The inventory is very cluttered right now, even if it is empty. Since the tools are permanent parts of our suits, and do not disappear when we die and cant be removed from the toolbar, they should just be removed from the inventory and exist only in the hotbar. We do not need them in the inventory since  we dont need to reequip them

From what I've heard is that pvp will be a hybrid system, where there are elements that behave like tab-targeting, however you can acquire your targets via cursor/crosshairs. It will not be an FPS in that there is projectile tracking or hitscan based on your redicle, but instead, it'll use where your aiming to determine what construct or character your are "tabbed" to for targeting purposes. You'll need to be pointing in roughly the right direction, and in a situation where there are a ton of targets in a tight area, precision might matter.
 
But then it usses accuracy stats of the character and weapon against the evasiveness stats of the target factoring in distance to determine hit/miss, metrics for damage, its right back to a typical MMO when it comes to actually firing there. The main difference is that you'll be "aiming" for whatever target you are trying to "tab" to attack, instead of selecting your target with the press of a button. Also, this is might only be the case for some weapons.
 
There will likely be weapon systems that won't require an aim-target, but instead purely use a tab-target. This would be a construct-mounted weapon, and it would be the difference between a turret-mounted weapon system and a hull-forward mounted weapon system. There will be a tradeoff where you can have a higher damage weapon that you must aim-target, or a lower damage weapon that will auto-track target so that you won't have to be facing of flying towards your intended target.
 
As far as automated defenses go, there will be basically very little in the way of auto-turret defenses and the like. NQ is trying REALLY HARD to make sure that this game doesn't boil down to who has the most turrets (Space Engineers) or the biggest ship (Starmade), and that means a 1-player 1-gun rule. As far as AFK defenses go, it'll probably be something more like a combination of stealth and shield systems rather than an anti-ship array. We might actually get some anti-personal guns that will shoot at invading characters, but nothing that can hit ships without being manned by a player.
 
The best defenses will be Territory Unit-based defenses, laws, and other players. Settling in a city with a dedicated militia will be immensely helpful, in addition to having a system for setting and collecting bounties. Anti-ship defense turrets could be built as long as they can be manned, so even a small-ish city can defend itself reasonably well if there are even 1 or 2 people around to defend it. Apart from that, avoiding detection will be the best way to go.

When you literally dream about DU.  No kidding, I actually had a dream the other day that I was inside of the game. It was kind of a weird combination between the game and the real world, because I was trying  to turn an old Jetske I found in someone’s garage into a working hovercraft   

@Ishamael:
The client is downloaded in a compressed format by the installer.
The file size should be around 2 GB. Then the installer will decompress the game in the specified game folder and the client, once fully installed, should be under 8 GB. The required 40 GB is a - comfortable - margin for the game cache and also crashdumps for bug reports.
 
Edit: "Go" replaced by "GB"

I had to get a new phone yesterday, and I felt it could use some DU'ing... So here's a few phone wallpapers that were put together at my request:

Collab fom the discord: Yama and CommanderLouiz

Historical documents reveal the truth.

I think a distinction needs to be made between tech advancement and skill training.  Skill training is character specific and will be time based.  It will unlock certain abilities and/or provide small % improvements in a character's performance of those abilities.  It will be a lot like the skill training system in Eve.  This has been NQ's plan since the early days and hasn't changed as far as I'm aware.  
 
Tech advancement is the discovery of new elements and materials which have the potential to shake up the status quo.  For example in the first couple of months, the discovery of an engine that can make it possible for ships to reach space.  This is something that everyone will eventually benefit from.  New tech will start out being available to a select few, but then more organisations will unconver the secret, some will sell it on for a profit, and eventually it will be become the norm, so that any new player might have access to it in their first week.  This kind of tech advancement, I believe is vaguely planned, but the exact mechanisms are not, as far as I know.
 
Tech advancement is a far more interesting aspect of the game than skill training (i.e. levelling up) if you ask me.

As Discord is a large part of the community, I felt that I need to shed some light on a new feature Discord introduced for game integration.
https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rich-presence
This would be, if implemented in a non-intrusive manner, a great addition to the social aspect of Dual Universe. Since over 90% of organizations are heavy discord users.

I'm here wondering what weapon systems for ships will be available in game? I have a few idea's and I'll discuss their uses but I do not know if these kinds of weapons will be in the final game these ideas are my own theories.
 
Plasma Weaponry - Now if your an Avid Sci-Fi reader like my self you'll know Plasma is a popular idea, Although in space i wouldn't say it is, Plasma is let's say essentially super heated Gas and Space is a Vacuum, no air and very very cold so over distance the Plasma is going to lose heat and disperse which will at best make it only a decent short range weapon, and in space you want long range weapons so Plasma weaponry on a ship i think would be best for just Point Defense, in fact it'd be great as an Infantry weapon as well.
 
Missiles - A classic piece of weaponry which could have many different types and uses, you could have your usual explosive ones to destroy targets or you could have ECM ones to confuse the enemy scanners and make them think you have more missiles than you launched, In fact you could have a load of very small missiles used for point defense purposes taking down large enemy missiles.
 
Lasers - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, this is what Laser stands for so it is essentially concentrated light to form a very hot beam (How many of us have gotten a Magnifying glass on a sunny day and murdered thousands of bugs?) And it has an effect on Earth but what would it be like in space with no Atmosphere to block most of the Radiation and refract the sun light? Why you'd get a 100% certified death beam and since Light travels very fast you have a great Point defense system and if the enemy don't have some strong ceramic armor then Lasers would be devastating in ship to ship combat.
 
Rail guns - A classic weapon, compared to the others listed so far its simple and easy and if enemy ships do have ceramic armor to prevent lasers then Missiles and Rail guns are the way to go, the great thing is once the rail gun round reaches top speed it's not going to stop until it hits some thing, so i guess Rail gun's are simple but what about their Rounds? Why you could stuff explosives in the middle of one so once it pierces enemy armor it explodes inside doing untold damage! (Essentially a Smart round.)
 
Mass Driver - A cousin of the Rail gun, this could be used to launch very large objects at an enemy ship.
 
Now i did this post on a whim and there may be more weapons that i did not mention (Torpedo's, but no idea how these would work in space?) if you can think of some just leave a post!

Hi guys the post its for spanish people so i go in spanish first.
 
¡Que tal gente?
 
Soy Neo_O, compre el pac de oro y estoy buscando gente española (por zona horaria mas que nada) o de habla hispana que resida en europa que haya comprado plata, oro o superior.
 
Tengo un pequeño canal de youtube que por varias razones, sobretodo por trabajo y problemas familiares/economicos, no he podido arrancar en condiciones.
 
Ahora estoy en una situación mas estable, comenzare a editar y subir contenido en breve como preparacion para este gran lanzamiento.
El juego de mis sueños y el que mas eh esperado en mi vida (gracias al deplorable multijugador y bajo rendimiento de SpaceEngineers. KEEN lo esta haciendo mal )
 
Lo dicho, busco gente española la cual haya backeado y quiera unirse para montar una faccion española/europea.
podeis contactar conmigo en mi canal de youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvcibjp3S7AiIFRRnTylCkQ ,por twitter: @Neopentas o por este foro de DU. asi podremos conocrenos y hablar sobre temas importantes como nombres, historia de la faccion y roleplays.
 
Los que esteis interesados pero no hayais backeado, tambien sois bienvenidos y se tendran en cuenta vuestros aportes antes y despues de la alpha, beta, release.
 
eh visto mas de un youtuber español hablando de que han backeado DU pero no veo ninguna faccion española (hay alguna hispanohablante pero la etiqueta es "americanos").
 
Animaros gente! el juego pinta genial y nos lo podremos pasar mejor hablando nuestro idioma materno.
 
Dual Universe podria ser el bombazo y la chispa que le falta al mundo de los videojuegos. Ya lo se... StarCitizen es de lo mejorcito y mas o menos el release sera a las mismas fechas que DU pinta graficamente expectacular y no me lo estoy perdiendo para nada tengo el pack de nave + campaña. el unico problema que le veo es la falta de construccion (la construccion me chifla) si alguno mas se apuntó a la inversion nos veremos tmb alli
 
Pues nada la traduccion de google para los racistas de habla internacional. (los recibes en españa en ingles, frances, aleman para que se sientan a gusto, luego vas alli y te insultan o pasan de tu cara los muy ingratos).
