[Asteroid Nerf question?]

We have found that in some place in the game ore was over abundant with "unclearable" fields. These fields are game breaking and making the economy completely unbalanced. Last night we did a temp fix to make the fields have less ores. When we release the December patch we will be fixing the ore fields. This is not permanent just temporary quick fix. Mobs were not changed at all with this patch.

Thanks,

David

I'm glad this solved the unbalanced economy. Oh wait...

I actually prospected a lvl 2 identified AA a couple weeks ago (aa Bahtu To Ne), not the best device in the world, it has "See cloaked" as its only buff. Will those already identified ones also be removed?

That won't help to address the issue that mining groups typically face, that the sheer volume of loot messages - "Doodle has mined 6 units of unobtanium" - scrolling across makes group chat useless. I don't believe anyone is having a problem identifying the source of the message, simply that the value-add of the message isn't there when compared to the deleterious effects of the message quantity.

Heck, even when not grouped it's amazing the backlog of messages that can build. If I'm out mining alone, say in Glenn, and just hammering away at those gas fields I'm generating a LOT of messages. The volume is then exacerbated by the byproduct of having Explore already maxed - as the system then tells me the Explore XP has been converted to Trade/Combat XP. It's common for that backlog of messages to continue scrolling for 10 minutes or more AFTER I've docked. I don't consider this a serious problem, mind you, simply pointing out how easy it is to generate large message volumes.

I think there's more value in combat groups where there may be a need to know who's looted what.

Ever mindful of what can and can't be modified with the Emulator I'm not jumping up and down over this by any means. Had we the ability to use our hindsight coupled with Mr. Peadbody's Wayback Machine I could see where perhaps a "group loot" channel might have existed which would allow group members to enable/disable their viewing.

True. How about loot and manufacture info going to the system messages chat-window instead? If possible of course.

Instead of removing loot chat info, isn't it better to just make it a different font than group chat? Im sure that can probably be done with simple ini hacking, I haven't looked much into it tho.

Feel free to do the same with lvl 9 devices gained from roids aswell, now that you have removed them from spawning in roids. I'm talking about raid only lvl 9 device drops gained from prospecting like lets say White Lightning' etc.

Edit: lmao for the bad rep, guessing people with said unobtainable items wants to keep their unfair advantage.

Not really x-masy related but lvl 40-50something chavez spawns in non-RD zones with good respawn that awards RD-faction scaled on their level (maybe something around 20-30 pr kill?) would be awesome to have.
