I hope your suggestions about infinite ammo/energy here will never happen, survival game is about managing ressources, it will kill all the strategic part of this already broken alpha.
Iād rather like waiting for the devs to balance devices and find solutions, or the OP back instead of your above solutions.
Perhaps when party A attacks party B they shouldnāt be allowed to spawn back at their home. Someone should have to come and get their body or pack. Or perhaps have there is a serval hour delay in the spawning. With the delay increasing with each death. If this is a Survival game and youāre allowed to run home to mommy you get killed doesnāt seem to have a place. There is too little value placed on the characterās life. As long as he or she can re-spawn back a home base or where ever a clone devise is placed and that person has multiple ships/weapons/ammo there is no incentive to SURVIVE.
if u need to manage your resources in empyrion with autominer, u must be the worst survivor on planet or in this case in the whole galaxy. i didnt have to collect a single ore since lvl 10 AM, getting richer while playing other gamesā¦
Iām trying to let the āSneak peakā flow through my mind and see what it leaves behindā¦
ā¦i like it, i like the way it has been āprensentedā (Yeah, the DNA shit is really nice! I like shit! ā¦Ehmā¦), i like the Dynamic fingerprint of the whole project, but that means that āStatic playā is not possible anymore.
This version of HWS needs to you bring money home, just like real life, and i canāt take a break from the game without having to do some āworkā to survive.
Right now iām in that phase, iām taking a break from Empyrion and with HWS 3.0 i can do itā¦my only concern is to login once at week and power ON/OFF my ships/base so that the game doesnāt clean them for the āShip not visitedā timer.
With HWS 4.0 i canāt do it anymore, iāve, at least, to JUMP from a system to another, that means iāve to find the pentaxid to make the jump, or i can live on the FACTION planet, but i need XXX credits to pay the ārentāā¦so i need to sell stuffā¦that mean i have to PLAY the game.
That i the biggest CONS of this versione, according to me. The server is full PvP even if with a Round Robin algorithm.
are you for real? or just trolling? if you are for real you better check your head to see if evrything is well in thereā¦

Rex I have a suggestion!
Currently with Gold fed being the only place that spawns any gold, not to mention a lot. Itās keeping other planets from being visited as often, so itās either pve or go to gold fed for some pvp.
Also gold fed ruins it for traders. We arenāt all santas that like to help the server out, we really just want to be rich. Why mine anything else if you can mine gold?
Then youāll have traders that only mine gold and buy stuff, but who is left to actually mine the resources? According to the trader faction description traders are supposed to be focused on this.
Personally I and a few others realized this and only mine gold now.
My suggestion is to spread the gold to drop occasionally over multiple planets. This way you fix both mentioned issues.
Yeah i was sure that something like that would be incomingā¦so, lets put it that way:
I play on HWS for 2 months i got my CV, my Faction and everything is fine. In december my brother give me as a present āXCOM 2ā and iām like āWOW! I waited for this game for years!!!āā¦i take my laptop and install itā¦i start playing itā¦iām enjoing it and all i want to do during my āfree timeā is to kill some alien bastard, but ehy! Wait a moment, youāve to play Empyrion!!! Youāve to make the XXX credits needed for the rent!!! Stop playing XCOM, you started Empyrion and you will die playing it!!!
I can go onā¦but, while iām sure that Thranir will not give up the fight until the last carebear is alive, i hope that other ppl can understand my point of view.
Iām sorry to say this but this is completly stupid. You play a game or you donāt.
Empyrion is not a multiplayer like for example a hack and slash where only your character/inventory data are stored on the server.
When you donāt play itās ok you are not killing the ressources of the server, and you donāt create lag for others players.
But for empyrion, all your structures will cause lag and take some ressources from the server due to rendering etcā¦so if youāre not playing the game, never ask an admin for that kind of thing.
For the server to work, the players base should be mostly active, or we will end up like before with planets full of unused structures -> bad performance. So if you want to keep some stuff, 1 connection per week seems a minimum, or if you canāt play the game for any reason, thatās your pb, not Rexās pb. (you still have the OCD btw)
Sorry Whitesage but your predicament does sound very niche to you, meaning that things wouldnāt change just to sort out your gaming dilemma.
Had a bit of a giggle tbh, would be nice to jump into 3 games at a time and have it all but iām afraid that is only possible in a special mode called
single playerā¦
good luck with your arrangements though, looks like some real tough choices are going to have to be made
Oh well, i just said my point of view, i donāt have to justify why i would like to play Empyrion few hours @ week and single player games the other time (or maybe i just want to quit with videogames for a while).
Iām glad to know that you stick to one game at time and that the day that you choose to stop it, you are ok with the fact that youāll have to lose all you did.
(I play a lot of MP games and none is that way)
At least we reached the same solution:
Iām not that hardcore like you and looks like that iām the āstrangeā here.
As i said in another thread, iām ok with ālosing somethingā if the community wants something else.
What i would like to know is:
If we know that Peacekeepers gets overcrowded, why are all here saying āMan, youāre crazy, we love PvP!!!ā? Someone is lying here
You got the OCD? what more do you really need? you can store all your stuff there, and only lose your base if the server getās wiped, thats an really small lossā¦
Ok, ok, you all been really clearā¦i was asking for a single PK system, but the thing seems to not be glad to the community.
Iām really ok with that, i love democracyā¦as you suggest, iāll find another way to āsaveā my stuffā¦or as other ppl say, iāll go play singleplayer, where iām the only one in the democratic system
