  1. I think if they continue with this type of approach to the game mechanics it will be overall good for the game. It'll create more specialized gameplay.
  2. imo whoever figures out what will be the "Jita" or "Dalaran" of Dual Universe before everyone else is gonna make a lot of spacebucks :T Typically it ends up being the place with the most utility in the game as far as npcs or transportation goes, but we arn't going to have npcs and transportation is going to be player made so your guess is as good as mine
  3. It's pancake time o________o bring on the pancakes
  4. Hello I would like 1 win plz ty o______o
  5. I appreciate the criticism thanks But I assure you, if you're getting shot at before you fire teh missilez, you've done an exceptionally good job of not piloting a stealth ship correctly. Sorry if I didn't convey it correctly, but the ship will have a cloaking device XD I wasn't sure how to draw it into the blueprint though since NQ hasn't released the specifics of how they function yet. The ship was designed on the principle that you can't really re-cloak once you've outed your position, so you fire the missiles and just leave instead The missile launchers wouldn't be nearly as expensive to replace as a cloaking device, I would assume.
  6. HULLO yes this is VELN o________o hoi Moonscythe Inc is rolling out a new series of ships known as the Wonderland Series ♦ - The Cheshire ♥ - The White Rabbit ♣ - The Jabberwock ♠ - The Bandersnatch OK HERES THE FIRST ONE The Cheshire is one sneaky sneaky kitty with a special trick up it's sleeve :T shoosh don't tell anyone kk? Equipped with a cloaking device, the Cheshire lugs around two giant canisters full of missiles slowly up to an immobile foe, waiting for it's chance to strike.Then when the time is right, WAM BLAM KABAM @_____@ the Cheshire fires all teh missilez Good job Cheshire you did lotsa damage and everyone is so proud of you. But now you are screwd cuz ur slow D: SOOPRIZE the empty rocket canisters decouple from the ship, and the rockets strapped to them send them flying into the enemies. Now that you don't have to lug around those annoying giant cans, you can do some flips and kool kid tricks and get the heck out of there Mission success gj
  7. Imo this is especially a good idea if spawn points aren't going to be super common.
  8. I wouldn't worry about about the launch, if there's lag it will more likely be on the client side for trying to render so many players at once; and at that point players can solve the problem by simply going somewhere else in the game.
  9. I think in areas where a Territory Control Unit can be placed, buildings should just stay where they are, and if you don't keep the TCU running other players should be able to clear it out. Other areas (like the Arkship) I dunno.
  10. Wouldn't the best way to have a secret organization be to not have any mechanics in the game for it? Just have your secret members join different organizations and not tell them about it, and then have everyone do very subtle things to help the secret organization.
  11. HALLO yuss this is VELN I have created a new blueprint for a thing that could do stuff in the future times :T BEHOLD The WhirlyDoop tm is the numbur won solution to pesky annoying ground troops that are grouped up. If you see a bunch of peoples with guns standing around you might be like: "HEY YOU PUNKS, GET OFF MAH LAWN" and normally you would just shake your fist and go GRRRRR But not today!!! NOW all you gotta say is "RELEASE THE WHIRLYDOOP tm" and watch the majik merry-go-round of death shotgun those punks in the face until you have plenty of red juicy fertilizer for your beautiful sexy lawn. Some of you might be saying "But that thingy has 4 rockets propelling it :T what if I breaks a rocket?" Well thanks to the MAJIK of scripting, the WhirlyDoop tm will adjust propulsion to keep it on a continuous spinning warpath. Call now and you can order your own WhirlyDoop tm for only 5 easy payments of $29.99!!! BUT WAIT THERES MORE @______@ We'll throw in a free pair of INDUSTRIAL STREGNTH googly eyes to make your WhirlyDoop tm 50% less threatening!!! They'll never even see it coming :T ORDER A WHIRLYDOOP tm TODAY!!!
  12. But what if there's a detachable component, and you strap a bunch of detachable one-time-use rockets to get the battleship into space

    Gold+ Pledge

    What are they going to do about in-game names anyway? Two best approaches imo: 1. Have 'Firstname Lastname' character names like in Eve 2. Allow multiples of the same name but include a unique identifier after to differentiate (identifier isn't displayed most of the time, usually only in friends panel or character listings) The system for the second option has been used most notably by Blizzard (battle.net) and Arenanet (GW2)

    Gold+ Pledge

    I didn't give any money yet cause I'm not really in a financial situation where I can, but when I went to make an account someone had taken my usual name on the community site : / Does that mean that they reserved it? Or does that mean someone else made a free account with my name. If it is the case that someone else made a free account with my name, if I pledge now will I be able to reserve that name?

    DU Religions

    Wouldn't in-game religion just be a roleplaying/lore thing? I don't think there should be any game mechanics made specifically for it, but if people want to RP and write stories on the topic that's fine
  16. I think as of right now we don't need any limits on submitting logos. But the problem is, what happens when the game hits 2 Million+ people and everyone and their mother wants to make multiple logos? In my opinion there are three viable ways to handle the issue of too many logos (if and when the problem arises) A. Don't let people create multiple different organizations on their own, and limit each organization to one logo. B. Have some type of cost for submitting logos to the server (like what Archeage does). C. Get more servers to store the logos and have no restrictions. Keep in mind that with option C, it also makes it easier for people to abuse the system, spam uploading inappropriate images. Even if the images get reported, NQ staff still have to review those cases and ban appropriately. I mean if NQ wants to do option C I'm fine with that but if it were my company I'd pick option B
  17. Archeage has custom in-game images. How it works: From my understanding, on the first offense of uploading something inappropriate, you get a warning and lose your image along with everything used to make it. Second offense, you get perma-banned. Personally I think that's sufficient as far as blocking things goes, and they've been doing this for a few years now so legally I don't think they've had much trouble with it.
  18. Hey man I totally agree with you, I mean who would pay $156 a year for a game? Nobody!!! I mean, it's not like there are over 15 million people playing subscription model MMOs right now who pay more than that XD
  19. Basically here are a bunch of questions I tried to come up with about vehicle and structure mechanics. If any of these have been answered by NQ already, please let me know , otherwise just give what you speculate the answer will be. In advance, I hope I don't come off as a jerk questioning game mechanics in-depth before the alpha is even out, I'm just curious _________________________________________________________ 1. Will "Vehicles" and "Buildings" be considered separate types of structures in terms of the game's design? EX: Could I make a house and then later strap a bunch of thrusters to it? 2. Referring to question 1, if they are separate types of structures, is there a size limit for vehicles? 3. Will large player built structures have their own orbit if they are massive enough? (This question applies to vehicles too if there's no size limit.) 4. Will logging out as the sole operator of a vehicle cause it to disappear? (like logging out in Eve)
