Your Tour Guide,

Can you guys add Aegis as an origin location?

Hello Noveans,
 
Major changes are coming to PvP in Dual Universe with the 1.4 update! We've engaged in numerous productive discussions both with members of our PvP community as well as internally. The balancing changes being introduced to PvP are a result of these conversations.
 
Before delving into the specifics, let's discuss the reasoning behind these changes.
 
In the early days of our beta, we started without shields, leading to a majority of PvP being fought in large cubic ships, which were generally less aesthetically pleasing. Our goal was to cultivate a space where players could transition from using thick voxel layers, leading us to introduce shields into the game for the first time about two years ago with the 0.26 Apollo update.
 
Shields quickly became an essential aspect of PvP combat. Consequently, ships rapidly evolved from having vast voxel quantities to featuring sleek designs with minimal voxels, presenting smaller targets and evading most incoming damage. This led to the inverse of the cube situation, with ships built into long sticks, sometimes devoid of voxels entirely.
 
In several previous updates, we have tried to strike a balance, providing players a reason to own ships that are not just cubes or sticks, but amazing constructs of beauty and lethality with your own personal style!
 
With the 1.4 update, we've revisited many aspects and made changes you’ll want to know:
 
We have revamped the hit-and-miss formulas used in the back end. Shields are less likely to serve as huge one-time batteries and will function more like periodic protection. The venting cycles are shorter and more frequent, allowing you to vent more often but for smaller amounts. Weapon Tracking has also undergone significant change, damage evasion is now a trait more likely to benefit smaller, swiftly moving and highly maneuverable ships, while larger ships have access to more potent stasis weapons to combat smaller ships. Honeycomb now has approximately twice as many hit points, enhancing its importance for tanking while your shields are being vented. Hoverseats and Cockpits now have a higher fitting capacity, enabling you to equip more weapons or a larger radar.  
We hope these changes will enhance PvP enjoyment for everyone. To help you better prepare for the update, here is a complete list of all PvP changes coming to Dual Universe in the 1.4 update, though please note that these updates are still subject to change:

We hope that this preview of the PvP changelog has armed you with the information you need to prepare for update 1.4, and look forward to seeing your new warships after the update!
-The Novaqark Team
 

Hello, Noveans!
 
Update 1.4 is just days away, and we’re excited for you to experience the new PvE feature, where you'll battle against mysterious foes emerging from an unknown gravitational signature on the system's outskirts. As you fight to counter this sudden onslaught, you'll also buy time for scientists to identify the threat. The update’s narrative will progressively unlock through server-wide milestones as you complete combat missions.
 
But how can you prepare to engage with this feature on day one? We’re writing to share some information to assist you.
 
First, how can you take missions?
 
You’ll discover a new tab in your missions overview (F8) labeled Alien Warfare.
 


From here, you can choose the difficulty tier you’d like to tackle, specify the planet near which your mission will commence, see the restrictions (more on that below), accept your mission, and review the narrative as it unlocks!
 

 
Remember, there is no collateral needed for combat missions; you can take them on for free.
 
Once the mission is accepted, you can navigate to the mission entry portal, and when in proximity, click the button to teleport you, your passengers, and your ship to the mission site.
 

 
Should you wish to abort a mission, navigate to the beacon within the mission site and press the teleport button again in your mission interface (F8). If, for any reason, you can’t find the beacon, you can also set your waypoint there from the mission menu.
 
There are restrictions on what you can bring into each mission Tier
 
Forbidden in all Tiers:
Resurrection nodes Surrogate Pods Surrogate Stations Repair Units Warp Drives Core Units (Your ship’s Core Unit doesn’t count, but you can’t bring any additional cores into the mission, such as undeployed ones in your inventory.)
Very Easy Missions:
Reward: 260,000 quanta Max Mass: 50t Time Limit: 15 minutes Max Crew: 2 Maximum Ship Core Size: Extra Small Forbidden Items: Small, Medium, and Large Shields; Small, Medium, and Large Weapons  
Easy Missions:
Reward: 900,000 quanta Max Mass: 150t Time Limit: 25 minutes Max Crew: 3 Maximum Ship Core Size: Small Forbidden Items: Medium and Large Shields; Medium and Large Weapons  
Medium Missions:
Reward: 2,500,000 quanta Max Mass: 400t Time Limit: 30 minutes Max Crew: 4 Maximum Ship Core Size: Medium Forbidden Items: Large Shields; Large Weapons  
Hard Missions:
Reward: 5,000,000 quanta Max Mass: 1500t Time Limit: 40 minutes Max Crew: 5  
Very Hard Missions:
Reward: 7,000,000 quanta Max Mass: 2000t Time Limit: 50 minutes Max Crew: 6  
Tips on Completing Missions
 
The objective of the missions is to eliminate enemy forces that spawn within the time limit. You can monitor mission progress and remaining time here:
 

 
Bear in mind that enemy weapons will target you upon entry and are accurate. They will spawn and remain relatively close to you, and they will maintain range with your ship should you decide to kite.
 
We recommend equipping your vessel with potent close-range weapons and the highest tier of shield you can afford. You might also find it beneficial to vent your shields periodically when there's a lull in the combat. Experimenting with ammunition types and shield resistance settings will help you find your most effective setup.
 
While the standard piloting controls will work, you could explore player-made piloting and combat Lua control programs. These can enhance your effectiveness and ease your engagement with the enemy. DU Creators, a player-run website and Discord server, is a great place to start looking for new ships, buildings, and Lua scripts. However, if you don’t want to use custom Lua scripts, the game’s regular controls are still effective, especially with the use of the Tactical Map:
 

 
Lastly, consider planning your logistics. Mission portals will spawn near the planet you designate, and you’ll need to fly to it and return to resupply after the mission. Would a static ground base, an orbital station, or a larger carrier ship minimize the time you spend between missions rearming, refueling, and repairing? The choices are yours to experiment with. 

Update 1.4 is launching on the 20th of June 2023. Servers will go down at 08:00 UTC, and we aim to reopen them at 12:00 UTC. Prepare for a fight, Noveans!
 

Ita nice to see Novaquark finally listen to the cries of their community. I hope it's not too little too late.
 
I remember Deckard saying to ke directly that adding NPC PvE was never gonna happen due to the conflicting ideals for the game being player driven... I am glad they're realizing how badly it's needed. I may come back for a bit when this gets added.
 
Side note, jettesoning cargo is something you'd see if a real pirate was on your @SS. Instead of stopping players from doing it, with items being deleted.... drop the items as a lootable container behind the ship to be used as a decoy/dropping weight. Pirates can then double back for the package. Add more gameplay, don't restrict it further... I am so tired of yall restricting gameplay, so much I could / did in Beta can no longer do on the launch game because of that mentality. 
 
Apart from that, you didn't address the largest complaint right now on Steam reviews, and that is the game is a second job to play. It still needs some heavy balancing, and nothing in this post about the future has even hinted at that.  You can try to stifle players, but whales are still running alt mission running/field mining... with the solo player left to eat crumbs..  
 
All that I see left in terms of players are mostly hard-core PVP holdouts. Most of the PvE crowd beyond pure builders have already left... and a lot of them feel pushed out by PVP, and how BAD the pvp actually is. If you don't improve the overall combat experience...  will just end up with meh PvE, and lackluster PvP. 

Hello, everyone! I'm Mark van den Heuvel, known to many of you as NQ-Deckard, a member of the Production team here at Novaquark.
 
First, to those of you who celebrated your new year recently, I wish you a wonderful new year, and I look forward to seeing all of your creations in-game. As we step into 2023, I want to bring you all up to speed on where we're at with Dual Universe and where we are going.
 
After our launch last September, we have all worked hard to squash remaining bugs and improve balancing. We also delivered the promised digital Kickstarter rewards to our backers.
 
As is always the case with Dual Universe, work does create itself in front of us, and we have a great deal to work on and improve. One of our current central goals is to enhance the gameplay experience and catch up with some features and quality-of-life improvements, particularly some of those requested by our community.
 
Let me walk you through some of what we have planned for you both soon and further down the road.
 
Planets

We’ve recently released a new version of Talemai, and we’re continuing work on the others. After reviewing our progress, we've decided to take extra time to make the new planets truly feel different with new art, new terrain, and more exciting features. This means they are coming at a slower pace and possibly in a different order than we had envisioned. Expect new teasers, concept art, and images from us soon™!

Combat Missions

We had decided early in the life of Dual Universe not to focus on a PvE combat system, given other priorities. With all of the feedback we’ve received since the beginning of the game, PvE combat has consistently remained a highly requested feature from our community. We always try to listen to your feedback, and I’m happy to announce that we have begun work on implementing the first iteration of a PvE combat system into the game!
We’re planning the first version to be a PvE mission system that takes players into combat in their ships. The missions will scale in size to allow all players (solo or part of a larger group) to participate.
 
We’re very excited about the PvE combat feature. It will add more engaging gameplay for all Noveans and allow players to try out the rigors of space combat before heading out to battle with other players in Dual Universe PvP.
 
We are still in the early development of this feature, and it will take time, but we are already looking forward to seeing you all trying it in future PTS sessions. Your feedback will be instrumental in our developing PvE combat in Dual Universe.

PvP Improvements

Following a recent and very successful round table discussion with members of our PvP community, we are reviewing all the feedback gathered and our own data to determine what changes we will make. We are considering increasing the importance and/or requirement of having voxel armor onboard successful PvP ship designs, finding ways to encourage multi-crew ship setups, and potentially restricting the ability to remove cargo while in combat. Stay tuned for more exciting developments on PvP.

Contest Winner Constructs

Before launch, we ran the Build Your Legacy Contest for players to design starting outposts and speeders, with the winning entries being added to Dual Universe. We are currently working to make the constructs that the contest winners submitted available as options to select during the first start of the game, and we are also looking to make these available for purchase in the UEF shop. The contest entries were original and impressive. I want to congratulate all of you who took part. 

Maintenance Unit

A complete rework of the repair unit was planned for the 1.2 release just before the holidays. The feature still needed more work, and we decided to delay its release with plans to include it in the upcoming 1.3 update. When finished, the repair unit will be replaced with the maintenance unit, which can repair constructs with scrap and disassemble constructs. However, construct disassembly is the feature that still requires the most work, and we are determining if the feature will make it into the 1.3 release. When added, this feature will remove the pain of finding that one last bit of voxel in a construct and make redesigning builds easier, with the Maintenance Unit taking down constructs for you.

Joystick Support

Dual Universe already has a basic system to connect joysticks to the game. However, these were never cohesively connected with the Lua system. We will change that, allowing players to map analog and button inputs from Joysticks, Throttles, Pedals, and even simple Gamepads into Dual Universe. This will significantly improve the flying experience for non-Lua developing players and open new doors for Lua developers through projects such as Lua arcade games, custom flight control systems, and other nifty things our community creates.

Default Lua Configuration Rework

Once we’ve added Joystick support, we will redesign the default Lua scripts we give to players. Our community has long requested this update, and we want to ensure we deliver it. We will add a full suite of features and improvements. This means new Lua flight control systems, the ability to toggle widgets on and off without requiring Lua code, and integrating several systems not fully encapsulated in current control scripts, such as Anti-Gravity Generators.

Fuel Intake Changes

This has been a popular demand by our players, and we are looking into options to allow players to refuel tanks from another element. Currently, we plan to make a  'Fuel Intake' able to act as a proxy for a single fuel tank. This feature is still on the drawing board and may change as we dive deeper into it.
 
-------------------------------------------

As always, thank you for reading this short overview of some of what’s coming up. I hope you have a clearer picture of the direction we're taking Dual Universe in, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the forums. Have a wonderful day.
- Mark (NQ-Deckard)
 

Well, experienced that..from the other side. And you're right.. it's easy enough to 'dodge a gank' by just tapping or stay max 30 mins..and that's the exact reason why this gameplay was bad. There was no risk..you exactly knew whats coming.
What we will get now is real risk vs reward..where you might risk to stay longer..with the increasing risk of encounter a random patrol.

But i understand why you're pissed...you're used to a broken game mechanic that allowed pvpers to gank and controll 99% of pvp space resources from a gui list, and i assume you liked that a lot.
It can hurt getting something taken away..get over it and see it as what it is, a fix to improve the game..even if it comes very late

Because a crosshair on your ass as soon as you touch an asteroid is nowhere close to 'risk vs reward'.
That mechanic was purely designed to cater gankers with quick nobrainer prey..and it's good and healthy for the game that this crap will be gone soon.
 
Wan't to gank or controll all pvp space resources?..work for it..

No.
 

No.
 

Rebuilding Helios will be easier with our enhanced Blueprint Deployment Tools.
 
bptoolv3.mp4  
You can omit any element, swap missing honeycomb, and soon after launch, snap blueprints to deployed cores.
 
What will you build first, Novean?

You can believe whatever you want, it doesn't make it true. You're also wrong. Hex ownership is all that matters.

That's not what the text said at the time (quoted), but thank you all the same. It's been fixed.
 
And the event will be crashing clients, and probably the server as well. Plus there's the ammo thing.
 

How am I preparing? Lets see here...
 
One week off of work, I might extend it to two weeks.
Telling family I love them, but to leave me alone during this period.
Ensuring the abc fire extinguisher is fully charged and ready at a moment's notice.
Hoping and praying whatever building the servers are in do not spontaneously go up in flames.
.........
Prepping a post in the discord announcement channels advising everyone that the servers have crashed and to please be patient.  

" The talent point and quanta awards will be given on the final day of each month for the first six months of release. Again, you’ll need an active subscription to receive them. "
So, does that mean we will get the first awards on September 30?

With no adjacency bonuses, so who cares, really? 

Please give us some dates. For anything. Even providing the month involved in any of the above would be of great benefit to so many people. 

when will NQ finally adress the VERY useless UI for talents? you need to click 4 billion times to spend all your 88,8 million SP. that's ridiculous. And it's been that way since alpha 1. 
 
GL and HF spending those folks, I certainly won't

Really? I could fill that joint up by myself. 
 
Thanks but no thanks. You're going to have to do better considering your showroom would be like a small shed compared to the actual showrooms we already have. 
 
But thanks for giving us something no one asked for as opposed to making those elements you said you didn't have time to make.

So they said they are adding stabilization in Mercury.  Does that mean they are going to announce if they are going to wipe or not? Because that would really stabilize the game. 

Please give us some dates. For anything. Even providing the month involved in any of the above would be of great benefit to so many people. 

Please give us some dates. For anything. Even providing the month involved in any of the above would be of great benefit to so many people. 

Not sure I want to ask new players to join DU when I cannot tell them if their efforts will be retained or lost. 

Also, with the TP reset and not knowing about any wipe details I'm lost as to what to spec. 

Please give us some dates. For anything. Even providing the month involved in any of the above would be of great benefit to so many people.
