Monthly fees are the best way to go for a game with a scope like this one and it is priced pretty fairly

- Subscriptions are the best and most honest revenue model for a MMO in my opinion. No extras, no pay2win, no item-shop bs for any player. Everyone is equal. How far You get is all about Your skill and what You make and build in the game.
- There indeed were lifetime subscriptions within some of the old pledge packages. Probably similiar offers will come back one day...
- No need to buy overpriced ships You can't design, change or modify Yourself like in Star Citizen.
 

The crisis of 2008 was caused by cheap money / credit loaned to subprime customers and the worldwide distribution of derivatives. So I don't think we will have anything like the 2008-crisis in DU. Unless we have a player-run banking and financial system in DU with credit / loaning, shares and derivatives of some sort. Or leveraged speculation on credit of some sort.
Most ressources in DU will be mined/created and then consumed for construction or as fuel. So there will be the lack of and oversupply/inflation of ressources and market crisis/collapse, speculation and all that what Lethys and Zamarus described for sure.

Youtubers will be positive to give exposure to the game and they will be free advertising. More players->more attractive game ->more income for the devs -> further development of DU-> good for us all!

Isn't this forum and community website supposed to be the main info hub and gathering point of the community and the pre-alpha-testers? Where all info should be posted (first) ?
 
NQ, please don't neglect the forums in favour of twitter and facebook! Imho only forums enable proper discussions and an accessible and ordered store of information for a longer period of time.

Hello fellow Noveans, I just wanted to write a short post to thank the PR deptartment at Novaquark. While I do not wish to go into details, I had to contact Novaquark recently in relation to my account. Their response was swift, polite, understanding and highly satisfactory.

A special thank you to Gary, but to all at Novaquark, for assisting in my situation.

Good customer service in gaming is rare nowadays, sadly, so something like this really makes a difference. I am honoured to say that I got the Gold Pledge, worth every penny.

Thanks again!

Everyone loves Gary!

I don't know if a colony ship like in SC will make any sense in DU. When the new planet has the ressources, You can just go there with a small ship and build there. Probably bring pre-made blueprints and construction schematics with You. It'll only be necessary to bring the needed ressources if the planet You want to build on doesn't have any or the wrong ones.

Klar doch! Hallo allerseits!
 
Hi everybody! Germans are everywhere on the internet! You can't get rid of them these days...  

Blueprints are an important gameplay feature so they must be available and get tested in alpha and beta. Would be great if we could keep our blueprints so we don't have to design everything from scratch again.
I like the creative mode in Empyrion - Galactic Survival. You can create stuff in creative mode, blueprint it and use these blueprints in single or multiplayer survival games.
Would be cool to have an offline creative mode in DU as well!

I agree with a subscription model! Good decision! Makes sense if You are in it for the long term and want to treat all players equal.
