PVE drops should never be more powerful then craftable items. It removes crafting and industry and replaces it with instance/PVE grinding-for-gear.


T2 fit is still the norm for EVE, officer fits are rare.

Well this all sucks then, i expected these so called commander drops to be on par with something like EVE's commander/officer drops, instead they barely compete with T4 crafted.

Also what about t5/t6 modules? The devblog said there would be new t5 and t6 modules, but all i've seen is people talk about t2+ etc, whatever that means.

the next test will be deploying beacons on beta to see if the loot tables are different. NPCs aren't different but perhaps their loot is?

As for T4+ I expect it to be rare. The T2+ stuff I don't expect to be rare but I didn't expect to get so much from a single Lithus.

Officers also are way too easy and are very anti-climatic.

Are they easier or harder than superior observer mechs? Superior observer heavy mechs?

Farmed for 1 to 2 hours today and got 6 beacons. 3 officer and 3 normal.
2 of the officer beacons escalated.

All of the officer NPC names were broken.
One officer dropped 13 T2+ items.
One officer dropped 1 T2+ item.
Three officers dropped nothing special.

No t5 or t6 then?

Out of eight level 3 infestations, none gave a beacon. Not even a normal beacon, i shudder to think how many will be needed to get a "star" beacon. 100 level 3 infestations?

Cool, thanks.

Will we have to delete any characters to take advantage of getting the EP penalty refunded, or is it simply going to be refunded automatically to everyone when the account reset change patch hits? Just want to make sure i don't screw this up.

Will it matter if I already have a trained character on the account? Will I still receive back the EP that is lost in the EP penalty pool?

It is planned for next week, yes.

Awesome.

It will come, yeah.

Go slash your own wrists.

A while ago it was said that the account reset system was being removed, and all EP penalty would be refunded. When is this supposed to happen?

800 mill isn't a lot, try having 10s of billions worth of research, plus billions in nic and assets.

I'm pretty sure Lucious can make them.

Also, there are others where I got mine from, but not sure if they want to be known.

I don't think he can, else they would be on the market.

You need Golden Indy kernels and then even at best the progress does almost stop before it's finished.
There may be an issue with the type of kernel you're researching though so it would be a good idea to tell us which type it was that you used a lot of and got nothing.

Currently there are people who have this researched and they did it MUCH faster than 1% a day..

Just an idea.

Golden mech and golden heavy mech.

Oh there we go, finally gained 1%, only took several weeks to get that gain, as opposed to the constant 1% i got here and there previously, but I should be done with this research in about 10 years at this new rate.

Cry moar.

You think this really bothers me? I play Perpetuum for about 10 minutes a week, and i will never mine, but the people who keep asking to buy T4 medium miners, I guess they're out of luck. Seems crappy though that it's because it seems some stealth change was made that stopped progress on this module from being made.

I've been slowly making progress through medium miner T4 for some months now. Well, until the last several weeks that is, i've had no gains to medium miner T4 for a long time. Something stinks imo, how can one go from getting 1% a day/every few days for 3 months straight and then suddenly the gains stop utterly and completely. I've been researching golden Hmech/mech kernals whenever possible, nothing has changed in my approach, the gains simply stopped happening.

You could say it's down to chance, but this doesn't seem like chance to me, slow yet consistant gains over a few months instantly turned to no gains over a few months, something doesn't add up, something was changed.

BTW, i would be happy to know that this world was even being worked on, as long as it's definetly coming in the future.

Persistent sandbox universe
Every player is part of one server, one scene, one storyline.

Using the term universe a bit liberally no? It makes it sound awesome, but then something feels wrong, it's remembering that the game is only made up of a small collection of islands. Universe? No, not even world, not even continent, just a few islands.

And there lies perpetuums biggest pitfall. Give us a real game world to play in, please! Maybe the islands could be kept, they could even be considered beginner areas, but this game needs a fully explorable world, not just a group of small inslands.

Was this not mentioned in any patch notes? I don't remember seeing it. Not that i'm bothered, i stopped farming observers long ago.

I just ask because they used to be in pairs, and now they're solo. Even the heavy mech observer has 1 less observer with him than before.

So observers are really hard now? How much on average was their range increased in the observer range buff patch?
