The owner of a territory located outside of a Secure Area will be able to set up a Force Field Unit to protect their Normal Territories
 
No ships

I was referring to if we made the entire planet under the ASA given how they worded the ASA area only having common and low end materials. So we need UA on Alioth still

I find this to be fair all and all. The MSA is an interesting solution to the need for more safe areas.

Not necessarily Coke. I think you're confusing UA with a secure area...

UA's are everything outside of the ArkZone and MoonZone. The way I understood it was, that ASA and MSA are the  Safe Zones we've been discussing all the time. The UA is just another fancy name for the territories outside those Safe Zones. Which we still knew that those zones would be subject to the RDMS system. And we still know those can be secured by "Force Field". 
 
You CAN have your cities and be protected by Force Fields and RDMS, but once that Force Field Drops, as per the what the blog states, the 24-48 protection bubble will go online, after that,  anything is free to happen, whatever happens.

Destruction maybe? - I think this is fair, 24-48hrs is more than plenty time to get notified and take actions before its completely destroyed.

No but that's what Du is about for now and ppl should accept and realise this. 

Hi everyone!
 
A new Devblog has been released on Territory Protection Mechanics: you can find it here!
As we plan to post now all DevBlog articles directly on the website, we will have one dedicated topic per Devblog.
Feel free to give your feedback in the present topic for "Our thoughts on Territory Protection Mechanics".
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.
 

Emergent:
"in the process of coming into being or becoming prominent."
 
Emergent Gameplay: 
"Complex situations that emerge from simple mechanic interactions"
 
 
As many stated DU is NOT this first then that second...
 
Whilst a simple headline - like the one used above as an example - can lead someone to believe DU will be a building game first. You have to understand the whole in order to understand the meaning of what that headline means or is trying to portray...
 
 
So what does this mean?
 
Well, it means that during the first couple of months, maybe even years, the primary focus of the emergent gameplay maybe be building... and not in the sense that everyone is making it to be but as building (the process of creating - not physical items - but the emergent gameplay that will play the bigger part, of the later years of DU) the universe. You can't have warfare, politics, trade and pvp without having built the emergent player driven universe first. And sure, that building process can even entitle physical building of constructs as part of the building process of the "emergent universe". 
 
So again, while that headline in the website says "Building MMO" understand the context of it: DU is a "Civilization Building" MMORPG. What emerges from that... it is up to the players to decide when they interact with the simple mechanics of the game; trading, building, exploring and warfare. Who knows! Maybe it'll be more building of constructs, maybe the clashing of big empires and alliances, maybe it'll be a universe run by pirates full of pvp... The point is, we dont know what DU will be in the later years... we have to build that emergent universe ourselves and see what it turns out to be.

Yeah mostly because we ban EMP people as soon as they arrived on our discord. 
 
Welcome back i guess...

Such username.

Many incognito.

Much popcorn.

Wow.

Insanity

he would never.....

While posting on another thread i realized that im not certain how the game will take into effect that we are humans and that we would need to eat and drink to survive. I think somewhere in another thread or devblog something was mentioned about going out and hunting after we leave the ark ship.
 
 
But i just wanted to get everyone's opinion on if they believe this should be a mechanic in the game or not.
 
Personally id like to see it as it adds a very intriguing level of immersion into the game. especially for long space flights and wars far from your home system

Welcome! a healthy stream of info will start soon especially with the kickstarter going and alpha planned to begin early 2017

Hi everyone,
 
As this kind of topic has no legitimate reason to exist, it will be locked down.
 
@LISPYxLUNA:
 
Welcome on the official Dual Universe forum.
However, even if you are new, you are supposed to have read the forum rules, posted here:
https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/8-forum-rules/
 
What you just did was exactly breaking the rule III.e: "Naming/accusing people".
Accusing publicly people on the official forum, for any reason or motive, is clearly not authorized.
If you have a problem with a community member, you can contact the customer support team to explain the problem.
Despite being attentive to all community concerns, in certain cases (like this one), the customer support team won't take any action.
The reason: the Unofficial Discord is managed by community members and the Novaquark team has decided from the very beginning to avoid any attempt to take control and/or police media managed by the community.
 
Another broken rule: 
As a general rule, it's not allowed to post any private conversation without the agreement of all involved parties.
Again, if you have a problem with a community member, you can contact the customer support team to explain the issue.
 
As a consequence, any unauthorized screenshot posted publicly regarding a private conversation has been removed from this topic.
As you are new to the forum, this a first warning. 
Please do not insist in this kind of behavior.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar. 
 

When your org is still in the Cinderfall Syndicate

i am fairly certain that this has already been addressed and decided by NQ. my understanding is you will have a "first" and "last" name.

jokes on you im dead

the lore behind the alpha and beta to explain the wipes is this......we are still on the arkship and we are in a VR simulation while in our cyropods.  Alpha might even have weekly wipes. This isn't an early access game. This is also a single shard persistent world we will be living in. To not have wipes would cause so many issues. So while it might seem annoying that you might "lose" your creations you shouldn't go in to a test phase thinking what you are doing will be in the final game. Even how the game plays is up for change in a full release.

Hello and welcome to the forums Skunk,
Solo play is a possibility, the only think in your list that is for sure not gonna happen is AI made missions/quests, all missions/quests in the game will be player created.
 
The death penalty is talked about in some of the devblogs specifically the one about the res nodes. short version is when you die you are transported back to a the closet res node you have access to, you will lose random items in your inventory along with any ship you were flying in.
 
here is a faq page we as the community made for easy navigation.
