Zoom clarified that it would probably only be T1 items cheap on the market.

Nice to see a little press, still, there was no editorial just a cut and paste.

Maybe as they get closer to steam launch they will do some interviews and get the ball rolling again.

My only reservation here is the 'shock' of going from the all-you-can-eat starter area to the harsh reality of the actual game.

Remember, any player can just put a second agent into the training area to help newbs out; and with lvl 5 skills and an open market, there's no limit to the training potential.

There was whispers about achieves for mining certain amounts of ore; would be very interesting to see 'kill mails' every X million units indie does.

Players could just move assets to bot cargo hold, undock and delete. Sure it would make it inconvienent but it wouldn't really resolve the problem like it did with the cargo restriction. I think you may even be able to delete your inventory without triggering destabilization.

Certainly can't stop players from removing assets from a seiged terminal.

Sorry, did I take the wrong side

I would say deleting items isn't a desirable mechanic, but I don't see a specific way to prevent it.

Let me put these 2 quotes together for you

RSA buddy and Follow Bot are the same thing. There are also Combat specific Nexus's, especially at lvl 10.

Critical Hit, Assault for direct DPS and Farlock and Lock Booster to reduce the effectiveness of supression.

They can have (3) of (4) of those active.

If you're going to pimp out the EW side, with Nexus and follow bots, then you have to Pimp the other side too.

For 'real' PVP, players have no specific knowledge about what they are going to encounter in the engagement (expect for Bo-tang).

If side 1 fits Long-range DPS and the other side fits for short range, side 1 will have the advantage; or vice versa.

But you don't know!

If you're coming against CIR though, better fit ECCM, because we're going to be EW heavy. But that's a choice we make, Cookie tells me to undock in the Z-2 instead of my just-as-EP-leveled Seth2, because having EW instead of just brute force DPS gives him alot more flexability when FC'ing.

Still, before I undock, I need to decide if I'm going for single-target long range supression, or multiple med-range, and if I'm going to have RSA support or if I have to have my own head SA's.

Let me ask this.

What do you think the role of EW is?

The whole point of EW is to make DPS less effective. If it can't do that then it's not worth fielding.

If EW wasn't capable of reaching 1200m, as the defending feild commander, how would you counter the Gropho?

Well, if I was going to actually start a debate with you on this subject, I would go in and get actual examples of 'thier side' and 'Our side' to prove the point; but luckily you responded with the type of post I would have had to go searching for.

Well, sure making walls better would be one way. The other way would be to make TF less effective. Of the two, changing TF seems like it would be less resource intensive.

From what I'm reading, its sounds more like TF can be used to make barriers that are impossible to cross, by placing objects or players in the area that prevent re-terraforming. Given the choice between making a barrier that can be destroyed or one that can't, of course designers are going to use TF because they want to make the best barrier possible. This is where there is a balancing issue, Impossible is too good but Walls aren't good enough.
