Zoom, how does npc spawning and AI touchups going to help the game?

Is there really enough money floating in the game to warrant T4+ items being 500M as ive stated before that's 9Billion for a black seth.  2.5B for a black bot seems legit unless you want everyone rolling in them.  The economy isn't healthy enough to charge these outrageous prices.  Anyone else concerned that they're working on NPC AI and not concentrating on stuff more pratical.  No one gives a *** about npcs unless it's for beacons which you've clearly broke, or you could at least do the Turrets vs npc.

i think the dev's have given up and are just milking it now.

idk 500m for T4+ seems like a huge sink.  we're talking 9 Billion in just 1 black seth

ok, i understand the amount of nic that was generated was stupid, however, did anyone else think that the economy was doing better with people able to make nic?

Zoom what the *** is up every time i go to scan a sap it's always 13hrs+ with very few in the 8 hr mark.  There seems to be no variation between a short timer and a long one it's either short of super duper *** long.  Are you catering to other players?

We don't recruit people who say newbro.

that's fine. like i said, social is my big thing and judging by your response....jita's description is accurate and you're lacking in that area.


to the both of yall...is beastmode a player? if so, drawing that conclusion off a common word like newbro? jump the gun much? i dunno, maybe it's something else i said to that made yall think that too?

anyways, i can see paranoia about spies is just as prevalent here as in eve. that's awesome. i love the strategic aspects that adds to these types of games. i think i just might like it here.

i got the gunnerherpasyphalidus.  Sounds like what a spy would say.

While the tp system may look symmetrical or simple for travel from Alpha to beta and then beta2, it makes for poor gameplay, restricting access and unneeded choke points.

You gotta admit it was some BS when you could jump from alpha 2 > Beta 2 > Gamma 2 without even moving from a teleport.  Access to Rhao was WAY too *** easy.

funny fact, zoom tried to callout Sunny because he did a lot of beacons when it was just a single indi spawn.  Everyone reminded zoom that it had been like that for years, but he insisted beacons were supposed to be like that from the beginning.

I decided to break in my new black seth while ratting the other day with Hawk.  After comparing the additional bonuses between black bots and regular mk2's.  I came to the conclusion that black bots, outside of gamma sieging, are a vanity item.  Anyone else think the 100,000 tokens and 2.5 billion isn't worth it?

while we're talking about it i think S-demobs should be LOS because they're too strong and Ls should be not LOS

+1 i agree with the assaults need to be faster, heavies shoudln't be slowed because if they plate for speed they lost alot.    While we're on the topic of balance.  How can we make mech's viable?

OR if you just wanna make it simple for every combination of a beacon you get an extra wave of mobs or something like that to increase the reward.  Shouldn't be that hard to code.  I could be wrong.

Just did a small sample of beacons here's what we got.  10 Light Indi STAR beacons: 11K hightech, 26.6K Indi No more than 30 of each fragment 1 escalation.  10 Medium Pelestial STAR Beacons: 9.7K HighTech No more than 30 of each fragment 2 escalations.  1, yes 1  Medium Pel 1 Stripe (NO STAR)Beacon: 30k common kernals 150 damaged frag-75perfect.  took us twenty minutes to run the 10 and like 3 min to run the 1 stripe.  In my assessment the Star beacons are a waste of time since T2+ no absolutely no value.   We were pretty demoralized having pretty much wasted an hr of our time.  anyone have a sample for medium 2 stripes.  For being the 2nd hardest beacon in the game light star beacons are pretty worthless.  Zoom beacons are still a huge waste of time.  My suggestion is allow us to combine beacons at a depreciating value.  For example, if i were to combine two  Star beacons(1 strip) instead of getting the 200% value instead give it a value of 175% and if i were to combine it again with another beacon give it 225% of the reward and have it tier.

BeaconA+BeaconB=BeaconD @175% reward. instead of 200% you lose a quarter of the value
BeaconC+BeaconD=BeaconF @225% reward. 50% loss on the beacon
beaconG+BeaconF=BeaconH @250% reward. 25% loss of value

Instead of wasting time doing these small beacons allow us to combine for bigger reward be a little faster, but taking an overall loss.  at the cost of 4 beacons you only get 250% of the reward.  This would give a reason to buy beacons from the token shop.  And Maybe you gotta produce these @ a terminal @ a price(another nic sink)

What do yall think?

Damn no one putting in work on greens aye? Bump for *** justice.

well jita if you'd like to mine me up 10.8M in cryo i'd be more than happy to accept it.  point of the post was Zoom was ignoring Sunny and me and apparently ville.  We do all this work on gamma and get *** on and ignored im glad zoom is prepared to make reparations.  like i said before i wouldnt' care if we had 1 or 2 bases, however, having to power 15 bases and having them emptied out was a no bueno situation.
