The trouble with a game company trying to be really transparent, is that sometimes the unfinished pre-alpha looks like an unfinished pre-alpha.
 
This video is pretty much what I expected, except I wasn't expecting multi-player-construction to even be in their pre-alpha. It isn't pretty, but very effective.

Could we get an open-topped cockpit for planetary travel?
 
Yeah, I'm talking hover-bike style cockpit, not unlike a speeder or motorcycle. Here are the potential benefits:
 
-It would look totally sick!
 
-Less resources and lighter weight means easier to build and easier to propel ~faster
 
-The exposed nature would allow players to shoot you dead, despite being in a construct. Since Construct vs Construct combat won't be there at launch, this would allow lower-level play to include some sort-of vehicular combat.
 
-Can't go into space with it
 
-This would allow players to have a low-tier transportation system for traveling across a planet surface that is easy to steal/lose but easy to replace
 
-Organize SWEET hover-races
 
Plus who doesn't love speeders?

While your ideas are certainly noteworthy, blueprint construction has been announced as being handled by a certain construction element. So the whole blueprint is constructed at once, in an element that's something like a drydock. By default, you will not be able to add anything to blueprint constructions, nor save them as your own blueprint.

So far i didnt read or hear about how they want to handle construction of blueprints. My suggestion is that blueprints will be build by construction vehicles (ships and hovercrafts). My idea is that you would have to put construction module (there could be several types of it depending on size of the blueprint). Besides that construction ship would need a lot of cargo space for resources for construction and finally you will need construction drones. More you have faster you build. For example if you would want to build a large space station from blueprint you will need ship with lots of cargo space to put all resouces needed for construction and lots of contrsruction drones. What do you think?

I did consider this as a possibility.

Congrats and thanks to those who have the capacity, generosity and amount of time needed to serve members through those roles.

Many of us I think we'd give you gladly an economic periodic contribution (perhaps approved by the Senate) to make easier your game in Dual Universe.

Greetings and long life to CSYN.

Enjoy.
 

We are telling the story of the Outfit from the very beginning in our new comic book!  Introducing The Outfit - Beginnings - Episode 1

We also thought this would be a great opportunity to help advertise for the Kickstarter.  So please share freely as there are three different kickstarter ads in this episode and only ten days to go!!

Many of our members had a hand in creating this comic.  We hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Actually you gave me the idea. Giving a name to the first planet you encountered in first could be could. You couldn't choose a name but is would be your user name, without all the 'Xx', numbers and all, and not if it's some weird name like TheStrongWarrior, in that case you should choose between 'Strong' and 'Warrior' for your planet name. This would limit the names one could choose. Of course the buddies having a too weird user name would just have to choose amongst a list.

i would like a scrip that will allow a large ship in combat to turn all of its guns to fire on one target like a focus fire like on a battleship but all main guns tored  the front  that would be cool

Hello Folks. BohrElias is honored to now be a part of the Dual Universe community.
 
I come from Denmark, as well as my lovely brother Tobias, whom I think calls himself Tander Coxic or something stupid. Nevertheless!
I find this game increasinly interesting, and I hope it is indeed.
I am looking forward to share this experience with all of you.

Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga, CHUGGA-CHUGGA-CHUGGA-CHUGGA, CHOO CHOO!

Well you know me, after a long day conducting space business I love to unwind with the nice soothing sound of chickens
 
In all seriousness though, having some more passive elements to the game could help bridge the gap between the moments when there is nothing to do and the moments when there is nothing but excitement. 

I can envision it.
 
 
"Where's Lord_Void?"
 
 
"At the ranch, feeding the chicken."

I'd agree there would need to be some sort of valued use for a resource depleted planet besides just the open building space for structures and or bases, at least until off world trade routs can reach and supply such locations.  Some form of self-sustaining farming of either crops or livestock could fill that role, and if it did that also gives that planets production some sort of value to organizations to hold as their own planet or shared space, given that it then could be a place producing food? Bio fuel? crafting chemicals? medical supplies even?

Because I work with music myself I agree that it would be nice being able to create music in the game. But because of my background I also realise how difficult the subject is. Lets argue that NQ is able to implement their version of a music composing program it would be a mine field legally. The industry does not like people making copies of licensed music and it gets even more ugly because NQ would be technically making money from it.
 
I'm not a lawyer so there might be some loophole. But as far as I know it would be an uncomfortable situation. Thats not even touching on the subject of it being a smart investment of resources.
 
Uploading your own music is equally tricky. Someone would have to approve it. Althoug I dont think its impossible to have an algorithm that can identify songs.
Something like shazam. Again you would have to avoid uploading copyrighted content. Its not like streaming songs.
 
In the end its always a cost vs benefit situation. Would it be cool? Hell yeah.
No doubt about that.

I actually think all races (ship, hovercraft etc.) should be "anything goes" races with maximum 3 rules:
1) Everyone starts together at the start line.
2) Pass though the all the checkpoints in order and be the first past the finish line.
3) (Optional - Depends on host) No outside help or interference.
 
Putting arbitrary limits on vehicles is pointless since if someone makes one too big, it wont fit around the track, and if its too small, it won't have the power required to get up to speed and accidental ramming does happen.  After a few races some will mimic the size and shape of the winning craft.. a survival of the fittest.
 
My 2c.

**Update - - A organization has been created for the committee, tasked with the creation of rules for these races:  "Interstellar Hovercraft Racing Committee". Only Serious applicants will be accepted. ***

 

Introducing The Interstellar Hovercraft Races!! 

Hovercraft size to be limited

Only Hover technology will be allowed

No Weapons allowed

All craft will be inspected before races.

All Organizations can submit racers

Courses/Tracks to be similar to that of the pod races in star wars. 

If popular enough we wish different orgs to host the events!

 

The Solar Empire Wishes to provide some entertainment in the universe that doesn't involve violence. And of course Gambling is legal in The Solar Empire on these races!!

Join The Solar Empire Today, help build a safe, secure and fun society!

(this is a work in progress , and open to suggestions)

Nice work Astro it will be alot of fun.
 
Not to mention some of the goals I have in mind...
 
Emberstone, a big city on alioth for embassies, recruitment, markets, noobie pvp, gambling, and so much more.
A shuttle system from Emberstone to several key locations throughout the syndicate at large.
 
Building a ringworld, either a true Huygen style orbital around a planet or possible just some more modest ringworlds, well have to see whats both better looking and practical.
 
Operating and overseeing competetive and organized pvp in various fields. Ground based "battlegrounds", team fights, Team space fights and so forth.
 
Looking forward to meeting new faces, and helping organisations achieve their goals, even if thats to fight each other, but remain friends at the end of the day.

AEONIAN FEDERATION
 
 
The Aeonian Federation is an intergalactic umbrella organization comprising both sovereign Member Organizations and Individual Citizens who share a common vested interest in progress and prosperity. But what is it, really?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•••Too Long, Didn't Read•••
 
 
 
 
 
Enrollment: Accepting citizens and organizations - enjoy the privileges of Aeoniancitizenship.
 
 
 
 
 
Timezones: Global
 
 
 
 
 
Primary language: English
 
 
 
 
 
Focus: To promote progress and prosperity among our members.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•••The Pillars of the Federation•••
 
 
 
 
 
A Military Alliance
 
 
The universe is a treacherous place. We at the Federation hold the belief that military strength and solidarity are critical to our members’ interests in the face of those who seek to violate them. Our Non-Aggression Pact and military cooperation are only part of Aeonian’s firm dedication to security.
 
 
 
 
 
An Economic Syndicate
 
 
Operating an advanced and wide-reaching network of markets across the universe, the Aeonian Federation is a key player in the galactic economy. With additional banking and investment options available to members, the Federation unlocks the path to prosperity and financial security.
 
 
 
 
 
A Visionary Pioneer
 
 
As a progressive, forward-thinking organization, the Aeonian Federation is always striving to do what has never been done before. We challenge the traditional “guild alliance” paradigm and emphasize the importance of member and organization sovereignty. We push the technical limits of what Dual Universe represents, undertaking bold enterprises such as Project Emberstone. Rest assured: there’s no such thing as “boring” at the Federation.
 
 
 
 
 
A Community and Family
 
 
The Federation isn’t the typical dictatorship guild. Although we may appear large, we’re also a tight-knit family dedicated to player cohesion. With our revolutionary Nexus hubs (the ultimate social network) and frequent game nights, the Aeonian Federation offers the best of both worlds: the friendship of a small community and the security of a large, established organization.
 
 
 
 
 
•••The Administration•••
 
 
 
 
 
In order to keep AFED running smoothly and its members happy and safe, the Syndicate employs a variety of structural techniques and facilities to ensure the integrity and continued existence of the Federation. These make up the Administration of the Aeonian Federation. Take a look below:
 
 
 
 
 
Directorate
 
 
The legates of the Federation, there to maintain the integrity of the entire system.
 
 
 
 
 
Magistratum
 
 
The legislative and judicial division, there to resolve internal conflicts/disputes, create internal policy, and oversee diplomatic relations.
 
 
 
 
 
Grand Assembly
 
 
The collective assembly of the Aeonian Federation. Composed of representatives from each member organization as well as individual citizens, the Grand Assembly is a place of discussion between the members of the Federation, where actions and resolutions can be diplomatically discussed.
 
 
 
 
 
Administration
 
 
All of the various other departments necessary to make the Federation function. Many valuable teams and departments are part of the Administration, including our Development Department, design teams, Defense Department, and Communications Department.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•••The Verdict•••
 
 
 
 
 
Aeonian is a choice. Your choice.
 
 
Let your dreams take flight.
