Well, it was all fun, its not like I am complaining. But these game mechanics as you call them or better to say - lack of them - is not something that people have to rely on while PvP. Like I said, the perfect scenario for this, since corp owns the outpost after all - you kill the griefers - you protected your outpost, greifers respawn at their bases - you regroup at your outpost and get ready for another attack.

Once again, imagine a resurrection point in MMO, or ok, example LOTRO - Ettenmoors. You are defeated you go to resurrection point. A lot of times creeps were griefing at spawn points to prevent freeps from leaving the resurrection point, same did the freeps, but imagine how much worse would it be if neither freeps nor creeps had to run back all the way across the Ettenmoors from their outposts but would respawn right there where they just standed. That ganking/griefing would never stop and next day forums would blow up from both freep and creep sides complaining about stupid game mechanics.

Do I really have to explain why respawn at the base that you grief at is wrong? Come on, you have common sense don't you?

I was just having fun, was my first night PvP and I was actually shocked seeing that they just kept respawning right there with new arkhes... I was like - "LOL, Really? What kind of broken game is this?" if this is not fixed some time later it may be one of the deciding factors for my 3 accounts to not renew. There is simply no point to play PO if you are free to piss people off and just grief their balls all night at THEIR OWN OUTPOST.. LOL

I gotta try this tonight with a few other people.

There are already bonuses to manufacturing, tier II and III stations available in those outposts. The only problem I see is endless starter arkhes griefers super potatoes. I gotta get a few guys tonight and go let other people feel the grief in their outposts so that they can come to forums and post how bad griefing is lol .

But doesn't having open to everyone outposts allow griefing exploits and kinda defeats the purpose of actually owning the outpost? I mean there is already not much of a reason to own the outpost other than prestige. How can making PvP more organized will create much more problems? I mean at this point enemy corp doesn't really need to take outpost away from you, they can just sit in their own and gank you at your own outpost by making it their spawn base. Arkhes are free, you die - you respawn at the same outpost, jump into free arkhe, equip free guns and bullets and continue ganking... I see little logic in this. Me hopes you devs will review this and maybe find it logical to restrict access to owning corp members until the other corp takes that outpost away from you. Kinda makes sense, doesn't it?

yeah don't make it too easy. What makes a game fun is that you have to research whats profitable or not. If you already know everything because someone told you then fun of researching the market - is gone.

Franko, sorry but you are wrong. I see your point, but if you look at your perspective from a simplified different angle I see you saying something like

"What the heck? That guy started to play early and he has more money than me. UNFAIR!"

You have to understand that this type of game, there will always be people who have more money and people who have less, big corps will have the most wealthy industrialists and possibly toughest PvP equipment and playerbase.

Don't be too worried though. Think about this:

Bob from M2S first created a big booboo and posted it on market for 1mil. Not many people want to spend millions so early in game because at least the smart ones know that prices very soon will be much cheaper. So nobody will by his booboo for 1mil because more crafters come in and every day they post their own booboos for 800K, 780K, 770K, 750K etc etc.

Then you come, you post your 2 BooBoos for 500K each and almost immediately it is sold. While Bob from M2S who got his hands on ores and CTs first still waiting for his booboo to sell for 1mil, you already sold your 2. Yes you made twice less money, but prices will continue to adjust and his booboo will eventually just return to his private storage and he will be forced to put it on market even after you already sold yours, so you in the end make more money than the people you are so concerned about.

It just seems to me that your ego and slight form of jelousy is blinding your common sense and understanding of how MMO markets change in the first 2-3 weeks after release.

Just keep doing your part man, follow your goals. Try to get over the feeling that there is someone richer than you. And definitely don't try to demand some kind of a "fair resolution" to what in your opinion is a problem, which is not. Just play the game man, if you think about things too much you'll lose the interest and eventually will only hurt yourself since Bob definitely doesn't care if you play PO or not or if you rage quit thinking that world is so unfair to you. Play the game man, plan your steps and be patient. Patience is a virtue in games like this with time based progression.

Nobody will be behind. Even a person who will come to the game 3 months for now still will be able to have their share on the market after going through this R&D process. Yes people who play now will have an advantage of milking a lot of money from developing, but when prices on the market balance it will be easy to make enough to have everything you need, because prices will be balanced and you will profit and invest based on THOSE prices. it will be the same like in EVE.

People who played PO from start will have an advantage appropriate to the time difference between when they started and someone else new will start whenever they come. But you shouldn't really compare your wealth to someone else's wealth. You should be looking at your own profit through the glass of current prices on the market. Like if someone have millions in profits already yeah it will be a cake for them later on when they accumulate and become billionaires.

But thats the beauty of sandbox games. You have more experienced, you invested more time and you were one of the "founders" of the game, so you really deserve to swim in money pools. BTW - I don't even have a mil, so don't think i am trying to defend my own wealth lol .

On the other note - a lot of stuff on market - means things get cheaper and wars become more fun .

Well those robots ARE micromachines. Thats as much as humans were able to develop so far. here is some lore fragment that explains it:

So it makes sense that we are just driving these little robots on an alien planet. Basically this is how it is, you sit in your chair at home and playing the game which actually takes place on Nia, except that there is no wormhole above our planet anywhere and its not 22nd century yet .

BUT, Lore in my opinion has a lot of holes. And lore itself is fine, but the game unfortunately doesn't grasp your imagination as much as lore does. I hope amateurs playerbase will catch up like it did in EVE and eventually PO will have its own magazine, their own print studio, voulnteer writers etc. What devs need to do now is work on game promotion.

I just read this:

[21:46:04] <Kurono> why environment in station became holografic, detailed it was better, is any way to change it mb in options in future?
[21:46:58] <DEV BoyC> kurono we wanted distinct displays for each station and simply didn't have the capacity to produce a unique view for each of them

It doesn't sound like they are going to do anything any time soon to introduce new terminal/outpost interiors. To have more capacity they would need to hire another Dev like Zoom and it sounds like there is not enough budget at this point. Thats pretty sad, concidering that if this is not done soon after release it will become secondary, tetriary etc not important in other words and will never be changed. .
