[Mission system is badly needed (hauler for ressources / delivery jobs)]

Why doesn't NQ implement a Drone Based Delivery System ? Picture it in your mind for a second. Look at Star Wars as an example. The sky is full of tiny ships, and most look like cargo shuttles.

 

I posted this in the IDEA section of the forum.

 

 

 

From my understanding DU is about human beings interaction.

 

On purpose there are no NPCs, compared with other games in the same setting.

 

So there are possibilities for people who want to engange in the trucking business.

Currently (I believe) you can give somebody permission to pick up stuff from the market for you (May benorgs only, haven’t tested). The problem is this gives them the ability to pick up every thing you have in every market.

 

plus there is no way to ensure they deliver. Missions I assume would have insurance for them not completing mission, bond, etc.

 

 

How about the packaging? And Dropoff would in in a "read-only" container?

 

Reputation system? If someone steals on purpose -> impact.

I sometimes think this is re-inventing the wheel.

 

Or how is it done in other games?

 

[Ship for repair and refuel]

@CoyoteNZ

Thank you for the explanation.

 

So is there any plan to improve on the element's workflow - not having them destroyed by the repair unit, but keeping in mind the overall allowable amount of repairs?

What are the performance relevant parts?

 

Short question: what change will result in more fps?

 

Any official idea?

It is something we have considered (and continue to consider)  - we have used a variety of tools to test it out though   

 

@NQ-Naerais

 

Case in point

 

From project management side I would emphasize on this topic very strongly.

 

Having the bugs visible is such an important topic for avoiding unneccessary busy work on all ends and keeps up the communication / information to the player.

 

Having the PTS bug posts shouldn't be the way to go imho.

 

Just use JIRA or any other bugtracker - not the current solution with the submission.

 

Feedback:

 

I am very much in favor of keeping the play informed regularely, just as with the proper support improvements and all the other official info in the last couple of days.

 

[Where is the official ingame bug tracker / reporter ? is it https://support.dualthegame.com/hc/en-us/requests/new]

You are welcome.

 

It was a very obvious finding - that's why I want to avoid double work.

 

So now I am stuck on Madis because of this - help ?

 

 

[Where is the official ingame bug tracker / reporter ? is it https://support.dualthegame.com/hc/en-us/requests/new]

the bug report is essentially this:

 

 

[How to claim a water tile?]

check, I am aware of the core units limitation.

 

So regarding territory it is now only a question of monies / production of the unit.

[Talent tree - searchable ingame or 3rd party tool]

How may I have a search-able talent tree?

 

I want to check for some keywords, like "territory" to check for potential limitations as to how many TUs can be placed at the same time.

[How to claim a water tile?]

Thank you for the fast replys.

 

Is there a limit as to how many tiles 1 avatar can claim at the same time?

[Ship for repair and refuel]

How do the ingame "repair units" work?

[How to claim a water tile?]

Where do I need to put the Territory Unit? At the bottom of the water area?

 

Can a ship go underwater?

[a factory for building ships]

It sound's too fantastic having the 1 click experience - when I saw the diy space elevators in DU I came to think of other buildings / factories.

 

Above mentioned examples are not 100% immersive.

 

I am just impressed.

@NQ-Naerais

 

just for feedback:

 

After having submitted the bug ticket I have received a notification of the submission from @NQ-Rubicon in less than 6 hours. Thumbs up

[Tools to facilitate socialization (emotes, voice chat, and stuff like that))]

+1 for voicechat with a well implementation

 

Being a "niche" game in itself I for myself do not want to rely for 3rd party tools.

 

I can understand during Beta that given their existence means spending dev time on other tasks.

 

However this is the question: what is the sand box all about?

 

Players will find a way around problems ingame using other tools.

[Futuristic manufacturing + stone age trade]

What needs to be implemented to have Beta status of DU end and have release?

 

And if there should be a wipe:

 

Will everything be gone?

 

Or may one keep blueprints of the investment made mostly in terms of time?

 

This is why I am kind of fence-sitting now, not spending too much time in-game.

[Where is the official ingame bug tracker / reporter ? is it https://support.dualthegame.com/hc/en-us/requests/new]

Thank you both for clarification.

 

I will then use the tool provided for the moment.

 

@NQ-Naerais

 

A suggestion:

 

Have the bugs publicly visible and upvote-able by the community.

 

I could - if i may - point to something available at the Star Citizen system.

 

The upside:

 

• No redundant busy work for NQ - avoid duplicates wasting time on both sides.
• And the social aspect: players are informed about what is a known issue.
• Upvoting should give NQ a better idea of what is most urgent to be fixed - in an automatic way. Harness the power of many

Funny, I see the OP as evidence of why they will be a big deal.  Because the ability to "offer jobs to have resources / items delivered to a place of my choice" is already there!  You just have to use discord or at least in some way actually talk to other people to arrange them. 

 

And yet, there are clearly many people who play but are unwilling to engage in that way.  A mission system could be what connects the anti-social to other players to perform these jobs.

 

Well, that's the thing for me about Discord:

 

DU does not have NPCs by design. So all the interaction is to take place between human beings.

 

I found the community very helpful when asked.

 

It is more the question of playstyle and immersion - Fedex-ing default deliveries would save some time.

 

I do wonder:

 

How will the transport of items take place, let's say:

 

I am buying something remotely at the market and want this to be collected and delivered. Is this possible as of now?

 

Or do you refer to the deliverer having to own the items in question first and then selling them with a delivery fee?

 

 

[Where is the official ingame bug tracker / reporter ? is it https://support.dualthegame.com/hc/en-us/requests/new]

I found

I want to report a reproduceable issue with the surrogate session.

 

Before submitting I wanted to search in above mentioned page if this issue has already been reported, but the search result came up blank.

 

 

[NQ tool for all locations on and off planet ?]

I am wondering if NQ has an internal tool for mapping all the different cores in the whole universe.

 

Would be cool to see this in action.

I can't find any suggestion regarding the interdiction here https://upvote.dualuniverse.game

 

Feel free to add one - somehow I am not able to do on that page myself.

[Marketplace Performance Improvements]

@NQ-Naerais

 

So now I found the info where the find the location next to the Ark Ship on Alioth.

 

How about a marker on the in game map?

 

And honestly:

 

How is the technology behind DU in it's current form ever to take care of a player increase?

 

If it is already not dealing well with the current situation?

 

A friend of mine, whom I introduced into the game, has way more experience than me with MMO's.

 

The first thing he pointed out was exactly this: have 1.000 players in one area and check the performance.

 

Is this always re-inventing the wheel?

 

Given today's systems / machines what is the big problem here?

 

Star Citizen hasn't got it yet.

[Ship for repair and refuel]

Will there ever be an option to not have an Avatar taking care of repair and refuel?

 

For me this is always not fun having to do that using an avatar.

 

This idea is more for stranded ships.

 

Have a "beam" or something like this take care of the repair and refuel, together with a payment option.

 

There is this other topic of rest stops:
