Hi there ,)
To your military account; i would restrict all non fighting extensions to those u strictlly need to be efficient as backup for your miner. Sometimes even cheaper to just create alter with some starting extensions and more related atributes (hence more cheap extensions). The combat characters seem to be the more specialization-demanding ones imo.
For your indus- miner; no sure how much EP need to be a uber repairer but mining at least dont take much EP if u stick to lvl 5 in relevant extensions; industry on the other hand takes loads of EP and mats so might be a bit harder. The mining bot by excelence its the Termis, much more productive than Argano but quite a pain in the *** to fit and make acc stable; so its quite interesting to jump to mech industrial robots asap.
Mineral yields seem to be much higher in the new 3 alpha islands, but might be too soon 4 u to move there as no assignements will be avaliable 4 u there yet.
I roll Asintec too, little behind in some aspects but we will get some Love one day.
Finally miner/repair & fighter/hauling pretty good combination. see u ))

Again, as nobody made any valid counterargument.
Why, if i am in a corp i can choose to sell my mats ie to my corpmates ,. even with lower inmediate profit but i can not buy from a corp at my choice.
@ Guns, your 101 thing its plain wrong. Some other factors interfere in market besides price and we all know; proximity and timing are some, and politics could be also one if we had the tools.
@ Arga i dont agree either, the grieffing its now; where lots of products dont reach public market and those who do are generally more overpriced than before; hence newcomers are forced to compete on a market with no buyers (as your old corp can surelly suply much cheaper) and buy at more expensive prices. If i had the choice i would buy from small miners, corps even if it would be more expensive.
This alone might seem insignificant to you, but along with the kernel nerf its absolutelly killing market. Now its almost impossible to compete. Also last patch, making corp buy /sell orders EP free, its making this problem even worst. Where its the counterefect of leaving the public market? why individuals and small corps are in such disadvantage again? if i wanted to make money in market i had to sacrifice some ep, now people can save their ep´s and still get advantage from market.
I liked anonymity on market, you removed it parcially benefitting big corps again; hurting game ultiamtelly; remove all anonimity and give cookies for all.

Fighters might lack a personal motivation for fight (??!! ?), but if you ask your corpmates they surelly have preferences on what kind of outpost they would like to be refining, recycling or porducing their goods. They surelly have preferences based on reputation, ore or kernel proximity and things alike,such preferences are put in order to get higher beneffits and lower costs from producing, so you can eventually outproduce your competitors and kill them all. Like any other game, its pointless unless u want to play it, or two dont fight if one of them does not want to.
Population and retention seems a problem most niche games have to face soon or sooner, to me it is not in a point where its gamebreacking; i see some healthy corps and new ones with new roles appear every week. Market could be better, but here the problem i think its the corp buy/sel orders whic has damaged badlly the market, along with the kernel nerf, wich destroyed all kernel market, these where bad changes and should be reverted imho since only beneficed the wealthy and made the gap for new players even larger. Moar accesible and moar publicity pls.

Hi, im not a lot into pvp; but i ride thelodica and i see what u mean but in a diferent way.
Problem with line of sight is huge disavantage and gets explioted everytime, but there are some situations Seths or Arties can be quite deadfull, so defender ambushes and opefield only fights its our place for now if u ask m.
Any LOS tweak would be welcome thou.

Mr Styx u may be a little biased here since kernels have no more utility for your corp. This game nor any mmorpg belongs to megacorps, its called sharing and ppl learn that as youngsters, why would newcomers or med to small sized corps have to invest more time to feel the "progression" wind in their faces, than your well timed and adverted gang did (no ofense).
I say if there was an issue with knowledge base being too common, there might be other options than giving again such disadvantage to big corps (drop rate to 70%, change spawns, drop % of knowledge learnt and so, .,)

I dont rlly mind about buy orders on Kernels, but lowering drop rate to 50% is way too much a imbalance imho

aww,. no very constructive 2cent Jelan
by we u reffering to the 250ish semis alts online?:D
If we had more things to do mayb more ppl will log., each mech with it own honk easy feature and might be fun for ppl. Might dislike some of us and knowing their resons is interesting too.
