For those worried about lack of land, was shown this image which gives you a visual representation of what a 4x4 looks like from orbit on Daymar.
Pudding for thought.
I had some trepidation about this mechanic when i first heard about it and have personal experience of what a ballbreaker it can be to be on the wrong end of a land rush.
However after watching the full ATV and mulling it over for a bit i'm suddenly really pumped about how they are doing this.
Firstly anyone just running out there and just throwing down claims willy-nilly could be wasteful.
Whereas proper scouting and scanning could yield big rewards in terms of mineral/resource rich land. This adds big incentives for people like myself who are looking to focus on exploration in terms of information selling or scouting prime locations for the org.
The mechanic of having to take the chip to be authorised opens roles for data-runners and pirates for hunting said data-runners.
People who just want to farm, mine or work production just hit the motherload.
The RP opportunities with bandits and settlers are great too.
I think how the "UEE protection" and consequences of attacking these claims is handled will be really interesting to follow.
So yeah I'm really buzzing about this now.
Thoughts?
