    Not really, but I'm looking forward to the flamewar that will erupt when some Newbro looses 500$ in DAC to a random guy. It will be hilarious

    Might be not big, so? Then you just have to take a price that is 500% more than the minerals used...When you are too lazy to mine and build it yourself, or you don't have time, that's your problem then. Or buy the minerals and build it, be a bit creative

    Pssssssst don't tell everyone that they have to worry about their DACs. It's perfectly safe and fine to carry them around. Even outside of that safezone. Please get your DACs and bring them to your underground base. Fill out a form I will provide so that your safe passage there is guaranteed

    Why shouldn't they? Works in eve....

    In the DUE interview jc told us: no leaking of oxygen from a spaceship. So at first there will be only a simple model like: it's a ship so it has atmosphere. No physics and calculations

    It would be totally dumb to let players PAY in order to get them a safe zone, a star system, whatever....That's just pay to win and against emergent gameplay. DU HAS to be p2p because of the singleshard. Not only for upkeep but for updates. Buy game, play until update and then leave because you don't want to buy the expansion....doesn't work that well you know? And there are DACs if you can't pay those 15 bucks

    Good interview, loved it. Nice work there guys

    With conventional engines (type: exhaust something) it's completely impossible as a whole, because c is the limit and fast as hell but in terms of traveling times to another star it's ridiculously slow. With time dilation and length contraction it's faster for the passenger, but still won't get you anywhere far. You would need 100.000 years to cross our galaxy and 25.000 to reach canis major (next dwarf galaxy). You could do ftl travel (which is in-game too), but even with speeds above c, let's say 10.000c, you need 2,5 years to go to canis major, yay we're so fast! Let's go to andromeda...250 years. On to m51 - 2500 years. To the edge of observable universe 4,6million years - with 10000c. I'd be surprised even when we someday be able to reach the next star. When you introduce real orbital mechanics then good luck on hitting that planet in the first place and then braking for like 5 days so you don't get a nice slingshot out of that system again. Would be fun though, but I think most people won't be able to do it It should be a long ride to the next planet, even with ftl. Space is supposed to be wide and huge. Even in a game it should be that way, because the scope of the universe is so hard to grasp. Transport that awesome feeling you sometimes get while looking at the stars to DU. Then it'll grand

    Do contracts for others Gain money Go to market hub Buy ship Profit (at least for the seller)

    This. And Ironbank has all V (through Skill injectors) with 486million sp. Dr caymus (no skill injectors, only time) is at 320million.

    That's how you roll it baby

    So your alt accounts from China work well then?
  14. Lethys
    Bad idea, that's not.the point if a SINGLE shard
  15. Lethys
    Like pirates want your stuff. Np with that mechanic, good and old

    It's a sandbox. Why punish killers with debuffs? Why not just setting up a player run police to kill those people first? Why not defending your dudes yourself? Why not accepting contracts miners set up to protect them? Why not hiring Mercs? Why not being smart and think about safety before you go mining? All above can be copy/past to building stuff, mining, running around, exploring, etc. With debuffs on the killer you only generate a society that will attack in waves or with such huge numbers that those debuffs don't count. PLUS you are killing EVERY emergent gameplay! So no, that's just a totally bad idea and against the whole idea of a sandbox with emergent gameplay.

    I find pve totally senseless, no fun, no thrill, not hard. No need for me to implement something like that
  18. Lethys
    Like it. It should be hard to do stuff. Lone wolves have to live with the fact that they can't just build a space station. And the reward for doing so as a community/org will be much greater. Nothing to add here, like your thoughts
  19. Lethys
    You just have to be crazy assuming anyone in boo would be intelligent enough to push such a feat >
  20. Lethys
    What he said. And you know, Landmark != DU
  21. Lethys
    There will be WIPES. No you can't keep anything

    we have our own farmers and org-pusher-to-be-top-member-wise from india, but tyvm

    Well 'scaled appropriately' is a wide definition. Scale our universe down by a factor 100 (earth dia 12k - DU ~ 100) or even 1000, even FTL (lets say 20c) won't get you anywhere near the galactic center which is some 25k light years away. So it would only be 250 LY in this model and you make that trip in 12,5 years - not cool. If you want a vast galaxy, you can do it. There are estimated 20k stars within 100ly from the sun (so 1ly here - trip: 18 days). Which would be enough of course, but players would still only inhabit a fraction of one galaxy. You only get to know the direct neighbours of our sun. I think that this kind of model would suffice, because you just have to have the feeling of a vast, dangerous, enormous and living galaxy. Travelling further will just not be possible, it would take (even with 20c) too long. Depends what they do with those probes though...

    getting as fast to another planet as possible, build an underground base (or floating-depends) there, gather ressources and build fancy stuff to kill people Oh and build spacewhale drones

    You need lube for the butthurt? Cheese to the whine? Show me where BOO touched you
