Honestly, i am highly believe that we are going to the MMO where major content: bots, modules, structures, terrain etc. will be created by the players. I want to see this game in a role of tool, what allows players to create sci-fi world they want. Currently all actions tied on creation of battle modules and machines.  I don't like that currently game is centralizing around combat, around destructive aspect of human nature, thats why imo it would be great to see more constructive aspects in this game: building of neutral cities, exploration, colonization and everything what will move destructive aspect to the half of the game. Then this game will have true ballance: 50% destructive vs 50% non-military content. This all is my little imo what mmo i want to see.

If you look at the actual benefits you gain from from leveling up skills there really isnt much!

so some have 5% more damage, or 6% more optimal range, maybe they can lock 0.3seconds faster,  battles in PO, as with most pvp games, are won and lost by circumstances and situation.

My first ever pvp experience in eve was vs a 3 year old character who was in a full t2 fitted rifter,  I was in a t1 fitted rifter too and only 2 weeks old.  But the fact I have a plate on and he didnt ensured me the win.

Of course, PO isnt the same as "lock - orbit - fire " (and yes I know eve isnt quite as basic as that too)  but terrain makes a hell of a difference,  and roaming mobs.

So it may seem like a big difference but you can be assured that after a month or so the difference narrows very quickly.

so just keep rolling with those transport missions and making as much money as you can possibly make... the economy will right itself

The trouble is that the particles need to be together to get entangled, you can't entangle at a distance.

yes, wine is free but to install it you need either your install dvd to pull in xcode, an apple developer license $99, and a java developer package which you can only get with said dev license. Hardly free.

With the up coming canister change, it may be possilbe to put the scan results into the contaner. You can do the scan and then share it from the corporate folder, which is highly inconvient to say the least.

I don't think we'll see anything where the results just directly show up on the terrain for all squad members though; or at least this would be a much bigger change than just allowing the scan into the field container.
