Current Questions:
- What can you do to make the game less Pay2Win (Vodafoone)
He said they will be lowering prices in the shop (uridium and packages shop). He also said the Auction/Trade has really helped a lot to care of this issue. - What is your opinion on the botting community? (DataPlays)
He says they are trying to ban as much as they can, - Will server merging ever be possible? Why has it not already happened? (namuH)
He said it is quite difficult at the time being, not because of networking or anything code related. But rather about, if someone owns a ship on both, which gets merged and which gets deleted. Battlestations also. - Is the LF-5 rumor true?
He never heard of the rumor and confirmed it wouldnt happen. - Will you be able to buy LF-4 lasers in the shop/trade?
No. - The community has asked that you remove credits from bonus boxes, and therefor increase the chance of finding Uridium. What are your thoughts?
He was interested in this, but didnt want to make boxing/botting too efficient. A clear answer wasnt given.
I also asked if there would be an issue with ping for US players in the JP Arena (now that there is only 1 in the whole world) He said the server is on a backbone in germany, and they have tested the pings. It is no large difference.
