    SirJohn85 got a reaction from IvanGrozniy in This is war (?)   
    FB has already released a few games. They have nothing to prove to themselves. It wasn't harsh enough in my eyes. The comment was well deserved.
     
    See you outside the safezone on Eos.

    I'll keep that in mind.  Expose the flow. Stay steamy. See you in Starbase.

    SirJohn85 got a reaction from GraXXoR in Do you think this is a good game to teach math and science?   
    I knew a few people who had the technical know-how to do really cool things and were invested just for the Lua stuff. What happened to them? They stopped playing when NQ decided that their work would not be protected or covered up. Why invest hundreds of hours in programming when people can just take it and you as NQ declare it as opensource? I still have the video here with the time stamp where I know they got the middle finger from NQ. Funnily enough, it is again the video where power management and AvA are also discussed. This has always been sold to people differently over the years. And with the podcast came the bummer that set everything in motion.
     
     
    But to come back to your question: I was working with C# in Space Engineers and was very proud when my solar panels aligned with the sun for the first time. It's not the same in DU without my people around me who I enjoyed playing with.

    I hope NQ takes something away from all the threads that have sprung up here in the meantime.

    Wasn't meant to be a rule either, just the hint that if you want someone to see it from NQ that it won't be until Monday.

    Not only that. Also how they have decided to communicate over the years. Even if they figure it out today and come up with a decent game in the next few years... The way they have treated the community over the last few years should be an alarming sign.
     
    If you had told me 4 years ago what would become of DU, I would have bought an early access version of Starbase instead of my Ruby pledge for each of my 6 friends.

    As I am in the Starbase Closed Alpha since mid 2020 and have no NDA and am allowed to show and talk everything:
    There is currently only one gas planet and if I am not mistaken 10 moons. The closest being around 20'000km (55 hours at 100 m/s , 37 hours at 150m/s) from the asteroid belt. The largest moon is thought to be 1000km in diameter. Planned features: player built stations (on moon and space, space is already in the making), mining lunar rocks. More to come with time, I guess.
     
    You won't be able to have a voxel-like comparison with DU because Starbase has no voxels. Think of it more like a kit that follows the principle of Space Engineers and Empyrion, but has a comparably great complexity of DU. I think everyone has to decide for themselves what they find more beautiful. I think both approaches are good. 
     
    The other things, however, sound more exciting to me:
    - Modifiable engines that you have to cool? It's in.
    - Modifiable command seats with buttons, displays, server racks, a programming language and saving code on elements and giving it to other players? Yes, it's there.
    - Modifiable weapon attachments for the mounted weapons on the ships? Yep.
    - Cable and pipe management for power and fuel? Sure, you'll need to build a redundant system inside the ship.
    - Glass elements? Mhm, yep.
    - AvA, CvC, raiding ships? Yes!
    - Can I place mining lasers on the ship? Yessss!
    - Can I carry the asteroids with my ship to a safe zone and mine them there in peace? YES!
    - Ship designer? Yep.
