What pulled us back into mining when we thought we were out for a while?

Thorsten LeimannLead Systems Designer, EU PU team

One of the main aspects was actually the community feedback that we received. And that was pointing out that we were lacking some content, especially for bigger groups. And the mining in our multi-crew mining ship wasn't fun anymore and there wasn't a real challenge, even though we thought back then that mining could be in particular situations, especially for new players, a bit more challenging. We learned the quick way that we were a bit off with our assumptions there, and that basically made us rethink some of the decisions we made with mining. It basically sent us back to the drawing board, not on the actual gameplay or the main gameplay that you are seeing, but more on the balancing side. So basically the mining that you will find now in 3.19 is not comparable to the mining that you knew from 3.18 and before.
