I think the decision to limit us to NQ built markets is the first mistake. There is no social element to the markets. People just land, crash inside the million parked ships, run to the terminal and then run home.
The other complete immersion killer is that markets on all planets look exactly the same.
For me the smartest move to create community feeling within the game is to scrap all the faceless NQ hubs and open player markets -
For me it is being given a blank environment and manipulating it into something that could only ever exist due to your own imagination and escapism. This goes for building, fighting, economy, community, competition, friendships and rivalry. Imagine none of it ever existed, what changes that may have made to our real lives as they are now. This game and many others like it embed themselves in our psyche inexorably so that no matter the outcome we will all be some small part of how it ever existed at all.

Ignore the tutorials if they are not working, you won't learn much about anything that you cannot learn with a few questions to other players. There are some minor rewards but for the time it takes you could have already mined a million bucks by yourself on any other planet or moon. I still have no idea why new players are dumped on sanctuary. The lag is terrible at the hub when you start, the mining is worthless and there are almost no impressive structures or player interactions to get you into the game. I was pretty close to giving up on the game after the first three days on that cursed moon. Go to Alioth and stop wasting time there. I truly think it is a mistake to put new players there for their first experience of the game.

i noticed this also. It's actually not even round, kind of cut off at the sides with pixelation

I've had more than my share of words already in this thread. I have no reason to fall out with anyone personally here. We are all the same type of people in the end, or at least, all came here looking for the promise of the same type of game. I've said my piece. You'll hear no more from me about this expansive topic. I am content to watch things happen in whatever direction the community pushes most strongly as a collective.

It's not about me wanting DU my way, it is about me wanting DU.. period..
Then stop setting such a constant example for being negative about the developers.
You are a role model for new players. Use it wisely if you want 'DU....period' -

Its very primitive, divisive concept (yet somehow ultra-popular between more "positive-minded" players), that people who more or less "behave" themselves are good for game/true playerbase and those who not (in different aspects of critics) -- are like only dreaming for its failure day and night, totaly not even playing.
Reality is far more complicated grey area.
Like some mega-vocal simp silently quit (to never be seen again), and grumpy-endless-posts guy still playing, even invited couple of friends. Who, in reality, speaking in your terms, are more useful for game and its continuation?
Also, speaking of examples, I think contributing factor of negativity here, that people like to fight not with ideas/opinions (by counter-arguments) but attack each other personaly (even if little bit masked way, like you do, Burble, with Blaze).
I am not attacking anyone personally. Not masked or openly. I am describing a behavioural pattern that is both ineffective and harmful if we want the game to continue.
What you perhaps don't understand is that I agree with many of the problems that need to be fixed for the future. But I am not going to spend my time constantly shouting about it on the forum. That does not help the game. NQ does not listen here because majority of feedback by now is abusive and disrespectful, that is obvious. So the only thing that shouting on this forum achieves is turning away new players. New subscriptions = game continues.
If you want to call me a fanboi, or 'simp' as the kids are now saying, then fine. I am not that, but I do not mind the personal attack.

Yeah, that will certainly be better for the game
Giving them flak for Bad decisions is as valid and good as giving them kudos for doing good stuff
There is a big difference between respectfully calling out mistakes and constantly looking for reasons to drag the developer's name through the mud.
Look at the big picture. If you love the game:
-help new players get started-advertise what is good about it
-be open about what is bad but do not constantly throw it in the spotlight
-DO throw what is good about the game in the spotlight
-Have an attitude towards the developers that says 'thank you for what you have done so far. If you want my feedback please ask'
NoRezevations earlier in the thread says they are staying here to warn new players about what is bad about NQ and this game. To me that is not constructive and it is not indicative of a person who loves the game and wants to see it continue.
You Alpha tagged people are the role models for how the general public will treat the game and the developers. If you cannot at least behave with some decorum and maturity then absolutely no one else will. -

Called freedom of speach/expression.
Why you still here too? You can make another topic about racing or something, if not enjoying this elite club of delopment analytics.
Fair question mate. I will probably get tired of this forum as will everyone else who wants the game to continue. Then it will be a forum full of an endless cycle of pointless rhetoric that NQ doesn't listen to and the active players don't listen to. Maybe that is almost what it already is.
-
So I ask yet again. Why are you still here? Just to make sure everyone else agrees with your opinion?
I think you are here because you feel butthurt that you dumped some backing money and didn't get exactly what you want.
It is not some altruistic community service to warn new players of the truth. If you were caring about others, you (the collective nay-sayers) would go away and stop constantly ruining the vibe here.
This behaviour is like having a partner that lies to you. What you are doing is telling them you love them and will give them another chance to stop lying while constantly telling them and everyone else that they can't do it.
'You're a liar and you cannot stop. You're a liar and you cannot stop. You're a liar, a liar and you cannot stop. I love you and I will give you the chance to get better. You're a liar.' -
Your way of looking at it coupled with the very vocal and regular announcements of it are actually contributing to the outcome you say is inevitable.

I appreciate what you are saying and the way you have written it. I have been following these forums for a year or more now before becoming a subscriber. At times I considered not bothering just because of the forum negativity. I am glad I did because the game is fun if you like building and creative outlets.
If what you are saying is true, that people do love the game and care about it, then I wish people would stop turning away potential subscribers.
What I see from most people is immature and disrespectful behaviour.
'I didn't get what I wanted from the game so I am going to make special effort, even take time out of my real life, just to further damage a new developer's reputation before they have a chance to reach full potential.' -

Boring? Well, I don't think any of the disgruntled complaints are meant to entertain anyone. Perhaps if NQ actually listened in the first place, then people wouldn't sound like broken records, and it wouldn't be "boring."
Usually when someone is obviously not listening to me I take the hint and stop talking.

This thread was not a respectful request to reposition the ideas box Blaze. Pull the other one mate. It was yet another, hardly even veiled, insult at the way a company does their business. It's just so unbelievably boring to keep seeing this fashion of:
'look how bold I am that I openly insult the company on their own forum. I'm such a straight talking, badass, computer game nerd. If they would only let me dictate the future of the game it would stand a chance. But alas, they are all ignorant'
I know the peanut gallery here has seen it all for too long and are never going to be satisfied with what NQ does, I get it. But it is boring. It detracts from all the people's enjoyment who are quite happy with the game and are also happy to let a company do what they want. Maybe I am old fashioned, but when I was a gamer you bought a game in a box from the shop on floppy disc or later CDROM. You didn't get to complain and dictate how the developer should do things. You either liked it, or you put it in the cupboard and learnt your lesson.
It's really simple. If I enjoy the game, I play it. If I do not enjoy it...I stop playing it.
All this corrosive, entitled behaviour is so amazingly boring by now. Posturing about 'how the game is going to fail' because they 'didn't listen to me, John Smith, the computer games design master typing from his bedroom' . I am not having a go at you personally Blaze, got nothing against you at all. I'm just tired of this horseshit attitude from a large section of this forum.
It's just boring. I've only been here a few months and I find it incredibly tedious to see every day.
I am absolutely not surprised that the people actually developing the game ignore us here.- OrionSteed and admsve

Absurd speculation at a most probably harmless reorganisation of forum assets.
What is even the point of this thread?

player created inventory folders please!

Well, seeing as you are providing almost the only positive input to the forums right now I feel you can do whatever you want and are very welcome

Hey mate, I also have a bunch of keys that cannot seem to be mapped, it's not just you. would be useful in a few cases to be able to customize them.

Hey there! D4nkknight here from D4nkworks Shipwrights. I have been keeping a close eye on this for over a month now, fantastic work! My racing division may have already reached out to you, looking forward to designing a racer to compete there at your track! Can't wait to see a proper racing league develop in game, networking all the folks building courses and hosting races at various locations throughout the game. Keep up the great work! If you need anything or have questions feel free to reach out to me on discord! Dank#9076 ?
Thanks Mr Dank for the kind offer. I think we are all excited to see what you would dream up for racing down here. I really love to see what everybody designs. Was watching Wadiss fine tune his racer just now, what a cool game.

You could do this of course. You are free to edit the ship to your liking when you have the blueprint
In the video you said you wished the storage lockers were functional. Was offering a possible solution for that.
