Yea...its not like the Dev's are not changing missions. And its not like we dont support it fully. And were apparently not looking forward to the patch.
Just because the DEVs are working on other mechanics doesnt mean discussion about other parts of the game has to stop.
@ THE DEVS

I wish the game had the problem of a 30 man noob fleet attacking a Beta.
same 
So a novel idea occurred to me. Instead of listening to all the vets who spend so much time with this game and totally know exactly whats wrong with it without playing it. How bout we ask the people who are important: The people we hope to get on steam launch.
In all honesty, the vets don't matter. We are not whats going to save this game. The influx of new players who come with steam launch are going to be what saves this game. So instead of asking people who don't play, what mechanics they like and don't like, how about we ask the new players what they think?
um yeah vets dont know anything
its not like some of us have been in corps that once had 600+ members & seen 90% of those ppl give up on this game after 3-4 month of playing
yeah totally wouldnt have a clue 
Hehe. Its all fun and games.
till some one loses an argano
then its WAR
+1
should this be an auto feature or something?
as you wish....
*sends 20 Nic*

you dong
E woot finally one thats not censored
im building / modifying my self a massive battleship atm 
ill post some pics after work
This whole spark issue to me, is only a problem, with current population and political climate. And there is no point in tailoring critical game mechanics to this current population and climate.
Actually a larger population i think would make the arguments put forth in this thread even more valid, since with greater population this mechanic & style of play would be used even more & you could also assume that with a better more well stocked market being able to just "grab" a bot fast would be easier to do.
are sucking. Terrible and will never do anything.... Quickly turning into STC bashing YAY!
Let me have some fun forum PVP is the only PVP i get in this game 
<3
i pick coherence.... since this is what any group of players lacks
you will give me all your Nic *Waves hand*
You never won anything. You just moved in to a vacant lot.
STC has always had a hard time winning against a competent enemy when facing even numbers. during CIR's last little stint in this game showed that many times.
But lets be honest this game hasnt had a proper war in a LONG time (years). Cant really blame some ppl for getting rusty...
Small Gang PvP is dead in both games. Its not caused by sparks or clone jumping.
Small gang PVP is dead now due to 2-3 things ive noticed...
Small gang PVP never seemed to recover after Walls 1.0
More people preferring to live on a heavily fortified Gamma Base than the more risky life of a Beta.
And in the end Game Population has a massive impact.

AFTER SPARKS, all you need is to do is click one button, blob in, defend, and leave. No investment, no using the terminal, ghost town.
The investment is to have enough equipped robots ready at all times at all the outposts you intend to keep.
Never forget that for a Veteran Player Zoom getting insane amounts of bots & mods isnt that hard... Is even easier if your in a commie corp.

I find it funny that the guy who never plays is telling us how it is. please continue with you sharing your infinite wisdom
Hey this game changes so little you can take a 6-12 month break & come back to mostly the same sh*t Also i still actively follow whats going on in game still .. well kinda
but hey if you want to argue the person & not the idea go for it
You are right tho Spark TPing isnt the sole problem with power projection... have a proper enemy to push back against another faction influence solves alot of problems.
Every single person says driving anywhere blows, no one want to have to drive everywhere all the time.
P.S. Won't someone think of the children?
I agree it does blow & the current Tp network needs to be tweaked. I think the big issue is more with the Alpha <> Alpha connections.

some ideas i threw together on MS paint lol

I think that is a better video concerning this game
yeah i seen a few of his video's some very cool designs
BPO ?
what r we playing EVE now ?
Homie I am stealing that quote.
sure i think Gandhi said it
Let me help you out with some ideas
The CEO of a corp can create a Conglomerate & the creator Corp's CEO is Conglomerate President
The President & directors of a Conglomerate invite corp to Conglomerate
The President of a Conglomerate wants to give his position away then he can give it to another member corp CEO
The directors of a corp that's CEO is President of the Conglomerate also have kick rights or what ever else this mechanic can do.
you could add a new "tab" to the corporation management window for Conglomerates that list each corp & who the executor corp is.
right clicking any corp would give you the options to:
Remove
Set as Executor
Have a text box for: invite corp to Conglomerate
And or allow invites to be a "right clickable" option on a corporations info window.
^^ that would be the basics i can think of atm. or perhaps you could give Conglomerates their own New button which would allow i guess for future expansion of the feature.
I have some ideas on what those features could be that have been kicking around my head for the last 2 years lol.
but I think ill need some sleep & Ms word
Now we get back to the point that spark teleportation isn't the mechanic holding players back from living on beta, very bad argument for nerf.. but keep trying.
Just like to point out that In no place have I said (incase your refering to me ) Spark TPing is holding back Beta islands Those have WAY to many issues effecting them lol

20-24 Hours for Beta / Gamma^^ This is absolutely insane. You want to limit the play time that people have in a game that they are paying to play? 24 hours for a gamma spark? STC has leveled the defenses of an entire gamma island in less that 24 hours, and you want to make it so players cant spark in and defend there own gamma for a full day because they sparked there once last night, and now have to wait another 12 hours to go defend it?
What happens to the poor soul who sparks into a station with no assets? They get to walk with an arkhe for 2 hours to back to a station that sells teles?
Dude the times i gave are for the sake of argument but im sorry ill say that next time so you dont get upset.
Perhaps add a home recall option or maybe just maybe ..... move your respawn back to your Gamma base???
Have you never played?? if not then i can understand your knee jerk reaction of " OMG NO NO f*** NO WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN" post.
Can we have these please
For those of you who dont know conglomerates are Perpetuum's version of Alliances.
I know the mechanic for them are still in Game (confirmed by Gargaj) & even if they for now or the future it serves no real purpose it would still be a nice little feature to have. Maybe even enable an (optional) Channel for conglomerate chat.
For just $10 a Month you to can feed a Hungarian Dev!

I find it highly amusing that when 62nd/CIR/Chaos/PHM were winning fights on Dom they didn't say one word about any of this, the sparks system didn't seem to be broken them did it? But now, all of a sudden, there back-up is no where to be seen, and its a now major problem.
Actually some of us did bring up how sparks with no timers was a bad idea back when the dev blog came out.
But i personally no longer care enough to go find my Posts about it.
i will however say this, the way the Current spark system works (just to be clear i like spark Telleporting always have, i just have never liked no timer) seems to conflict with the TP network redesign.
The reason why so many people way back when asked for a redesign was the old layout made the world unworkable small. I dont think the way the current network & HWYs are layout is a good design I still think is was a move in the right direction. (starter islands should have kept the old TP "triangle")
The Aim of many people that supported a TP redesign was to spread out the world a bit to make power Projection Harder for Alliances.
Unlimited spark TPing Brakes this line of thinking. I could state why but a number of people have already brought up the Cons.
This is how i would have preferred the whole Spark System to be designed:
Re-spawn Spark (the place where you respawn after death): could only set Your home station once every 24hours
Spark Telleporting:
30-60Min for any Alpha 1 island
6-8Hours for any Alpha 2 island
20-24 Hours for Beta / Gamma
This would highlight the importance of choosing when to TP to sparks on PVP islands yet leave alpha with shorter timers for trade & other things. Sure PVPers can still use Alpha but it makes non stop TPing around the whole game a bit harder & rewards smart thinkers.
The way this System currently works might be ok with a Very small number of players but it will scale very badly if that number ever increases.
