I thought PO is already tagged as "PvP niche game". If some reviewer would spend in a game say a week instead of 2-3 days review session they would notice that there is nothing on PvE side but pure grind, in its most evil form. And PvP side is quite disorganized.

I think Avatar wasn't really prepared for the game launch, it feels that it was sort of a sudden release for them . They are trying to do things as fast as they can but it feels like too much stuff fallen into their lap and they are having trouble sorting it out.

There is only a few of them and they have some much to do I feel sorry for them to be honest.

They need to find solution for lag - potentially move the server or introduce another one somewhere in central europe or US
They need to fix bugs
They need to polish the graphics engine so that people with slower PCs could actually run the game
They need to work on a new content as much as possible since game needs new content very soon
In team of 10 people thats gonna be really hard

But I wish them all the best, hopefully they can hire couple more coders soon and get additional help...

I know what some people mean. Yeah they pretty easy obtainable hauling ships in EVE and better ones cost more of course. But, you do have Laird and Argona, they have 7.5AU instead of 3.75 combat ones. Sequer is the one bot that all the miners, haulers, industrialists want to have eventually. If you do assignments you can grind enough money to get Sequer for about 2.2 mil in about 20-24 hours if they are available on market. It took me about 6 hours with 3 accounts by using laird and 2 argonas going circle Dardden, New Virginia, Attalica(?) and taking 2 transport assignments each. I hate making money this way but this is a good way for beginners other than farm kernels and sell them on market. You also get a buttload of all kinds of ammo while grinding for money and different standing.

make sure you have at least lvl 6 Diplomacy, otherwise your standing will grow very slowly since missions that you take at one terminal may decrease standing from factions at another terminal, with high diplomacy and Logistic Specialization though you will be getting more money from each assignment and your penalty for doing assignments for opposite factions will be less noticeable.

Avatar Creations may still be...

It can actually be a fully grown plant and have only 1 minable unit in it because someone already sucked all the life out of it. So yeah, plants don't degrade visually while being mined nor do the mining nodes change color, it can be a red node and be empty if someone mined everythign out of it. If new plants grwing after seeding can actually change the look based on how *** their are I think that devs could revert that process in real time to show us visual change while we harvest/mine.

We do have a landmark information that shows how many units left in plant. I've heard its better to leave at least 1 unit in plants and then they recover sooner otherwise it probably may take up to 24-48 hours for a helioptris plant to recover to 50-70 units if it has to grow from scratch. I may be wrong though, this is what i think based on my observations and what I read/hear.

Managed dedicated servers is where you want to go on their website. Here is their pricing page:

I've had a few tiems when I accidentally clicked 'select all' but cought it on time. I think thats what happened to you and you just destroyed all your items accidentally. When they are all selected sometimes you can't really tell the difference. I think they need to make the selection layer sorta reddish so that you can tell the difference for sure between when item is selected and when its not. At this point its not much of a difference in how it looks selected and not selected.

This bug is related to pocket loss. There are times when connection between server and client is lost which shows as pocket loss. If you deploy container during that short time frame when people experience rubberbending and 'follow-stop' - your container is as good as gone. Thats my take on this problem. They really need to fix the issues, but being based in Hungary I start to fear for games future. If they had resources to move server to a central Europe at least - it would have been much better for many of us.

You owe me a new keyboard Mess, cause mine has tea sprayed all over it now.

Thanks, useful toy!

I've read somewhere that its better for your eyes if you look at the monitor either in straight line or at a slight angle 'down' at the monitor. When we look up we restrain our eyes for a longer period and they get tired sooner, but if your recliner makes you sit the way that you just look straight at the monitor since your recliner is at an angle then maybe its not that bad.
