the reason why you dont need diffrent harvesting charges is because there is only one type of plant on a tile while there can be multible ores on a tile. so you need diffrent charges cause the miner would not know what mineral to extract. for the harvester it is clear that there is only the plant that stands on the tile. so no problem.

what you do is asking for a general increase in harvesting. i think that the harvesting ammount is ballenced with the rest so i dont see this comming.
on the other hand we can reduce the general harvesting amount by 10% and give you your special charges that gives you the same bonus again...
the only change will be that you have to have your diffrent charges. but no more gain. so the whine will be great again.

think of the big picture. not just what you want more.
the system is ballenced as it is. no harvesting bonus needed i think.

sorry but thats a
-1

this is not about when or how this es beeing implemented. its also not what else has to be done first.
of cource there are other things that this game needs way more urgent.

anyway, your argument that the existing races need more diversity is no argument in any way against this. it may be that this issue should be adressed first, yes...

its just an idea that stands in the room... thats all.

its not better as numbers and colors. in fact the numbers and colors are better. the only thing that is needed heaviely are more security levels. just as it was asked for in various other topics.

give us 10 security levels and all is fine...

well can be made quite simpler.
its called sight (radar) sharing when you are in a squad.

and you eaven have a good reason for it. interference! robats have interference. that is basicly comunication. so all bots communicate with each other. the more on one spot the more information. (yes i know the devs have a bit diffrent explanation) so why not share that data with the squad?

would be a nice feature...

well as i said. i see no problem that the shield tank is that powerfull. while the shield is active it can absorb a lot dps. and dps is not the answer to a shield. at least not when you dont have superior numbers.

i see the problem in the fast reaktivation of the shield. using the cyle time to just lower it for half a scond so that your enemy can not react to that. just set the module unactivatable for 10 seconds after it went down. that is no nerf of the shield tank. but its a nerf for ppl who hide behind shields and still want to shoot whithout the chance of retaliation. this has to be changed.

when we (remedy) shot at that icus in the tournament for 20mins i had no problem with that. that is a heavy shiled tank. and it can not kill anybody. same goes for the trojar. i saw no need for that "nerf". well the trojar still is good enough, and still very hard to shoot down with pure dps. as it should be in my opinion.

i only see a problem with shied down -> fire -> shield up. and all in half a second. add lag of the game plus a good reaction time of the player plus the next lag of the game and you have no chance to fire in that hole where you lower your shield so you can fire out. and exact that has to be possible. if you lower your shield you have to be vunrable. not for half a second or even shorter. it has to be for several seconds.

its not effective to farm for them. even on beta with a good spawn you can count yours4elf lucky if you have one or two t4 items. besides each bots loot table isnt that small. so its nearly impossible to farm for what you want.

the better way is to farm your stuff aby buy the better modules on the market. if thery are avalible...

i told you before...

you play a payed beta game. face it or leave it.

i still think the game has potential. but it will still take some time till it reaches the point that pokk has pointed out. ok im no 8 months in game. but hell why not take it slow. if you want to play 24/7 for months in this game then i can imagine that it will get boring. but if you play a little here and a little there then you can have your fun, and support a game that is not mainstream and most likely will one day be a good game.

my 5 cents

i can tell you for someone that is ingame for about 2 months that it is not a problem at all at beta.

of cource it will depend on what you wanna do.
there are very luctative ways even a noob with 1 week of skilling (or less) can do on beta.

if you want to kill npcs it will take a bit longer. around the time you can pilot a mech (3-4 weeks if you go straight that path) for group play. and even longer (2-3 months) if you can pilot a heavy mech for solo play.

but as i said there are other good things to do than killing npcs on beta.

finding a corp that will suit your needs schould be no problem.
there are corps for most languages on beta as well. eng, fr, ger, rus ... i dont know if there is spain ... well but you have to see...
if you need help with picking a corp that will be no problem at all. there is a forum part for that further below. you will need a subbed accout for it to post there ^^

agreed that 30 days is not a long time. im no seller in the big ways but i had that though too that this time is a bit short.

yes has been discussed before.
it is not that much a diffrence. more a variation of the cargo expander.

besinde your idea of 5-10% more cargo is of no big use.
what we would need it a double or tribble of the cargo volume. or even a destroyer mech transport with a lot more...

if you ever had a ore convoy then you know what we are talking about. 10% would not realy make a difference.

question to the tournament:
where is the "arena"?
how big is it?
how far appart will the teams be deployed.
how is the terrain? plain sight? buildings? hills?
