I started my engines close to the border, thinking she was going to be really long. Ended up with a lot of room up front. Is there a way to move the whole ship forward to be closer to the center?

*FIXED*
NQ got back to me and gave me these instructions:
Thanks for reaching out.
I'm sorry to hear about what you have experienced. To reduce lags and disconnects, please try these in-game graphics settings:
1. Set Dynamic Shadow settings to Low (not None)
2. Set Environment Shadow settings to Low (not None)
3. Turn off Volumetric Clouds
4 Reduce the number of thread counts to 2
After this, delete your shader cache as well. To delete the shader cache, navigate to %localappdata%\NQ\DualUniverse and delete the file shader_d3d11.cache, then try to relog.Worked for me

I haven't had this issue at market 17 specifically, but have had issues logging in at a certain location. Here are some options:
1. Clear your cache using the upper right menu in the login screen and try logging in again.
2. You can ask NQ for a teleport to a different area in discord or the in game support channel. I think they require tickets with logs now for teleports, so make a ticket first and reference it in your request in chat.3. If you do not have anything in your nanopack, another option is to select Force Respawn from the upper right corner menu on the login screen. If successful it will kill your character, clear your inventory of all items other than blueprints, schematics, scan results and compacted ship), and send you back to your nearest resurrection node.
My problem is that my ship is the closest respawn point and the ship is parked at Alioth 17. I will make a ticket. Is this 'normal'? I still have to pick up things at the market...
Thank you for the help.

I flew in to pick up some stuff at Alioth 17. Was waiting for the market to load up, then I got kicked from the game. Now when I try to log back in, the loading time is really really slow and I get kicked off the server before even loading up. Is this common? Is there a way to get back in? I have cleared my cache, but still not loading up.

The Talent Container Optimization = -5% Container Capacity mass when put down.
To what does the mass bonus apply?
The conatiner + the container content OR only the weight off the container?
The container can carry more mass. (more ore in the same container) It makes the container 'bigger'
Edit: If your container is already down, you can pick it up and replace it with 'backspace' to give it the new increase. Every new point into Container Optimization will require you to pick up the container and put it back down.

I don't believe it. The big corporations would cry their eyes out. I think this was a post to start conversation on the subject.

When I open a window in build it usually stays open but the opacity goes down. Starting yesterday, when I tab out of build helper the windows just close. Did I just push a wrong button somewhere? how do I get the windows to stay up after tabbing out of build helper?

Originally just wanted to point out a mistake and not getting to a pissing contest.
Right there is when you allege that if it's illegal in the real world it should be illegal in the game world. you were the one that related the game world is being the same as the real world as such you stated erroneous information. Not once did I say you specifically said in NQ, you in fact stated:
Which is incorrect information. If you were correct, NQ, Google, Tesla, Apple, Samsung, would all have pending lawsuits.
the lawsuit that you referred to that went against Google was many years ago and dealt with Homeland security as well as private info and violating witness protection programs because of the real time access of satellite information as well as vehicle tags and people's faces. Completely unrelated to somebody tagging IDs and times.
As far as laws being the same in game as far as real life then you have never heard of Grand theft Auto Watch Dog or so so many other titles.
it's quite simple you're going to think the way you want to think you will look nothing up because you wish to remain ignorant that's on you not me. I personally don't care if you see truth or not. USA is about choices, even if it is the choice to remain ignorant. Your aluminum foil hat is a bit crooked, better straighten that.
"Right there is when you allege that if it's illegal in the real world it should be illegal in the game world."
Right there? where??
"Now it's your turn. Explain to us how you justify an act in a game, that is illegal in real life. How can you see this as 'just part of the game'. Because something is used to do something legit, it should be allowed to be used for something not legit? Explain."
You started this conversation, and your jumping on the bandwagon... nothing about this post says that the in game act is illegal. It is clear that I sad - the act in the game, if done in RL would be illegal. I never said it should be illegal in the game. I don't like it because it is dirty gameplay. You like it because of reasons have have yet to give because you still haven't justified it.
Just to get this straitened out;
"Which is incorrect information. If you were correct, NQ, Google, Tesla, Apple, Samsung, would all have pending lawsuits."
They don't have pending lawsuits because they add as much BS into their TOS to cover their asses. But they do not have permission to all of your data. If you say that you can't pay the bills and they send you a copy of your current bank information showing you do in fact have money to pay the bill, that not illegal?? The important word here is permission.
My statement is "Companies get sued and have to pay large fines for doing what this player is doing in the game." This player is gathering information on other players WITHOUT permission.
"the lawsuit that you referred to that went against Google was many years ago and dealt with Homeland security as well as private info and violating witness protection programs because of the real time access of satellite information as well as vehicle tags and people's faces. Completely unrelated to somebody tagging IDs and times."
You just agreed with me. "Private info" It is absolutely related because of permission. They didn't have permission.
"As far as laws being the same in game as far as real life then you have never heard of Grand theft Auto Watch Dog or so so many other titles."
I never said that laws should be the same in game as in RL. I said it was dirty gameplay and I didn't like it. I also said I didn't like scamming out of kiosks, and that is also illegal if you were to do that in RL.
"USA is about choices, even if it is the choice to remain ignorant."
You have to be really dense to not understand what is happening in your own country. USA used-to-be about choices. It is now about one choice, the lowest common denominator choice. If you don't' know that, your ignorance is heavy, too heavy for you to carry. You are not in an echo chamber, keep politics out of this.
We're done here.

I don't have to edit anything. I never said that this guy is doing something illegal. I clearly said that if he was doing it in RL it would be illegal and companies have been sued for it.
"It is literally, in most parts of the world and defiantly in the USA, ILLEGAL. Companies get sued and have to pay large fines for doing what this player is doing in the game."
How does this translate to I said this guy is doing something illegal.
In my previous post, where the conversation began, I sad "1. I didn't say anything about planting luas on people or that the totem is somehow illegal or against policy. It's in the game and being used for dirty gameplay"
Go back and read the conversation from the beginning hero. you clearly missed some steps.

First, there's a different between something being legal and me agreeing with it ethically.
People use bots to scrape forums all the time.
There's no way to obtain my real name (or any PII) from the data available unless I actually post it, so feel free to bot away. Bots are already scraping every post in this very forum, programmatically extracting emails for spam lists. That's why you don't post information like that anywhere....
In the same way, there's no way to obtain PII (personally identifiable information) from someone's in-game avatar in DU...which is what people keep repeating time and time again. No one cares if your avatar is logged when visiting a market.
That isn't an invasion of privacy because that information isn't private. Nor is it remotely useful to track you as a human being...
There's a LOT to be concerned about with internet privacy, don't get me wrong...but this isn't really at the top of any list.
But that's not the point. The point is that I as a user cannot use a platform to harvest other players data for profit in RL, because it is illegal. Doing it in a video game, for character data without anyone knowing is dirty gameplay. It is in my post...
The point of the argument was to define dirty gameplay comparing it to RL examples.

You can't gather real names from people here and so can't linke anyone's posting habits to sell that. even if you wanted to. ANd according to the EULA you agreed with when you joined, NQ could so that, yes. COULD.. not saying they do, intent to or have..
And again, RL vs fictional in game .. you're reaching here.. beyond what is reasonable..
rnjesus..smh. I was giving a sarcastic example, that you took serious and didn't even understand. Why are you bringing up NQ???
That's enough hero, go back to the bench and relax. It's over now.

No one is taking any user information here.. user != ingame character
That's not how this conversation began. I was defining dirty gameplay. Your going to far, all of you are going to far to win an argument you can't win. If it was real life and I was taking your information without you knowing and profiting, it would be illegal period. Doing it in a video game is dirty gameplay. Keep up or get out.

Lol, people have some really weird ideas about privacy and law.
This very forum uses Google Analytics...it's literally the first lines of the source code. You're being tracked as you read this very message.
Collecting anonymous data without your consent isn't illegal in the US.
Collecting data and selling it to third parties isn't illegal, either! You must provide an opt-out form per California's new law (CCPA)...that doesn't make it illegal to sell your information without consent, it just mandates a method to opt-out of such transactions and requires you to burry some text in your TOUs.
Spamming people isn't even illegal, there's plenty of wiggle room in CANSPAM. Hate to break it to you, but the law in the US really doesn't care about your online privacy.
I don't know what you think people will do with this data that makes it so invasive...
Really. So if I start using this forum to gather real names form people and your posting habits, then sell that to a third party... it is not illegal, and your ok with it because its part of being on the forums?

It's all in every agreement you make all the papers you sign. All EULA has it as well as loan agreements, phone app installs, literally everything. Next time you get a chance read through the license you agree to that is 20 pages long and nobody ever reads it's there.
At best you can opt out of some of it with a written statement towards the company in question but not always. Depends on state you live in when it comes to the United States of A.
Show me in one of those EULA where I as a user can use a platform to take other users information without them knowing.
Did you even read my post? It's like you picked out the part you could object to, while ignoring the rest of it. When did I say that NQ can't collect our data? It is clear as day that I am talking about another player collecting data form other players without their knowledge.

Just chiming in. No this is not illegal. Ask Apple, Tesla, your local electric company... List is large
You are suggesting that big tech companies have never been sued for privacy issues? Are you being serious? I want to look up cases but I don't think it will help you. But off the top of my head, Goole for street view some years ago. Facebook with 5 billion a few years ago.. many more...

If you think creating a log of players who are visiting a market is dirt gameplay. Wait until you find out that you can actually blow up people's ships and murder them in this game!

Please provide us with te documentation showing this is the case. You are making a direct accusation towards someone else action here and I'd like to understand how you came to that conclusion. And no, this is not an opinion nor are you free to make such accusations without being able to back it up.
It's in the game for dirty gameplay how exactly? What evidence do you have to substantiate that statement?
Collecting data on which playerID was within a specific range of an elevator at a specific market hardly constitutes "dirty gameplay" and that is the only data this construct can collect.
Ok hero. The guy with 3 alt accounts is running a totem to gather your information without your permission, to then sell it to corporations. Does that sound familiar??
It is literally, in most parts of the world and defiantly in the USA, ILLEGAL. Companies get sued and have to pay large fines for doing what this player is doing in the game. What is wrong with your brain?
This is my justification for dirty gameplay. Allowing dirty gameplay sets a bad precedence, and is a negative variable when determining sustainability of a game.
If this player wants to be legit, then a sign needs to be put up that clearly states, IF YOU USE THIS AUCTION HOUSE YOUR NAME, TIME, CORPORATION INFORMATION WILL BE LOGGED AND USED AT OUR DISCRETION. Then the player is responsible for their privacy.
Now it's your turn. Explain to us how you justify an act in a game, that is illegal in real life. How can you see this as 'just part of the game'. Because something is used to do something legit, it should be allowed to be used for something not legit? Explain.

Imma jus' gonna stop you there fella'...
OP said nothing about embedding code in a player... And where the actual f... did you get the idea that someone took out MP15 "with this type of code"
That's some serious imagination you got there...
Unbridled extrapolation and crowbarring irrelevant shit like NQ's RDMS error on MP15 into an argument about data gathering is how groups like QAnon get their first toehold...
Shit may have got real but your arguments are anything but.
And... BOOM... now we have the expected ignorant, kneejerk personally-offended redneck responses... Just like Newsmax.
This needs to be nipped in the bud.- The game does NOT allow you to "Plant" LUA on someone.
A sensor can be used to detect the presence of a player or construct.
This is usually for automation, such as a sliding door, activating a screen or switching on lights.However, it can also store a timestamp and the ID of a player. THAT IS ALL...
- It can't tell what you're doing. It can't read the contents of your Nanopack.
The MP15 was disassembled by players. No LUA was used.
However, as with everything NQ, they turned a minor and somewhat amusing mistake (In a game labelled BETA that is still actually ALPHA) into a catastrophy of biblical proportions as only JC can manage.
Why?NQ amusingly banned paying customers for disassembling MP15 due to applying poor RDMS permissions, to much fanfare and handwaving. No LUA was used.
This would have been pretty much kosher were it not for the even more amusing fact that NQ had just days before EXPLICITLY stated that RDMS settings are 100% the responsibility of the owner and that they, NQ, would point blank refuse to assist players who had had their shit stolen by other players playing the game since it was basically their own stupid fault for not learning how to use the RDMS. Yet when NQ made a mistake, they treated as a personal attack and went into super-defensive mode with "surgical precision" in punishing the miscreants. Banning them from the game. Much like their response to the people that bought schematics mistakenly sold for a 99% discount... oh wait.
Just like most of the players here, you know nothing about sustainment. It is the most important part of any game, but you are completely oblivious to it.
1. I didn't say anything about planting luas on people or that the totem is somehow illegal or against policy. It's in the game and being used for dirty gameplay
2. I may be a redneck, but you are dumber than a bag of rocks.
You super-awesome-corporate-pvp-pirate-griefing gamers are only helping at destroying the SUSTAINMENT of this game.
The game in its current trajectory, with the devs default response to problems being - do nothing, players taking things too far, and 2 more mass exodus on the horizon, the sustainment of this game is just not there.
P.S. Just like newsmax?? You do realize that the current president of the USA is a fukn potato LMAO! you need to stop with the politics sweetheart. You can only win in an echo chamber of potatoes, where other potatoes will come to your rescue lol. Remember, you can be dumber than a bag of rocks, just don't go full potato.

This is dirty, it's just fukn dirty. It's hard to believe that people are ok with shit like this. This is like the kiosks that were scamming people. Why are there so many defenders for shity gameplay?? This game is turning out to be a cry-baby-baby-boss and griefer paradise. Who cares about sustainment, we just want to fuck with people!!!!
Good luck with that.
