    Hotwingz got a reaction from Lethys in My biggest worry about this game   
    Funny thing is, both sides need each other. DU as a game can't work without people creating things and people destroying things. 
     
    I'm pretty carebear by most standards but if I wanted a game to just build silly stuff I'd play minecraft. 
     
    My advice, relax it's just a game. Let's see how the game actually plays before burning down the roof.

    I don't really get the point of this. 
     
    In Eve it works for YEARS now. People are perfectly safe in null space and whs. 
     
    People need to change their views a bit imho. You can't just do everything alone or solo everywhere. And small orgs won't be able to do the same things as large orgs. But If you're part of a larger force, I really don't see a problem in building stuff somewhere very well protected. Watch alliance chat, watch alliance news, pay attention, be Safe. 
     
    People will form huge pacts to protect each other (as they do in eve). They will be bored at some point (as in eve) and look for fights. 
     
    There may be some individuals who want to grief. Do smth about it then. Code is only so successful because noone cares about highsec. So noone stops them. That's emergent gameplay though

    Hotwingz got a reaction from Ben Fargo in The Worth of DACs   
    The only real answer is, nobody knows. 
     
    You can calculate all you want but the simple truth is that the cost of DAC will be directly related to the amount of money in circulation. 
     
    The price of commodities will be set by supply and demand and the ability of a player to purchase at a given price. 
     
    At launch a DAC may cost 100 quanta because a 100 quanta may be a fortune. As the game matures a 100 quanta will become peanuts because of accumulated wealth. As such the price of DAC will increase. 
     
    There are a few variables but in general the trend will be that the price of DAC will increase over time. 
     
    Nobody can put a figure on it before we have a working economy.

    This short story (around 5000 words) is set on Earth before the technology required for the Arkships (and more) were entirely completed. This story does not include any DU organisations nor does it reference any arbitrarily named gaming organisations outside of DU.
     
    Enjoy.
     
    ---------First paragraph snippet---------
    I am a broken man. At least that is what the shrinks say. They say I’m too broken to continue in the Centauri Special Forces. But if one of the powerful nation states pays for your training, they own you. So that’s how I became stuck as a Tester, a guinea pig, for Centauri scientists. On the bright side, they gave me a place to stay, even if it is a single room apartment that you couldn’t swing a proverbial cat in. Centauri also provides a seemingly unlimited cereal molded into multicolored letters of the alphabet. Today, the cereal spells out “freedom” which quickly sinks away and then spells “dominated”. I stare at the word knowing if I blink it will instantly rearrange itself into the usual random jumble of letters. For taunting me, I teach it a lesson by biting into another mouthful. It might look colourful, but it tastes like week old sweaty socks.

    Massively OP is running a poll on what MMO game people think was the best from 2017 and Dual Universe happens to be on that list. Show your support for DU and cast your vote!

    Seven hours and we got the lead, now we just got to hold it so keep spreading the word! Heck, steal your parents/siblings/spouses phone and cast a second vote! Jk don't really vote twice, thanks for the support tho! <3
     
    Ahhh, over 150 votes while I was sleeping, good job everybody. We have a solid 31% of the vote, can we go for a full third of the vote! Keep up the support!
     
    Well over six-hundred now, that's awesome!
     
    An additional 20 votes came in overnight, merry Christmas NovaQuark? 2,127 votes have been cast thus far and voting ends on the 5th so keep it up!

    I will most likely link to your download page and try to make the description clear. 
     
    Something like, ship designer software. Unless your tool has a specific name then I'll use that.
