Nice one!

It doesn't say lose docking rights, it says lose docking access management rights.  Losers will still be able to haul out stuff after the first loss.

Saw this^. Got one of these: http://content.perpetuum-online.com/ima … 712_08.jpg

HOLD UP. Even *** jokes gotta stop for something important.

With the Aug15 changes comes the +/- EP thing. Rather than making it a first 30 days for everyone (which means none of us newbies from June can really use it) make it a 30 days from THIS patch OR 30 days from neurointegration. Otherwise you are gonna see a great purge the week before, basically wiping out your goal on that front.

Why do we need so manyattributes, if people mostly using only two attribute builds?
Why do we need attributes, anyway?

I love you guys (and girls?). Your development methodologies are excellent and much appreciated

Reading over the list I can honestly say I like and agree with all the proposed changes and at least don't foresee any downsides.

Just one concern/query relating to the extension changing. For existing characters, can there be some grace period for those older than 30 days? I'm sure I'll be within the 30 day window but I think it would be better to allow people the opportunity for a one time extension clean-up without a full reset.

I know I have a few level 1/2 extensions I want to get rid of because I wont use them or misunderstood their purpose. Hardly worth resetting over.

Apart from that looks like fun times ahead

This please!!

I'm of the opinion all attributes should be very even with a minor increase in a single direction.
Some people would prefer more half and half characters where specialised accounts just get to do more stuff sooner rather than half and half characters getting to do things much much later.

If I lose any of my Relation % due to this change .. im Uninstalling and getting rid of my 10 ACCOUNTS 

But really .. this is very vage ... what are you saying here?

Combat Assignments wont give relationship bonus anymore .. so Indy people will have a harder time getting higher relationship standings?

Doesnt that also effect Mission runners?

I must not be reading this right .. someone help me out here ...

Suggestion for the "Beta outposts" change

Before you get this ingame - I think you should move players items from outposts to the beta terminal of whatever island so they still have access to there stuff ...

I'm thinking about players who are away on vacation and such .. with yearly subscriptions ..

I can only imagine them coming back .. seeing this new change and finding out they cant get to all there robots, items etc ..

Thanks!

You'll be offered the same assignments. But the relations you get from combat assignments will no more influence your use of the factories or your refining. Therefore an industrialist will no more need to grind combat assignments before he can build stuff.

isn't puttin 100% in specilization?

i mean i would hope that 10 was better than 9 other wise there was no reason to get it. theres no reason to invest the EP in it.

You have a point. I'll have to check. I thought that industrial corporations already only offer industrial assignments, logistics corporations logistic assignments and military corporations military assignments.

The main problem, however, is another. Currently the benefits you get when using a factory (or prototype facility etc. etc.) depend on the "faction standings" as a whole. And these are, currently, the average of all corp standings. Therefore an industrialist (which needs to be efficient or he'll just lose money instead of making it) currently must rise his standings with all corporations, including military corporations that only offer military assignments.

There are, therefore, two possible solutions. Either all corporations (including military) will offer all kind of assignments, or they change the "faction standing" calculations and split it into "faction industrial standing" and "faction military standing" (and "faction logistics standing") each computed only from the standings with those specific corps and then change the factory bonuses so that they use the industrial standing but are not affected by the military ones.

Note that it's irrelevant whether the corporations offer only their own specific assignments or not. As long as an industrial corporation does offer you multiple industrial assignments, it's irrelevant whether they also offer you military ones. Just do not do them, if you are not interested.
