they'll cross that bridge if it ever comes to it. but at this point in time (5/9/18) we've lost two relays in the last 5 years. and more from before then. total number lost is at 4, and i think we had more wrecks before the map rework.

i don't know what they intend to do if things ever reach a point where they need to worry about relay extinction. but whether they have a plan or not, the one thing that's worth noting is that no relay has ever been rebuilt after its been destroyed. as long as we have at least one, not really a problem. that being said... i personally don't like it. for the simple reason that its a good opening note. buisinesses usually don't make risky moves, so either we blow up all the relays but one and nothing happens after that... or we blow up all the relays and move in a bold new direction to the shock and likely nerdrage of all the players who thought "there's no way they can do that." either way, the only difference is that im harshly dissapointed in them if they don't take steps. but im far more critical about it if they do, and players freak out because they don't want to accept their actions have consequences.

personally, i've wanted to get into video game design my whole life. but truthfully, the games i am motivated to design would be loathed by this current generation. mmo's with slow leveling, gearing and developement, set in a harsh game environment that forces individual skill by requirement, and team unity by necessity. probably something like what you'd get if From Software, Bethesda, Sword Coast and Ubisoft all collaborated on EA's platform.

...hm, i just had a premonition. that statement is going to cause massive salt to many people, and i'm going to have a bunch of angry self-entitled trolls attack in great force and number. i should know better, people can't handle it when they have to think about things they try so hard to avoid or destroy rather than face. but don't worry, i know that most of us are better than that. this parts just for the ones that aren't.

may DE long rule over Space Ninja video games. its a tough niche to work with in any case hehe.
