I like this idea and think it should be added, as there is so much content potential here. Of course the basics of the game need to be added first, and then this content should start to be added and expanded on. I can see not only the horticulture, forestry skill tree, but also the genetics features about this implemented. I know they have indicated their will be pets, so there may be a animal husbandry skill tree in the future as well, which may be related to this topic.

That's what smugglers are for. To get explosives where explosives shouldn't be allowed. You know.. for "fireworks" and "excitement". Or... you know, a death squad in general. These bombs won't blow themselves up.
 
In fact, if people don't figure out a proper and safe way of black market delivery without sacrificing a toon in the process via ban, I will be thoroughly disappointed.

In order to support a varied market/economy, I think the dev should give players the tools to do agriculture as their primary specialty.  The recipes need to be more involved than requiring only what we dig out of the ground.  There are a lot of materials such as textiles, wood, fiber, medicines, oils, not to mention plant and animal based food than can come from this.  
 
Of course in order to make this specialty interesting, it should be as in depth as mining appears to be.  For example, say you come  across a particular plant on some alien planet and it is discovered that this plant can be used to repair genes.  That makes the plant very valuable but maybe it is exceptionally particular as to its growing requirements.  It would take a skilled farmer to figure out how to cultivate it.
 
It has been said that there will be plenty to do for people who arn't aggressors and don't want to engage in combat.  This could be one of those activities.  Anyways, it would make for a more immersive environment for you PVPers to see patchwork farms while you fly over and away from the cities.

May not be related to topic, but I just thought that if people were going to complain to NQ that their ship was destroyed because someone thought it would be fun to do so, and they want their ship back, I should make an insurance company. Emergent gameplay solves the problem yet again!

Will there be a way to self destruct as a last ditch attempt to cripple the enemy or if you get boarded by enemy's

Please add links on the forum page to the main website, similar to how the main website has links to the forum.
 
I realize this is not exactly on the high list of priorities for gameplay mechanics, however it should help with communications with the community and potential future community members. Forgive me if the link is somewhere on the forum web page, however I could not locate it, which should be good feedback in and of it self. I did not see a post on this yet, so my apologies if this has already been mentioned.
 
Looking forward to the Dual Universe experience.
 
 
 
 

We should probably have a designated combat zone if everyone agrees to this, the mechanics of combat are going to need to be tested

So, then only thing I can think of to ask about at the moment is, what does everyone think about Mechs? All I'm going to say on this is, there is a lot of potential in this, and I really want to see this game go far. So dev crew? Show us what you got!

For some parts of the world, the holidays are coming up for most of us. Just want to take the time to remind everyone to reach out to old friends, loved ones, and even strangers. Tell them you appreciate them and love them. Holidays are the worst time of the year for suicides, and sometimes all it takes is a phone call to remind someone that others love them.
 
Besides the sappy stuff, get drunk, party, kick your cat, and crap in your family members stockings. Share the love, be safe while traveling, and always bring your towel with you. 
 
PS: Call your mom.
 
Thanks,
Cybrex

Hello,
 
I am looking to join an organization...perhaps yours. I have played a variety of games going on my second decade. (Don't make fun of older people... ) I played eve online for one of those decades and enjoyed the game immensely, but I decided to stop inserting quarters into that game. I am really looking forward to watching the DU game take shape and help shape it. If you look me up in Steam I am under the same character name.
 
Game style:
 
Explorer; Support Function, Electronic Warfare, Scout, Miner, Industrialist, Researcher, Large Fleet Warfare, Loyal, Honor Code.
 
If you have a budding organization that will be ready to deploy in Alpha to help shape DU into a long lasting time suck... I mean wonderful enjoyful experience that drives your significant other crazy then PM me and tell me a little about your organization.
 
For all the rest of you "DU'ers" ™ I look forward to seeing you in game.
 
cheers,
