Remove island to island PVP or tell the peeps with slow connections to deal with it. I don't really care, but this has to be fixed ASAP.  FYI I will be personally making use of this "Feature" until it is fixed, as will everyone else.

Question.

So we have all heard all of these plans in the last 2 months.  In what sequence can we expect to see all of this? So far i am expecting spark tele nerfs, gamma wipes, mission patch, etc etc. how and in what order are we gonna see this?  are we talking days on the gamma wipe or weeks? months?  When is spark nerf coming?

I completely agree with you.  "Our side" has already been screwed out of huge quantities of loot on multiple occasions by this.

I say change it so its not possible to destroy anything in storage while terminal is reinforced.

*edit: Don't post private messages in public if the other person did not agree to it. - DEV Zoom

But but!! it illustrated my point so well!

its called a "Leak" Zoom, and they are all the rage at the moment.

This proposal is geared at screwing over the people who stayed subbed.  Why should you be rewarded for stopping your subs?  This doesn't help new players at all, this is strictly meant to help the vets who got all pissy and stopped subbing their accounts.  You decided to stop subbing.  That was your decision.  Live with it.

Maybe I'm not making this clear enough for you.  What i am trying to say is this:  Either remove SpT all together, and re-build the tele system and tele beacons for easier transport.  Or leave Spt system intact.  A half-assed band-aid is not gonna solve anything. 

I would like to point out a major flaw in the incoming system.  With 10 sparks tokens, we can still spark to 3 beta islands.  which means within about 5 mins we can still be anywhere, on any island.  The change that is coming has not fixed anything.  Do you see what I'm trying to say?

Fix the problem, or leave it alone.

The over arcing point of all of this is that people kept screaming that it will increase PVP.  It will in fact decrease it, because now we are going to be defending fewer stations then we were before.  The useless islands will be completely written off.  The only way this will not occur is if there is an influx of returning or new players to take up the unused stations and space.  <---  this wont happen FYI

This change wont help PVP, it will make PVP harder to come by, because now, you have to weigh the option of going on a roam to some OP that will take 20-30 mins to get to, with a significantly higher chance of no one being there to defend it.  The losing side, will still *** and moan because we will still be able to spark into the stations we want, and engage them.

This is all pointless talking now anyway because the patch is coming.  But, I will say what everyone is hoping for, will not occur.  What is going to happen, is people like 62nd (or whatever the hell you call yourselves now) will come for about a month.  Take a station no one is defending.  Get utterly slaughtered when we come for PVP, (they don't have Syndic to come to there rescue this time), and leave again.  Then, one of the major powers (Most likely our alliance, because there isn't really anyone with the competence to take and hold stations against a sustained assault by our side) will take it back and we will be in the same position we are now, except the people who do remain will now have to walk everywhere. 

I'm not trying to be a D***, but honestly if the opposing force didn't have the strength to take a station before, what has really changed?  you will still be at a MASSIVE numerical disadvantage, and you will also be at a material disadvantage, because as everyone knows, for the last 6 months or alliance has basically done nothing but mine/harvest/produce for the day (If it ever came) when a major power would come back to challenge us.

So has anything really changed besides the fact that we now have to spend far more time in the insanely boring, eye bleeding tedium part of the game, instead of the fun rewarding part?

Yes, you only gave those reasons after you started getting beat down, loseing fights, gammas, beta OP's.  This is my point about all of your holier than thou white knight crap won't someone think of the children BS.  You enjoyed the system perfectly fine until it started working against you.  You gave your precise reasons of why you were losing and how the DEVs could make it better for you, disguised as a we are trying to fix the problem.  There is a major difference.  If from the onset of SpT, you were saying this I would agree with you, but you didn't.  You used the system to your advantage and now that you can't, its suddenly broken.

Everything you are suggesting only makes it harder for us to defend our turf, and easier for you to take it.  This isn't about new players or longevity.  Its about you want the "Easy button" as you love to call it.  Field the fleets, take the stations, enjoy the benefits.  Without your big buddies in CIR your side is to incompetent to accomplish anything.  Hence the situation we have now.  If your fiends were still here we wouldn't be having this conversation.

This is the exact argument your side is making.  "We don't like that the enemy alliance can defend all of their Beta's so we think the DEV's should change it.  We liked it when we could do it, but now that it is used against us its broken and overpowered".  Sound familiar?

The only person who's argument is even remotely unbiased is Arga.  But my major gripe with his arguments is he is arguing against a system that he has never used or lived under.

I would love this!  Don't get me wrong, I would want it to be able to pick up from field cans, but if I had to sacrifice that ability to be able to move around 10,000 U of stuff, I would GLADLY make it.  Ill empty field cans all day with Scarabs, if I can move it all from station to station with a giant hauler.

Who are we to decide?  We are the ones who control them.  If you can take one, then you deserve one.  If you can't, you don't.  Its pretty simple.

a ginormous hauler.  One that makes the scarab look like a sequer.
