Get rid of beacons. Get rid of static spawns. Re-balance NPCs for loot and difficulty. Make hunting NPCs on Beta one of the only ways to acquire sufficient quantities of Hi-tec kernals. Give us something akin to those scannable "dungeons"* you alluded to many moons ago on Gamma with balanced rewards. Press Go. Something like that anyway.

*FFS don't call them dungeons

Let me ask you Dear Devs again and repharse my queston:

For whom are you creating gamma content for?

3rd was beacons but.......

oh, i see that "risk vs. reward" concept again popping up...

(great forum filter)

It never 'popped' under. It's been wailing and screaming in the forums for years.

As someone who hasn't left Alpha since 2012, WTF would you know about it?

This is no where as bad as in Eve. Pvp areas there have, moon mining, much better NPC rewards. better PI, exclusive ships and industry compared to High Sec. Players actually live there. Here we have Epriton, artifacts and noralgis, no one is living or will live on beta/gamma the way this game is balanced.

Anni: I think you are from a different universe tbfh.

Rewards do not incentivize the Safety-First Class of players to leave Alpha and move to Beta/Gamma. I believe it's well established that in MMOs like this (at least EVE) the vast majority of players never leave the safe zones no matter what. And that is fine.

But, you are ignoring the needs of the Danger-Zone Class of players. Without incentives to go out to Beta/Gamma those players will simply ...FIND ANOTHER GAME.

Devs cannot ignore the Risk v Reward ("Incentives") Issue. Devs must provide better rewards for Beta/Gamma or there is no point even having a Beta/Gamma.

Often overlooked, but also being removed with this trend of removing content to fix issues...

Gamma is losing is creative building aspect with the removal of beacon terraforming.

I remember when I first started playing with gamma building how fun it was to work on a beacon plan then go out and make it. 

I don't think single tile terraforming with slope caps will tap into that creative building aspect of gamma.  People use to go out there just to build stuff, I remember Blackomens private base and even "forever alone" Hunter managed to risk stuff just to build something  interesting, and It was fun to try to crack those nuts and get in.

Its pretty demoralizing to see fun player created content get removed and nerfed to fix issues with the reward (why not fix the reward and keep the fun player created content?) as well as just removing major attractions to the game in order to balance stuff.

Ill be honest, im not excited for gamma anymore.  No creative planning and building, all the old issues with gamma remain, no reason to mine there, no reason to combat there, I don't need a base to run artifacting there (im not into artifacting luckily)

So what..people are going to drop billions of nic into some sea of mini structure spam out on gamma, with no interesting terraforming, no beacon farming, no epi?

I mean beta is boring enough seeing as the only reason to even be there is for a corporation production and epriton.  As fun as mining epi is...I feel that beta is missing something....

I really wish you guys would just bite the bullet, drop a bunch more beta islands out there (missed the bus on that one though populations thinning to the point where we have more than enough space) and get gamma right.

Even if you were to put in premade block parts and shapes that could be placed on gamma to make multi-tiered structures...Just make the premade blocks and shapes destructible...and figured out a way to consolidate structures to prevent the ugly and laggy sea of structures that plagued old gamma (why can we make alpha/beta style terminals?).  It would be a lot more interesting from a builders perspective than whats currently planned.

Why not make special beacons for beacon pits?  Make them like teleport beacons, same drop restrictions, beacon stays on the ground until all mobs die or despawn...bam issues fixed content remains.

Part of me feels this kind of *** should have been worked out prior to steam, I really hope the new players appreciate that tutorial...that's a year and a half of dev time that should have went into making the game more fun.

Can't quote from my phone but I agree completely with post 19

Honestly ive said all along epi should be on gamma otherwise beta will still be asset denial paradise
