Kinda surprised by the attacks on the whole idea of PBS.

Perp was better without walls, beacons and gamma. We don't want minecraft

I remember reading many threads and posts complaining that PBS had not been delivered. It seemed the whole playerbase wanted it. Walls were initially sold as the first permanent structures in the PBS system. Probes were not only part of PBS calls but also calls to give the players something beside arkhe gate scouts.

Complain to the devs for implementing things slowly and unbalanced and incomplete, but damn, the people in this game asked for PBS. It's sad to see the whole idea attacked as a mistake.

Population, though ...more than sad, it's depressing

Spark teleporting

I'd actually like to see this essentially unrestricted to start. We can speculate all day on how players will use (abuse) it. It could liven things up on the PvP front with quicker response to engagements AND liven up the market. Sparks without supplies are useless and hauling gear all over the map is a massive snore. I'd rather buy bots and supplies directly from market than haul them around during 'off hours'. This gives marketeers an opportunity to seed different markets and speculate on hot spots, perhaps.

2 cents

Hell no! If anything, more mods not less. And there are plenty of circumstances where lwf is not used for PvP. This is not the universal Navigation Skill.

Will happily support this and drag all my friends kicking and screaming to support as well.

Good Luck to your new group

A few days and you spill all that ***?

Walls 2.0

I've not played a single minute on Gamma since release, but I suppose I saw this coming MONTHS ago. I don't even need to see a single defensive set-up to know the issue. It should have been totally foreseeable (by the Devs and anyone) that Terraforming would be used, like walls, to manipulate the passable terrain of an ENTIRE island to the full advantage of the owners, not just constructing bases. What more obvious way to do this than by Terraforming around teleport chokepoints?

I know this issue was raised by others and myself long ago but there did not seem to be any concern that Terraforming around Teleports would be issue. So, it seemed that would be perfectly acceptable. I could dig up the posts if I cared, but I really don't anymore.

I guess what may be obvious to some is not obvious to the Devs. I feel for the guys who spent all those man-hours. NIC is measurable and can be re-imbursed somewhat accurately. But the man hours ...GONE!

I'll not be like some ass-hats in the past who have said things like "you should not use mechanics you know the devs will change" because that is ***. I will say I feel for all you guys getting screwed on this... really I feel your pain. But all these stupid skype-accusations against the devs for supporting one group over another is getting absurdly childish. You hard core whiners, blame-gamers and trolls are pushing me away from this game much more than the Devs' misteps. But again, I do get the frustration.

Good luck getting at least your NIC back. And Devs, while at it, me and all my corp/alliance mates will take the NIC for Walls as well.

And ffs ADVERTISE THIS GAME! Get some fresh blood in here before this population eats itself alive with all these bitter veteran rivalries. 

/tinfoil
or maybe that's your strategy, grind the vets out, test it all, reset EP, re-release to the public
/tinfoil

You are the lamest of the lame in this game.

EDIT: to be clear

Purchasing EP for a single account would be play-to-win. It's only arguable that paying to utilize EP efficiently is pay-to-win.

More arguable is to say that buying multiple accounts to accelerate EP gain is play-to-win. I think we have all heard the arguments on that. Let's not revisit.

I kinda like the OPs idea.

Also related... since we have so much damn EP on the test server why not allow us to downgrade there. I only need to boost skills to test something specific. I'd rather be able to keep my Test server EP the same as Live EP most of the time.

Keep it coming. Your footprint is refreshing.

Also, should be balanced more toward aggressive action than logistics. So a rule like 3000k plus from terminals would allow hostile force sneak in point but forbid insta, safe transport of haulers directly to terminal.

But like I said this would be significant ability overall with lots if options for balance.

Long Live Perpetuum !!!

I'm staying.
