    Looking for a serious organization to join! I have plenty of time and a strong desire to play this game! Interested in exploring and management!

    Best of luck. There are a few more serious organizations organizations out there. I would try to find one that is joining from another game as they already have a lot of the small things taken care of as far as understanding group management. Most of the orgs in DU are just learning how to exist.

    The tiles are not perfect hexagons, not even all hexagons. As is normal with geodesic domes, there have to be a few pentagons (normally made of 5 triangle sections).

    If you look at the map of Alioth, it is similar to this just with smaller territories (notice all of the hexagons are skewed because you can only build a plane with Regular hexagons):

    Its been stated that the subscriptions only begin at release.  An open beta with monthly payments is not an open beta, its just a game.

     

    To clarify, Dual Universe is not going to have an open beta. It will be a closed beta only accessible to people with Silver tier backing or above. (afaik)

    I don't want to complain, I just wanted to see if it was possible, and maybe find out what a game like that would be like. I'm still waiting for the ultimate sandbox game, and this one seemed pretty cool, but space engineers is more my speed currently, since I don't really get into multiplayer games. The reason I don't get into multiplayer is that I usually fall behind in game progress, and in PVP situations I'm just not very good. Something that I would like to see in a future video game is something with auto generated humans and cities that can be interacted with, and other complex cencepts like that.

    Okay, sorry for misunderstanding. Dual Universe is aiming to be a quite different game, there are basically no NPCs and most likely everything that you ever run across, whether it be ship or building, is going to have been made and put there by another player. There are no NPC or dev-created cities and no quests in the normal sense (you can be hired by other players to do stuff). This is a community game in every sense of the term. While you could play solo by flying off into the void of space to find your own planet to play on, this is not going to be the norm.

    And as far as single player, as the others have said, it's just not possible. All of the extremely heavy lifting done in the background of this game is managed by the server so that the only thing (for the most part) that your computer is having to do it view the game.

    Are those topics ever going to be released? Or is it going to be "top secret?"

    They aren't "top secret". But I don't think that NQ will ever have a reason to release a bunch of bug discussions about a version of the game that no longer exists. I would assume that they are just going to be archived.

     

    It sounds to me like you are just trying to find something that NQ has done to complain about, but I may be wrong.

    I was able to find three threads on this topic in pre-alpha, but I don't think that it has been discussed in a public location yet. The majority of forum users were not able to read those threads and aren't going to understand why offline isn't going to be a thing in DU, beyond what Nyzaltar has posted above.

    Having several 'NPC-Space-Bosses" in game to defeat: 

    1. to defeat with only a/your Organization and there for to stimulate teamwork
    2. which can give cool rewards such as exceptional (parts) blue-prints or exceptional  materials
    3. and or some kinda reputation or temporaly buff (example: for 1 week 15% more resources when gathering)

    I do realize that this is an idea chat and you are welcome to wish for whatever you want, just keep in mind that NQ has stated that they plan to not have bosses as this game is supposed to be about the actual people in it and not about some fake goal handed to you by NQ.
