    Hello Noveans!

    Currently, screen unit content is an HTML page. We synchronize screen unit content between players by sending the whole HTML; however, screen unit HTML content can be pretty big and uses a lot of bandwidth and frame time to render when updated every frame by a programming board or control unit. This has a significant impact on client performance for players, especially when a lot of screen units are in the same area. 
    Performance improvement is of paramount importance to us and an ongoing request we get from players. Consequently, it is something we will continually work to achieve. 
     
    To address this, we are bringing a possible solution to PTS so that players can try it out. This prototype involves using a new API to draw screen units with a dedicated Lua script. This will use simple drawing commands like
    drawRectangle(a,b,c,d) drawText(“Hello DU”) Simple actions like setTextContent will not be affected. 

    In addition to performance improvements, this new tech also allows for some unprecedented possibilities to create even better screen displays than before. Check out this video to get a taste of what it can do! 
     

    We realize that this change will mean that players won’t be able to use SVGs on screens anymore, and that SVGs are easier and more flexible than uploading static images. It’s important to note that the new Lua system will still allow you to draw complex images. You don't really need any Lua knowledge, and it’s easier than the DPU system.

    Additionally, we added an option to deactivate HTML screen units for players who experience the worse framerate. We expect this to bring significant performance improvements in markets and parking areas.
    Once the change is fine-tuned, thanks to your feedback after trying it on the PTS, we will announce a transition period to allow players time to switch over to the new API before we disable support for HTML-based screen units. We will continue to support both techs during this transition period.

    We strongly encourage everyone to check out this change when it’s available on PTS and share your constructive feedback with us on the forum.

    Hello everyone, I see there is some confusion about the rules.
     
    To clarify, the safe zone is intended to be a safe zone.
    If a construct is inside the safe zone, and you do not have the appropriate rights to use it, then leave it alone. If you bring (through any mechanic) bring the construct outside of the safe zone to destroy/capture it, you will get into trouble. It's that simple.
    Pushing, Manoeuvring, Bumping, Docking, or in any other way moving a construct that does not belong to you, or you do not have the rights for into pvp space is against the rules.
    It's just common sense, the safe zone is intended to be a safe zone. Period.
     
    I hope this clears up any confusion on the topic.

    NQ-Deckard reacted to Leniver in LENI tips of the week: How to create a core blueprint with all handling   
    Hello to everyone,

    I decided to make this post so people know how create a core blueprint and being sure that all the handling will be applied.
    The handling on a core blueprint is a bit weird, it seems NQ doesn't have test every case.

    The blueprint system is separated in 2 different kind of blueprint:
    "Core blueprint": it's a schema that will allow you to create "single time blueprint" "Blueprint": it's a single time use blueprint
    How the handling works when placing down a blueprint?
    When you create a blueprint from a core blueprint it takes the skill saved on the core blueprint.
    If the player that place the ship has higher skill, he will apply the player skills. 
    If the player that place the ship has lower skill, he will apply blueprint skills.

    How the handling works when creating a core blueprint?
    When you create a core blueprint the handling skills are not saved correctly.
    If the player that create the core blueprint has any handling skills, the handling is reset (It's the bug!)
    If the player that create the core blueprint has no handling skills, the handling skills are saved in the core blueprint.

    The tips:
    To be sure that the handling skills are saved in the core blueprint you need to have a character without skills.
    To make that, thanks to NQ that remove all the skills through VR, you need to use a VR station and create the core blueprint in VR.

    Example of setup:
    1 container 1 Surrogate VR station 1 Surrogate Pod Station
    Put down the container, surrogate station and the surrogate pod.
    Set a name for the surrogate pod and activate it. (wait ~5 minute that the surrogate pod is registred by NQ)
    Use the surrogate station and search for the name you have entered.
    Once you are in VR, go in build mod on your construct and create a core blueprint.
    Put the core blueprint in the container (so you don't loose it when exiting the VR)
    Exit the VR and you are done.

    I hope it will help you.
