getting weird errors when i try to terraform.
and without it it makes setting up the well tower difficult

bzw. are theses changes serious?

Missile turret needs 75 AP per shot
Repair node now repairs 18000hp (at last thats what the info tells us)

test server down atm?

nothing happens after my "connecting..." bar is full.

and yes i reinstalled the test client freshly.

that is a intresting idea to make random teams...

you could even make more then 2 teams when you have enough ppl in the event... lets say 6ppl are one team... the number of teams increase with the number of players...

well there is no greek corp as far as i know of.

other eu corps that may fit your intrests may be:

m2s  (eng)
f-navy (fr)
remedy (ger)
dream (rus)

try contacting these corps if you have intrest.

T(X)P = prototype (for istustry use. mostly too expensive for fitting)
T(X)+ = special with better stats. only gained from officer drops (very rare)
T3- = special from artifact scanning or officers

just stick with the normal tiers for the beginning. the rest comes later.

the game mechanic allows joining as trial. if the corps will let you join as trial depends on them.

first: everything you will fit will depend on your skills. when you have better skills then you will be able to fit your bot more efficiently and of cource everything will run better.

get yourself a assault bot asap... light bots are not realy good in killing npcs...

what you need first: extentions that you can fit everything correctly. so cpu and reactor will be your first problem.
second you will need to be accu stable so your guns and your reps will keep running. this is not eve and in most cases you will not be able to just activate your armor rep and let it keep running. thats why most ppl tank npcs by range (what is a bit harder for blue bots at the beginning).

what you need:

high slots:
1x sensor amplifier
rest damage tunings
maybe range extenders if you want to tank on range (mostly with mechs ... needs too much fitting for smaller bots)

med slots:
em guns (forget about the missile slots)

low slots:
variant 1: armor tank: (slow)
1x armor repairer
hardener depending on npcs
armor plate (for more hitpoints, but makes you slow)

variant 2: range tank: (speed)
1x armor repper
lightweight frame (makes you faster but lowers your hitpoints)
hardener
(maybe accu extender if you have problems and the room to fit it, what you most likely will not have)

that should be enough for the beginning.

if you have problems with your fittings:
t1 = standard stuff
t2 = same stats as t1 but lighter (makes you faster), less fiiting requirements (reactor, cpu), and less accu
t3,t4 = better stuff, harder to fit, more accu

yea but in pvp the stuff only gets blown up. somewhere the stuff has to come from. and that is pve and mining... ^^

will be exploited for sure. so im not sure if this is a god idea. there will always be some as****** that have minority complexes and see their fun in inviting noobs on alpha and then just kill them before they know what happned. so im not sure if this is a good idea.

maybe this will work if the other person has to agree and set another flag so teammates can shoot him without flagging for pve.

i think this was discussed at other places not too long ago.

this game needs more players or more players will leave. and as we have said before, most ppl come for a pve game. a game that is only there for pvp will most likely stay small and die a lonesome death.
yes i want pbs and gamma as wel and a lot of it, but to keep the game running and growing we need a good pve system.

wenn i compare so STeve they have it more easy here because they can generate a few "missions" and just let them spwan at any space location for the players. with a "2d" word this will be hard to do. that would require a enourmous large word with tons of mission areas. then i think only a mission spot will be boring.
what i think is that we will need instanced missions. with teleporters that biring you to relativ small islands with objectivs on them that can be done one way or another. you can take one route to shoot shrough the middle or a sneaky part around or... or ... or...
just give the ppl some intresting stuff to do. thinds that are rewarding, things that are worth doing solo, things that are worth doing in a group.

this will be way more work then justa few texted an mission spots. but i think such things will make the game more intresting and will keep ppl intrested for much longer time.

another thing (a bit offtopic)
the think with the wall patch is that i even saw a decrease on beta activity and with that a decrease at pvp. why? because quite a few ppl used the walls to get a "save zone" where they could use "their home island" for pve or other activity that was not pvp related. of cource when you wnat to do that you dont want to be killed every half an hour.
now with the radius of walls reduced to 3000m there is no was to keep such a "save zone" so ppl who wanted to do their thing there just left for alpha or even worse left for good or took a break of the game... so even less targets for everybody how complained about these walls, and even less ppl in the game. sad but true...

yes and yes.
you will have to do that. if you are a solo player then forget about gamma and stay on alpha... but that discussion is worong in this thread. gamma is for team players of corps and alliances. its for high end content. for terra forimg and building and holding your own stuff. if you ask why? its a game and a sandbox. we do it beacuse we like it.
if you dont like it - do something else.

there is much to learn and the tutorilas can only teach you the basics. even this forum will be way to small for all your questions that you have and even more for the answers for them. it is a complex game and thats one of the things a lot of ppl like. and besides that there is not always the thing "you have to do it this way". there are often more then one way to do things.

of cource there is combat in pvp and pve, or supporter roles. but there is also the industrial part with mining, processing, research and production. each of this is a hole area for itself. and most ppl who a re in this game for a few months and want do do different things at the same time have 2 or more accounts for that purpuse.

i would suggest that you look yourself for a corp. there are plenty out there who are willing to help you to get into the game. and voicecoms help a lot more then have to type all the stuff here.
there are corps in the most languages and time zones. so just check around in the recruitment forums or try the channels ingame. im sure this will help you a lot.

and welcome to the game.

the idea is nice and not realy difficult to do with your skills.

the bigger problem is to hold the matches and keep track of them. because you can not automate that like in a fps. for that you would need a ingame arena that works on its own with outo tracking. nad that would be a lot of work for the devs.
