but also will need a increase in officer drop chance then...

+ bots that you can buy there too...

Just say no to an increase in drop rate........

That makes the t4+ mods just too common... They should come from escalated beacons only.

Please consider it.

Remote islands promote self-sufficiency and inhibit trade (in particular, raw material trade).
Makes no sense for a game that's built around virtual economy.

Counterpoint: Eve

Jumpfreighter is where? Rorquall is where? I knew someone would bring an irrelevant EVE comparison...

Inter-Island Teleport is where???

As Anni said inter island TP is one way however I do not think that someone should be able to get to a gamma island at all from ANY alpha.

It all goes back to Risk vs Reward. Why would someone bother to do much of anything significant with terraforming or pbs when they are just a teleport away from every alpha based corp that wants to go roam about? Having to go through beta 2 to get to a gamma island means that an attacker has to risk their force to even attempt to damage some pbs structure. No access from alpha also means that a corp that wishes to "own" a gamma island must either risk doing all of their industry(mining and production) on gamma or run logistics to and from alpha for supplies. The gamma owner must take a RISK either way to enjoy the reward of terraforming and pbs.

Having gamma islands attached to alpha gives us nothing more then we have now with beta islands except you get to rearrange the dirt.....

I assume that Gamma islands are not the lands of milk and honey.... why should they NOT be a connection to alpha, when you need to go the the third gamma island away from alpha, to get what is only availiable there?

The risk of Gamma seems to be the lack of docking possibilities and lack of infrastructure and well... the lack of static minin spots that you can just build a wall around.

The only reason that one would want them connected to alpha was so all the alpha bears could play with the new features... Bad reason. It encourages the same crap we have now with beta islands. At the slightest threat just pull a single jump away to alpha.... Without isolating gamma there is no reason to stay there and develop it when any random player can just make a single jump to safety or the residents of said gammas don't have to actually occupy the island to defend it... Just call them beta 3 islands.......

Keep in mind, that these are going to be frontier Islands, with no outposts to dock up and change fits on, or to store goods in, no markets to buy charges or wall segments. No safe harbors. No place to set your home to if you die.

There isn't going to be anyone 'living' out on gamma until they get an outpost built.

Thats the risk!

Think about how the real frontiersman did it-- Conestoga Wagons!!!!!!! Well in our case we can call them Conestoga Scarabs!

You should only be able to access them from beta 2 islands.

No direct access from any alpha.

I think access routes or pipes if you want to call them need to be natural. So in that case, I would guess a natural direct route or pipe from Alpha to Gamma could and would occur.

I would not force all traffic to Gamma islands through Beta islands.

The routes currently in game are so predictable, I would hate to see this be repeated.

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.

This isn't Eve so stop comparing the two!

Fact 4:

They make creams to sooth your butthurt....








Seriously..... Be thankful that the Devs saw fit to reimburse you anything instead of waiting days to get a canned answer of no. The Dev and GM team in this game are leaps and bounds ahead of any other game I have played in regards to community relations...
