Removal of alien core for recycle purposes

I agree - make alien cores harder to get. That said, I don’t agree with nerfing recycle so that it doesn’t return alien cores - people paid to keep Recycle 5 to keep it just for that purpose.

That said, it does feel like people are hoarding alien cores. I think if we focus on making PvP changes, to the point where people actually stand a chance of losing their alien cores this will help solve the problem. Afterall, part of the problem is that alien cores are not being lost in combat and that is due to the “easy mode” environment we are in where we can build 7k block style ships that can tank a base.

If we build an environment where people stand a chance of losing their cores it will do the following:

  1. They will not be as likely to bring them in PvP, keeping them in PvE which means they will have less impact on gameplay (other than fusion cost).

  2. People will start losing them, forcing them to start taking from their stock or buying new ones.

Go to this thread, and let us start developing a PvP meta where we actually stand a chance of losing something.
