All your db's belong is us.

Off topic but if you want to stimulate the market then the market needs to uniquely produce something that self sufficient corps need.  And the corps can only get this by selling on the market. rock peper sissors.

e.g Sell modules on the market get a Nian token.  Nian tokens are needed for outpost production on beta.

Not to seem ungrateful here but the US players at work will have to wait before they can get back to the game.  I'd be suprised if their is anything in quantity left after the Euros have had 6+ hours to look for it.  sad


Should have stayed a colony then.

I think the way the game is designed helps create the blob.  Whoever has the oldest accounts have the EP advantage allowing the better skilling of bots.  For another guild to be competitive in pvp you then need to gain the blob to balance the reduced EP they have . As time goes on the EP difference becomes less important as the 'end game' is reached but by this time the blobs tend to suck up people still as it becomes more of a numbers game.  Tactics still play a part as we see today with pairing of bots together (sum > individual) and bomb bots, but if you find a winning combination and you have the pilots to drive them the blob is still king.

My hope is that the more diversity we get in the end game (which I do think this game has) the more hope there is.  My own suggestion for encouraging anti-blob / players on more islands would to limit each beta outpost to say 30 named players.  ie if your not on the list you can never enter. Perhaps this would encourage guilds to take over and USE multiple outposts rather than being based in a single (result dead islands)  one or trying to take them all over for the glory of the epeen.

CIR has quite a few NA players so come over to Novastrov for a roam.

The new island names are ***. Call them something that people can remember rather then this pseudo sci-fi easten block nonsense.

Thats all well and good Alex, but who downloads the pr0n faster is what we need to know.

Well it happens every time.  Next patch Ill write down exactly what happens. to document it.

Dev - im playing a game this isn't my 'professional time'. Perhaps more 'professional' coding wouldn't introduce bugs....

Patch fails on my win 7 64 machine and I have to spend time randomly running 'perpetuum_exereplace.exe' / deleting the old perpetuum.exe / rebooting doing it again and again and again.

Edit: Cleaned up the post. Please be more professional in this forum section. - DEV Calvin

Okay folks Jita thought it would be a good idea (I agree) for the community to get questions asked in my podcasts.


Please add more categories if you don't see one that fits your question.

[Beta Islanders]
What was the average time spent in executing 'ECORP dock-up maneuver 1B'?

Laser Dolphins is on the list.

May have been requested before but search buttons are for those anally challenged.

So can we have some graffiti type tags like you get in Counter Strike but on a corp level.
i.e. I would have a CIR tag that I could go and spray on some other islands outpost to say 'FU I was here'

All for fun. Rather childish. But good for encouraging some inter island pvp.

Quite often you can find yourself without any pvp and fed up of mining and needing something to do. What better than fishing! 

It would be  something that is easy to get into, and is available to everyone, from solo carebears on Alpha islands to the proud fishers of Beta islands, and is something that can reward you with shiny new fishes.

Fishing could be an extension to your current industry modules. Every island could  have an ever-changing collection of fishing spots that players will be able to fish with their telescopic fishing rod modules and reap their rewards when they find them. As well as fish there could  be several types of artifacts ranging from simple salvage containers, through hidden stashes guarded by angry NPCs fish, science vessel wreckages holding calibration templates of new Mk2 robots or even alien data storages with precious intel that will get you on special fishing missions. Since this would be a very easily expandable system, it could add more fish types every now and then.

My bot just wants to look up and see the sky but there is a bolt in its neck that prevents this. Any Dev have a hacksaw?

The initial factions are useless.  All it lets you do is choose the colour of your bot.  It could be replaced with three buttons saying "red, yellow, blue" and three underneath saying "pvp, mining, manufacturing".
