The arkship pub forum is not the right place for this. @NQ-Nomad (i can't always ping nyz lol) would you mind?
 
Regardless: remember that the pre alpha is unser NDA atm, so don't expect accurate answers.

This topic was already discussed to death in various threads and I won't repeat my points here why I think it's a bad idea to implement such a thing when it's not really really carefully balanced.
 
 
Mind NQs answer in some thread:
 
I marked the relevant section - you're not going to build a bigger ship alone, you need a team to do so

And who says that people have some kind of Reputation? Are pirates inherently bad? (Thus having a Bad rep?) Don't they add gameplay because they give ppl something to do? 
 
Besides those points i made up there, why should people get smth for free? They have to work for resources, they have to mine, they have to wage war to get rare resources. That's emergent gameplay. Sending ppl free resources is just a Bad idea and is against the whole idea of Du. 
If people don't have any more resources in their territory (which is unlikely, but they may lack certain rare resources) - then they have to move on or get those res at the Market place. 
 
The market is driven by players. Will they try to get a Monopoly and ripp Off people with very expensive prices? Ofc, that happens in eve in a daily basis. Should players get some kind of noob protection from the game because they don't understand how markets work (supply/demand, that Kind of thing)? No, they should find a solution ingame. That's emergent gameplay

Just remember that there's a difference between what people say they're going to do, and what actually happens. It's easy to get a bunch of people together to plan a huge city and lay out all sorts of organizations and flow charts and ideas and different roles and all kinds of things... But it's another thing to actually build the city! Look around, join up with some like minded people. You don't have to be Elon Einstein to make a name for yourself, anyone can be a part of awesome things just as they are.

Yes it is A-mazing. There's a recent post showcasing "Movie-making" in-game with some entertaining and skillful sample chapters from another game. There's a  radio-station with well-designed advertisements, others will create LUA scripts whirring away in functional constructs built by other players, across "known space" spreading the human survivors technology lighting up the darker reaches, there will be some sub-verses within the game, in-game space racing with betting soft currency in game perhaps? And that's not even getting started on the online business moguls money-making businesses, or mentioning the Voxel architects who've shown off their work from Landmark, already.
 
It seems intimidating, but these are other peoples' ideas and dreams, that one would not perhaps dream for oneself. If you find your own dream then it is not intimidating but invigorating.
 
I aim to come up with a few ideas myself. Some will hatch, others will not, and if lucky one or two such eggs, will be made of gold.

Hey guys/gals,
 
So I've been here a while but I tend to stay away from forums, but I am really enjoying this game and I'm looking forward to playing with all of ya'll!! I actually had to upgrade some parts on my PC to be able to really enjoy the game xD but it's good now and I can't wait to really dig into the game!

So i just got done reading some of the threads on the forums, about people wanting to do things like be entrapeneurs (i hope i spelled that right), create their own country, or even construct ships in order to make money. After reading these threads I'm both amazed and intimidated by the community being built around this game. So many people know what they are talking about and how best to start with their goals and I'm here, not even sure how to do any of this! Wow, like i said i am both amazed and intimidated, but who knows this could be a good learning experience for how industry, politics, and economics work. Can't wait to jump in and see what's what!

It was a pleasure to have done with this you, and I liked the finishing touches you put on. Hope to do something like this with Oz in the future.

Greetings everyone. 
 
Today Astrophil posted the latest entry of Ark Central on Outpost Zebra. It's a news broadcast in a video format. I encourage everyone to check it out, a lot of time and soul goes into creating these. 
 
Ark Central News Network.

Pledging is no longer available for founders packs, they ended In September.
 
New supporter packs will go on sale by the end of the year (or thereabouts). They will not be the same as the founders packs.

I think this starts to get too complicated; we're talking here about countermeasures to countermeasures to countermeasures. There is going to have to be some form of automation at some point; I don't assume that every single gun barrel will need it's own player. However, with the lock-and-fire weapon system that NQ is going for, I think that a ship using double team is kind of counter to that; there are other ways to provide limitations.
 
With regular old school aim and fire, having there be multiple targets would make sense because the guns have to point at those targets and shoot. But with lock-and-fire, DUs system, a gun can be "aimed" at a target and technically still miss. I just personally feel that they don't mix.
 
And thanks for not only sharing an idea, but actually looking around the forums before posting one! 
 
On the topic of multiple ghost targets, it's all I can think of:

(also @ShinyMagnemite looks it's your dad )

Hello again citizens.
Thanks to real life it's been a while since Oz has been active. But like George Harrison said 'All things must pass, and so did the reason for the inactivity.
Today Oz started with a first in a series of articles focusing on the organisations behind Dual Universe. 
I invite you to visit Oz and read the latest entry.
 
If you want your organisation to be included in this series feel free to contact Aetherios, ATMLVE or myself.
 
Until next time. 

Tbh i have been waiting for a community driven radio station a long time now.
You got me by suprise,i would never expect someone to make it happen this early...
 
So in the midst of my excitment,i just wanted to share with you a quick fanart logo i made.
 

 
I'm by no means a photoshop genius although i think it came out decent enough. )
Wish you luck in all your future endeavours!
 

A few name changes I noticed:
The Cinderfall Syndicate -> Aeonian Federation
The Aether -> Heimera Trade Exchange
Both The Solar Empire and Soul Nebula have grown noticeably.

Image as usual:

(Soul Nebula be top 10)

I doesn't have to compliment the logic either, the interactive elements stand well on their own. The idea is that Lua "automates" tasks by doing actions with elements, performing the actions you already can but with more precision, accuracy, and reliability. 
 
This isn't real life. Yes, in real life, you generally want every single thing to be as efficient and easy as possible. But in a game, we don't always want things to be as efficient and easy as possible, because that isn't fun. NQ have implemented limitations for game balance, because it's supposed to be fun for everyone. 

Real life <> game. There's something called balance which is neended to make it fun for everyone who's a consumer of the game.

Play the game as it was meant to be played - with other people.

Oh, you don't want that? Well, you better become an acrobat then and fly around a bridge on your very own, trying to keep up with the world's most mentally taxing and stressful whack-a-mole. NQ won't provide you with automation to compensate for what a crew has to do.

No, I do not thing they are fundamentally different concepts, the scripting is there to assist and give you and edge......to automate or enhance some more mundane tasks.
 
It is limited as the potential abuse of an unrestrained ability to script is not a good thing. Certain limitations need to be applied in order to give an edge, but not provide someone with a Deathstar like edge....if they are a wizard scripter.

What's up guys! My name's Nicholas, but you can call me Nick or NRS if you please. I'm a person who's rather obsessed with games in the space genre, and Dual Universe is no exception. In other words, I can't wait for this to come out! There are many things I enjoy doing, and those things include making concept art, designing, and a bit of programming. I believe those three things can help a lot with this game's economy. I'm planning on designing as many affordable spaceships that use minimal material as I can. Well, that's about me. See you guys around!

Welcome to the community! What are you most looking forward to in Dual Universe? What made you back the game?
