Balance:

1. Remove Gamma. Until your population recovers its just empty space or unassailable places to create wealth
   agreed

2. Bring back the old ore mechanics with static massive red spots on beta and less beneficial ones on alpha. The dynamic spawns made beta industry harder and alpha industry easier. And never ending spawns of the same ore type is a recipe for disaster (as eve found out recently)
   agreed about the instant respawn. the implemented system does by definition not work (a new deposit is generated as soon as the total falls below a certain threshold. this means, it always generates a new deposit after one is mined out.
   the dynamic spawn system is perfectely fine. the distribution of the minerals in stuff that is produced is what makes beta so pointless - there is only epriton to mine

3. Revert the recycling nerf and revert plasma. Both these changes made you not bother to sell your loot and made you nic independent. It was market breaking and caused the emptiness you see today. You also don’t need plasma with the new missions and its just a cause of a lot of botting / beacon pit crazyness as well as people having millions of old modules they don’t sell because they are worthless.
   agreed partially. plasma is crap - a per kill bounty payout would have been the right thing.
   Loot tables are crap to begin with. fragments, "tier0" items and rare higher tier drops should have been the thing to do. having tier1 drops as default has always been a bad idea.
   recycling of fragments and tier 0 modules should be the job of "scavangers"

4. Revert all mech / balance changes including diminishing returns until we are back before the horrific imbalance that created undemobable bots. It was really well balanced before. Its just got steadily worse since.
   maybe. balance was never good, and got worse with every step that removed rock/paper/scissors. aka when long range weapons got their accumulator usage reduced, and all the different weapons got their traits equalized.
   ontop of that, PVP ammo introduction and injector ammo nerf put the nail into the faction balance

5. Bring the syndicate bots back to the drawing board. As a rough rule of thumb new mechs and content should be awesome and then nerfed a couple of times back to sanity until the new awesome thing comes. That’s what gets people interested, makes a fotm that’s exciting and causes them ice sales.
   disagree

Make Beta great again!
The aim is to reduce risk

1. Make Beta 1 stations unlocked (but still able to be taken). Yes that dead horse. Review it once the population rises perhaps but for now lets go back to post release mechanics.
   disagree. just the intrusion system is crap

2. Remove detectors from the game and nerf the view range of the smaller bots and mechs. No more seeing an island in thirty seconds. Make roaming great again.
   agreed. detection system needs only be there to counter masking. not increasing viewing range. the game was great with max 1km viewing range, and ~800m combat range MAX. even the robot speed made more sense that time

3. Increase the undock vulnerability. All those undock and look guys can get bent.
   disagreed - the vulnerability and such is just a baindaid to the unnecessary system to dock in the first place.

4. Restrict missions to station owners. Give a reason for ownership.
   disagreed - after all i am for docking restrictions

5. Increase the loot drop rate for PvP to 100%
   actually, i would forbid the ability to destroy cargo completely. IMHO cargo you "destroy" should simply drop into a container. give it two options - "abandon" and "drop". one would drop it into an open fieldcontainer, the other one in a 5 minute protected
   suddenly, "piracy" would be a thing. if you shoot someone, his cargo mostly explodes. if you want his cargo, you can give him the option to survive and drop. and last but least, you would remove the artifical need for the infinite black-hole fieldcontainer on the market

6. Allow jumping with a PvP flag only from beta to beta, not beta to alpha
   no need to, if they would get back to a crime&punishment system, instead of the bandaid-crap-alpha/beta system to begin with?

Market

1. NPC sell orders for all Mechs and bots (not heavies or gliders) at a price that’s above mineral cost

2. NPC sell orders for weaponry up to tech 3 (until the market is back)

don't see how that would even create a market or help the game
PVE

1. Bring back the old squad mission money. Changing this was the worst act of seppuku I’ve seen in this game. People loved it and you *** it up despite us all begging.
   meh, maybe they should actually make squads squads first. but agree - the incentives to do stuff together are -100% (yes, negative)

2. Mining and harvesting missions should put the equivalent amount of material in the local station on an NPC sell order
   you think to small here. but a relation between the missions and the NPC market would be great

3. The new beacons are fine but the pay out is horrible, make them in line with squad missions
   already covered by the requeste to change loot-tables

4. The chance based tickets for items are fine as a concept but they should be decent pay out instead of useless. Start a thread asking for pay out ideas.

5. Bring back red spawns and decent observers everywhere
   agreed. non-agression ENEMY NPCs are plain stupid
