Hello Everyone,
so one of our Members got a Problem two days ago.
He was on Madis to Mine a bit, at the end oft the Day he leave his Ship on an Claimed Territory from him. At the next Morning his Ship was 30su away from Madis and was shot down. They looted an Warp Drive and three Territory Scanner. We dont know at the moment how they get the ship into Space. The Ship was shot by an Player Called Zelight who is member oft he org „THE GUILD OF CALAMITOUS INTENT“. At the next Day our Member and a few friends are back on Madis to mine.
They were mining in an unclaimed Territory, after a few hours of mining he wanted to go Back to his Ship and markt hem via his core list. The Ship was 70km away, after an Force Respawn two of his Ships are parked in the middle oft he L Core called Reclination. This Ship was only Build to hijack ships and shoot them down in the PVP zone. The Ship got 6 Lasers and all are directed to the middle Plattform where the ships were parked. But there were no other Player on the Construct, so we think that the Owner of the Ship (Zelight) docked all the Cores fly it up in tot he Space, but in the Safe zone and logged out. After our Member got back to the Ship it was speeding up to 4000km/h. So we decided to let hiss hip fly into the PVP Zone and shot it Down.
The Ship was originaly Build by an Corp called „Kori Design Studios“ which Superlegate is member of the SilverLight Industries. It takes around an hour to destroy his both Cores, but we beat one „Scammer“ boy and thats worth it.
But NQ should fix these actions ….

At this point i'm rooting for BOO just because @iNFiDeL keeps calling people Autistic.
 
I hope they blow up all your Millennium Falcons.
 
Star Trek is better anyway.

My nephew drew a picture of the Millennium Falcon with crayons, should i call the cops?

as someone who was diagnosed with autism at an early age, @iNFiDeL i would kindly ask you stop. we crashed your in game event, so what? none of that is the same as shaming someone with a real disability. thanks for showing out of game respect at least should you stop

If you don't like bullies maybe start by trying not to be one yourself.
 
You lose all creditability as the "good guy" here, when you use a word like that as an insult.
 
Just don't do it anymore.  It's not that hard.

For anyone who played before 0.23, schematics are going to feel like a harsh reality.
 
But in terms of the first few days, it's really not any harder for a new player to get into the game.  
 
Let's say the goal is to build a ship that can actually haul some ore.  So you're going to need a few S sized containers, and some M sized parts at least, that can't be made in the Nanocrafter.
 
Before 0.23 the easiest thing to do was mine a bunch of ore, and build a little factory.  The problem, once you've got your small hauler built, you also have a factory ready to produce ten more.  But no one to buy them, because everyone else has a little factory too.
 
Now, still, all you need to do is go out and mine a bunch of ore.  Then sell it, and buy some parts to build a ship. 
 
0.23 didn't make it harder to build a ship, it just made it harder to build a ship factory.  This is what JC was talking about with his iphone analogy.
 
If your goal was to build a ship factory, the game got a lot harder.  But if your goal is for that ship factory to have a purpose, then 0.23 was a step in that direction.

Welcome to the game.

Schematics were added in December with patch 0.23 and a lot of the youtube content was made in September/October when the beta was first released. For industry related content that includes schematics, you should look for things made after December 10th or that mention the patch. There were other industry changes as well that earlier videos would not have covered. More advanced items now require different tiers of industry machines. For example, refining a tier 3 ore now requires a higher level refinery.
 
As a new player, I think you'll enjoy the game more by avoiding the industry aspects while you learn other areas of the game. Buying the items you need will generally be much cheaper than the startup costs of setting up the industry to produce it. Start out buying what you need to build a ship/base, explore other planets, try out pvp, find a community of players to interact with, etc. Once you get an idea of what you enjoy doing, then you can focus your industry on just the items you need in bulk.
 
If you really want to get started with industry because it interests you, then the only way to limit the initial grind is to focus. Don't try to make everything. Find an item you think you can sell and just setup the industry for it. Then use the knowledge/profits from that setup to expand. Industry is now an expensive investment though, so you're going to have to grind for quanta.
 
Mining ore and selling on the market is the most straightforward way to make quanta right now. If you mine a lot, look into territory scanners. You can run them while mining and they help you find which tiles have more abundant ore. If you want to diversify the grind, there are some other ways to make money though.

One example is hauling items between markets. Buy things at a lower cost and then resell them. This is a fairly consistent way to make money, but market demand for many items is low so it will take more time than mining to grow your quanta. The benefit is you can spend that time doing other things in game while waiting for items to sell. Hauling can transition well into industry if that is your goal. For example, I found a location where I could build a shop to sell fuel and scrap. I didn't have the industry skills to make low cost fuel yet, so I initially bought the items at the market to resell at my shop. As my industry skill improves I'm making some of the items now and still buying others from players/markets.

Q: What do you need for any economy to flourish?
A: Product, and lots of it. And I mean diversity, not just quantity.

The more people that can design stuff, the better the economy will be.
Depending on where the designers are, you even end up forcing trade to happen, because people will either need to get their backside to the market selling stuff or have it shipped.
You don't design an economy solely around the supply of parts, you design it around end products that people want/need to buy, even if they already have something that does the same thing. You want the economy to succeed? You need designers wiling to put in the time to create stuff you will want to buy. 
Do you really think everyone who can do that (and do it well) will want to grind so that you can feel better about yourself? Or, will they want to immerse themselves in the creative process as much as possible? 
I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I can lose entire days/weeks while in "the creative zone"... and mining or other activities are not in my creative zone.
Just because a designer is not flying around does [not mean] he/she does not contribute... unless they have no interest in selling their creations, in which case they still pay a sub, so no loss there as far as NQ is concerned (not optimal in any way, but not the end of the world either).
 

OPs right it's like a pack of wild hyenas around here lately.
 
So you're frustrated.  
 
If you can't calm down enough to talk to NQ with some respect, how can you expect them to take the time to listen to you?
 
If you've completely given up on respectful communication, then what are you really still doing here?
 
edit: and by "around here" i mean the five of you here on the forums

I understand that some of you are angry at NQ for the latest patch and other various shenanigans. In a way, I agree with you; i'm not picking any sides here. But this criticism has turned into toxicity. Some people believe that it is acceptable to pick apart and beat Novaquark with hate instead of calmly and kindly giving helpful advice on how to make the game improve. Some people believe whenever someone comments a different opinion about the 0.23 update it is their primary objective to thrash back and pour salt on them because 'no one can say nice things about the update'.  Some people believe that since the game has turned out slightly different from what they expected they must alert and discourage everyone from playing the game because it is a 'scam*'. Some people believe that just because their experience is ruined they must ruin it for everyone else. And some people just jump on the salt bandwagon even if they have never set up an industry unit in their life.
 
I will repeat what I just said. I am NOT saying that 0.23 was either a good or bad of an update. If you hate it, that's fine. But people like this are becoming a large excrement deposit on the Dual Universe community. You might have heard that recently a forum conversation got out of hand when an individual exposed a LinkedIn profile of an NQ employee. That is flat out unacceptable. If you are one of the people like this, instead of beating this game and its 50 employees down, just LEAVE. This game would be much better without people like you anyway.
 
* I have watched the trailers many times now. in my disgustingly baist opinion it's not. (sacré bleu!) misleading? maybe slightly. But let's be honest here, for games that require player interaction, they all are. Take a look at the Starbase trailer for example. Just like Dual's trailer, they both include massive fight sequences, which take up half of the trailer runtime. Sure they are technically possible, but definitely aren't ever gonna happen apart from the rare few events and such.
 
I know that I will get a wave of salt from this post, just like my previous ones. so please be civil. I won't be responding to any of the people that are hating for the sake of hating or people saying the game is bad without giving at least a bit of constructive criticism. If you feel so inclined, just shout at a wall instead. 
 
 

I think it makes sense, especially with a limited support staff. If everything goes to the ticket system then things can be prioritized, anything else like instant chat takes away resources from the tickets and is not fair to people who use the ticket system. The operation of the ticket system and setting expectations is another challenge.

Unfortunately you can't reset your account.  Because it would be too easy to exploit by handing off the items to another players and then making a new account.
 
The parts for the speeder are all very cheap on the market.  With the 150k login bonus you should be able to buy new parts to make a speeder.
 
If you lost the Sanctuary Territory control unit that could be complicated because right now i think each player only gets one.  So you might have to open a customer support ticket to see about getting another one of those.  That's how you claim a hex on the sanctuary moon.  You can claim hexes on Alioth with a regular territory control unit, which can be crafted (not easily), and bought on the market.
 
If you fall down another mine shaft, you can get back out using your jetpack (spacebar), even if it's a straight vertical shaft.  If you're facing directly towards a wall the jetpack will keep working until you reach the top.  If you get stuck on a bump it helps to move around the tunnel in a corkscrew pattern until you eventually find your way around the bump.
 
The game is a little rough around the edges, partially because it's not done.  But also because some of the technology is very new and they are literally still trying to figure out how to make it work.
 
But if you like Sci Fi, and you like building things, it's pretty freakin' amazing
 
 

Doctor Porco is what you might call a notorious iconoclast from the days of Landmark.  ?
 
imho he's just what this community needs right about now.
 
It is probably better to keep these all in one thread.  It makes it easier to keep up with them that way anyway.
 
It would be cool if there was a way to have these show up on a screen in game.  And update each day with a new one.  LUA masters, is this possible? 
 
 

Calling it crap does.
