You immediately assume an ill-intentioned CEO. While the topic is about how to make life easier for the good ones.

I also like the idea of pooling research from individual members.
The best we can get is:
* players have personal KBs
* corps have corp-level KBs into which you could feed kernels separately
* KB that is actually used for production is the sum of all members' KBs and corp-level KB, i.e. the "pool".
With this system players will be able to split research holding responsibility betwen themselves and the corp in any proportion they see fit and none of eaten kernels will be wasted.

Pooling should also help individualist corps immensely.

It was just a summary of my 5-week presence in this game. I use suppressors almost daily.
There's a nice balance between EW and DPS bots on light/assault level. (Not sure about mech/hmech level.)

UPD: Aw, already nerfed. And combat mechs boosted. *** happens.

Because people treat them as spam and get angry?

Thanks for introducing us to CHAOS scripting practices, Yohey. I wonder if devs are still blind to these kinds of activities.

And I was wondering why some people call mining an AFK activity (hint: for legit miners it is not).

Thanks for the summary!

Zombiepilot is NOT completed. It works extremely bad.
Terraforming was canned? What's the source?
I think that artillery and AOE weapons are the same thing.
Idk about continents, but 2x2 island is certainly in the works.

Level 4 NPCs were available on alpha for quite some time. And it should stay that way under the new system.

The only significant problem with knowledge base mecnahic is it's dependence on one character.
Lots of clearly defined specialization paths (with minimal overlap) may improve this, but honestly, any other solution to the above problem is welcome.

Also, the past observer farming as a T4 fast track for some corps bugs me a little.

I've heard similar BS from a russian GM yesterday. Dear DEVs, please tell us this is a joke!

I mean, I don't like afk miners and they have to be dealt with, but this bug spoils all the fun for legit miners too.

I think the world is large enough to suport the current population.

I'd very much prefer a few more developed islands rather than (2 stations, 3 gates, 8 belts) x 100 model of EVE.

Make a dropdown menu of indy facilities. Long dropdowns are hard to use, buf if you keep it short (4-5 entries) it should be ok.
