I thought they were all valid concerns, especially coming from some other development studios. I sincerely hope you stick around and just watch NQ work, and how they handle the community.

I have to say, the supporter packs are of GREAT value. Would snatch another pack up if I could. *cough* NQ *cough* please? There’s a great development team behind this game. It’s really impossible to refute that haha. Everything they do is keeping their original supporters in mind, as well as the soul of their game. It’s really refreshing when you consider all the other teams out there

May have jumped the gun, apologies. That’s all content from dev diaries and such yeah? I don’t recognize some of it, so if there is player content on there... it would be breaching the NDA. It’s entirely possible I just forgot/missed a video or two or ten

Strange, appreciate the info. Would have thought it would be possible with some tweaking around with their system

The last part is unknown. If it’s a straight upgrade I imagine you’d lose many of the founders perks. It’s easy to upgrade from a founders package that automatically receives a supporter pack. Just pay the difference in received supporter, and desired supporter. However, ones who don’t? Hard to say. I personally think the best option is to be able to purchase a second pack.

So we will be able to make blueprints, which can be sold by other players. You may not have to build at all, however, it could become costly. Similarly, if you have a friend who is good at building... they might throw some blueprints your way Basically blueprints allow you to build something with just the resources. Someone might have to confirm that this information is still correct... I'm pretty sure we are going to be able to sell blueprints, but I'm not 100% that's still the plan.

I’d say it’s safe to assume there will be a tutorial. I imagine down the line building will be relatively complex, meaning NQ will want to implement a tutorial so people aren’t completely trashing Alioth unintentionally

This is a pretty harmless post, but make sure to post future threads on the pre-alpha in the following section: https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/forum/17-pre-alpha-feedback/ There's a NDA on the pre-alpha, and we don't want to accidentally release information that can be taken without context.

I think DAC prices will naturally fluctuate (to some degree) depending on where you are. If you’re the only one selling DACs at a remote station, why not add a 10-15% fee to the “standard” price? Is it worth traveling all the way back to a major hub for 10-15%? I’m not sure if we will be able to tax market terminals, but that would also impact the overall price.

I think it's a good idea, but should be price = new pack - old pack. It's a lot simpler than a 50% reduction. Or something like price = new pack - (old pack +x)... if NQ wishes to add a discount for old backers. Reason being is simply that a bronze founder would end up paying less than a silver founder for something like the patron package. With a flat 50% reduction, a linear model is much more fair.

At the moment it’s not possible to buy a secondary pack. You could maybe ask NQ to upgrade your pack to a supporter pack

Ah haha, thanks. Missed it on the page crossover, thought mine was the first . Think he posted while I was developing my reply. I do believe the topics go hand in hand. The difficulty of attaining DACs plays directly to the nature of hoarding and transferring for markets. But I suppose I can understand segmenting the topic.

For simply storing DACs in a MSA or the Arkship? I’d say storage of DACs would be more than safe. If you try to move the DACs from one MSA to another, I’d say they should be lootable. (If they have been traded, if they were purchased by the account holder they should be in the aforementioned vault) And not a problem, it’s an important mechanic to toss over. Been awhile since we’ve talked about it, and new members probably have insightful methods Once initially traded, I think DACs should be treated as any other commodity. You can protect resources in a MSA, so you should be able to drop off your DACs in a MSA

I believe it was tossed (not by NQ, by players I think) around that when you buy it, it’s stored in a “vault” type system. Safe and sound. Once you trade it, it’s taken out of the vault... and the player purchasing the DAC would (probably) have x time to redeem it before it becomes lootable. I think this is a fair solution because, no matter what we desire DACs WILL be a commodity. Protecting the initial purchase is important, but if DACs are completely unlootable it allows someone to buy DACs at market A and travel to market B and sell them for 1.2x the price. DACs need to be lootable... just like any other trade good. Imho

I would not recommend doing this at this time. I’m sure NQ will come up with a better system at some point Alternatively I’m sure you can ask NQ to give you the pack you want for a simple difference in prices.

Perhaps they will implement a method of doing so at a later date. It’s only been out for a day or so . I’m sure they’ll figure something out, there’s probably just an issue with having multiple packs

Haha yeah, sorry. Thought the link was pretty straight forward. And yeah, I hope NQ allows some more flexibility on packages at some point.

I’m saying they had an old naming system for the FAQ, and it was a small slip. I would say the majority of the FAQ is correct, they slipped with a small nomenclature. They literally list everything you get at the bottom of the FAQ as well

The fact remains that NQ stated the following is correct over and over and over: Gold Founder Backers gain: Sanctuary Territory Unit (x1) Legacy Earth Outfit (Silver) Arkship Passenger Outfit (Bronze & Silver) Supporter Pet lvl.1 & lvl.2 (different from Founder Pets) Legacy Resurrection Node (x1) Furniture Props set (10 props set) Character Animation Pack (5 animations) Fireworks (x100) Extra Character Customization (x6) Supporter Character Name Reservation (lower priority than Founder ones) Content Creator Pack Arkship Cryogenic Tube (decorative Element) Gain as in addition to the original gold pack.

It’s really hard to predict, especially when we have all of these founders DACs saturating the market in the early days. Really just depends on whether or not people will be trading DACs early on for a leg up on the “rush” that will inevitably happen early on.

“Under certain conditions” which is sapphire and above. This link clearly notes everything. https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/07/supporter-rewards-for-founder-backers/

That's a valid question. Would love to see an "extras" option in the store some day. DACs, and of course outfits and whatnot that Gold and lower can't get at the moment. Or as you mention, just an option to purchase another pack. Definitely not a priority, but it would be a "nice to have"

You get the majority of the sponsor pack as well as your original gold. https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/07/supporter-rewards-for-founder-backers/

*I was wrong So old supporters get literally everything from the new packs (practically)? That seems a bit much imho. There should be unique items in these packs.

This is precisely why there are NO resources on MSA territory. Yes an org can store their stuff safely in MSAs, just as a solo/small group can. However, the question is... how quickly can you get those assets to a hotspot? If an org leaves all of their military power inside of a safezone, it will be hard for them to respond to threats on their resources outside of the MSA. @OP To answer one of your questions, you can claim a MSA with a territory control unit which is craftable in game. AFAIK
