I did nexus a couple of days ago and a reasonable amount of it seems targeted at solo play.
I'm glad that the team seems to be putting in group content with the support drone device but would you think about early game missions that require a drop and the mission AI only drops 1x of the item, eg. the maggot cloacae and flylet archbreeder? IMO missions with single drop boss item requirements aren't as group-friendly as they could be.

EDIT - NEVERMIND THIS: Coincidentally I see devs just addressed same question in the suggestions forum viewtopic.php?f=3&t=62989

BTW where do we ask the Q/A questions for future blogs at? I thought there was separate form for that, but not sure so Ill ask it here:

Q. Are there plans before steam release to revamp item/inventory structure, especially for Combat or Recon classes that have barely any hull space. Currently it's close to impossible for a new player to level up playing those classes since its impractical for them to save up gear from drops due to hull space limitations.


Background:
It seems like most people level up with Fleet or Support, then only switch later to Combat or Recon after they are established. Part of this due to these other classes having no room to scoop any gear up to save and build resources/gear/credits which is essential and is really a disincentive to leveling up a char with these classes.

For what its worth I thought the one idea a long time ago that was proposed to simply give all ships a "cargo hold" of a specified amount that could only be used for scooping things, not for equipping things or for using items from, was among the better solutions to this problem.

As far as I am aware, if two people kill a boss that drops a mission item they both need, two will drop. That's how Mission Items work, from what I recall. Is this not the case? Have they only been dropping one despite more than one player being present?

How significant is the X gear nerfs stats wise? it won't mess up any setups will it?

We felt like this was unnecessary cluttering of drop tables as well as making KD builds more annoying than they really should be for no reason.

Thank you for getting rid of unnecessary factory stage of KD builds. I would like if t20 and t21 modules got the same treatment in one way or the other.
