[Gigantic ships taking up landing pads at markets]

22 hours ago, Haunty said:

Ejecting/teleporting the ship outside of the market area after some time might be better than deleting. Temporary storing ship in a virtual garage could work, but NQ would have to make some physical thing where you go to manifest your ship again. Magic blueprint wouldn't make sense because then people would just use the districts to create magic blueprints so they can transport things without mass/volume.

they arlready have "overflow parking" they just need some system to automate it for them

 

[Let's talk XS Core Death Cubes...]

I would like to see some type of stealth. Say you have a small stealth unit on your ship then the enemy detection range on your ship is reduced by 1 core size. I.E. you have a medium core with a small stealth unit makes you have the same detection range of a small core. Or you have a large core with a medium stealth unit that also makes your detection range, as in the enemy detecting you, the same as a small core.

Once they implement power in the game I believe a lot of this will be balanced. Enjoy the meta while you can.

If something happened in alpha you probably should not be talking about it here. 

It was a discussion which was never confirmed. We are no longer in Alpha. Just because something was discussed in Alpha does not mean it can not be discussed again.

Let me rephrase it: 

Are there any plans on letting anybody control a planet/moon if they control x amount of territories? If so how much of said planet/moon would need to be controlled by a player.

[Controlling/owning a planet.]

What percentage of territories do you need to own to control/own the planet/moon? I know in alpha they tossed around 70%. Have they implemented this feature yet? Have they settled on a number?

[A reason to claim all territories]

[Supporter/Pledge/ect info]

I would like to have a way to see what all I will be getting for what I have pledge. 

The reason I ask is because I was a founder and forgot what I am getting for what I pledged. Also, reading through the news it said some packages that did not have name reservations are now getting 3rd or 4th priority. If I am missing something please let me know. 

 

Thank you in advance.

[Assassins Creed Origin Codes]

I have some codes for something in the game but don't play it. First come first serve. Don't bother saying they don't work, I will just assume somebody else already claimed. If somebody enters them into their system please let me know and I will update the topic.

 

I guess they are all claimed

[Good Lua tutorials?]

codecombat.com has some Lua stuff. It starts out super basic, I'm not sure how advanced it gets later.

I know this post is old but I stumbled onto it and started using codecombat to learn lua. I have taken intro couse to C so I know the basics. If anybody needs to learn from scratch I think this website would be good but they do not support LUA, as in support staff, so if you have any problems you have to post in forums and hope someone can help you.

Don't post this here, this belongs in the pre-alpha section. Posting this here is breaking the NDA 

You are completely right, thought I was. Pre-alpha section is the only section I ever go to. Thanks for the catch.

Blueprints are safe (and your work as in a stamp or something), as said several times by jc. You can't steal master BPs but you can copy them to sell it to ppl.

 

But you can't preventedit ppl from destroying your ship part by part and rebuilding it.

 

You can steal master blueprints. 

[Moving parts and mechanics]

The problem with this sort of thing is the added technical strain it imposes on the server. We're  going to have hundreds of ships in one place at any given time, and if even half of them are moving and transforming, that's a massive additional technical load. So, while I agree that this is cool, it's not technically wise.

 

I personally would like to have moving parts. However, I think they will not implement it partly because of what you stated but also because that would help to automate a lot of things which they don't want.

If you have a Founders Pack, you'll start at the same time as the Kickstarter backers (the packs are the same, the difference between the current crowdfunding and Kickstarter is the price and "pets" were only available during Kickstarter). 

 

After this current crowdfunding closes on September 7th, the packs that go on sale in Q4 are "Supporter Packs". It looks like you bought a Gold Founder pack, so you're all good for Phase 1 Alpha. 

Well I misread that article. Thanks for clarifying. LOL

I'm pretty sure that if you mine dirt you will get dirt. Most materials will be buried under the surface so you will have to do a bit of digging to get to it which will give you some excess dirt/basic materials. 

That is what I though and hope for, just hearing mixed responses on different topics. Do you have a quote from the Devs or anything? The video that I watched showed them mining and when they placed the voxels back it looked like ore that they mined and not the top 4 feet of dirt that was showed in the video. 

 

If we have dirt to fill back in the hole I wouldn't mind  doing some landscaping.

[End of the Founder Packs, Crowdfunding portal evolution & Alpha News]

I can't comment on the forum in rules so I will have to post here.

 

I understand that the current crowdfunding will close 7th September, which I am assuming that phase 1 of Alpha for backers will start after that. 
My questions are: 

How long after phase 1 Alpha will phase 2 Alpha start? I am using phase 2 Alpha as the members who are getting alpha access during the current crowdfunding.

 

When will the new crowd funding open in reference to when phase 2 Alpha starts.

 we will provide "Supporter" Packs in a new format. These packs will be available to let supporters either join early to give feedback that could help shape or improve the game mechanics, or just to support the vision Dual Universe carries and help us to remain as independent as possible. 

Does join early mean alpha phase 3 or beta?

 

Thank you,

Or have beacons placed around your underground base that when you use a scanner it pulses and they reflect back off the beacons.

 

I think this would be the best solution at the beginning. Would allow people to dig underground without the possibility of it being used to find other people's bases. In the future maybe implement the jammer and advanced scanner that can detect others caves/constructs/ect.

[consequences of non-regenerating planets and ressources]

I have a question. People say to fill it back in. I have read other forums that said, or strongly suggested, that when collecting ore you will not gather dirt. If this is the case what would we fill it back in with? I personally wouldn't mind filling a hole back in with excess dirt that I have. However if I have to build blocks out of ore to place down to have a smooth surface I wouldn't fill it back in. Or are the others wrong and will we collect dirt when gathering ore?

[Modules need power]

I would guess that they would require power like Space Engineers. If they end up having lasers or anything like that for weapons you will need some type of power source. I know for planets you will have solar power, or something similar as suggested in dev blog, to power your force field or whatever it is called.
