I like it is also optional so current Corporations won't have to suffer. It will definitely bring some challenge [...]. You will now be able to adjust more options regarding difficulty settings, upon starting a new corporation and some of them on the fly, such as the ability to move a building for a fee, construction refund for buildings, quest rewards, assignment time and many more which you will have to discover yourselves soon. Things will now evolve very slow and balance might turn red in a second if you don't pay much attention to it. You will have to take things slow literally and expand with caution because overproducing of goods isn't always good.One thing some of you might not like will be the increased maintenance costs among your corporation so make sure you have a top notch income. Losses will be around 10% among your current corporations, taken from your total revenues. Add that to the total expenses and see how things will evolve. But don't worry updating the difficulty settings will be fully optional. Certain features might require a better explanation to why they were implemented in a way or another, or missing from the game.The part I enjoyed the most was the assignment time for quests, some of them turning in quite a challenge now, especially the ones from the conflict zones. Another feature I liked was the maintenance fee for paused production buildings. Last but not last you can discover yourselves in the pictures bellow. All I can say about test is that I feel overwhelmed with happiness since the day I joined in. Didn't encountered any technical difficulties with the installation and testing.People behind the testing, fans, community and developers alike, were nice, helpful and very kind. I would like to thank you all for giving me the chance to meet you, exchange ideas and help improve the game, although I was a bit silent in the conference and I'm looking forward more chances to throw a look upon upcoming patches and content and exchange more ideas. I would also like to thank you for listening to the community and improve this game further.
