Wow. Did PvP ever suck in there tonight. One hyper ftl. Sorry devs, but that was a total failure of an idea. Against a team that was balanced between MKT, hax, and snipers, I couldn't last more than two or three exchanges. Being able to last only 4 seconds in pvp sucks, especially when you have to crawl back into a construct.

That's why you only lasted 4 seconds. Also, I noticed most of the people I was pvping against were simply jumping away when they were attacked. Might of lasted longer if they hadn't of run away.
I beg to differ actually... I and several other people tonight commented that this was the most fun we'd had in MXO in ages. Large scale PVP battles with this system have been quite enjoyable.(Oh, and the patch seems to have taken a look at the CameraPhysics parameters... *grumble*)

macro Tap FTW, who taps without this macro?
I believe I should get royalties, or some sort of tribute for the macro tap idea!
The 1st night in Datamine was great. Ganking on a large scale great cq the 1st night. Now last night it was hard to get as much cq as i did the 1st time even with mkt loaded they either A.) go into master shadow as soon as they see you. or B.) hyperjump 3 times in a row. O well guess its just gonna be somethin were gonna have to deal with lol

There will be some NPCs added to the Datamine itself in a few spots for questy type stuff.

Is the $info nerf going to be at the server restart tomorrow.

If necessary to SAVE THE ECONOMY! we may have to reduce $info payout before then, but eh until that happens, enjoy the fat data loot.

Don't react to the complaints of those who will always find something to complain about. The worries about the economy are unfounded and overzealous, it'll balance out soon enough (as it always does). You know this to be true.
I figured the info would be progressively lowered to accomodate the economy and for the novelty wearing off. Don't go all screaming sirens on it just because of a few constant whines.
