Worst part, that even this forum/discord arguments about situation feel so meaningless...
 
Same people just repeating all same story how everything is not right and what NQ should do in ideal world (me included). Other same people repeating (to counter first part indeed) all over again same story of "this is beta", "give devs some time", "all is fine, I'm enjoying the game". Somewhere in middle personal fights ignite (because nothing new to add anyway). At this point I generaly even know names, that will be involved and roughly what they will say and how interact with each other.
 
I feel like we all prisoners of some cursed dark forest of something, just making endless rounds trying to find exit and fighting each other because of evil enchantment.

Porco for President 2021

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.

Usually when someone is obviously not listening to me I take the hint and stop talking.

Calling it crap does.

Yes, another newspaper. Feeling creative while materials smelt. 

----------WELCOME TO UTOPIA STATION----------
-----brought to you by the Utopia Spacing Guild-----
 
The future of humankind is in the stars, and we present to you the first of many steps to broaden the horizons of all Noveans.
 
The first of it's kind, a 2.6 kilometre long space station right in the middle of the safe zone. Less than 80SU from Alioth, Madis and Thades, this new commercial hub offers free access to the station's Warp Beacon and the future USG Warp Network.
 
Phase 1: The Ring, offers 4 KM of space over 192 medium space cores, ideal for shops, display rooms, factories, storage and offices.
 
Core rentals start from just 1,000,000h a month, equivalent to just 1 week of NQ pocket money. (below prices are incorrect)
 
Visit the station via VR: "Utopia Station Visitors" or request a tour via our associates discord: https://discord.gg/BUm8ceYv78
 

 
 
Phase 2: To begin construction - Central commercial 'high street' core of the station with markets & storage.

Why are people pushing for others to get punished? It is not a good way of thinking and living!
Wishing someone something bad isnt for good people, Karma will do its job, even when you dont know about it.
 
And I more think that they are just lucky and, in the end, helpfull. Let those few get an advantage and lets see how we , the majority, will overcome this with ease. Instead of bringing others down, try to get yourself up, even with false rules. It makes you stronger.
 
But its true that it has to be mentioned!

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

Dual Universe Magazine is back! (formerly Dual Universe Today). Here's the first issue. ENJOY! 

OK, let's do this.
 
Hi, I'm Oxdale, Founder and Associate at Huginn & Muninn Associates. I'm also the founder of the Old Guard of Gaia (this detail is important), an organisation for which I took a back seat some month ago (burn out), but the OGG values are still alive !
 
I made and deployed the BIRD. This is not my main service but an experimental system I'm still working on.
 
The goal :
As I said, I found the Old Guard of Gaia, whose values are independance, balance, immersion and respect. My ultimate goal is to live in an immersive world, where relations between "evil"&"good", "PvP"&"Carebear", "Casual"&"Hardcore", ... are balanced and sustainable on the long term, and where players have respect even if characters can spit on each other with a smile. It has always been my motivations. You can find my interventions on this forum, long before I even have the idea of Huginn&Muninn.
 
The idea :
I'm developing a service to help organization and any players to protect themselves against scammers, freePK, trolls, thieves, serial-org-quitters and every toxic behavior we could find. Because currently, those action can be made with full impunity and it's nearly impossible to prevent this. I'm trying to find a way. 
 
And thus, this is not a surprise some dislikes this service. Choose your side.
 
The service : 
It is a paid service, indeed. Because I need to pay fuel, scrap, cells and spare elements of my ship. But I told all my current clients that friendship, safe shelter, fuel&repairs and visits is a sufficient payment for me. Information is also a kind of payment I accept with great pleasure.I don't care earning money, I just want to explore and make contacts with the noveans (also an OGG concept). Furthermore, trading allows me to fly my ship. 
 
I wanted it independant from any organization because it's not a domination tool. On the contrary, it is a leveling tool. But don't be fooled : big organization has the same, and probably more. I'm here also for the little ones.
 
The code : 
The BIRD are running strictly the same code you can find around any serious base or ship around and I'm still developing it to consume less and less resources, regarding the heavy limitations NQ already enforce for Lua scripts, especially around markets (Alioth ...). Believe me, I don't like cluttered market neither, so I made it, I hope, quite aesthetic, small, immersive and not on the paths. Moreover, the script is just an on/off run, it does not last more than 500ms.
 
Everything I read about what I can do with Lua is really pure fantasy. This is a basic piece of code. All the refinements are for ingame performance and exploitation.
 
 
 
Now some reactions to what I read here : 
 
First point : if I wanted to spy, I won't describe Huginn&Muninn Associates as an intelligence and security agency, this is in the public description from the beginning. And, obviously, I wouldn't put this as a full white pillars with crows from a Huginn&Muninn org (any simple research on Google would give you a lot of hints). If I was an evil hidden spy, I would do like some others already do : put "trade", "recruitment", "mission" or "get fuel" booth and hide sensors, or just land a little speeder with some code in it. There are so many ways to hide it visually (even if it would have been detected in the Lua channel tab). I chose to show it with some elegance.
 
Second point : some are surprised Lua is executing code on their pc. It's how Lua  works, and how it is working in DU from the beginning. And news for them : same for every single line of javascript on a web page. And there are A LOT of it, and far more harmful than gather avatar ids in a video game.
 
Third point : This is an emergent gameplay. If NQ doesn't consider it the same, no problem. I'll do something else.
 
I won't intervene anymore in this thread because I think I've written all of it. But I would be glad to chat on Discord with you about this.
 

It's only a matter of time before NQ will start locking down these threads as we're just rehashing something they closed the book on.

Heres the finished racer

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

This is Wadiss' X-Class racer in development.  Gave me a ride on it the other day and it goes like a bat out of hell.
 
 
 
 

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.

Dear NQ, 
 
Please for the love Quanta, please increase the copy/paste size limits. 
 
It is the single most annoying aspect of build large ships. 
 
Love, 
Wadiss. xoxo
