    Good question! :) 
     

    You will be able to see the locations of your constructs on the new system map if they are selected in the left menu. Sharing the location with your friends/organization and anyone else, you'll need to send them the coordinates.

     

    I hope that helps!

    Can you guys post about wipe or no wipe instead of other dev blogs?

     

    Honestly, the player base doesn't care until we know if it is worth playing or not....

    SHEDDING LIGHT ON A NOVAQUARK INTERNAL DISCUSSION - discussion thread

    Pardon, but I have the answer about the wipe already.
    For sure, there will be a 100% Full Wipe. No blueprints at all, no talent points.

    Why ? Because NQ did it always. First they announced a partial reset, and said what they wanted to keep. Then a few days before reset they said : "Well, we made a new decision, probably it will be best to not let players, who spent month in scanning territories, keep their scan reports."

    So somehow NQ is SOOOOOOOOO much scared of being unfair to, not even knowing new player yet, that they rather hurt the player which  they know very close and get money from. Player who spend time, money, creativity and passion in it.
    Sometimes player in here say it is no content in the game. Sorry, but then you need to play a story driven game rather than a "player creativity content creation" game if you don't get it, there will be no one, taking your hand and leading you to a map with thousends of quests all over the map. 

    And WE MADE CONTENT already. It took countless hours every day. Content in terms of nice ships, elevators, bases, cities, infrastructure and amazing scripts of real geniuses.

    So my beloved NQ team, do you think most of us can repeat that after a wipe ?
    Put same energy and lifetime into it ?
    And now, please read carefully :
    TO ALWAYS KNOW, THAT IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH A LITTLE PLUGIN OR WHATEVER, IT CAN ALWAYS BE A WIPE AGAIN !!!
    "NQ" and the word "persist" does somehow not fit together anymore. 
    How can we start over again and put again years in the game, to create something we can keep as long as WE want to keep it (because we pay money to NQ) and not how long NQ "allows" us to keep it ? 
    It is 100% your game, and you proved it a few times already to the community.
    And please do NOT start promising : "this will be the last wipe in the game"
    Me as a comedian, I know how hard it is to find a punchline like this !

    What are your thoughts after the wipe ?
    Most player will start again from scratch PLUS thousands of new player because the player news in social media channels are that great ? 

    Not sure how this can be happening.
    I think it could really be the last wipe. Simply because there will be no player anymore to recognize your next wipe after this one.

    Please also think about your code and backend technic!
    Why on earth...erm......Alioth, do you need so much resets and wipes always before you are going to do a "big" change ?
    What about a big change in, let's say, 5 years ? Will you do a wipe then ? (don't smile, say "no", and believe yourself now !)
    Do you think there will be always 450k NEW player after a wipe ?

    Consider EVE or other games have to act like this ?
    To let people pay constantly in beta AND doing resets and wipes isn’t the best idea, huh ?

    But for sure also after this, you are going to do a full wipe !
    By the way, I always supported you in our community if someone said : "uhh, they changed color of some voxels" "uhh, they made a change here, i dont like" and so on. I always said: "You try different ways to play the game, so let NQ also try different ways to put game mechanic in."

    But i truly never thought you would announce a wipe !

    Many of us (if not all) would have not put so much energy in building bases (also underground bases dug up) which took years. And now since a few of us dug up their 24 L core underground base because of your surface reset and your tool only could dig out squares and this could not give back the shape the base had before. So after this week's and month of work again, to restore the look of such building you tell us: "There will be a wipe" ? Wow ! Your Balls having the size of Jago and Teoma !


    You always told us, this is a fantastic persist world. That's why a lot of player took this serious and creates amazing things because we have known (because we did trust you) IT WILL BE PERSIST.

    And now you say: "LOL, no, i´ts not"

     

    Me personal, I stopped playing the game at all because I have following projects in DU right now:

    - copy/paste my 24 L core space station to a new place because I moved base and I love the caterpillar elevators and want to use them in the future.

     

    - calculating a few ships where we want to sell in future

     

    - calculating mining outposts, also for selling.

    - building base and infrastructure

     

     

    The Reason I stopped playing is: How much sense does it make, to work on my projects, if I don't know your decision ?
    So by the way, how long will that take in your mind, until we worth it, to hear your decision  ?

     

    Last thing: How could a full wipe work to be fair for everybody ?

    me, i did a lot of digging ores and then build a factory and got my quanta on this way = after a wipe, gone = very long time to have that many quanta and luxury items again after wipe .

     

    Others were creating amazing ships with very nice designs = also gone and also long time to get it back to this level

     

     

    And what about our amazing LUA scripting geniuses ? 

    First minute in game after wipe = copy/paste all scripts from *.txt files back into game.
    So scripter have a 100% backup of all work AND have a "ready to sell" product in about 60 seconds after first login after wipe.

    We "builder" do not have such a backup or a "ready to sell" product.

    So talking about "fair to all" ? How does this fit into your world ?

    Make your decision good, but make it SOON.
    Meetings every day, and no vacation until decision.
    This is just a splinter, you owe us!
    You already have stolen us enough real life time.

    But I know that you probably not wanted to hurt anyone of us.

    So I wish you a great day and a good progress to your decision.

    Dear NQ,

     

    A new update is coming, but we don’t feel to play because of the announced news of the wipe.

    It's not about the wipe itself. It's about uncertainty.

     

    1.      Subscription.

    We need to know for sure that our skill points will be saved after release.

    This is the only reason to pay for the game before release.

    Please note that accumulated skill points equal money. Zeroing out skill points in this context means robbery.

    It's no secret that many of us own more than one account. Consequently, zeroing out skill points means losing a lot of subscriptions after release.

     

    2.      Blueprints

    We can see that magic blueprints violate the main goal of the wipe. Therefore, we think you should make it clear that the general blueprints will be saved after the release. These are hours and hours of our art and design efforts.

     

    3.      Gameplay

    We need to find out as soon as possible exactly what will be wiped. Why? It gives us an opportunity to focus on other aspects of the game. We stop our mining units and factories and spend more time on blueprints to make the game better. It's a good time to share money and items with other players and start a creative era in Dual Universe. Some of us can focus on testing new mechanics.

    We can spend our money on useful things.

     

    Conclusion

    In general, we agree with the wipe. Just do it wisely.

    Please remember that we will get everything back in a year. Therefore, a new wipe will not be the solution.

     

    P.S. Just a hint.
    Remove the ore information from the planet information and change the distribution. This will slow down old players considerably and make exploration more interesting.


    Real players do not agree with wipe. Do not conclude such nonsense.

    Exotic Hovers Weigh the same?

    Shouldn't there be some more variation here, like freights weigh the least, maneuvers in the middle, and military heavy but powerful with high fuel usage. You've got the variation in the fuel consumption vs. output, but I feel like weight should also be taken into consideration.

    Until they apply that to engines too.....

    • We are also altering the behavior around a construct’s maximum speed. Constructs’ mass will now impact their speed; the heavier the ship, the less its maximum speed will be. Thus, smaller ships will be able to catch up bigger ones despite the latter having bigger engines than the former.
