Sounds like you guys didn’t setup RDMS properly, and/or shouldn’t have made that person a legate.

Try making the voxel floors 2 blocks thick

They don’t have to put timings on a roadmap at all, just a list of what they’d like to achieve, and an order in which they’d like to do it. Frankly I don’t even need that, a simple statement of the games direction and priorities would suffice.

The overall direction with regards to development was last touched on by NQ-Kyrios in this post. Within which the following items were mentioned:
- General Improvements - Bug fixes, stabilization, and polish (Ongoing)
- The Exchange - Hub for creators and merchants (Added in Update 0.3)
- DAC System - Online implementation to trade DACs (Added in Update 1.0)
- Element Recycling - Convert broken/unused elements into parts (Added in Update 1.1)
- Digital Backer Rewards - Pets, outfits, and emotes (Added in Update 1.1)
- Physical Backer Rewards - Mailing the physical goods like T-shirts to eligible backers
- Flotillas - Form temporary groups with other players
- Improved Mission System - More complex, interconnected, and lore-oriented objectives
- Power Management System - Method of further specializing constructs
- More to Explore - Additional planets, moons, biomes, and gameplay opportunities
- Planetary Warfare - Atmospheric PvP
- Other features - Improve or introduce many other features
So while it is true that we do not have a formalized roadmap, the above hopefully gives you a rough idea where things are headed with regards to long-term development. It is a bit light on the details but as usual, expect more specifics to be made available the closer a given feature gets to completion.
I remember and liked that post, it indeed gave the kind of steer I’m after, but that’s 6 months ago, and prior to release.
A statement reaffirming those aspirations would really help. -
I’m an eternal optimist with DU, no other game has the potential it does so I’m happy to stick around for as long as it takes, regardless of the pace of change.
However, the lack of any kind of long term roadmap gives the impression that change/development isn’t even planned. This really kills any motivation to play. I’ve cancelled all but one account because I have no idea if there is a future.
I realise NQ don’t want to commit to anything long term, and only want to announce specific short term changes. But all that would be needed is a statement of intention/desire on the games direction, that would keep me (and I’m sure many others) engaged with the game.
Are there others in the same boat?

Am I imagining things, didn’t this post say talemai was being released?

Talemai.

My corp are waiting for the old planets to be reintroduced so we can rebuild our base.
When’s it going to happen?
Can you confirm it will happen at all?Any kind of general timelines available?
Right now we are in a limbo, and loosing players in our corp as we just wait.

Just fly to any rare or exotic roid by chance you will find someone. Every day after 16:00 utc seen people camping Jago pipe. But everyone with shields down can just run to safe zone there.
Fighting people at the edge of the safe zone is pointless, no one can loose.

I’ve spent the past 6 weeks trying to find pvp, there’s virtually none to be had, am I missing something?
I don’t care about balance if there’s no encounters.

You obviously have never done PVP in DU. No ship loaded with ore can defend itself. Now that we have mass based speed limits, I doubt a loaded ship can even escape, even with a superior pilot and a good starting position.
I’ve don’t a huge amount of pvp in DU. If your concern is your mass, then delete the ore. There’s tonnes of ways to defend yourself.

It's pretty clear that the design purpose of asteroid mining is to force us to be undefended targets for the griefers - or call them gankers if you like. Useless wastes of air, IAC.
Of course NQ wants to discourage sz mining.
Defend yourselves

I disagree, if anything schematics have been dummed down too much.

Am I correct in saying it doesn’t show radar?

Think this in particular was what really got him here:
Snarky reply that has no reason for existing.I agree with his reply. It’s a sandbox, the towers have been restricted in higher to 1km, just be careful when approaching and dropping below that threshold.
this really is the most ridiculous reason to quit the game, it’s beyond ridiculous

All I see is hatred here. Are you telling me that a few discrepancies has caused so much hatred in you that now you must leave the game? Do you not care for all the time you spent here? What about all the people you have met. DU is not a perfect game, I don't think any game will ever be a perfect game. But why can't we enjoy it for what it is? NQ surely has some stuff to take care of, but man they are human too trying their best to live and make cool games, surely we can cut them a little slack? Bwaha
Take a break bro, but don't leave forever. Come back and enjoy the game again when you are ready to.This

Is it possible to build a DSAT on day 1? Surely not

Does anyone have a updated speed/mass graph?

OH joy, a race track that will be fun for about 5 minutes and then just more boring repetition like everything else in this game. And lets call it a time trial track because lets be honest you cant actually race anyone reliably without the desync completely ruining the experience
I don’t think building sandbox games are for you.

I feel like there’s more important features to work on than transparent voxels, especially just before launch. All efforts should be on stability, bug fixing, polishing of FTUE etc.

Roll game back two when it had real mining
maybe game will be good again 🤔you know when half of the people stoped playing games most likely going two be DOA most of the changes made have not done the game any good in my opinion
There is real mining on asteroids, you just need to, you know, fly a ship, in a spaceship game, to get there.
