does this count ppl more than once if they passed through twice? cause then it would be 490 individuals - not counting the same person going more than once to the market ofc in that timespan
so depending how you count, this could be anywhere from 1 to 980 individual ppl

If they don't stick to their original promise here then many many players will be out.
Thats why there are safezones. That's why you shouldn't be in the ffa Zone if you arent prepared to lose stuff. Dont really see how this doesn't work. With the right mechanics and a good and well prepared devteam.....oh, I see the problem now

Good for NQ to officially say something which players pointed out months ago.
Third blog will be more interesting tho and we will see if they keep communicating or let it die again
-
Yes this isn't space engineers
-
So 0.25 is around the corner because we get all these updates?
I doubt they learned anything, future will tell if this is the new way of communication or just another "we heard you".
Can't really say I hope it's true this time, they first have to REALLY communicate for a long time before I even remotely give them any credit

Funny, I see the OP as evidence of why they will be a big deal. Because the ability to "offer jobs to have resources / items delivered to a place of my choice" is already there! You just have to use discord or at least in some way actually talk to other people to arrange them.
And yet, there are clearly many people who play but are unwilling to engage in that way. A mission system could be what connects the anti-social to other players to perform these jobs.
Yup, we'll see in some weeks how it's done. Be prepared to pay a lot of money for those deliveries tho XD

Do you think it would be economically sensible for people to run those jobs you would post? Or would people be able to make a lot more money in the same amount of time mining and selling to bot orders? Say you can mine 200kl per hour and sell at 25 quanta per kl, that means you're making about 5 million per hour. If your hauling job is going to take someone a total of 30 minutes to complete, would you be paying them anywhere near 2.5 million? If not why would they do it instead of the mining?
That's exactly why "missions" wont be such a big deal as ppl think. Because they're only contracts and not a whole NEW gameplay loop

TL:DR You stay, you pay. Ship's towed pleb, impound fee based on ship size and mass. All market problems solved.
Temporarily at least.
All those suggestions are well and nice and all but NQ dreams of a civilization with "potentially millions of players". Servertech has to work with AT LEAST some hundred constructs around or it's good bye civilization

That's kind of exaggerated and not productive
Hows that exaggerated when ppl post about lags in pvp with some constructs? And they literally need to "download" the damage? Or when I load my surroundings for 20min?
13 minutes ago, Dr Rhubarb said:This is a bash that the game is not good and they should hire others with knowledge which is just such a great approach.
Because it isn't. And NQ clearly have little experience with MMOs and how ppl use the systems and mechanics in place hence why others with more xp would certainly do better

Yup, I god damn feel that
15 minutes ago, Dr Rhubarb said:The post is counterproductive because a new player that is reading you post will get the impression the game is bad, the devs are bad, and the community is negative, and they will likely leave. But I assumed something there. I assumed you want the game to succeed since you have been here since the beginning and are so active. So if you want the game to grow and succeed, then why aren't your posts more productive, positive, or encouraging for new players of the community? You seem to have a lot of knowledge of the game and you should, but your history of posts show that you really are a terrible ambassador for this game.
Not the guy for positivity, never was. Thats something for others, not me. Never wanted to be an ambassador of du nor is it my goal to get anyone playing the game. I just tell ppl how it is to play, how performance is and how mechanics are. And all of that was pretty bad the last 2 years and nothing really improved - still loading stuff for minutes, still lags, still very bad UI with basic functionality missing. So yeah, newbros deserve to know that too, if they leave because of that and can't handle a random guy on some forum then it's maybe best they don't play a mmo

Can see it but don't agree on anything you said. Ymmv
Also, maybe quote ppl next time xD didn't see my first post and meant my second one with my statement, but hey. Still disagree

Only to be shure and not leaving because of a misunderstanding. There is no LUA or whatever possibility to mount - lets say 10 or 100 turrets on a ship and give a command to auto fire all weapons to an opponent? You have to control each single weapon with a real player and the player aims and fires?
No, it's lock and fire. No aiming involved. You stare at a screen for hours. Click enemy to autoaim and click again to fire weapons. Thats it.
Can't fly a battleship with 100 guns solo, you need a Crew to repair too.
9 minutes ago, DocOrange said:I found exactly this in the following video. So there must be a way to do this.
Afaik 3 guns is max for Solo. If you can actually do more then im pretty sure it will be nerfed. NQ always wanted this to be a group effort and not a solo game

So do you need a crew for the large combat ships?
Yes, ofc. It's a mmo. You cant do the same stuff alone as 20 ppl combined

JC also said on several occasions that he saw no reason to assume that it would not possible to meet the release date on the roadmap of end 2021, anyone understanding the amount of work left to do and especially the list of feature JC brought in as “coming in the next year” towards the end of 2021shoudl have been a clear sign of the many red flags regarding hitting a 2021 release.
I think this is where they lost all support from KS Backers from long time ago. And this is the reason we dont believe a single word of what they say, knowing the State of du for years.
Get it to alpha again, fix broken stuff, communicate what you do next and then start over. Otherwise I really cant See this working

Incorrect. This is not a public forum. This is a private forum owned by a company they can set the rules and what can and can't be said.
Sure. But everyone can post everywhere he wants, not whatever he wants. Exactly what I stated

I started playing this game and it is a lot of fun! Some of the construct ships and buildings are amazing like the huge space port. Now all of this took some time and people to build I am sure, but since I have been playing (started two weeks ago) I have seen maybe 15 people in total. Even at the district 6 hub which according to youtube videos is a main hub I am lucky to see another person there.
Are people farther out in space and no longer on Alioth? I know it is a laggy planet now with all the abandon constructs everywhere, but I am sure NQ is going to clean that up soon.. ( At least I hope so, district 6 is more of a junkyard than a trade hub...lol)
I just can't figure out where everyone went...
Since there's only building and lua for now, all players left are REALLY into building. Hasnt changed for years so they're dedicated.
Pvpers left because its beyond boring and bad
Industrialists can't really do anything with their products because markets are dead
Yup. Most ppl left and may return. Or not.

-Production orders (source and deliver 100L basic screws) either purchase from market or manufacture yourself
-Salvage loot from wrecked ship at x/y/z cords and deliver (rewards dependant on safe zone location or not)
-Destroy pirate base/ship ( NPC )
-Intercept cargo shipment at x/y/z cords (Again NPC hauler) and deliver
- why would anyone do that? That's basically what the market does anyway
- for that they would need to have a rng Generator for wrecks. Which they don't
- no npc in du, so again. First they would need that mechanic
- see 3
So what is left imho:
- deliver x to player or aphelia for reward. That may create one more faucet for quanta but that depends on how much aphelia pays for those....."""""pve missions"""""
- ..... Nothing more?

Wish there were still kickstart options by the time I discovered the game ?
Wish we had the promised game by now. Cant have everything

Thought it appears automatically.I disabled that long ago in the community page while it still worked
4 hours ago, Dhara said:The rest of them will be go mine X and deliver it to me. The mission system won't keep people from having to mine. It will be a lot of big guys trying to convince the small guys that mining for them at a loss is in the way to go.
Bounties might be nice when ava comes, until the average player realizes that he will spend more in ship parts, ammo, fuel and time than the bounty is worth.
Until they fix the grind of mining and the costs of basic industry, I think this game has about had it.Yup exactly.
And bounties with ava still are at least 2 years away...... you know, after they release du in 8 months with all promised mechanics. But thats no problem because "there are no red flags"

No NPCs = No Game; A question for the Devs

sure, PVE and NPCs would give people something to do and may be used as a quanta faucet and I would appreciate NQ for implementing this
but for me personally, PVE is always boring. once you know how to do it, it's just blitzing through it to maximize quanta/hour
