You can turn it on for an element by looking at the element and pressing U key. It will highlight yellow and when you place the other element it will highlight yellow when it is in the right place

@BiGEdge I'm not sure where you think you heard that, but having an EVE-style skill tree has been part of the plan since forever.

All your loot are belong to me. 

It's possible the mining scanner will also detect player placed voxels and elements. It's possible there will be a separate scanner for constructs.
 
But even if those two things don't work, there's more than one way to approach the problem. You can't just put the TCU into the ground and call it invulnerable.
 
You'll obviously have some kind of surface access to get to the TCU. Second, TCUs will be extremely expensive to set up and operate. That means supply lines. So an obvious solution would be to set up a blockade to shut it down.

Eve has probably the most successful community in an mmo to date. What are you taking about? 
 
 In eve there is an unprecedented amount of player cooperation to achieve group goals.  nothing in eve is made by just one person, it is a collaboration of players against other players.
 
What you call griefing is people going about thier business, thier business might be to attack your ship.

If NQ releases content about the tests, that is their prerogative.  Just because there is a NDA does not mean NQ cannot share info with the public.  We can't release anything, they can 

Nope he changed it. No bullying there
 
But thanks for just accusing me without knowing thethe facts

Ah yeah, good old cloaking - this will be a fun thread xD
 
Imho we definitely need cloaks but only on certain ships which can't attack anyone/can't use weapons. These ships should be highly specialized and be detectable only by a highly specialized radar. Will write more later

Hi Dehkur and welcome on the Dual Universe official forum.
 
Nowhere it has been said this will be hosted on a single computer.
It has been said it will be hosted on a single server.
Are you not confusing the words "server" and "computer"?
A server can be hosted on a cluster composed of many computers.
And for Dual Universe, this is definitely the case.

Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

If everything goes dark and they all run off to Grand Cayman with the money at least we'll have a hell of a story to tell.

watch your back ^.^

There are already plans in the works to have universal games (think Olympics, but with speeders).

Silly stuff? If they allow embedding Youtube videos onto in-game screens, I bet we'll have no shortage of that.

PvE != AI.
 
No where has AI been mentioned in this thread, my post or otherwise.
 
There is a TON of PvE content in DU, as I have stated previously.
 
But you clearly didn't read, or ignored what I said.  I don't think this discussion will get anywhere.

There's a NDA in place for us ATV and for every gold+ backer. Period. NQ decides what information they give out, not we as customers.
 
They have plenty to do now after the ATV test and they have to make sure that everything runs well on saturday - they possibly don't have much time to just write a report for anyone because of the workload.
 
So maybe people could just chill a little bit and wait if they announce anything AFTER the gold+ backer test.
 
I really don't know if people noticed but this test on 30th was announced - NO further test. So we get to play on saturday and then we have to wait for the next announcement anyway - and I just make an educated guess here: they will announce the next test plus a short report on how the gold+ backer test went. That's ofc only speculation on my part, but who knows.
 
I know that everyone is eager and everyone wants information and all go crazy atm BUT please people remember:
 
- once you participated on the test on 30th of september you're under NDA and you CAN'T talk about that to anyone
- give them time: they try their best to make this happen. bombarding them with PMs/questions/wishes on the forum doesn't help them achieving this - it makes things worse
- think about them and their workload atm - and maybe rethink if you really help them now when you want to know certain things or if you can wait for that piece of info a week or two

We can neither confirm or deny this statement. 

Never knew the ATV group was full with TRedactOLLS

As Anasasi said, we already got to play DU last week.
 
And we're the ones (at least some of us) that are more involved in community things like discord, 3rd party stuff (maps, spreadsheets, programming), player organized mass tests and so on

ATV is the Alpha Team Vanguard set of members, chosen because of community involvement, and a few other sets of parameters. 
So naturally, the ATV test was when the ATV members were able to test the game. 

They have said there there are probably going to be server wipes during at least Pre-Alpha and Alpha, but the goal (I don't know if it's working yet) is for any blueprints of constructs that you have made to persist until full game release so that you don't lose design(/coding?) time.

I would also suspect the same. It's a shame that people who arrived late don't have access to the starter packs, but on the other hand, you have to reward your long-term backers.

Can't the 30th come any quicker???

DACs can't be abused.  End of story.
 
It's a tried and true system, if you don't like it... tough I guess.
 
In my experience the true "whales" you speak of are those who sit and play the market profiting off of others.  The people who buy DACs/PLEX?  Those who need a quick fix, and not enough time to play for the creds.
 
So to eliminate your whale problem, they'd have to eliminate the re-sale of DACs.  No thanks.
 
Once you start playing a game, it's a lot easier to make money by being smart than it is by dumping fortunes into the game.

I woke up early for the test and [Redacted]

I heard tha-
