Can't you imagine how many beacons I've lost because I dropped one which needed 3 ppl to activate?

Srsly eighter use normal math or RENAME freaking extensions so they would tell the truth!!!!!

Accelerated target locking:
"Each level of this extension reduces the target locking time by an additional 5%."

Well for regular player it means: #locking time# = #base locking time#*(1-*#level#*#bonus#)

With my current extensions it's : 12,5*(1-10*0,05) = 12,5*0,5 = 6,25 sec

Ok, but maybe I'm dumb and I don't understand english language.
"Additional" == extra, additive (http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/additional/)
but hey you can't trust ze internetz, so lets try geometric series. Why geometric?
Maybe because it's like base (a0) is 12,5 sec and each time you level up the extension this base is multiplied by 0,95 (1 - 0,05), so:
a0 = 12,5
q = 0,05
n-th part of geometric series will be a_n = a0 * q^n in our case it'll be:
#locking time# = #base locking time#*(1 - #extension bonus#)^#level#
when n = 10 (which is maxed level of accelerated target locking)
n10 = 12,5*(0,05^10) = 7,48421174 sec

Cool, but it still isn't 8,33 sec which I currently see in my mesmer's specs!!!!

WHAT THE ***!?

Seriously make those descriptions understandable for *** like me, because I clearly must be mentally disabled since I can't count and read properly, even with a help of various dictionaries.

I would like to suggest a little change when it comes to deployment of various things such as beacons, containers and other crap you drop (and later on scream like a mofo that it's wrong item or it's in a wrong place).

Add option to drop the thing (you want to deploy) and then use it (like distress beacons) if you want to deploy/activate it.
"Dan, are you *** high!? That's nothing new!"
Well new thing would be an option to take this thing back to your cargo if you feel like it, but only, before you deploy/activate it.

Allow us to research what we want, but you really want to keep is at least a little bit complicated you could use something like that:

+ find new technology  - this would work like current research which would randomly research stuff and it would unlock tech you can research later on
+ analyse known tech  - this would show you the list of known technologies which you could research using selected kernels (and it would show you how much % you would get)

That would also prevent losing kernels when you don't have enough to get tech up

It's all about play, not work. If some ppl have no RL that might be ok for them, kinda thats their problems and stuff. Most players, however, have not that much free time. ATM this game is already close to not worth spending time on it, and if it will be more and more complicated, then ppl will simply leave it to that little group of 24/7 players, that's it.

As I said ATG long time ago. If you don't have enough players to do *** properly, maybe you shouldn't be there.

And don't tell me that bs "Who we gonna recruit when the population is low?". Well invest some of your time in helping newbies which the join the game, show them fun aspects of perp etc. OR STAY ON GOD DAMN ALPHA!

Your gamma tp connection map looks interesting, inserting one island to create a space between gateways islands may be nice. I wouldn't bring back Alpha-1 triangle.

PvE:
Instances? No way! Switching roaming spawns to some sort of NPC fleets/caravanas with 20+ npcs with elite (ie. vanguard) or even observer leaders would be interesting (chance of t2+, t3- and with extrame luck t4+ mods drop) also increase number of spawns which roam at the same time.

Boost (greatly) rewards from gamma artifact sites. Scientific level 3 and no CT, not even *** one, thats harsh hmm

Rewards (difficulty) could also increase with range how far (how many jumps) the island is from nearest Alpha/Beta. So ninjas wouldn't get same benefits by just teleporting next to beta and enjoy same rewards with lesser risk.

Interzone teleports range reduced.

It's all, atm, I'll be back cool

I think we already hinted at places that after gamma is out ... we'll be working on PvE content.

Land, land and more land. At least double the current alpha/beta land for starters. In a recent post of mine, Zoom, you said that the DEV Team didn't feel the game needed more land at this time. I disagree strongly.

More Alpha means a balance can be struck between PvE and Industry on different islands for "carebears" (the subject of this topic and important given the new dynamic ore fields).

More Beta (in particular outposts) the more realistic new corporations ambitions to get a foothold there - especially if accompanied by a new stability mechanic which makes it harder to take an outpost the more you already own.
