda of picture it, something like the Avatar movie

The concept for collecting energy is pretty much done, but we still need to work on what you get for it, and how we balance it for individual players and corporations.

re-reading through the old blogs about the EC system... hmmm most of the aspects are outdated, since mk2 mechs already released, gamma outposts already possible

and major fact: binding it to a ingame daytime to see the field is also problematic, even though most times i play its night (so there must be some that always plays when there is day on NIA - and that one would be pissed)

with the flawed tier system, the lack of differences in weapon system, or even the lack of personal character developement choices -> will the EC system turn into a must have to do feature, or an alternative to other features already ingame.

and aside of that, someone announced "colixium based" weapons and robots soon... I still wonder what they will be.

personally, im really looking forward to something like the EC system that implements a kind of PvE interaction based upon the backgroundstory, but its only a tiny little piece of a whole building that still has to be built. And according to zooms recent posts, they are still in the idea collection phase for PvE...
