Alright, let’s talk about the positives first.
-fixed linked container range after VR. That is quite sweet, I like it, but you are no linked to the second last container you linked to. They hotfixed the infinite range on that after 30 minutes, but the new situation is as annoying as the old one.
-Notifications now correctly show size of the item sold or bought. Again, really nice, but the item name is now missing. Instead of "sell order of 2 uncommon space engine" it now says "sell order of 2 XL" (at market market)
-"A possible crash when using fireworks in the northwest corner of a space station close to feli while still on the first step of the long tutorial has been fixed". About bloody time.
 
 
Now to the bad stuff.
-While the extension to the extension of the parking space at market 6 may solve the parking issue. I think maybe we need a more long term solution.
-The introduction of LUA controllable speakers really did not help the market 6 situation. Especially since the client still loads all sound files, even if you turn the sound off.
-the idea of warpgates to create chokepoints but also shortcuts for long distance travel is awesome. Sadly in the first hours players were able to build space station directly in/at the gates within the safebubble. Why is there a safebubble anyway?
-There was yet another ninja patch and now nickel is the strongest for pvp. After every patch we have to check the stats for honeycomb.


For anybody who missed it, here the transcript for the MC interview, the video is currently down.

user: So most of the industry talents don’t work, the other trees also have talents that do nothing or the opposite. When will those get fixed, what is so hard about fixing them?
MC: Great question. As DU is a consistent single shard universe with a player driven economy, we think that only a low amount of users actually do industry with massive factories while most other users dive deep into all the other content the game has to offer.
user: So about that other content, some players are complaining that besides mining and selling to bots or ship building and spamming advertisement there is not really that much to do.
MC: Yes, i fully understand your question. So we constipated Dual universe as a consistent single shard universe with a player driven economy and deep industry mechanics. The world is yours to take and make your own.
user: Also, given that the new player experience gets worse and worse, with the broken tutorials and and only free tiles 40 kilometers from the next market, it seems the influx of new players has stopped. Do you see this as an issue that needs fixing?
MC: The interesting thing for new players to discover in DU is that we actually made this game as a consistent single shard universe with a player driven economy. As such, the new players are a business opportunity for the existing players.
user: The other players and I, especially I, especially right now, often don’t feel understood. Do you think the new ticket based feedback system, with positive feedback pushed to the front via "triage system in times of increased activity" can give you the information you need about what the community is thinking?
MC: Oh yes, you are right, I totally agree. We listen to the players, this is important as our game, like our economy, is player driven in our consistent single shard universe. The world is yours to take and make your own in Dual Universe, a consistent single shard universe with a player driven economy.

Weird. I can't press the reaction button any more today. Never seen that.
 
So I'll just say I agree with @FuriousPuppy 's thought above. Kill it or fix it and let us know which is the plan.

Yes I thinking about this too -- like mr. Granatino will soon find out, that mr. Baillie... told him not all truth about actual state of affairs. 
 
Seen it IRL, once in place I worked. Like new leadership instantly gone from mild patronizing optimism (right after aqusition), to rabid WTF mode (when figured out they were tricked), kicking everyones butts and closing place in 2 months.

This is a bit unusual, when a CEO changes, there is often at least a press report of some description, and often a letter of intent from the new head honcho and or a letter of departure from the previous one.

They have helped me several time as the super legate of Chem Dogs. I have had leadership leave and being unable to demote is a big issue. I hope your ticket gets checked out. They used to get tickets done pretty quickly, I haven't been that active recently though. I used to post every couple hours on the support section in the discord and they always said they can't escalate but it would get solved much more quickly if I kept badgering them. 

More like replacing the guy who has never flown a plane with a guy who can crash-land it with broken off landing gear, scraped off belly and mangled propellers somwhere reasonably close to the recycling center.
 
 

Is this like ducktales where they let the guy who regularly crashes the planes fly so that he can crash the broken plane since he has the most experience crashing planes?

Well about 18months too late, 
most likely appointed by principal creditors prior to liquidation proceedings

Wait till he finds out there is literally nothing of value to sell here...no one wants a top heavy network scheme, that monthly subs cant even support if each individual user is able to exceed their sub fee in data usage, it's just a pile of garbage no one will want except for maybe some inept govt institution that doesnt know any better

This forum will not survive with anyone half competent at the helm. Worst marketing asset in history. 

I think it has come to that point now. Who wants my stuff?
 

A brief public reserche revealed that they went to the same college. They therefore seem to be friends.

This is what we know so far.
According to this site, 2 days ago JC got replaced as President of NovaQuark by a Mr Nicolas Granatino. And this Nicolas person is one of the owners of a VC company that is the lead investor in NQ.
 

And another thought on this - well, a question: will there be enough NPC missions to keep money flowing into the economy? If it's just shuffling player money around, pay will drop until no one will take the jobs and the whole thing will collapse.

The  flow of T5 ore to the safe zones is the logistics underpinning the economics. Getting to it and getting it out of the ground/asteroid and getting it back there should be the risk and require expense, making it valuable. 
 
players will camp over the T5  hotspots, presumably, making the larger orgs the only ones with access. 
 
orgs will merge and fight and eventually end up as clans and then even members of proto nations. 
 
who knows. That’s all a loooooong way in the future at the current rate of development. 

Have you noticed that the game is in development? - optimistically called beta, but we all know it's really still alpha (i.e. not yet feature complete).
 
Missions in unsafe space are coming.
Asteroids (other than the belt around Thades) are coming - probably including if not exclusively in unsafe space.
Combat on planets is coming.
 
I'm not 100% sure NQ won't abandon the game, but assuming they keep developing it, everything you want is on their list.

Keeps loading at 100% in load screen.  Can't enter tutorial

Someone recommended buying a large container.   It is too large to go to my inventory!  How do i get it?  I spent all my credits on this item.  
 
I wish the online chat was helpful for these questions, but noone answers.   Please help
 
THank you

I would like to be able to just export the list of elements and voxels in my blueprints to an excel file, JSON or CSV file. Currently, I have to read the blueprint window and manually input the shopping list to an external file. Not the model or anything fancy, just the actual shopping list.

Instead, if I could just click  ' Export blueprint' button at the bottom of the inspect blueprint window and it exported the CSV file of each elements name, its hitpoints, its mass in kg,  thrust in Newotons, etc...  that would be fantastic.
 
even simpler, if I could just right click on a blueprint in my inventory and "copy blueprint netlist to clipboard" 
also please let us rename blueprints or at least show "date created" 
 

That happened right at the start of beta when a particular alliance of orgs (mostly) objected to the way the markets were set up and NQ changed them. (I'm not in that alliance of orgs and I disagree with the change), but it is an example of what you're talking about.
 
Also, because the flight model is written in Lua and we have access to the source code, quite a few of us "fixed" the flight model for our own constructs and reported to NQ what we were doing. NQ made some very nice updates to the stock flight model based on what we players did. (AFAIK, NQ took ideas, not code, and wrote their own code for the changes.)

I'd rather be able to load in a voxelized  obj file into the game, but NQ said no to that a long time ago.

wen do we get dual universe is what i wanna know... ?

roflmao. XL cores? rofl.

Compacting the player's base back to their inventory would be appropriate. A player doesn't have a right to have a base on someone else's tile and if you get kicked out of your org, that org is now someone else (other than you or your org).
 
Yes, fixing the underlying issues is better, but absent that, fixing the resulting CF on a case by case basis would be polite.

NQ maybe should not intervene in a single issue like removing some core.
But
they should finally solve the major issue after half a year
they could:
 
disable overlap protection completely for cores on the planet surface (for space core this feature is still useful)  
reduce the size for the overlap protection zone to the actual size of the build zone  
allow the tileowner to ignore the overlap protection  
allow the tileowner to remove cores from his territory (so they are compacted into the core owners inventory)  
add a RDMS policy for TCU that disables the overlap protection  

JUST ONE of this workarounds would solve the issue for most players/ orgs.
They just have to pick the one thats the easiest to do.
But since 6 months we are talking to a wall.
 
2/3 of our city territory is still unusable for already 6 months because of this.
