I'd love to see more data sent during combat and less outside of combat. It's annoying to be following someone and they suddenly walk through a wall or a plant instead of going around it. I've run two client on the same screen the the position difference is about 30m's which is a lot when some weapons optimal range are less than 100m.

I've not tested it since I reported it but field containers I think were fixed. I didn't try any others but it's nice to make an uncrackable field container.

Is it fixed now?

If you have shadows turned on you probably won't get above 30 FPS.
I run with high view range, full robot detail and a few other bells and whistles and I'm always seeing my maximum of 60 FPS.

In large fights I do have to turn on low detailed robots but apart from that I have no issues with buildings. Buildings also don't render now until you can see them which is nice. It's either sight or range but either way it's improve on what it used to be. Alpha island is rather bad for graphical lag due to the number of buildings so close together. a LOD on buildings not in view would be nice. So that they are still rendered but the buildings behind your camera are much lower detail and only render to full detail as and when you turn your camera to view them.

If you want constant, meaningless but fun PVP go play Battlestar Galactica Online.

If you want to play game set in a world were anyone can make a difference then play Perpetuum.

I vote for somewhere I can make a difference, be involved with something and feel accomplished when I get what I aimed to achieve.

Bigger ISN'T better.
A mech doesn't mean you're some kinda level 80 and assault are level 40's. It  doesn't work like that here.
It's about armor, DPS and speed. Extensions make very little difference to the outcome of a fight.

Fitting is important. If you fit to be high DPS but slow speeds and the target is faster than you what stops them from kiting you? If you go for speed and range  and get tackled you're in a lot of trouble.

Two assault will kill a mech hands down as long as they're fit to do so. A mech will kill an assault if it's fit to do so. Saying you like a mech to an assault shows you didn't think about your fitting or theirs.

I thought so too. The idea of giving NIC per SAP winner would mean the defenders would always show up and if no one else did the defender at least gets some money for their time.

This game doesn't let you choose which graphics card to use and also doesn't support SLI.

It's annoying but I wonder how hard it is to write support into the engine to at least select which card to use.

Can we get one for each race? Is there a Nian Industry logo?
Three posters like the seconds one would be perfect.

Of all the strange restriction to add I rather expected the forums to be the first and least strange. You know, above the importance of them buying market items.

A 1 hour patch on a weekend isn't that bad and I'd prefer if they can't get a hot fix ready for Friday that they do it early (EU time) on Saturday. Having to wait the extra few days is more annoying that just a quick patch and restart. If you only get 1 hour a week to play Perpetuum and it falls on a patch day you're not getting anything out of the game. If on the other hand you play the game 10 hours a day everyday then it doesn't matter then they patch.

Sounds like Q.Q over "I want to play..Wahh". If the downtime is expected to be greater than 1 hour I'd say make sure the patch is during the servers quiet times. I can see when those are and they picked a good time to patch.

Looks fine to me.

NPC kernel buy orders should be removed and replaced the NIC source with another system. I am pretty sure the Devs are aware of this and are working on a solution so I won’t post any ideas for what could be done if there is something in the pipeline.

Then couple this with low level NPC's dropping flawed (T0) items instead of standard modules and only high level and beta island NPC's drop standard items. Make the T0 items no more damage than yellow as this will allow them to be used or recycle much cheaper than the current system then when they get a rare standard module from a mob it's not worthless. Standard module drops need to be decreased but “salvagers” should still have a job. Each flawed module that drops should have a 25% chance to be a standard module.

These two changes would stimulate the standard module market and kernel market. Increase the base length of each sell order so that the minimum time is 1 week and the maximum is 2 months. That way people will put things on the market and be able to leave them there as there is demand for items but not many people around to buy them. As demand for item increases, more players join and a new NIC sink is needed the cost of listing items could be increased further for longer durations. For now keep it to a scale where 2 months costs 8 times the price of 1 week.

Now for the fun part that bring the whole economy together. New market tools and abilities. Features like being able to modify sell and buy orders remotely rather than have to cancel and put them up again and more market data! This is probably the most important feature to fix the economy. Add a market tool that unlocks more data by training extensions in marketing. The higher the extension the more they can see from remote locations and the more data they get and the more up-to-date data. Rather than a 24 hour average they can choose a 6 hourly average to see what times modules sell best and where in the game world most modules are being sold and bought and where the highest demand and highest supply of modules are.
