Hey, why not put a container hub on the front of the storage lockers that links to a hidden cargo box?

internet was going real slow and one of the spy bird boxes loaded elements in before honeycomb, giving us a glimpse into the interior of this controversial device. Seems like a lot of fuss over a PB and a sensor.

when poor connection help you to learn the mysteries of the universe ?

It's still not anywhere near as serious as people think. I'm not defending anyone, or any NQ choices. But this is just getting way out of proportion. From the way it appears, every single player in here has just finally purchased their warp beacon schematic after years of gruelling labour and now the game is ruined for everybody. It sucks that a small handful of people feel like what they achieved has been minimised. But the warp beacon schematic thing is really no where near as bad as people want to believe. There is no way that he is going to find 100 people with 400 million to blow on a schematic.

Although with that money they will lose interest in the game far sooner than someone who has to work for what they want. It's basic psychology, when something is too easy it becomes unattractive. I would bet that 80% of those schematics remain in a container somewhere for the rest of their life.

Exactly as shown in the screenshot. I wasn't suggesting 8mil. But 50% is still a huge bargain. It's a cup half empty or half full scenario now as we move forward from the market issue.

Thanks Naunet, it was fun. The track is there for anyone who wants to use it for whatever fun they can think of. Any ideas or issue please feel free to contact me. I am enjoying the game because, for what I expected from it, it delivers very well. There is a VR spot: Melanuma Super Speedway Hope to see you soon

Why not ask the guy with 112 to sell you one cheap? I'm pretty sure that is what he will be offering. Consider it black market.

Love the time lapse of the building, give a small idea of the effort that goes into such a project. She looks fierce.

Seems it still needs a bit of tweaking, the left most M engine flickers on and off between clear and 5% obstructed (without anything changing weirdly) . But it is almost there

nope, but only due to the design of the rear wing

yes please

Instead of this: Could we have the ability to create this within the inventory?

Dunno about anyone else, but for me ship building is 20 mins placing all the elements and then days or weeks of honeycomb work to make her look how I want. Pilot talents and higher quality engines mean you don't need to stack hundreds in to make her function. But getting the honeycomb just how I want it, that can take longer than I would even use the ship for in the end! For me that's why this space lego game is so fun. What I mean to say is, building a ship that you like the look of is not limited by the mechanics of the game. It is difficult and it takes time and effort and more than anything, practice. GarbageKnight, send a picture to yourself or to a friend on discord and then copy the link. Discord also acts as a free image host:

I know it is a pita to do, but if you really had to...you know you can quickly and accurately place elements in exact positions using the 3 axis grid references in build mode? Yeah, it's a lot of work I know, but it is quite methodically possible to get every element transferred exactly in place.

Could be that the server load with the an insane amount of voxels is so large that also logging separate ID's for every item in the game is not done to save the server. Could also be that NQ wanted a certain amount of high level items to be on a black market basis and have intentionally created the illegal trade avenue with this move. just random thoughts.

Lethys, Deintus, I'm not against your viewpoints. I definitely have no urge to get into any keyboard warrior antics. I see all the same things as you do. Have been gaming on and off since windows 3.1 Just prefer to either sail the boat I am in with my best effort. Or jump out and swim to shore without looking back. Staying on board just to watch/gloat over the boat sinking seems like a waste of precious time.

I have only been playing for 3 months or so. And I also get it mate, you don't enjoy the game anymore. So, please don't take this with any feeling other than I am genuinely asking because I don't understand.... why are you still on this forum ? What are you and a variety of others doing here other than helping to turn away new players with your obvious displeasure at the product they are previewing?

Aaron, please tell me you were not trying mining on Sanctuary? And yes, that is what I was saying mate, you can find another profession that is more interesting if you don't want to mine grind your way to the first few million. If you are not getting your daily quanta then that needs to be fixed. I'm not rich in the game by any means but I would happily front you the money to build a decent hauler. I'll even build one for, tokenize it and you can pay it back after 30 mins of mining on Alioth. Deintus, Warp engines are a few steps further, but hauling a few hundred tonnes with ease? Sure. Let's see here: I have priced up a space capable hauler with 128,000L capacity. I have not built this exact model but I'm pretty sure it will have acceptable performance. Based on best current market prices Dynamic core S - 6000 Command seat controller - 5,000 Atmos fuel tank S x 4 - 10,000 Space fuel tank S x 2 - 6,000 Adjustor S x 10 - 2,000 Space engine S x 4 - 12,000 Space engine M x 2 - 26,000 Atmos Engine M x 2 - 30,000 Atmos Engine L x 2 - 160,000 Wing M x 6 - 90,000 Stabalizer S x 2 - 6,000 Space Brakes M x 3 - <10,000 Atmos Airbrake M x 5 - 10,000 Hover Engine M x 5 - 10,000 Hover Engine L x 4 - 52,000 Container M x 2 - 80,000 Container hub - 7,000 Tier 1 honeycomb 40 cubic meters - 15,000 total cost - 600,000 quanta Add in a negligible overhead for a full fuel load. Nitron you can make with surface rocks in your space pants. Even without doing anything at all other than claiming your log in bonus that is only 4 days 'work'. I think the spec for this build is generous for what it needs. Let's imagine that this hauler can only carry half the container capacity before crashing is too much of a risk: 64,000L of T1 ore with silly old bots in action again now is an instant income of ~ 1,600,000 You don't even have to wait for someone to buy it... Mining any random unclaimed hex on Alioth will fill 64,000L within 1 hour or you are doing something wrong. 1.6mil can build you a new hauler with more than double the budget of the first one. Like GraXXor said. No one has any excuse for being poor in the game right now.

I don't know if I can address all of what displeases you about the game. But I can definitely say that 'only being able to afford crappy engines' is a complete fallacy. Even as a brand new player it should take no more than a couple of decent sessions to mine and earn yourself a reasonable crappy hauler. A few more sessions filling her up should earn you enough to start building a decent 300-400t hauler. Filling her up should only take a couple more sessions and you've got some millions to play with. I know mining is boring, but we cannot expect to start a game like this and be warping around the universe within a few hours. This is even just as a solo player, starting with the Nq speeder, without even looking for any co-operative gameplay (MMO?) or any other more creative ways to get some funding for your better engines. Failing that, pay someone a little extra to bring you what you need or hire a taxi service. Damn, find me in game and I'll run you over to whatever planet you need to visit to get you back on your feet.

Umi, I'm sorry this has happened to you. I don't know how to fix it other than NQ gives you billions of quanta for recovery? But I don't think that would make you happy. If a rollback to before the mistake was really the only thing that would keep you playing then I vote for it, even if it would suck to lose a few days gaming. I would start from scratch on everything rather than kick out a person I would love to see enjoying the game. Having the riches you could have earnt with the warp beacons is not what would keep you playing. It was the goal of achieving it that kept you playing. It was in fact the grind towards an amazingly difficult goal that kept you interested, not the eventual quanta you might have earned now and then. I would love to help, if there is anything you can think of. I certainly think NQ should pay for their cock up to players in your position. You raise good points and I get them Deintus. Especially my paradox about claiming to keep it light followed by that statement I made. I would counter point you by saying that 'angry people' do not very often give 'helpful suggestions'. We are both rocking the oxymoron. I am not PRO or ANTI NQ. I am PRO Dual Universe. And what will keep it open and available are players paying subscriptions. This forum is exactly the opposite of what I would see bringing more players to keep Dual Universe running. The Self Fulfilling Prophesy. Wanting something to fail because it displeases me, in which case I send out waves of proof that it is failing even before that is the truth. If it then fails, was it the game or was it the people who wanted it to fail?

I'm just trying to keep the mood a bit light. The forum here is so fkin dark all day. It is not representative of the total player base. I see positive interactions every day in the game and people having fun. But just look down this forum and there are endless threads where players are telling (if not outright demanding) that NQ design the game the way they have figured it all out. It's embarrassing how arrogant the forum shows us to be right now. If I was the developer I would never look here again. Mistakes happen, it is only a game. If someone seriously wants to quit, then go for it. I'm sad to see a player leave and I'm sad that a player ended with a sour taste. Self fulfilling prophesy. That is all that can be achieved from 90% of what happens on this forum.

You could tell him that you know a guy with 112 of them going cheap ?

I believe that entirely Dreejl. I also think you might understand how getting everything too easily will ruin the game for you. The question is more for everyone to answer to them self privately and honestly.
