  1. Well, I suppose you could make the case that since we are in a completely different universe than Earth was, some materials that did not exist in our system are present in the new one. Also, certain elements from our universe would not exist. Some would have no real function in a game like DU, arsenic for example. They could either create a smaller periodic table by simply eliminating unneeded elements, or they could replace them with something useful. I personally would like to see a full periodic table, with the majority of elements having a function in the game. Some might be passive, such as oxygen, while others are used actively by the players to produce various items or materials.
  2. I could see this for small containers, (as in, maybe compact-car sized ones,) but I feel that being able to simply manipulate a full-size shipping crate by hand would detract from the game. I think you should need to build some kind of "mover" vehicle, like a sci-fi forklift of sorts. It would make sense, since larger / heavier objects should need more powerful equipment to move them. Besides, it would add another element to shipping large amounts of cargo. It isn't just anyone who would be able to move 7-ton containers around. This would create a need for actual shipping specialists with access to the necessary equipment. This isn't to say that hover-pallets are a bad idea, only that once a container is "hovered", you should still need a vehicle of some kind to move it. As a side note, a hover "lifter" that attaches to the top of the crate might be better than a pallet because it wouldn't have to sit under the container. That means you could position the container, then remove the lifter an attach it to the next one.
  3. I think it would be pretty neat if they add an interactive table of elements into the game. Something in your HUD perhaps? You know, the kind that lists all the elements that exist, along with data (specific gravity, melting temperature, natural hardness, etc.) and production stats, (alloys, uses, wear resistance, etc.) and their data (as above.)
  4. I just happen to be browsing Kickstarter near the beginning of the campaign. I actually remember skipping over it the first time through. (I was actually looking for cool card decks.) Then I started to get bored and remember thinking: "Hm, Dual Universe, cool name," and the rest is history!
  5. Thanks for the input Aetherios! I had originally considered putting "Duals" on the list, along with "Dualers", but decided against it because those words sound virtually identical to "Duels" and "Duelers" both of which produce a very different picture than what is intended. I am glad there was something else on the list you liked though!
  6. Sounds good to me! We are almost halfway there at this point.
  7. Looks like a good option to me! Simple enough to remain legible as a tiny symbol, and unique enough to be easily distinguished from any normal letters.
  8. Thanks! Now I am curious though, where it was that people saw the currency called "Quanta". Perhaps NQ changed the name in a recent update? No offense to either party, I just want to be sure we are referencing the most current material. Now, for what the U2 symbol would look like......
  9. Perhaps someone could post a link to the most recent update that discusses in-game money? Just so the rest of us have a verified name.
  10. Good idea, the initial base could be more or less just the central tower with a few outlying rooms at the bottom.
  11. I like #2, (Counting from the left,) it is simple yet attractive. Without the parallel lines, though, #4, #6, and #7 would look pretty cool too! With the lines, I think they would look cluttered when reduced to a tiny symbol, which is how they would be displayed in-game.
  12. So, next question is: what will the symbol for "Quanta" look like? I would guess it will be some kind of fancy letter "Q" but it would be nice to know for sure. Ah, well...small issue. We will probably see some ideas for it in update videos.
  13. You make some good points Anonymous, however, I am looking for ideas about how the actual players on the other end of the internet would like to be referenced, be it here in the forums or in general conversation elsewhere. This does not necessarily have anything to do with the history of their character in the game. You are absolutely correct, though. There will be various ways that people will refer to their characters, and the intricacies of each one's history may cause them to be recognized as a part of many groups, as you described.
  14. Hello Tincreek, welcome to the Dual Universe forums! Dualeers is certainly descriptive, I will add it to the list!
  15. Yes it is! By the way, for those of you who voted before I added "Arkers" and "Arkians" to the poll, don't forget that you can always re-vote to include them if you like. You just have to press "Delete My Vote" and re-enter your choices. Just an FYI.
  16. Great comments fellas! I like Pioneer too, Cybrex, but I'm not sure it is a term that would apply to everyone for long. After all, once Alioth is settled, the true pioneers will be those going out to explore the galaxy, while others will live comfortably behind the front lines. Kurock, Aliothians is what those who live on Alioth will be called for sure! It doesn't really apply to everyone though. Same thing with "Earthers", it is a good name, just not quite as universal (pardon the pun) as what I am referring to. Probably because we are only passengers until we get off the Arkship, after that.... It does have a nice ring to it though!
  17. Updated poll with both "Arkers" and "Arkians". Good suggestions guys, keep 'em coming!
  18. Thanks for the input Zamarus! I am trying to move this conversation to a thread I started on the subject so as not to clutter this one up too much, so if you would like to see what others are suggesting you will find that at this link: https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/10927-what-should-du-citizens-be-called/
  19. Hello twoshell! Welcome to Dual Universe forum. If you have any questions feel free to ask around, most of the members here will be happy to help. Sometimes your questions will already have been asked by someone else, so they may direct you to a thread that deals with what you want to know, which I find very helpful. I hope you enjoy the forums as much as I do!
  20. Thanks for the input! If you like that option, just click on the box next to it at the top of the thread and hit "submit vote".
  21. Also I too am excited that they are putting more into Alpha! This means that (hopefully) they will include more in Beta as well, which means more content at release! I am sure it will be well worth the wait!
  22. Not to hijack the thread, but here is that poll I mentioned on a name for Citizens:https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/10927-what-should-du-citizens-be-called/
  23. Of course people will call themselves and others what they wish, Shynras. This is meant as a "community brainstorm" for a generalized reference. Nothing is stopping you from referring to yourself as part of an organization or community, I am just trying to see what others think is a good name to refer to players as "in general". If you feel that this is a pointless thread, feel free to ignore that it exists, I won't be offended.
  24. People in Russia are called Russians, those in France are French, and people from America are Americans; but what should people in Dual Universe be called? "Dual Universians" is kind of immersion-breaking, since it is nothing other than the title of the game itself. So, what do you think? If you have any suggestions other than what is on the poll, please feel free to suggest them! I will try to keep up with this and post any other REASONABLE options on the poll. I will not be putting up anything I think is offensive, or if it is just pointless. (like: "name-of-my-organization"-ites, or "I-like-space"-ers.) Other than that, let's hear your thoughts! (By the way, you can select more than one option in the poll. )
  25. Well, we could use the Arkship's name, (which was Novark, if I remember correctly,) and be called "Novarkians", "Novarkites", or "Novarkers". But honestly, none of those appeal to me. What about the galaxy name? Does anyone remember what that was? You know what... I think I will start a thread on this, it is a pretty important subject!
