Hi everyone!
 
A new Devblog has been released on Territory Protection Mechanics: you can find it here!
As we plan to post now all DevBlog articles directly on the website, we will have one dedicated topic per Devblog.
Feel free to give your feedback in the present topic for "Our thoughts on Territory Protection Mechanics".
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.
 

I'm afraid you're asking too much here
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

It's an evolving space:-
 
 
For example early beta iirc there won't be combat, but there will be building/terraforming (voxel) gameplay.
 
Obviously combat is integral to the game:-
 
Builders and PvP:-
 

 
I guess large orgs are going to be very necessary for the second part  of your preference, so in theory yes it should
be possible but it's dependent on conditions emerging. Likewise without these conditions in theory no, if considering the shadow of threat hovering over your head along with those big constructs.

Personally I think if you want to interact with the market you should log in and play the game. 
 
An api to look at prices would be something many people would enjoy. But I'm strongly against being able to use it to buy or sell items without logging in. 
 
Or automate actions, that smells too much like botting. 
As far as I understand it. 
 

Fringe Exoplanet Cartel [FEC]
 
    Motto - "Where few venture, we prosper" An organization focused on pushing all limits and boundaries...for gain. Challenge yourself, and the universe around you.
 
 
 
If it hasn't been charted, chart it.  
If it hasn't been done, do it.   Here, there is only one place for living life - on the edge. Do you explore the depth of the universe? Learn its secrets? Take what you find? Develop things pushing the boundries of what's possible? Do you want to gain and prosper from it all?
Then join FEC, and lets FEC the system
 
 

 
- Explorers(Scaling rewards per resource/discoveries found, partners & engineers will be directed to resources)
 
- Scientists
 (Scaling rewards per innovation/new invention, 15% of all future sales said innovation brings, remainder goes to securing platform and your intellectual property)
 
- Engineers
(Per construct contract, efficiently building ship and base bodies ready for equipment, elements, and combat)
 
- Mercenaries
 (By contract, or by hour jobs to provide security to FEC and partner bases, including "The Spot")
 
 
 
  We will have little requirements. You can join loosely as a casual FECer or a hard core FECer, its up to you. Though higher and more critical positions/ranks will logically require more activity, work, and/or contribution. You will be expected to protect organization property and interests when needed. We will also have plans to utilize some form of voicechat (likely Discord) unless such a system is implemented ingame.
 
 

 
  We will have casual RP (not mandatory). We will operate and work to maintain a organized but fun ANTI or REBEL- system/authority. We will attack/raid/defend and FEC things up of course, but that doesn't mean will tolerate a self destructive toxic environment, cheating/ooc hacking.
 
 
Expected numbers and size?-
 
Many may have questions about expected goal size of the org, and how large we plan to get. Right now, we're looking to fill 100 slots and no more, however this is dependent on if we implement activity policies, and if we plan to have ships with requiring a larger amount of crew members. It is far too early to say for certain how these systems will effect a desired atmosphere of final desired member count as the game is still in development. However, we can say for certain, we will aim for quality over quantity, a close-nit community, but one with enough to still get the job done.

Youtubers will be positive to give exposure to the game and they will be free advertising. More players->more attractive game ->more income for the devs -> further development of DU-> good for us all!

Well, Soundcloud is a good idea for hosting most music, as you can link just the widget's ID and have a music station play non-stop, or hey, make your own playlist, and literally control the music from your browser. good for in-game Radio Stations as well, for anyone who knows how to set up such things.

The reason I think they will eventually make sound a different element in-game altogether, is for possible use of Unigine's sound technology, that can make sound gradient - something not as simple as it may sound on paper - or so for modular speaker spreading.

You could mount four speakers aiming at the centere of a room from all its ceiling corners, getting a "surround" soiund, something you can't achieve with stereo sound from one source, or direction.

I mean, 7:1 beats Stereo. And who knows, maybe Tier-2 Sound Systems unlock the Woofer, with +10% on Bass.   

Hey,
 
- as you can see here, NQ already planned a bounty hunting system. (far below, it was a stretch goal). The exact mechanic isn't known yet.
- a contracting system will be most likely implemented, but IIRC there isn't an official statement about that. But if it won't get implemented via some game mechanic: you can do it yourself too - that's what DU is about: emergent gameplay. set up contracts yourself and get them done by other players. If they scam you or run with your cargo, hire mercs to get them.
But I agree, that such a basic system (ala here's my cargo, pay 5mil collateral now, you have 2 days to go from A to B, you get your collateral back and 400.000 extra) would be best if it was implemented from the start
- as for games inside DU: there's DICE. They want to do races, arena battles and other stuff.
Players have to build those houses, casinos and they even can script games inside of DU (possible blackjack too): see this video
 
I have no problem reading french but I just want to remind you that this forum is english based. It doesn't hurt anyone if you just let google translate your text and copy it in your post too, so others (who might not speak french) can read this too
 

JOb done
Thx for link this game make me happy 

The only real thing I can say is that NQ uses HTML5 and HTML5 can support audio files innately. If NQ is to add sound elements or w/e, that's not known.

Hi here,
Glad to be here with you guy, i'm little too much hyped like you.
Too soon to looking for a clan or a guild right now so i'm just a lonely guy for the moment.
 
I'have watched too much space dandy, so i want a groovy space ship in DU.
 
And of course i'm french.

Project Hyperlink
A Luminous initiative
 
 
 
What is Project Hyperlink?
 
Project Hyperlink is an initiative started by Luminous in an effort to create an open forum for org leaders to discuss issues and share projects,
without the hassle of joining a billion servers or creating infinite DM groups.
 
In essence, it's a discord for the users who suffer from fiftyplusdiscorditis,
we've created this in an effort to cure this ailment and bring efficient communication into the picture for organisations.
 
Interested? This next section will be relevant to you then.
 
What are the requirements for joining?
An org must at least have 10 members on the community site, or pass the quality standard. An org must agree to the guidelines written below.  
Project Hyperlink Guidelines
An org can have a maximum of 3 representatives including the org leader. An org can bring up any topic for discussion. An org can share projects in the dedicated channels. An org leader/representative cannot officially represent multiple subsidiaries and the whole. They can either represent the whole, or one of the subsidiaries. (They can still speak on their behalf unofficially)  
Project Hyperlink is moderated by Luminous staff. The guidelines above also apply to Luminous with the exception of the representative limit.
 
How are orgs added to this server?
Orgs can be added through Luminous, DM Dxeo#1776 or Soarnir#1776 on discord, or head on over to the Luminous discord found on our community page here.

Hi, me here, and i figured this was the place to introduce yourself? I just found DU through SE youtubers, and thought i'd check out the forums, nice to see it has a place for new people, i think that's great for getting new people into the game! Also, does anyone know when the NDA will be dropped so we can find out more?

Hi guys! 
 
Topic has been moved to a more appropriate section. 
Thanks, @Lethys!
 
The answer is: no, it doesn't work exactly like that. While the idea could be seducing, introducing such mechanics would imply many complicated things in terms of development. We try to allocate our production resources as best as possible and we have many other aspects of the game in the pipeline, as I'm sure you know. 
 
Here's how it works for now: if your avatar is on a ship that doesn't move and is near a planet, your avatar will be submitted to the planet's gravity. If your avatar is on the same ship but in movement, it will be submitted to the ship's gravity. If your avatar is on a ship and this ship is in a bigger ship itself and not moving, planet's gravity will attract everything. If the big ship is moving, your avatar will be attracted by the small ship and if you move far enough from the small ship, it will then be attracted by the big ship. A big ship will have a wider attraction range than a small one but for now, as long as you're entering a planet atmosphere, planet's gravity has the "priority" on everything else (when it doesn't move). It can appear a bit counterintuitive said like that but in lots of situations and use cases, it makes practical sense. 
 
Like I said, it would be a technical nightmare to handle everything like you describe client and server-side otherwise and for a gameplay benefit that remains hypothetical. We already have plans to add more to that system, though and will introduce that at a later stage.
 
Cheers, 
Nomad
 

It's a meme XD lol why are you taking this seriously

Just a quick update, DUFM - Dual Universe Radio, is now available on TuneIn so you don't have to use the terribad Android app anymore
 
It will be available for searching in the app within 24 hours, in the meantime, you can view it online here: https://tunein.com/radio/DUFM---Dual-Universe-Radio-s301129/ 

Option 42..... call your corp mates to bust u out..... tis divergent game  play after all
 

you always have to give players the chance to suicide - otherwise it's simple griefing.
 
So basically
- if you can destroy voxels/soil (even when NOT in your own territory tile), you can try to destroy your prison
- if you can destroy voxels/soil (even when NOT in your own territory tile), but your weapons are deactivated by some mechanic/element/whatever, then you can either kill yourself or (if you have valuable goods on person) pay the guy to let you free
- if you can't destroy voxels/soil on "enemy" territory, then you can either kill yourself or (if you have valuable goods on person) pay the guy to let you free
- If the player draws a "Get out of Jail" card, he may use it to get out of jail

Hey guys, I think a Novaquark staff member should decide when the game is over and who the winner is.
What do you think ?

Too many calories, the planets would get overweight and collapse into black holes.
