Ladies and Gentlemen, I was testing PI today as I do on sisi. Nothing is working right now and its throwing really weird errors. Mainly all PI structures are deleted and new structures cant be anchored. Interested I tried to find these deleted PI strucutes. I opened the Overview settings and I see.

Some Weird Stuff

Planetary Interaction

  • Capsuleer Bases
  • Mercenary Bases


I am assuming Capsuleer bases are the space side of an elevator and the mercenary base is the planetside of the elevator. Planetary Seige stuff maybe?

Orbitals

  • Orbital Construction Platform
  • Orbital Infrastructure
  • Test Orbitals


Orbital Construction Platforms sound to me like some sort of Construction block to make other orbitals with. i.e. Construction platforms build Orbital Infrastructure.

Orbital Infrastructure may be something like the current Planetary Customs Office. Maybe we get tax free shipping if we conquer a planet and invest in orbital stuff or some such.

Test Orbitals is some sort of testing thing, unfinished item or something.





Let the wild speculation begin Cool

Orbital construction platforms need to go up and then upgraded to POCO'. During this process you can't anchor 'cos someone is already doing it on that planet.

And the ones that were there didn't get "deleted", they got exploded.

As for the DUSTY bits floating around, no idea. I'll go with your guess. Smile

Nullsec democracy is an oxymoron. Bloc voting for alliance candidates is Democracy for Morons 101. Let them perish in their self-interest.

PI is tedious enough without forcing us to manage the Dust 514 stuff as well, are CCP really planning on making PC players do all the horrid micro-management and grinding while Dust 514 just buy a game once and then play the full thing whenever they like? That'd be the last straw for me for certain, CCP desperately need to release Dust 514 as an expansion otherwise It's just going to be a crappy exclusive no one but bored PS3 players with too much money will play.

I can picture it now:

"Squad 1, your primary is the control point over by that warehouse"

"f u noob I'm going to get kills so I can upgrade my suit"

"Don't go fighting those tanks wtf are you doing? Stupid noob!"

"Im a pro gtfo u noob"

*squad 1 dies moments later because the people they were fighting spent money on overpowered tank cannons because CCP threw game balance in the bin favouring paying money to win instead*

"u suck, Im leaving"

And this is how Dust 514 will die, don't say I didn't warn you.

"don't get us wrong, we don't want to screw new players, on the contrary. The core problem here is that tech 1 frigates and cruisers should be appealing enough to be viable platforms in both PvE and PvP."   - CCP Ytterbium

I wildly speculate that 'Test Alliance Please Ignore' have usurped the orbitals before it even goes live.

I'll rebuild it for you.



Putting together PI makes me happy for some reason. I have 6 maxed out planets producing absolutely nothing.

This and this might help.

And to Valei - if that happened in a match, I would have the offending player kicked from the match. Helps when you have access to a key that can remotely deactivate individual clones.
