keep on exploring nextcolony

in #nextcolony5 years ago

I have been sending out my explorers as a dutiful @nextcolony and @dachcolony member. This does not take a lot of time but its is also not the most exhilarating experience I have ever had.

Currently I am ranked nr 61 but to be honest I have no clue how many people are actually playing. There is a top 100 ranking but not much else on how you are doing overall. There are some of the bigger accounts that are indeed taking a jump on others. If that will have a detrimental effect on playing I do not know. There was the bunker poll 4 weeks ago but since then nothing much of official updates from the @nextcolony account. @jarunik seems to be still giving out his tips which are useful though. (maybe a resteem of those on the main account?)

It would be nice to find out a bit more on how players will be able to earn some of that sweet Steem loot and how the wonders will be built...

I did find some useful websites that cater to just the kind of information that seems to be missing from the main site and game. Just thinking that if others can do this it should not be so hard to at least integrate a minimum of stats in the main page?

But the bright light is that this is still early days. We are playing a game that is totally new and the blockchain aspect gives this whole thing a totally new dimension. So I for one am patient and am looking to see where all this is headed.

Another piece of better news is that I have now discovered my 3rd planet with only 58 explorations. There are some like @revisesociology that had to wait over 100 to get one

The game seems to be still running and there is a steady trickle of new players coming in but I would dare to say that some new development is needed to put the spark back...

would you agree or do you not play?

Sort:  

Well I'm about to finally reach level 20 explorer skill so I can actually do something!

Flyyyyyy, Flyyyyy and get those planets :-)

Yes it does need a spark!

I've now found 4 planets and am about to build my first transporter, but I see little to look forward to other than clicking more buttons.

I honestly can't see how battles are going to be more lucrative than just exploring and acquiring more planets - it's irrational to pile your resources into building ships you can lose to steal 'income' from people rather than building explorers to go seek out more 'capital' - i.e. planets.

There probably isn't one stupid person playing the game, so every single one of them would have realised this.... novelty is the only reason to battle, once that's worn off, what's the point?!?

yea, I am kicking up the explorations a bit now and levelling up the transports and corvettes. maybe the battles will liven things up a bit but I guess I will be more defensive then aggressive as you are saying.
lets see how it plays out

I'll be defensive - I guess having a few corvettes lying around at first would help that!

I've settled on prioritorising levelling up the mission control skill and just building explorers!

The game may still seems new but I believe it look promising. Not like another form of drugwar bunch again

yea, and once we can get some returns it will get even better :-)

I am wondering how can I acquire ship for exploration and transportation.

level the according skill to 20 and level the shipyard to 13
then you can build the explorer

It is ok game, for now it is so easy to play it really takes no effort, just send out a few explorers and wait... wait... wait... not sure what ideas the developers have to improve the game in the future and if those ideas will work...
