0.25 DAC? So your book is basically around 4 euros? You could get rich.

I see things, I press like. Good job.

We are telling the story of the Outfit from the very beginning in our new comic book!  Introducing The Outfit - Beginnings - Episode 1

We also thought this would be a great opportunity to help advertise for the Kickstarter.  So please share freely as there are three different kickstarter ads in this episode and only ten days to go!!

Many of our members had a hand in creating this comic.  We hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Thanks Dhara, yes i think they used that quote there too, its a common one used because of the Corps.

Nice banner!  And I love that quote!  I remember it from Starship Troopers though.    

I don't know about all of you, but I wouldn't dare try to use any-kind of system like that, I would use encrypted LUA transponders to identify friendly ships

to be clear .. The Intergalactic Banking Organization would never, and I quote "sell their own mothers into slavery for substantial profits" or indeed conduct or condone any form of slave trading. But instead conduct fair and open business in the interests of prosperity and economic growth throughout the universe.
 
Although of course, we wish you the best of luck.

Ahhhh, Dual Universe's Ferengi have arrived.

I am against having Loot able DACs in game. for the following reasons.
 
1)  It is assumed that once you use it to add to your game time, its a timer, so if you know you are going to be off line for an extended time, you should have the ability to buy them when they are cheap, and hold onto them for when you need to use them.
2)  It is not IMHO emergent game play to loot these, as they have no real game world purpose so why should a character even want them?  Resources on the other hand, yes a character would desire that.
3)  This whole market crashing BS can still be done safely using the safe zones or other methods as described by GrandMasterApex.
4)  If Credits are non loot able, which has a real presence in the game, why should DACs not also be safe?  It is more emergent game play to demand the ability to loot credits.
5)  IMHO it is a better plan to resolve these complaints of hoarding, by making these items only able to be sold or traded ONCE.  This solves almost all of the legitimate complaints against keeping them non-loot able, but also lets players hold in game purchased ones till they need to use them safely.  This will also stop scams and griefing people buy luring them out to remote PVP areas with extremely low prices, to only be pounced on after they are purchased.
 
I also think it is ridiculous to be taking so much of the community's time and NQ's time discussing this now when the release of the game is 2 years out.  I would much rather have the NQ team focusing on building a great stable Alpha, and construct vs. construct combat, you know the important EMERGENT game play.
 
 Also I thought since most of the PRO loot able arguments were coming from EVE players and supporting how great it works in eve I would share the following link.
 
https://community.ev...ges-on-the-way/
 
In particular this part of it.  "The PLEX Vault will allow you to move PLEX safely throughout the universe rather than having to move it in a ship."
 
So i personally consider all "this is how it works in EVE " ETC. arguments invalid since it no longer is the way EVE works.  Also I would like to add that if it was working so well why did CCP change it and should we also then consider the why and the route they went.

Check out our new structure!  Top positions are filling up fast!

 

Well folks, after one final all-nighter, I finally have my organization and my website set up!!

Welcome Hampius!  Nice to have you aboard!

Thank you and greetings!

This is castle I'm currently building (WIP) in Minecraft. 
 

 
This is "aerial" view of my city. New castle will replace old crappy one (some day). Everything too in "constant process", so some strange things and pits can be seen.
 

 
Some buildings.
 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 
Time to stop. I hase so much of this stuff to show : ) I played MC literaly years and years.
 
But if you want to see somthing more close or detailed (and I dont lose it original, in case of more stand-alone projects), my pleasure.

I think that the biggest advantage of DU is that LM started it's existence like two years ago. Why everyone could ask? Because LM is not a successfull product (despite being fun to play around with building stuff,etc) overally and that using voxels in a MMO game is a risky thing to do when there are other mechanics to be applied apart of building itself. I think that people (including myself) that have played LM might speed up things a bit in terms of tools improvement mostly because we have already been through that - we have tested quite a lot in terms of tools usage and problems that new features were bringing when released. 
There will be many Landmark references in the future, I'm sure of that, but it can do good to DU. Besides, like Dhara_Elysande said, LM is not a competition to DU, but DU Devs might learn a lot from LM.
I'm really looking forward to meeting ingame when alpha kicks in - it shall be an interesting adventure for those next 2 years

Here is my build in progress over at Landmark on Determination/Whistling Tangle (SE of the spire).  It should be fairly obvious from the map view.
 

I love how users in this thread continue to discuss DAC's as a risk-free currency when anything you turn DAC's into immediately exposes you to risk? It's almost like they ignore it because they can't find a good way to counter my point.

are you gonna keep making polls until you get desired result, agreeing with your opinion ?

I said before, that I would agree with "Lootable DAC after 1 hour after the trade between players". Your example forced to change my mind. Choice A as before.
 
To stop "Resell" DAC must be bindable after the 1st trade. So if the player (buyer for game cash) gets DAC from another player (buyer for $$$), he has no option to sell it one more time. So as result DAC is what it need to be ONLY! Not lootable, not resellable.
 
Thanks,

^It is obvious that you simply have no answer to the objection that DAC's aren't wealth until you attempt to turn them into goods or services. Then once you do attempt to turn them into goods or services, those goods and services can be stolen or destroyed. That IS risk.
 
You won't have magical powers of monopoly over the economy, you won't be the only person buying and selling DAC's. your actions alone will NOT have an impact in the face of large orgs and the general populace. You'll spend your time mining and earning in game currency to buy DAC's to sit on just to prove a point. Meanwhile, you'll have to spend some of your resources maintaining the infrastructure you need to keep buying those DAC's be it pirate ships, traps, or just traditional industry and other players will be buying and selling DAC's like you weren't there. You simply cannot do enough damage by yourself to make this a compelling argument.
