I don't think it has been announced but I am guessing some time around the game's release.

All I said was that no system is flawless. I said nothing promoting any system over another.

No system is ever flawless, only more or less flawed than other systems.

OOOO pretty ... Good work

This may be true for some groups, but certainly not all. I am the head diplomat for Band of Outlaws (the 2nd largest group currently) and we largely have PvP as one of our core attractions. We very much intend to expend a large amount of resources fighting other groups, either in full wars or fun skirmishes. We also shun the idea of too many alliances, wanting to avoid the "blue donut" as we call it. It was planned for after release, but now that that stretch goal was hit it will be available at release instead of a few months after release.

I really appreciate the complement It brought a smile to my face. However, don't deify me because of one post. I have made a *lot* of posts and there are a few I'm not proud of. Likewise don't villainize @vylqun based on a couple posts. He is not a bad person by any stretch of the imagination. I think the important thing is to build our community positively, and convince skeptics through tangible proof (as it comes) and with presentation of information rather than force of argument. I'm glad to hear that I have made a positive impact on your DU experience @Kirtis and I hope that when the game comes out it will comfort everyone's concerns and that you will join us in exploring the stars.

Good luck I wish you great success

Congratulations!

It is it is revolutionary. Perfectly fair. Luckily, this game is not dependent on continued crowdfunding in order to keep it afloat. Alpha should be here in a little over a month, so check back then to start seeing a taste of more complete (not completed, just more complete) gameplay. Launch is not predicted till the end of 2018 and hopefully by then there will be enough to convince you that the game is solid and that your concerns are not an issue. In the mean time, take care

I will look for one and post it here. I'm out at the moment so I'll do it when I get home

They have indicated that there will be both. You can do some basic crafting/refining in your inventory but in order to do anything larger than a few basic elements, you will need to construct refineries and more advanced production chains. To build anything larger than basic things you will probably need a fairly large production set up.

Alright, job was not the correct word to use, I'll give you that. How about this: it is in our best interest to help provide answers to people with questions so that they will join our community and help it grow. Telling them they are lazy or unintelligent for not having read or watched every piece of information put out over the last two years is not only unproductive, it spawns a group of people who feel wronged by the community and will do their best to tell everyone else about their negative experience. It may not have had a question mark, but there was essentially a question in it. Helping to answer that implied question not only addresses their concerns, but also encourages them to seek out more information. I'm not trying to tell how you can or can't respond, since I don't have that right. All I'm saying is that attacking someone for attacking someone/something is a bit hypocritical.

For an accusation of an aggressive post, that is an awfully aggressive response. He asked a valid question, and it is our job to provide an answer. @ZipSnipe, I understand your concerns. The truth is that there are two types of lag: Client side lag and Server side lag. Client side lag is usually an issue of the player's computer not being powerful enough to render everything that is happening on screen, or to calculate everything that needs to be calculated. The devs can address this by optimizing the graphics and code of the game as much as possible to reduce the strain of running it, but at the end of the day if this is the main source of lag the only option is to upgrade your PC. The other type of lag is server side lag, which involves either the server not being able to run everything it has to, or the communication between the server and the client not happening in an efficient manner. NQ's server technology is designed to tackle both of those issues. The server system dynamically partitions space onto different nodes of the server and prioritizes updates from closer nodes. This prevents any one node from getting overloaded and it also reduces the amount of updates that must be sent to the client. They detailed that in several of their dev diaries and dev blogs.

Welcome to the forums

Welcome to the community! We are glad to have you here with us

Do the Honeybadger Dance!!! *Disclaimer: NSFW lyrics. It's all meant in good fun

It was early this time

So we would only have to be there for nine minutes till alpha, and 18 minutes for release.

I think we are going a bit off topic here. Can we all agree that NQ has a right to remove anything that violates the ToS and leave it at that? Or at least move to the thread on this topic?

Agreed. There is a line that can be crossed when it comes to content, and when it is I am okay with the devs taking appropriate action. But this is not a game for children. It is not supposed to be nice and kind. If people want a tightly moderated place safe from things they don't like, they can join their own groups that cater to that, but they shouldn't be able to force that on everyone.

You have to hope that the mods will move it for you. Yeah, you are right. This opens up so many possibilities! Streaming will be a dangerous job but there will undoubtedly be people who do it

Ah okay. Haha I was confused

Who are ACE? Yes, that is true. But it's a trade off I think many people are willing to make. They only have to moderate things that people complain about, so if you and your friends are the only ones who see it, who cares? Also, they could implement a basic image filter that can check for nudity on uploaded images. Sure, some people will put inappropriate content in the game, but I think most people have a lot better things that they'd rather be doing in the game.

Eh it's possible, but it will have to be dealt with on a case by case basis.

I mean the possibilities are really endless. I wonder whether they will allow us to call remote services, so we can interface out of game code with in game code and assets
