Propaganda fail.  Thank you, come again.
 

Another difference would be that it would require clearance above the ship, instead of under it. And the blades rotating part would just be cosmetic and not actual mechanical movement.

Here's one for your thick skull. 2 teams doing a war reenactment with strict rules and an unannounced  3rd team comes in with real weapons and kills everyone. Keep playing dumb guy its a space game I know your not this dense.   

My post has nothing to do with NQ cool story guy. Someone else said it best, if I play a pick up game of basketball in a park and you come in and kick the ball yelling Soccer, doesn't mean you did something illegal does it? No of course not, but what it does mean your a special kind of jerk off. BOO is an org of trolls and jerk offs apparently, but it is what it is. Please though don't hesitate, tell me more about how its all NQ's fault. NQ didn't make BOO act like like the autistic kid who hates basketball so I don't know wtf your talking about.

^ Summary of yesterday. 

There's are reason why meta is considered cheating in RP. This was intended as an RP combat event. Griefer orgs... whatcha gonna do?

Why are you still allowed here after what you did?

In all fairness, this is more of an RP event that PvP per se, and even in real life you have to plan an RP event.
 
Not quite sure the point you’re making is entirely relevant here.  

Alternative headline:
Boo are so bored they crashed a Star Wars RP event with their meta builds. 
 
This game’s search for civilization is plumbing new depths of fail. 

I guess this is why i said the plan for player driven civilization building game was very optimistic.
 
More examples coming soon.

Yes, a rotor would basically be the hover engine without the height limit and a very sharp decline in lift at higher altitudes with thinner air.

Rotors are a lot more efficient than a jet engine pointed downward. Rotors are designed to be efficient at zero (vertical) speed. Jets are more efficient the faster they are moving along their axis of thrust - and horribly inefficient at zero speed. One could argue that DU atmo engines aren't really jets (but then what are they?), but you can't argue that they only have more than half thrust when placed vertically (and I believe, full fuel consumption).
 
A rotor would essentially be a reskin of an atmo engine with some modified stats - so it burn maybe twice what a hover does for the same lift and can fly higher. Doesn't need to be able to get over 50% atmo to give us decent rotary wing vehicles. (Although Ingenuity on Mars flies at 1% atmo assuming it works - I don't think they've flown it yet as of this writing).

Wheels would be nice too.  Still baffled that in the future mankind forgot the wheel.

Been asking for rotors or drone rotors/tail rotors myself for a while now. We need some kind of hover engine that goes from hoverpad height to 1+km.
 
+1 from me.

In 2021, NASA landed a helicopter on Mars... 10000 years later we don't have helicopters on Alioth. Why?

I have asked a similar question many times. DU is a world where flying is the only means of transportation. But there is no technology in the game with efficiency and practicality that would justify such a society.
 
A world that evolved into only using flying, would at the very least need flying tech that would beat trucks, boats, trains etc. at transporting.

I understand that some of you are angry at NQ for the latest patch and other various shenanigans. In a way, I agree with you; i'm not picking any sides here. But this criticism has turned into toxicity. Some people believe that it is acceptable to pick apart and beat Novaquark with hate instead of calmly and kindly giving helpful advice on how to make the game improve. Some people believe whenever someone comments a different opinion about the 0.23 update it is their primary objective to thrash back and pour salt on them because 'no one can say nice things about the update'.  Some people believe that since the game has turned out slightly different from what they expected they must alert and discourage everyone from playing the game because it is a 'scam*'. Some people believe that just because their experience is ruined they must ruin it for everyone else. And some people just jump on the salt bandwagon even if they have never set up an industry unit in their life.
 
I will repeat what I just said. I am NOT saying that 0.23 was either a good or bad of an update. If you hate it, that's fine. But people like this are becoming a large excrement deposit on the Dual Universe community. You might have heard that recently a forum conversation got out of hand when an individual exposed a LinkedIn profile of an NQ employee. That is flat out unacceptable. If you are one of the people like this, instead of beating this game and its 50 employees down, just LEAVE. This game would be much better without people like you anyway.
 
* I have watched the trailers many times now. in my disgustingly baist opinion it's not. (sacré bleu!) misleading? maybe slightly. But let's be honest here, for games that require player interaction, they all are. Take a look at the Starbase trailer for example. Just like Dual's trailer, they both include massive fight sequences, which take up half of the trailer runtime. Sure they are technically possible, but definitely aren't ever gonna happen apart from the rare few events and such.
 
I know that I will get a wave of salt from this post, just like my previous ones. so please be civil. I won't be responding to any of the people that are hating for the sake of hating or people saying the game is bad without giving at least a bit of constructive criticism. If you feel so inclined, just shout at a wall instead. 
 
 

Oh, they're killing the in-game presence too. The black hole level decision making continues lol.

Do (lua)scripts get loaded, even when they are off? By this  i also mean like, if you have 100 lights connected by relays (and they are turned off)
Like I have many Fast n Furious lightshows on my vehicle, but they are all locked with a switch
I noticed that my game is slower. Now that can be because of some other reason so I thought I could ask it here on the forum.
 
I want to make a ship with lots of funny things like auto sliding doors with flashing lights etc, but ive got the feeling that even they are not in use they will be loaded and slow down the game.
In Space engineers, it was like how I wanted. You could install many lights, but turning them off was better for performance.

Covers most of the basics.
 
One thing that would have been nicer is the "accountant" right which could check the log but not transfer/buy/sell. Many orgs will need people with the ability of merely checking the logs but without actually accessing the money itself.

Just thinking out loud here - could you achieve the same effect by having child orgs?  

So, for example, the Legates are in charge of purchasing, relieving that task from the Superlegate.
 
But they can't send members out to the markets to pick up what they purchased? 
 
That sounds like an additional layer of RDMS should be added, to designate access to the org market containers for specific members.
