Hello Friend, I'm loving how many people i've read are coming from Space Engineers, maybe they should be worried a little bit because DU looks to steal their thunder.. Well it's going to steal my attention at least. Can't wait to play with you and everyone or just play in general ... Someone should make a faction called 'Space Engineers' or something... ha...

I love this thread, but I want to ask a question about the Cut/Copy/Paste of blueprints/Patterns. Will these be locked to singular placement, as in they can only be placed when they do no intersect with anything else and will they be locked to a single orientation or are they rotatable and flyable? I posted in a different thread about 'module' construction. Where you could save many 'prefabs' and bring them out to 'attach' them onto a current construction, much like a kerbal space program way of prefrabing. So this would allow you to store up a library of many different smaller constructions that don't really do anything spectacular by themselves but can be 'added' to current/new builds to give it a extra effect. So i could have a module that is a 'Single Medical Bay' (for example), it's purpose is to support 1 person with medical treatment and has all the required components to work, but is built in a fashion that it can be 'added' to other constructions or duplicated in a line to make a medical facility made up of 10 iterations of the single medical bay.... Oh and during writing this i've just thought of something else if modules are going to be a part of DU. Will we be able to edit the 'Parent' module and any changes will changed on the 'child/copy' modules if we have the resources. Maybe the module goes into a 'unfinished' state when you edit that 'Parent' or something. God i haven't been this excited since i was the Primary Tester for Planet Explorers, which i've just remembered about too, this feels like a better more improved version of that... With Planets!..

I like this... Could there not be more valuable resources the deeper you go, but the more upgraded items/suit/machines you'll need to survive the temperatures pressures or something like that ?.. I also like the idea of having a Gravity Train.that's powered by a vacuum and gravity going from one point on the planet to the other in a straight line through the planet. Maybe not through the core but the closer you dig/create the tunnel to the core the higher level items materials you'll need?..

I feel like there is going to be some 'Wars in the Stars' between these two groups... ha..

You are just a nasty person, you know that.. Soon is like telling a dog to 'stay' when he's sitting infront of a treat and then never telling him to go get it.... See i have all this wallet full of things that i could be throwing and nothing to throw it at...

Should just be "the free worlds" because as you've mentioned it's also an empire.. could be a guild or a faction ect... don't want to have to many collectives strung together when the game has its own name for them. Not wanting to pick at it, but as a hopeful recruit I thought I'd throw in my 2cents now rather than later Also on phone so apologies for grammar and spelling ect

Wow thanks, I'm new to the forums so havent had the chance to look at everything yet so you've answered a bunch of questions I had already and given me a whole bunch more... But as I'm on my phone I'll have to check out everything when I'm on my desktop, sounds like you've given me enough to occupy myself for while +1 if I could.

Is that a trick question?...

Oh please elaborate on the "more" part here please, what kind of machines and how many ect ..

But I get something though?... bargin

Why have you called it dual universe?, I've had a look around and tried to find something to explain the name but haven't had any luck. Many things Ive played before have had some connection to their names but so far I'm out of luck finding a connection here. So, why is it called dual universe? And basically just why make Dual Universe in general? P.s. couldnt even commute home without posting, this game is going to break me.

I'm going to agree here too. I'm thinking about another certain space game with citizens and such that for me (as a backer) has kind of became a Half-Life 3 joke. It's going to be amazing when it comes out but I know enough about the thing now to just not really care anymore, there isn't a mystery or anything left in it, I know how it's going to work and where it's going to work.... It's just a matter of 'When' it's going to work.. I'd of preferred to not know anything. (Talking about the Main game, not the Arena commander)

As someone who didn't get the change to play Elite because I backed Star Citizen (different games but similar enough to only pick one imo) how do you pronounce Alioth, just out of curiosity ? If I'm going to be spending a lot of time watching this game and learning about it might as well get the easy questions out of the way first I think..

What if we throw money at you 'Mr/Mrs Alpha Team Member' ?

Those screenshots.. For use of a better term, make me giddy like a little school girl.. (27yr Old man here). Question though, that i've not seen anywhere in my adventuring around the forums is modular building. In that i mean building sections of a stucture/vehicle..ect at once, kind of like a copy & paste but prefab'd. I don't know if I'm explaining this correct, but if you think of how kerbal space program does prefab designs, something like that. where you can 'Attach' specifically designed and saved for multiple use parts onto a main body. Or is everything required to be created from scratch everytime?.. I haven't had the chance to look around the forums 100% yet, so maybe asked/answered elsewhere, i'm only asking because one of the screenshots has a view of multiple people standing around multiple buildings and i'm thinking about the copy & paste quick setup of bases/ buildings on new planets with friends and how (if possible) Dual Universe does it. Also, I'm borrowing all the screenshots for desktop usage, I hope that is alright xD EDIT: Becuase i didn't want to double post. How close are the planets going to be?.. The one thing I don't really like about Space Engineers, even though I love the game and the planets, is the 'NEED' to rely on the Jump Drive. I want to be able to speed up and get from planet to planet without 'Jumping' multiple times, breaks immersion and enjoyably for me that. I've found myself in SE staying much more in one location than i should because 'jumping' isn't fun. I want to FLY LIKE THE WIND... in space... where there is no wind...

I think i put my hello post in the wrong position but well I've done it anyway.. But what is this about joining a group and how does one go about doing that?

I am Excited and i didn't know where to post it as I've only just found this game and couldn't contain myself while at work so couldn't find the right place to make my first post. What I'm imagining from the answers in this thread (and the bits I've read elsewhere) is that this game is just a Space Engineers MMO... I have a ridiculous amount of time and creations in SE but SE just doesn't have enough 'space' (lol?). Potentially infinite planets/ space/ players/ creations/ THINGS... I am game for all of that and more, I'm going to university in September to do computer science (Games Development Obviously) and one of the things i want to do with it when i graduate is space sandbox games. There just isn't a good enough game to satiate my hunger for space and construction. The one thing I'm hoping for out of this game (as factories was mentioned somewhere) is a kind of Space Engineers & Factorio combination feel in an infinite universe. I don't know if i'd be able to contain myself if it had anything like that. I'm far to excited right now, so I'm going to stop typing and calm myself down. But potentially infinite universe with every player playing on the same universe where you can build your own... everything?... what can go wrong with it.... I need this game...
