This is a good idea but after 1 months without a CEO people won't mind waiting 2 days to replace them than another month to replace them 24 hours faster.

24 hour timer for Deputies to take over is fair enough.
Members with HR roles should be able to start a countdown for non-deputy members to become CEOs but there should be a 7 day countdown on it.

All countdowns are halted if the CEO so much as logs in (So we don't want to have CEOs having to check the list and cancel each member one by one!)

But why specifically would one missile require higher extensions?
I don't believe this is inline with the other ammos or weapons. If it was more extensions for medium long range then that's fine but this is small missiles requiring different extensions.

I know chemical is a universal resistance hole but I am just wondering why level 5 (Which doesn't seem to fit inline with the other ammos)

The servers not been attacked (as badly) today so it's working much better but if you have any issues the devs are very nice and give back if things go really wrong or technically issues strike.

It's a nice idea but they should also be destroyable and on beta only and then we'll get the "The C**K of F**K happened here on the D**k of W**K"

Sandboxes and customisable content = Bad words.

It's a nice idea and a lot of players asked for a "News Reporting" tool in beta so that players could create news articles and the like. or Corporations could make blog entries about what they've been doing or winning with pointers on the map.

A feature for the future for sure.

Thanks for letting us know what's going on. It must be horrible seeing something you worked on getting attacked and while it's annoying to have these issues I'm sure as hell not going anywhere (Sorry to those that don't like me!)

I hope others will join me in wishing the devs luck in finding the root of this cause and also defending the game and our enjoyment from outside influences. Let's keep the drama between the internet robots, right?

Welcome!
Sorry I've not been around much. Work work work at the moment.

Test server for testing things would be more played on than the main server. That's my own real fear.

So what about terrain changes? Plant changes? You can't be telling me that the entire game runs in memory and that the terrain (Which can change dynamically) changed only changes in memory etc..

I can't see how the main game resource is only written to at two events. What if there is a change and you don't dock?

Weapons used to do a sort of area threat when used but this is no longer the case. No even remote sensor amping generate more area threat than infinite amounts of damage. So RR guys will take the entire spawn aggro while the DPS have to take an NPC each.

Group farming is now crazy easy and no single target has all the aggro if you have enough DPS guys. Yet again the little guy on his own is punished while 4 accounts (Not people) can farm any spawn they like with a single RR guy.

This is where Perpetuum need armour types. We have "Elemental" resistances but we don't have armour levels.

Light, Medium, Heavy, Fortified (More later if needed). The idea being if one weapon type attacks a different armour type the damage is either reduced or the chance it miss is increased. This way buildings could be given Fortified armour which reduces the damage it takes from heavy weapons by 25%, medium weapons by a further 25% and lights by a further 25%. Then to counter this accuracy of larger weapons needs to be modified so that medium weapons vs lights is reduced 25% etc.. Not to say this idea doesn't have down sides but at the moment with current game mechanics I am not looking forward to larger robots or structures. The current mechanic is to give crazy high resistances and increase armour amounts meaning that larger robots have to do more and more crazy amounts of damage and we've essentially lost the use of light robots or new players. They have no objectives in fleet combat other than to stay as far away from the trained elite PVPers.

The game just isn't ready for more armour amounts and more super weapons..

For this to work you also have to limit who can place probes as well as allowing the CEO to remotely destroy a probe.

You're also taking them away from freelance and new players but that's a fair. It's about time that corporations had their own extensions and upgrading them was a matter of NIC and resources/tokens/stuff to upgrade them.

If you're going to make CEO specific extensions for future corporation systems make them corporate based so hat changing in structure only effects future progression and does not cause further regression.
