i totally agree with DARK hws 7 is mainly for big factions with their wealth and the working class noob finds it hard to get on in the game, it should have just stayed meteors instead of surface gold BUT you can not go back to just meteors now as no working class noob will never compete with the wealthy, as they say in uk you make your bed you sleep in it hahahah good luck rex lol
They may have wealth, but they do have their limits. It only takes one well determined individual to disrupt operations…

hello taco, yes but not many groups out there and trust me if you take down a tower or 3 or even wipe them off GG, you wouldn’t even put a dent in their wallet lol
You don’t need to dent the wallet, resources are easy to obtain either through purchasing or mining. Only need to dent is their pride; demoralization is a bigger blow than loss of finances in wartime. Both are important, however the loss of moral in the troops is harder to combat even with adequate funding.

I cant comprehend the rush for resources incl. gold. Most in the large factions have more resources than they’ll ever use. Thats pointless, grinding/waste of life stuff IMO. They’ll get bored and leave before they even use 1/10th of their OCDs.
Gold was too plentiful last season. Some factions with 100s mills - even bills can now just spam garage ships at their enemies - yawn. There is still lots of fun to be had in this game even for those of us 2070 hours in. Its more fulfilling though to try out different aspects / origins / gameplay styles.

It’s not really about the gold, at least not for the vets - it is about creating a PvP hotspot. Sure, it’s nice to have millions upon millions of credits, but once the gold fever wears off it is back to PvP.
My primary goal right now is changing the PvP meta into something more challenging. Right now it is too easy for people to build massive SV/HVs that can fight for 10 minutes and then … leave.
What are your thoughts? Please provide support or constructive feedback.
the only thing is its a big faction or wealthy faction game, i dont think its noob friendly or balanced between the rich and the noob lol as i seen today a couple of peeps quit,which was sad to see when they were taken out by a massive pvp cv against a empyrion bp cv lol and they only wanted a couple of the rare resources lol a couple of days playing just to loose it all in 2 minute battle lol so sad to see them leave.i say abolish ocd and wipe everyone money lol back to the grind everyone starts on par lol hehehehehe that would be fun lmao
I fully agree, these massive armored bricks and cubes are
a) ugly
b) takes forever to bring one down. If he is about losing he can easily escape.
This is not only valid for SV/HV but also CV. CVs should be limited to size one in PVP.
I fought a HV in my SV that had already been a few fights. Lost all my guns, flew back, replaced the guns and came back and finished the HV off. It was a good fight, but at the same time it dies give the SV the advantage.
Thats exactly why HVs are pointless on GG if you dont belong to ACM or RED with 5876567 repair bases that Rex refuses to grant to single players and small factions.
I can bring throw-away miners and Warp-SVs or a combat SV for some tackling, but real PVP is only possible for the major factions owning bases on GG and having 6398567 members to protect them 24/7.

In war numbers will always win. Do not expect things to be fair in a pvp hot spot. Rex has already made things fairer for small factions vs large factions. Be quick, be nimble and be creative.
Actually I use about 30 to 60% of my OCD every season (I have OCD 6)
There are 30mil CV’s and 15 Mil SV’s… that is 45… which is half of the 100m I average a season… for two ships. I think you all have these delusions that all hard core PVP’ers are like Oprah rich. I know most of the wealthiest people on HWS… I have only met TWO that had the 700m for OCD7. Neither of them are on NA either. And neither of them did it mining gold. They did it through trading/banking. Which no PVP’er has control over.
@Daddystu I’m with you in most cases and caught allot of heat for it when I supported the concept for Hacking OCDs, OAMs, etc. Even listening in to the conversations of the people who have these massive amounts of gold ingots and such makes it sound like they have more than they need. I will say this though, most of those that have massive amounts of everything are also storing things for others so it’s not all theirs.
- They use their OCD 6+ to store Gold etc. for allies
- At the beginning of each season they withdraw a large portion(likely 50% or more for many)
- Garage Ships periodically to stay competitive
- End of season grind to get ready for next season
That’s really the process they go through every season in the big factions, though arguably each season those factions get a bit richer from having more people getting more effective at grinding and having more stored from previous seasons, so there’s that too. Even so, I understand where they are coming from in their love for their OCD storage and the rush for gaining dominion over the resources to make the end of season grind less grindy.

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh but you forget about your bank interest you rolling in it hahahaha
So your problem isn’t with PVP’ers now your problem is with Donators? Or are you saying that you and the insanely rich traders don’t get interest?
no problem with no one lol just the crazy gold surge of mining GG surface and making the big factions rich but as rex tried to over come all this wealth by only putting gold meteors and no mineable surface BUT the damage has been done as rex brought back mineable surface, i just sat wipe the whole server and every one start with no ocd and no money hehehehehehe then you can call it a GAME when every one starts the same after every wipe there will be alot of tears as peeps will lose loads lol but hay its only a game even server catch viruses lmao

Last season the situation was more fair for everybody as it was possible to farm on GG during the low traffic hours without auto-destruction by the big veteran factions.
As the mining window is now only from 5pm to 11pm it is much more easy for the big factions blockading everybody. Its another kick of Rex into the face of single players, small factions and new players on HWS who try to get their share of the gold.
Today the major exploiter factions sent 6 garage ships on my small cute HV… how rude !
Hey, what happens ?
Thanks for reminding me for this nice Academy ! 
@Scorp - how many newcomers are you trained ?
So basically you are an anarchist that just wants to watch it all burn since you are not super rich. Check.
