Underhook

Could you please clarify what you mean by "assigned value" Do you mean that they are currently in use, for example a space engine with 20% thrust. Or that the engine is simply connected to the chair and that removing its connection to the chair would enable you to go silent?

I dont see anything in the changes that would prevent the cube remaining as the best design

Yes. What prompted me to try to get on discord again was that todays server downtime message said that the reason for the downtime was on discord.

It seems most of the communication about the game goes through discord. I have not really used discord and I'm having trouble getting DU on it. I click on the discord link provided on the forum and it opens discord. Then it tells me there is an unclaimed account so I click "claim it" However, It tells me that an account with my email address has already claimed that account. Maybe its already in discord somewhere and I just cant find it. Can anybody point me in the right direction.

I like PvP but in any PvP game I have played I have never fired on an unarmed opponent (thats just to counter an opinion that all PvPers are seal clubbers) . I feel that it would be fair if tier 2 and above ores were only mineable on non safe zone planets.

Thanks that Lua script would be really good.

The community in the game is generally really good. Try asking for help in the "support" chat channel. My 1st day in the game I took my speeder to market. Then the server went down for maintenance, when it came back online m,y speeder was gone and it seems that it was inside the structure of the market and nothing could get it back. I was talking to people on support about it and I guy came out to help me. He ended up giving me a small space capable ship and took me for a ride on his rocket powered ship. Was great fun and a great introduction to the game.

Yeah thats a strategy I saw in a youtube vid and I need to give it a try. The ship stats are OK its the pilot that needs some work

Did you feel you assumptions would be helpful?

Yeah , I'll land on the ground from now on

Yes, I was using that. In fact thats why I released the brakes. with the brakes on and forward thrust at full the line was not advancing.

Yeah, I think I miscalculated the price because it took me thousands (I think about 20,000) of units of iron to repair the ship the 1st time. I didn't account for the fact that far less scrap is needed when its a higher tier. I didnt try to land at the market that had not spawned in. I thought I was hovering above the market. I was waiting for it to spawn in so I could land. Unfortunately the no fly zone spawned around me and I was smashed instantly. I could not avoid the no fly zone because it was not there.

Thanks. I tried to do that but obviously got it wrong. It felt like the brakes were robbing my forward momentum so I released them. The result was me dropping like a stone.

I have been playing for 3 weeks and What the OP is saying rings true to me. I have been going through my talents in a fairly balanced way and after 3 weeks I'm reasonably good at lots of things. I have decided that I like ship building and I want to do PvP also. So, I had a look at the talents to see what I could do to specialise. I thought that maybe as well as ship building I could offer an upgrade service. For example, I come visit you and upgrade all your fuel tanks for a fee. However, its as the OP says. Most players can upgrade their own tanks as well as be skilled in other areas as well. Specialising does not look as though its going to be as viable as I thought it might be. As, some others have pointed out the resource duplication that some players participated in seems to have unbalanced things somewhat, so, I can see the desire by some for a wipe. I can see both sides though. The reason I waited for beta before getting the game was that beta (as far as I am aware) generally means the game is feature complete and has some bugs which need to be ironed out. The game feels to me that it is actually in alpha. I hope they can get things sorted. Maybe they will have to make a 6th or maybe 7th tier so that it takes say 6 months to reach 6th tier in a skill and 12 months to tier 7?

The last one was pretty funny. Nice looking ship

Yes, your continued assumptions really make me think your a dick

Thats pretty much exactly what I tried to do. Unfortunately keeping my speed low enough to not burn up allowed gravity to pull me into the ground

Thanks. The stopping power is fine when I'm not loaded (which I wasn't this time). I was basically stationary at the time. I think the no fly zone spawned (loaded) with me inside it. The other times I crashed I had up to 600t on board yes it was a problem and I'll look to getting more brakes. I have also watched a video and realise that my re-entry strategy was incorrect I was trying to come in on an angle (as in real world physics) which basically ends up with me slamming into the ground (game physics)

I was using tier 1 and tier 2. Mostly putting my phone on the mouse button and then doing stuff around the house.

1) I don't intend to have every talent maxed out. I'm sure there are some talents you don't have maxed out yet. I have been playing for 3 weeks. 2) I don't have higher tier scrap and cant afford it presently. 3) Its hard to tell where the no fly zone is when half the market has not spawned in yet. Pretty sure thats why I was destroyed instantly. The no fly zone spawned with me in it. 4) Small core. The ship looks like a fishing trawler with the top of the Territory scanner coming through the deck so it looks like a mast (radar on top) 5) Your presumptions really make me think

Just finished repairing my ship for the 3rd time (completely totalled every item) . Each time it has taken me several hours to repair the ship, which is incredibly boring and uses up game time I'd rather spend doing something else. Anyway, I decide to head off and realise I need a bit of fuel. So I decided to head to market before heading out. The landing pad does not spawn in until I'm almost past it. The suddenly "you are in a no fly zone". Explosion and my ship is flung to the ground outside the market. Large container and all engines gone. At least my territory scanner survived this time. So, now, due to lag, glitch , whatever... I cant do what I logged on to do. I cant repair my ship and make the 1 hour plus trip. That's it for my gaming time I had after work. I really cant be bothered spending the whole night repairing again. That's what I did last night and the night before that.

I think he is talking about the one that reduces the mass/weight of fuel in the tank and not the one that increases capacity

I'm pretty sure we will see dedicated atmo ships and dedicated space ships. Flying a hybrid will be death against a dedicated ship. So, yes atmo ships will look nicer. I dont mind the cubes. The reason I dont mind them is they are the most logical shape ...... even in the real world (if we had capable tech). With no air or gravity to worry about a cube or a sheet with all thrusters on one side and all guns on the other is the logical shape. I can see 2 ways they can change this: 1) Change the laws of space which will suck (pun intended) IMO. 2) Make the angle of honeycombe important. Those who have played "world of tanks" will know exactly what I am talking about. So, if there is a high chance for a ricochet against angled honeycombe or its much harder to penetrate and angled block (just like in real life) then we would start to see angled designs appear. Also PvP would require more pilot skills as you would need to keep your angles pointing at the target. We might even see cargo ships with angled rear for protection. Problem is, it might be too much information and slow the game too much.

Having just crashed my ship for the 2nd time I would love a repair service. I had to repair the ship on Thades took quite a few hours. I assumed the reason my high altitude lift was poor was due to the advertised thinner atmosphere. Apparently not because I just crashed on Alioth LOL (seems 500t was too much) Anyway as a player who has been playing a few weeks I have no idea how I would contact a repair service. Soooooo, no wonder they have no business. Actually just reading Mordgier's post (above mine). I never thought about asking on support channel. I'll try that now. EDIT: So I asked support and a player is comming over to repair my ship. whilst I was discussing it, 2 other players said "wait, there is a repair service I need repairs" So, the same player now has 3 jobs on. I guess there just needs to be a way new players can know about and access services?

Hi, just had a forced 5 days offline due to PC dying and the replacement MB being faulty. Lucky me. Just tried to get into the game. You know, I have to check that at least talents are training. Anyway. Login timeout, again and again. I thought maybe the server is down but then do they communicate that anywhere but in game? How are we supposed to know if the server is down. So, is my server timeout issue an issue a lot of people are having and should I make a support ticket or is the server just down currently. Cant find any info on the forum. EDIT: I since found a forum post about timeout. I rebooted my modem and was able to login into the game. Was that why, I dont know but if your having issues it might be worth a try.
