1. There will be some simple "market bots" to help pump money into the economy and control the money supply. 2. That depends on how currency sinks and faucets are implemented, but I would guess that there will be inflation over time. 3. Maybe. I wish we had more details on this, but I think they are still weighing their options. 4. I would assume so.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand the majority of what you are proposing. It seems over complicated and unnecessary. Like Lethys said, there are already simple and effective methods to handle market transactions in place. Why fix it if it's not broken?

Welcome to the forums and the community! There is a lot to read, but there are a few good Q&A threads that are essentially a summary

Welcome to the forums! You are going to need the support of a decently sized group for something like that, but it is possible!

Welcome to the community!

Physical rewards will not be shipped until around the time of the game being released, at the end of 2018.

Actually, the probes don't build the gate. They just let you jump to them a limited number of times so that you can build the gate.

yeah I know about the stargates and systems and such, and 2 weeks actually seems short for a blind first jump. It's the time between planets that has me surprised

Wow. I hope that is just with "early ship tech"

I don't mind the size; I feel that it is important to not have people getting bored with mining, especially considering the massive amount of mining that will need to be done for things. I do wish that there as a bit more control over it. I feel like with that tool they just sort of carved out a random blob of space. I would want to be able to create a fairly coherent shape when mining.

Thanks for sharing this info! That's awesome that you got to play I can't wait for the rest of us to jump in there too!

Welcome to the community Glad to have you helping test the game.

Maybe (I'm not that cool ... it was an "Other Guys" reference)

Be who you want to be! You're a peacock, we've got to let you fly!!

I think we will see an uptick in pledges from gamescom. I think we will make it to the goal too

I'm out of likes, but I agree with you Wilks. It's fine to take time off, but shaming other people for not doing that is not okay.

Nice back pedal. I think it's quite clear to everyone what you meant with what you were saying

Oh get off your high horse. We all understand how important this moment is, and we are all excited. Just because not everyone is taking off of work doesn't mean we are "not true fans". No one, not you or anyone else has a right to try and tell people that they aren't good enough fans, or aren't "real" parts of the community. We are all working hard to build a better community. I am going to be participating as much as possible and no one will be able to accuse me of not being there, but unless NQ wants to pay my bills for me then I'm not taking work off for alphas and betas. Over the next year there are probably going to be 3 or more alphas and 1 to 3 betas, plus launch. Taking two weeks off for each means 7x2 = 14 weeks off. I wish I had that much vacation time, but I don't. Dual Universe is a marathon, not a sprint and I'm here for the long haul.

Then again, playing devil's advocate here, if we assume that footage will leak and people will rant about it, wouldn't it be better to let all the other people having wonderful, positive experiences speak too be a good thing? The best way to drown out 'bad speech' is with more good speech

I'm not sure. I haven't found any, but maybe!

Ouch ... yama has questioned my fanliness... How will I go on? Lol Just because people don't set aside as much time for something as you think they should doesn't make them any less of a fan

If I wanted to, then I would

There will be enough currency fluctuations going on with one currency, let alone an infinite number of them.

I'm planning on taking time off when the game actually launches, but not for the alpha. I'll certainly be playing as much as possible but I personally won't be clearing my whole schedule for something that isn't always on.

Yes, you can claim safe zone tiles but there is a tax on them that goes up the more tiles in the safe zone are claimed. There will also be well over 1000 tiles in the safezone. The main advantage of building in the safe zone is that your stuff is safe and it's a central location in the game world. It will likely be mostly parking lots, markets and warehouses
