I actually think all races (ship, hovercraft etc.) should be "anything goes" races with maximum 3 rules: 1) Everyone starts together at the start line. 2) Pass though the all the checkpoints in order and be the first past the finish line. 3) (Optional - Depends on host) No outside help or interference. Putting arbitrary limits on vehicles is pointless since if someone makes one too big, it wont fit around the track, and if its too small, it won't have the power required to get up to speed and accidental ramming does happen. After a few races some will mimic the size and shape of the winning craft.. a survival of the fittest. My 2c.

There is a salty tang in the air. Just FYI, that wasn't a recruitment message, but a welcome message. BohrElias had already joined CSYN yesterday, And he is free to leave if he so chooses. That is the freedom of CSYN. Again, Welcome BohrElias

Will there be elements that provide lateral movement (up and down movement) inside a construct? I know many people on the forums and discord channels are dreaming up their massive ships and buildings. But how will we move around inside these ships and buildings, specifically up and down? Are we relegated to ramps and jet-packs or can we do better? Some examples include: Ladder elements Elevator elements Teleporter elements Can you think of more?

Welcome, BohrElias. Thank you for choosing CSYN, for the greater good. It had nothing to do with Coxic being in CSYN already. Nope. Nothing at all.

I can't even begin to describe how much the OP irks me. It is not only misleading in some cases but downright wrong. Hopefully due to a misunderstanding. NB: No Construct vs Construct combat does not mean no PvP. There will be PvP in the form of Avatar vs Avatar combat. E.g. Boarding crews etc. NQ has been blatantly transparent as to what features will be included and when. One reason for this is to set expectations. If Construct vs Construct combat cannot be added due to (seemingly) budget constraints, I am happy to wait as it will be one of the first things added after release. Don't want to wait? Get even more backers. Does not having Construct vs Construct combat right out the gates suck? Hell yes. We all want it. But even mentioning NMS is not helping anyone.

This is one of the big dangers of a game that has not been made yet. People will imagine things to function in a way that was never intended to be in the game in the first place. JC is being very transparent on his vision for the game and communicating clearly when what will be in the game and how certain aspects will work. Yes, the community can influence these decisions to an extent but not to as great a degree as some might believe. DU is not a Pirate sim to cater only for pirates. Does this decision suck for pirates? Hell yeah. But with many other lucrative pirate targets, it would be a shame to lose players to something like this, even if they are pirates .

Two examples of when DACs should not be able to be stolen: 1) A casual gamer with a bit of time but no spare money has gathered enough resources to purchase next months subscription in the form of a DAC. Then it is stolen, potentially losing DU a player forever. 2) Kickstarter DACs. They are a major component in nearly all the backing options. Losing the lot on the first day is sure to also lose players. Call it their own stupidity, losing players due to a game "feature" is not desirable. Why should DACs be able to be stolen? 1) Curbing the super rich player from dumping thousands of DACs to effectively purchase entire orgs. 2) Encouraging piracy and in turn security forces. This is emergent gameplay. Converting DACs to physical items at your spawn point would put the risk on the seller and the buyer could immediately digitize it again. It could work. But wait. The DAC dealer can dump a thousand DACs anyway. Being able to steal DACs won't actually change this. And are there not other resources, elements, blueprints, entire ships that can be pirated? My 2c

I really think it should be opt in. I don't think the immersion that would be gained by half-hearing potentially thousands of irrelevant conversations around you outweighs the additional strain on servers and connectivity. A simple GUI could be used to start a conversation by tuning into a channel and others would have to do the same. Channels could be dynamically created and invites to join various channels could be sent. Mute/ignore functionality would also be required. I have less of an issue with push to talk but having that as a default sounds like a good idea. I would envision such channels to only function within line of sight unless they are extended through the use of an element or item.
-
I would like to see this happen because it is immersive as all hell, though realistically I see it working on more of a opt in channel basis rather than a passive "hear everyone around you" type of thing. This could be extended to have elements that create a secure communication channel for those interacting with it. This would be great not only for simple 1-on-1 chats and political discussions but also in-game concerts. While very nice to have, because there are workarounds like Discord, I don't see this happening till after release if at all.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Now keep it up for.. Oh 2 years @Kane Hart: I have taken a look at your channel and like what I see so far. @Neosphaler: I hop so too. @Dunbal: General Calamari... Hungry again. Why do you torture me?

Keeps denying the existence of moons? Could be the same guy.

Wow. Just wow. Hats off Aetherios. Page after page of poems and I do love the rhyming schemes. You have clearly put a ton of work into the Aether organization. Not just layout, and backstory, but also recruiting. Watch the Aether, folks. It's going to go far.

Who wouldn't find any Flying Spaghetti Monster construct appealing? Though a pilot would need a massive pair of meatballs to fly the thing.

Greetings and Welcome.

Thanks for all your Welcomes, May you never encounter the giant space squids. I am just a messenger, spreading the word of the giant space squids known as (among others) Unstable Crash and Physics-Gone-Wrong. Only the Devs have the power to vanquish such powerful creatures. Truthfully, they are theoretical and I hope that we never encounter them.

One does not simply fry giant space squid...even with energy weapons. Thanks for the welcome.

The eight rights of passage are like the 8 arms of the giant space squid: squishy and scary looking at first, but they can really grab and hold on if you get too close. (Those other 2 appendages are the squids tentacles, I know they are easy to get wrong while running away screaming, at least in my experience.)

I could say something about motivating builders but I think I will leave someone else to grab that low hanging fruit.

Did this cult summon the giant space squids? It seems there is some skepticism about their existence. And me shouting "THEY ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" does not seem to be helping. Could you check your cult registry for any alien cephalopod worshippers? I'll just wait here.
