Thanks OP for taking the time to put together this very informative guide. I have a quick question. I created 2 batches of 15 Redoubt Immunity Modules (Tier 1 Earpieces (blue) ) for a total of 30. I RE'd the first 15 last night and another 15 this morning and have not discovered any schematic for the next tier up (Artifact). I accept that this may simply be bad luck on my rolls but was wondering if any others are having the same poor RE vs Learned schematic ratio? or is this maybe connected with the issue with the redoubt prefix described in the known bugs and issues? I had no messages during the RE process just plain and simple returned materials. Cheers.

Absolutely agree with this OP. The zoning is consuming a great deal of time and for those people with limited game time it really impacts play. As-well as a reduction in zoning I would love to see them implement a return to ship ability with a 30 min cool down or simply add your ship to the Quick Travel locations.

I agree with your point about the low quality textures. It was one of the points I raised in my feedback at the end of the Beta. However, that aside when playing through the Beta weekend recently I was immensely impressed with the quality of the experience, and the very low number of bugs I encountered. My hat off to the devs but also to all the Alpha / Beta testers who have helped this process along. I think what we have here is an example of a great player base helping out the devs through the Alpha / Beta stages (I personally was not one of these as I only gained access in a recent Beta weekend) but it is clear that a game with this much quality developed to its current standard was likely helped along by some great player input. Well done all!

Good luck all , I guess I will be on tomorrows batch (most likely) as I purchased my pre-order early October. Really looking forward to it after having such a blast through the Beta.

Good post OP. It does seem like we European's often draw the short straw in situations like this. It would be interesting to know what proportion of the total player base is made up by the European community. Is it such a small percentage that would in some way perhaps justify (in part) their reasons behind this approach? Nonetheless I think overall they have done a great job in many respects and I am eagerly yet patiently waiting for my access to begin.

Excellent guide!. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Gives me a great feel of the Consular / Sage class and I must admit I am now very tempted to start one as a result.

Thanks for the update. Patiently waiting
