That's all the Dev tracking you will need, hopefully.

Zoom - it's a page that lists all the forum threads that Devs have posted in, players use it to keep track of "official" info.

Go to landmark settings, turn off agents. You don't need to see other nubs anyways. I agree its a cheap hack, but it upped the fps, and lowered the lag for me.

This is not just a problem for the kill missions. For geology missions, the level 3 mission I did had me scan in three spot (as opposed to 1 with level 1), travel 2x farther - right on top of level2/level3 npc robots who want to gank me, and this is the best part, the relations I receive are +0.01, +0.0, +0.0!! The monetary reward is 22500 as opposed to 18000, and I receive bullets instead of energy cells.

I wish it yield at least some better standings, and did not involve risking a bot to complete a scan.

But ammo, and charges, can be produced by players now - been long that way. The trouble with this issue is that for laser ammo, the BUY orders for all other ammo, besides the small sonic energy cell, exceed the NPC sell order for the one ammo that is NPC sold, showing that the demand far exceeds how much players produce.

If you remove the incentive for miners and industrialists to make a profit, there is not much of a point in the game.

If they DO remove the NPC sell orders, then they will see how stupid the current PVE combat reward system is. If you run combat missions as a Laser (asintec) toon, you LOSE NIC by buying the ammo needed to do l1 assignments in a prometheus with 5 laser guns on it.

Denying that the problem exists will get us nowhere, so let's let the game play out as it was meant to, so the Devs can achieve the right balance - not some twisted half-assed NPC bolstered fake sense of right-ness.

If you are just running courier missions, or ore, or something, try turning off NPCs and Agents in the Landmark settings. Seems to improve the situation a lot.

+1 Nice work!

Just a request - It would help if you listed the relation ratio with two decimal places, as with the other ratios, since, for example, when I have an average of 6.52 relation ratio, it shows up currently as "7%", throwing calculation off just a bit, and this effect accumulates, especially with production calculations.

CTs can be traded in station, using a corp hangar, between corpmates.

You cannot get maxed out in everything, so focus on the skills that provide the best benefit for EP spent.

For a solid example, let's say you want to create a toon who mines (and then refines/sells the ore). I would place some importance on NOT specializing into a specific ore at the get-go, who knows, it could well be worthless in a day/week/month!

So, you are a miner, and you want to figure out where to spend that EP!
Spend it on Extensive mining, focus on getting that to 7 or 7+ to start.
Keep some EP in your pocket to spend on fitting skills (to increase CPU/Accumulator/Reactor as needed), and some for Roboting skills for the mining bots of choice. A Mech miner (termis) is a huge EP investment, so always keep that in mind. Getting in a Mech sooner will increase your mining output per hour faster than the last three levels on Extensive Mining, for sure, but to get a Termis, you need NIC, and for that you need to mine. So just don't be in a hurry to spend that EP.

Also - no one else can mine for you instantly - however, someone else can REFINE for you instantly, especially if you pay them for their services, or if you are in the same corp. You can also see the ore you mine for a decent profit.

Ultimately you'd want to be self-sufficient, but that is way down the road, like 6+ months from now, for now, try to figure out what will enable you to be self-sufficient with respect to NIC generation, AND helpful in the big-picture of the corp you join.

Just to make this sorta more useful, here are the skills that are not related to industry that are useful to have. These are things that I felt I could have used more of:

Data Processing- more CPU
Long range targeting - what it says
Targeting
Reactor Expansion
Accumulator Expansion
Energy Management
Basic Parallel Assigment
Diplomacy
Basic marketing
Basic purchasing

You don't need to start with more than 2-3 in the above skills, use your own judgement and see what you need. Don't spend that EP unless you are hurting without a skill, or stuck.

The BUY prices of the majority of the small laser ammo is now higher than the NPC sell price of Small sonic energy cell. Come on devs, cancel that sell order!
