  1.  
    About the preventive measures we have in mind (we would like to have your feedback on this):

    One idea is to require the account be a week old or a backer to join/make a corp. It would not get ride of the problem but people just doing it for the lolz probably won't want to wait a week.

  2. Perhaps not directly, but NQ is a very small company so everyone does a bit of everything. Their main website designer is also their main server guy, and JC codes as well, and any time they spend talking about this or working on this is time they are not doing other things.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "someone made a few alts so the game is going to be months late", but things do add up over time.

    WHAAATT, SOMEBODY MADE A FEW ALTS SO NOW THE GAME IS GOING TO BE A FEW MONTHS LATE. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. I'll throw in the key question into the room:

     

    Is it forbidden? The forum rules, after a quick glance at least, do not imply this directly or I missed the key parts.

     

    Of course it looks like a silly alt-paradise or network, all things considered. Some affiliates share the same style of introduction post or logo, many profiles appear "bare-bones" and there doesn't seem to be external sources that show that the group has a prior history or traces somewhere - according to a very quick search anyway - thus making it more unlikely that an existing organization came here "at once" with various members. No website was linked when I looked around.

     

    It seems justified to make fun of it, given the very very low chance of it being legit...

     

    But it doesn't seem to be forbidden so far. Frowned upon by the community, sure. If everyone is generally against it (I, for one, think it's amusing seeing the obvious attempt) or if NQ is against it, consider adding some rule against fake news networks or members.

     

    That way, you can directly call for official assistance (mods) when these cases pop up.

     

    On another note, I'd very much look forward to some sort of response from the organization / people in question about the accusation.

     

    But before a mob with pitchforks comes around, I'd just smirk at it and move on.

    To late

    In my opinion people should not be able to make that many alts, it clutters the community portal.

    And that tiny bit of OCD in all of use is getting to me :(.

     

    Edit: LOL, they do not have pitch forks my bad.

  4. Those are all cool ideas.

    I would love playing around with magnets.

    Electro magnets would make for interesting options.

     

    Though right now I think ships just land on their belly.

    Or hover. Which looks epic btw.

  5. Yeah you know how youtube recommends those random videos, like boiling frogs or the worlds highest oreo dunk, and you wonder how in the world youtube thought you wanted to watch that?

     

    For once, youtube actually recommended me a video I wanted to watch. Only an hour old too!

    All I get is 1000 degree knife challenge, hydraulic press and we are number one memes. :( I KEEP CLICKING ON THEM THOUGH!!

  6. Ah, thats good to hear :D Lets see what they come up with this time, everytime I see a dev blog or video, the hype keeps increasing lol

    Found it

     

    "Dual Universe will be presented at the GDC 2017 in San Francisco from February 28th to March 3rd. We are happy to announce we have been selected as one of the eight winners for the "Best in Play" Awards! Due to all the preparation related to the GDC (new pre-alpha build), the February DevDiary video will be released at the beginning of March (between March 6 & March 10)."

    Just noticed I typed the month as the 5, I meant 3.

  7. I am very happy to see some great progress on the game being made, can't wait for the game to finally come out :D I do hope they come out with some new dev blogs and videos as well, also maybe a new dev blog on economy :P

    I remember them saying somewhere to expect the next dev dairy between 3/6  and 3/10. But I may be wrong.

     

    Edit: The comment was about how the video is going to be delayed because of GDC. Can not seem to find it though.

  8. Like electromagnets? That would be pretty cool!

    The only difficulty would be running power to them, depending on whether or not cables / wires will exist, as opposed to hard-line power conduits.

     

    That being said,I think the landing gear that we will have are already some kind of powered magnet, how else could a ship "stick" to a landing pad in space? Or land on an asteroid?

    My Idea was to make them a voxel material. So you can make the landing gear what ever shape you want. Another idea is to make a way to magnetize all kinds of metal. Like a electromagnet. The only problem is that not all materials are magnetic so they can stick to it. So they would need some lore work around.

     

    Also I just realized we have never been shown landing gear so we don't even know if they are planned.

  9. I would like to add that I am more worried about the spawn area.

    The spawn will have a much higher density of players digging in the same area.

    A good example of this is 2b2t.org a 6 year old Minecraft anarchy server.

    It only looks like this for a few km but its the first thing players see when they join.

    Edit: Remember a minecraft world is larger then a planet yet the spawn still looks like this.

  10. Yes its halo. That's why it goes in the off topic section.

     

    Also there is nothing wrong with this, but I fell like your kinda over doing it with the off topic stuff.

  11. If you look at this clip you will see multiple moving platforms and ships moving about. On those platforms there are players walking on them and it behaves exactly like walking on a planet.

     

     

     

    Technically thats tons of impressive.

    Each construct moves independant from the planet, each with their own xyz axis. Very impressive.

     

    Dont worry about it. ;)

    Oh, I missed that video. Thanks!

     

    Edit: Wow that's a massive ship. The wreck of that thing could probably be seen from space.

  12. I can. :)

     

     

    Hmmm, armed escape pods huh? Hadn't thought of that! However, I highly doubt that they could do much to you, especially considering you were obviously well armed enough to force the crew to the pods in the first place.

    Maybe instead of investing in escape pods corps should make fighters.
