Immediate dev response about game breaking bugs
^ wtb response. will trade sub money.
edit: empty planets, industrial commod system (no info), anni platforms/defenders, pvp in ef layer, station y's being sellable, random giant fucking suns that prevent APing or seeing anything in the galaxy, a total lack of any real response

Re: Immediate dev response about game breaking bugs
empty planets Planet gen seems normal, some planets have no commods but that is nothing new and after scanning around a few minutes doesn't seem to be a trend.
industrial commod system One of our devs is writing a blog post that will be coming up soon
pvp in ef layer I haven't seen any bug reports on this, you'll have to elaborate
station y's being sellable This will be changed shortly, but wasn't prioritized at the reset because Steel Girders will currently make a lot more money anyways. (There was a separate unforeseen issue that had to be fixed first)
random giant fucking suns that prevent APing or seeing anything in the galaxy The red giant suns do seem a bit too common, we'll probably tone down the frequency for next uni if people don't like them. I did make sure to fix the code that keeps ai bases out of suns, though in the case of red giants the interference does mean that sometimes it'll still block ap to a base.

I would assume the admins didn't actually make Stars bigger, but rather increased the physical size limits of the entities in solar systems as well as the solar system itself, which as a byproduct means bigger stars. And that means the warps on the edges of the solar systems get even further apart.

Re: Immediate dev response about game breaking bugs
Galaxies feel a lot larger. I'm seeing a lot of planets being 10k+ away from ai bases, which is annoying. 15k away from the wormhole/ai base? Okay thanks.

Re: Immediate dev response about game breaking bugs
Look at Twain for empty planets, it's pretty weird for being a random generation.

Thats more than average empty on the planets, but isn't anything gamebreaking. We probably should make sure all planets have at least something on them going forward though, I agree its a little weird that there could be no extractable metals on an entire planet.

Re: Immediate dev response about game breaking bugs
Especially heavy gravity or even the new gas giant ones. Which by the way, why aren't those showing up as anything different in scans? If I hadn't read patch notes about some new planets that can have 5 slots, nothing in game would have shown that. Unless I accidentally tried to lay more than 4 kits on a heavy grav.

Re: Immediate dev response about game breaking bugs
Also you didn't say anything about Annihilator Platforms being used this uni. As in, they were stored and carried over and used in PvP. What are your thoughts on that?

Gas Giants are normal planets that are promoted to "gas giant" status by being a heavy grav gaseous planet. If its a heavy grav gaseous planet, it will always be significantly larger than normal heavy grav planets and have 5 slots. It would probably be worth it to add slot count to scan results to make this nice and clear. I'm going to move this into Gen Discussion as its not a suggestion topic.

I actually agree with Lemon.. Alot of people anticipated that they would not decay on reset which is clever but it's also retarded. Especially when they're exploiting it!!! And my guess you will do absolutely nothing about it correct?

This especially, planets are way further out and further apart. How are you going to directly nerf supply line efficiency without telling people?
