dig dig dig dig dig .... oh look a floating ark ship! 

I can relate to basically all of this. I went through the same thought processes, bought the same pledge for the same reason and had the same idea about gold accounts! Glad to see I'm not the only one

Any bit helps NQ and some people are not as fortunate in the economy as others. I am sure there are people who wish they could be a high money backer.
 
That being said, I believe in the path that NQ is taking and the way they handle everything! 

I did this with the combination of limiting my spending from the time I found this game and the time I pledged. However, I do this without wanting something, so, I save the money in case I run into a game or hobby I need money for! 
 
The price is very generous for pledges and what they offer. I feel like they already are on the low side of pricing with the rewards. 

Usually, its not a stretch for me to buy 1 full price AAA game a month, lets say its $59.99 USDs (idk what it is in euros sorry).
So I thought about what level of backing I wanted, and what I personally wanted to invest to help the game. I knew I wanted
as much possible play time as I could get, and I would have chosen Ruby for the lifetime, but I opted and decided for me it was more worth
investing the DACs digital Sapphire provided (especially if they grow in value). If 4 years of playtime isn't enough time to start having what I put together
to earn future DACs for me, I probably have bigger problems to worry about :/

Anyways, I simply chose to not buy any new games for like 4 months, and I realized Sapphire wasn't REALLY that much of a loss for me, especially if the game
wasn't coming out during that wait time anyway... Plus, its a game I've always wanted to see a reality, it's worth every dollar I put in to help make it a reality...
I've even considered buying some IRL friends Gold founders or just spare Gold accounts that I could give out to friends as I saw fit. No one took me up in time though...

Anyways, truth is, if you couldn't save $140 or so in the 9+ months (since just this year at least), I'd seriously say you have bigger priorities that you should be working on more than this game.

I didn't even know this existed.
This is great stuff

I love the logo and the objectives! Good luck with the development of your organization!

While out of context this statement is a good one, we're talking about trolling and I think it's a bad idea to make that a bannable offense. The game is shaped and built by the players. Players that want to destroy for fun can do that, it shouldn't be against the rules; it should be up us, the players, to police that.
 
If you build a house on a hill then log off for a week, it's should be a no brainer that when you get back your house will have been ransacked.
 
I can see though how there might be some doubts though, like how civilization will work around the Arkship when no one has a TCU yet. That, I don't know...

Welcome, its always good to see more DU-ers

Its quite the investment but for these guys, I think its worth it

Your body vanishes. Your construct (ship, house, Statue of Liberty with a Lightsaber instead of a torch) still remains in-game. If you log inside a Saezone, they can't trap you, unless you are inside ther construct's voxel grid.

If you log out while flying your ship, you will relog inside your ship, even if it moves. If it's robbed or GTA'd, I don't really know the answer to that.

So yeah, you may need to park you ship inside a space-station if it's too heavy to land o na planet (physics is a bitch on lift-off, so is fuel consumption). 

Or even better, people may actually run "space parking lots".

As for planets, that's why cities will emerge. So people can log out insdie their houses, where nobody can barricade them isndie via "voxel boxes" or something like that.

Also, in the wilds away from a safezone, if you relog and find someone has traped you in a voxel box, you can actually break thevoxels with your wepaons.. The game is not just Construct VS Construct, it's about Avatar VS Avatar combat as well. You can break free of your "prinon".


Cheers.

I think EVE did a good job (prior alpha clones):
 
- free trial for (iirc) 14days with all basic skills available and only higher tiers locked (like stealth, capitals, advanced stuff - you won't get there in <1 year)
- If you unsubbed and no PLEX was in use, you're acc was suspended
- when you wanted to come back you could log in on the website and activate a 4h limited access to your account. Then you could play your char for 4h with no limitations. This was implemented to allow people to get their assets to safety or they could just fly to a market, buy a PLEX, use it and thus having 1 month of gametime again.
 
I like such a system with no F2P element at all (even though that would only be on a very basic level).

"Do we need a discussion for this?" I say as I'm gripping the weapon handle.
"C'mon Kuritho, you DON'T actually think we're signing this for real. We are going to kill them the chance we get." Remarks Jerai.
"I guess we'll go hide behind this cover of 'safety', ready to strike."
"Showtime, baby!"
 
 
And this is basically how a lot of us will go, hiding behind this diplomat that is of no protection, striking down with force once ready. But some of us, like Twerk, TheBlender and I, will go bold. Go first.
 
Strike first

What does this have to do with Cryogenics? Or is just a name?

Careful blender, these people are highly allergic to common sense.

I disagree with this motion.
 
I believe comba, attacking, and looting are features that also needs testing. Even griefing to an extent.
Not because I simply want to be an a**, but I'm sure the DEVs want to test the game on a relatively normal
And projected environment.
 
If and when such things presents problems, I feel that it is better to realize these sooner than later.

You little mother... FECers?
 
Oh well, hope you have a good time!

Expected numbers and size?-
 
Many may have questions about expected goal size of the org, and how large we plan to get. Right now, we're looking to fill 100 slots and no more, however this is dependent on if we implement activity policies, and if we plan to have ships with requiring a larger amount of crew members. It is far too early to say for certain how these systems will effect a desired atmosphere of final desired member count as the game is still in development. However, we can say for certain, we will aim for quality over quantity, a close-nit community, but one with enough to still get the job done.

love your logo, truly, its a great break from mmtheboss's logo debauchery.
love the idea, i like fringe factions.
hope you guys do good  

Hi everyone! 

Considering todays post about BOO and the numbers of players in the top ten Orgs, 
I have decided to post my charts on here as well as Twitter. 

I forgot to place my name on them and now have, but figured seeing as it is fit, I would post them directly here as well, it's just been a little supervising side project of mine to see how the orgs and forums handled in posts, members, etc when the kickstarter came around as well as me just having a general interest in the numbers. 

So, I update the charts daily - with member orgs who have fallen off the top ten staying on there for up to seven days just in case they come back to the top.

Anyway, without rambling on too much longer. 
Have my charts. 
But stop asking for access, please, you won't get it, I'm just trying to provide consolidated data in a point for my own and others interest. 
 

 
The iframe isn't working currently, though I will post updates daily with images till I work it out, it may just be incompatible, I'm unsure.

Live chart can be found here
 
Edit**: Fixed some colouring issues.
