Truth...

and yeah the Troier with 2 meds is a real Mickey

Saddest thing is, since the game released (roughly a year), the Devs have added...

1. Artifact system.
2. 6 new islands.
3. ... ?

All in all VERY poor for a 1-year old game.

If we talk about stable things, then yes.
If we talk about everything, then:
- ERP
- Teleport beacons
- Interference
- MK2

And actually islands not stable too.

The developers are not all-powerful. They can do something one of these:
- Add new
- Change the old one.

Interference was a anti-big-light-bot-blob measure. It failed to deliver, as anithing in game can be overwhelmed by a far smaller number of light bots then the interference kicks in.

It didnt make the big groups split up into smaller tast forces, because the small group doesn't work against a gropho+symbiont blob (which has a high threshold for interference because they are heavy mechs).

the second anti-blob measure was AoE Robot explosions - as far as i can tell, it didnt change much, just that short range weapons are not much of an option (why fitting half range weapon when the difference is only 10% in DPS for laser? why using short range missiles when you can bombard your target from save behind cover?)

detection system:
Increasing the radar range up to 2km while maintaining the same islandsize... you know why its bad
masking beeing a % increase of the base masking value of your robot, and with same values as detection =
very bad.  note: industrial robots are shining light-beacons on a landmarklist...

ERP:
was a great idea, but several factors are just off:
- t1 - t3 have been useless, except on blue bot, and after two nerfs, they are useless on any bot
- nerfing the ERP, instead of preventing fitting an injector at the same time = fail
- production costs of those are insane

General balancing changes:

theres a general issue with the bad copy of some features from EvE. one example is the Accumulator mechanic,
the other one the weapontypes, the third one the locking system.

The Locking system is one of the main issues why we wont see bigger-then-one tile mechs. (overexaggerated: a 9 tile long vehicle could hide from shots behind a 1 tile indestructible lightpole)

The accumulator with 50% peak recharge is a very very bad copy of eve. Its the cause for all the capstability whining topics which will never end as long as the peak stays there.

Weapon stabs: with them introduced, ALL medium weapons should have had their dispersion increased by 100% along with some other changes i have mentioned earlier here. The concept of small and medium weapons in this game is simply: your in a small bot, fit small weapons, your in a mech fit medium weapons. do not fit any other weapons then your bot has a bonus for because they wont do any significant damage only slow you down. (firarms are out of the equatation). there is also not much of a reason to fit anything but 1 type of weapon, because the ammo takes up all your cargo, and all weapons can deal all damage types with different ammos. Choosing your weapon is a matter of GFX... nothing more.

Thats the key problem with detector balance. One module must be countered by X modules, where X is your squad size.

1:X

Squad size of 20 you must equip 20 maskers to counter a single detector. There should be a better option.

Sun - masking a whole squad is a whole different strategy.

And while its true a roaming party can't jump an entire squad through the TP and avoid a single scout 2km away, neither can the defender hide an entire squad if you send through a detector scout to make sure its clear; unless either side all fits maskers.

Offense and defense on the mask/dect is balanced because there is no advantage for either side; if they BOTH use scouts.

Being able to mask a whole squad means you could travel without scouting and giving away your intent. That's actually imbalanced in the other direction IMO.

theory crafting at its worst :-) but I'd like a viable waspish with 2 med launchers :-)

syndic, thats my point, and thats the reason why i want the PvE part to be more entertaining and with a semi-goal.

If the NPC factions capture islands and outposts just like player would (or an AI in an RTS game would do), then the playerbase would have a reason to fight them back, with no static spawns anywhere to "farm" them countless hours.

the PvE combat Part would be much more similar to the PvP part, and mental barrier would be much lower to participate in PvP then now.

At the same time, mining/production could be made less time intensive as even the PvE player would have constant losses. Losing your robot should be a normal part in PvE, just like you expect to lose your little zergswarm when sending it into your opponents base, but you also expect to take enough of his worker or buildings down before the groups is annihilated.

Devs disbanding corps and preventing players from playing together? Yeah, right... Like that wouldn't result in PTSD-diagnosed visitors with automatic rifles knocking on the door.

It's up to them to make the game, not up to the players to jump through hoops trying to come up with reasons to fight. Sorry but you're taking it too far, its their job and their future they're working for, the players are just fish in a sea filled with a lot of other MMO's and a lot of other companies making MMO's.

Company interfering like that would get so much *** they'd be lucky to see another sub, nevermind any form of increase after all those lovely veterans with 8-10-20 accounts each started mass-cancelling. Hell, look what happened in EVE just because of a 60$ monocle.

well, resetting M2S helped three times now to boost playerbase
this time it would be CIR...

but i do not really want to see something like that again -> its like Diablo2 Ladder reset, getting old after some time, and by far not "persistant" ...

That's apples and oranges tbh.

M2S abused the insurance and got their NIC removed (but were allowed for some reason to keep the materials and kernels they bought prior to that), then there was some duping and they got wiped and their CEO banned for it.

CIR on the other hand, only abused... hm. Well, we do emphasize playing as a team and prize teamwork above all. That's not against any rule as far as I know.

I replied to your post in the general sense that it was written (so I understood it), there are many veteran established corps out there (not just CIR) that have people with 10-20 accounts. Some have more of these people, some have less. Devs stepping in to disband/reset these corporations, actively interfere and prevent them from playing together would result in only 2 things: massive unsubs (for scale of Perpetuum anyway) and sh*tstorm of bad press.
