Read three posts above.

edit: Ehmmm.. or four.

Annnnd .... Coming home from work and there's some accident, doesn't look like I'm gonna be on time will do the best I can.

The complete unedited, unprocessed recording is here:
http://content.perpetuum-online.com/aud … -07-05.mp3 (~90mb)

I might conjure up a slightly better processed / normalized / edited / autotuned version somewhere down the line to level out the tone/volume differences, but as it stands I think this'll work for the time being.

EDIT - since introductions were scarce, here's the initial speaking order: Cassius, Kaldenines, Dazamin, Line, Lemon, Azyre, Zortarg, Tamas and MQX. (DEV Calvin was acting as host/moderator.)

While I'm here: sincere apologies to Qwertyboom for the combination of circumstances that kept him from joining us in due time; the short notice probably didn't help and we'll attempt to schedule the next such conference on hopefully a weekend where the timezone differences matter less.

Sounds like it went well from what i heard, Wish i could have been there but you know 4am.... YEAH RIGHT

but most of what i would have said was said so im happy.

needed more troll tho

I do still think that making the coast un terraformable would help the situation. i hade this comment back in feb... you should HAVE to use mobile TPs to get around gamma's

True Pros make a Podcast to influence the Devs minds, 
The rest of you guys are Hacks

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

If you want to stick to the lore, we should be able to walk into/under the water too which sometimes happens

Interesting conference, I can't wait to see your updates pack

"you're not in an MMO to make friends, you're there to make enemies "

Your gamma tp connection map looks interesting, inserting one island to create a space between gateways islands may be nice. I wouldn't bring back Alpha-1 triangle.

PvE:
Instances? No way! Switching roaming spawns to some sort of NPC fleets/caravanas with 20+ npcs with elite (ie. vanguard) or even observer leaders would be interesting (chance of t2+, t3- and with extrame luck t4+ mods drop) also increase number of spawns which roam at the same time.

Boost (greatly) rewards from gamma artifact sites. Scientific level 3 and no CT, not even *** one, thats harsh

Rewards (difficulty) could also increase with range how far (how many jumps) the island is from nearest Alpha/Beta. So ninjas wouldn't get same benefits by just teleporting next to beta and enjoy same rewards with lesser risk.

Interzone teleports range reduced.

It's all, atm, I'll be back

"you're not in an MMO to make friends, you're there to make enemies "

I think the island suggestion by Karism has potential as well. As far as the gamma pve content goes, I think Dan has some good ideas there. I don't think instances would be good, we need to try and keep it as simple as possible, if possible. No need to over complicate things, remember the Dev's have to write the code, not us. So simple is better and faster to bring to production.

I've been thinking about the terraforming issue and it occurred to me that something like this may work:
1. Base can only be placed x distance from teleport. (x being decided by devs and community)
3. once base is deployed a terraforming zone is established and terraforming can only be done by the base owner within a given radius of x. (x being decided by Devs and community)
4. This terraforming zone only lasts for x hours (refer previous X explanation) after which terrafroming becomes permanent and no-one can do any further terraforming including base owner. To remove a base requires one of two things:
a) The base is deconstructed by the owner, thereby cancelling the terraforming zone and allowing anyone to terraform again.
b) The base is destroyed by attackers thereby cancelling the terraforming zone and allowing anyone to terraform again.

Some notes about 4. if corp A completely encloses themselves in before the time limit to terraform has expired and then the timer expires,  they are locked in. This would be a stupid thing for a corp to do. So a corp must have a way in and out of the base. So corps would have to plan their base much more carefully before dropping stuff down.
If a base is destroyed by enemy attackers then the terraforming timer and zone is reset.

Just some thoughts I had.. Yes they may be crap, but at least I'm trying to contribute..

I would like something along the lines of: http://www.upload.ee/image/2489430/lines.jpg
* You are missing Imidero-Yuraion Ro teleport line.

yeah, i saw that afterwards, here is a fixed version http://i.imgur.com/ShScM.jpg

[EDIT] Just read this post: very similar stuff so apologies for duplication[/EDIT]

When asked by the players "Why 2000m building restriction around teleports?" the Devs replied that Hi-tech turrets can have up to 1500m range yet everybody still seemed to agree that a 1000m limit on building near teleports was the correct distance.

Being shot at by a static structure immediately on arrival is, I think, something everyone agreed would be detrimental to Gamma.

Soulutions suggested have been the 2000m restriction - (too much sand taken out of the box), or a syndicate protetion zone around TPs (we've been there before). How about MPC turrets (and only MPC turrets) not locking anyone within 500m of a teleport and a 1000m building restriction. That way if you feel the need to defend a teleport you have to do it with players, players can still shoot you when you're stood on the teleport.

Your extra idea is a good one. Put one toe out of the 500m zone and no matter where you go turrets can lock and shoot you.
