1) Agreed
2) Agreed
3) A bit lazy don't you think?

Also I think it would be good to see who you trade with, even purely for logging/tracing purposes. Not critical for me personally though.

This.

Maybe take your time and choose your skills wisely? Do people like you deliberately go out to give NeX a bad name or what?

Except it doesn't remember the terminal settings and re-loads the squad window when I re-dock.

I don't mind if the two are treated separately, but it would be nice if it was consistent

Excellent. Very engrossing

I'm interested in submitting some fan-fic of my own, once I study up on the existing lore.

On a side-note, if/when we have "walking in terminals" or something along those lines, I want a little mecha-pal. Hell, make it a vanity MT

I concur. Risk is the point. If you are on a Beta island you should have people with you or a sufficiently equipped bot to survive.

There were always such threads in the EVE forums, wanting to reduce/eliminate risk or make the game practically play itself. Sad to see them start here.

Then don't mine. Leave it to those who enjoy it and don't want it dumbed down

To clarify my position a bit.

I think that the respective professions should have corresponding assignments associated to them. Also I personally think that each corporation should have its standing broken into the respective divisions.

So for instance someone who grinds in PvE combat doesn't get a refine bonus and those that mine don't get a repair bonus etc.

As for the "coin" system, I'm somewhat conflicted. I see that as something which is harvestable and exploitable. Relations should be rewarded to those that put in the actual effort, not purchasable.

Yes I'll happily admit that I am rather new and only basing my opinion from my current experience. However, from what I see there is a big difference between the Industry and Combat assignments as far as remuneration goes. I haven't done Logistics myself but I hear that is somewhat unbalanced.

I personally wasn't implying that combat characters have it "better" at all, only that the assignment rewards are bigger "in the hand" from what I've seen while Industrial assignment really reward you later.

If you could buy relation, I wouldn't be playing the game. I'm sure you were just being sarcastic.

I agree. In real life terms a month-by-month subscription to Perpetuum is the cost of ~2 cups of coffee. If someone cannot afford that, I personally wonder how they can afford their computer, the electricity to run it or Internet access.

So what next, people have to refine a whole bunch to get the refine discount too?

Manufacturing assignments would be good but I'm personally happy with the way things are.

There is far more involved in industry than simply arming your bot and shooting ***. Equivalent level assignments give more cash and standing to PvE over industry. For an equal amount of missions, I had to grind easily twice as hard on my indy character to get to level 1 assignments than I had to for my combat character.
