My apologies for any misleading communication from StateCorp members. Roburky is very polite when dealing with people, but the truth is our policy has always been to shoot robots on beta. We want to PvP, and have no plan to make alliances.

It'd be great if the killboard was a totally accurate picture of what is happening, but of course it is not.  I am talking about what actually happens when you take a squad out pvping, which I've done most nights since walls were introduced. Walls have made it less interesting and much slower for PvPers - and that's not a good thing for people who pay their subscription to get an open pvp game.

Walls essentially reduce the risk of getting killed on beta - and where is the fun in that? The entertainment value in this game is *taking risks*. If you want to just grind up money and make stuff, why not stick to alpha?

This statement is baffling. I see no evidence that this is true, at all. All walls have done is make it harder to get anywhere near outposts. They're a ludicrous brake on PvP, which is the only thing - as M already pointed out - which provides a motor for the player-driven economy the developers have built.

I'm definitely not objecting to player-built structures, but the current implementation of walls is spammy and game-breaky. It's simply not well executed, and definitely hampering all PvP, not just gank skirmish stuff.

I'm all for finding a way to protect miners and so on, but right now people can wall up entire islands. It's too much.

Having roamed around beta islands today, I basically cannot get anywhere without a sequer full of bombs. I've breached a bunch of them, but roaming is costing like 2.5m NIC / 10km. It's pretty funny, but it's very broken.

It's only getting worse. Please fix!
