    Alethion reacted to NQ-Pann in Market Clean-Up (Updated Oct 20, 2021)   
    Update 10-20-21 - REMINDER: These rules are still in effect and are now extended to mission hubs. 

    In an effort to improve the experience of visiting some of our most popular markets, we will be implementing a new set of rules for constructs left at markets. Enforcement of these rules will begin on the 3rd of September at 6pm UTC. (That’s one week from the date of this notification.)
     
    We want to encourage a free and open game environment for all to enjoy. It’s in the spirit of that goal that these measures are being put into place.
     
    Only ships are allowed on the market landing platform. Constructs must be parked outside the green perimeter line surrounding the main market building and the access ramp to the market. One container construct per entity (player or organization) will be allowed for the purpose of storage below the landing pads. Shop constructs, advertisements, and dispensers are not permitted at any markets. These should be placed on your own tiles or at districts instead. We would like to remind you that you now have the ability to place a “Welcome Visitors” marker on your territory.  Under no circumstances may player constructs intersect with the Aphelia constructs. Constructs at the Aphelia markets must be parked either on the landing platform or the ground around the Aphelia markets. Airspace within 2km of the market building must remain clear. XL screens and screen arrays are not permitted within 2km of the market building Constructs that violate these rules may be hidden, removed, or abandoned without warning. Novaquark reserves the right to move, hide, or delete constructs at its discretion, for example if they are designed to circumvent these rules or if they impact marketplace performance or usability.  
    To safeguard the performance of everyone visiting these locations, we strongly encourage players to adapt any screens and advertisements to use Lua based Render Script instead of SVG/HTML even if that is in the form of uploading an image of your SVG and then loading that into the Render Script.

    Alethion reacted to Olmeca_Gold in Nerf the BORG cube before it becomes every PvP ship in DU   
    Sleeker ships should be easier to miss with weapons. Just like in real world. The lower the lowest cross section dimension number of a ship is, the higher a chance of miss variable should be there for guns used against this ship in PvP.
     
    PS: Ofc in reality this is true only if the target ship faces the shooter from its sleek, narrow side. Perhaps NQ can implement it this way. If this is too costly to implement, the above idea still works.
     
    PS2: NQ can even implement the idea of "signature radius" from Eve. Cross sections X * Y * Z can be the signature radius. Large guns can miss small sig radius ships even if these ships are standing still (ofc they should give large ships their own advantages -currently close to none- before this.

    It's managed by aphelia, the ai of the Arkship. It's a fixed area with some km diameter
     
    There are no autominers. You have to scan for ore and Mine it yourself
     
    There are elements called territory claim units. Build it, place it and the land is yours (1 tile). You can then apply RDMS and define who can do what inside your territory. You can attach a protection bubble to the TCU which gives you a shield to prevent others from destroying and taking your stuff, but this shield will need fuel.
    Or, If you don't want to deal with that, stay in the safezone or the sanctuary moon - noone can attack you there, but you won't find valuable resources either.
     
    STATIC cores can be defended with automated guns (Low dmg, better to man them). DYNAMIC cores (ships) won't have that option.
     
    That's why there are orgs....and why you should socialize. 
    Is it unfair If someone has constructs knowledge? Knows how to fly Well? Knows tricks to play the market? No ofc not, everyone can learn it. Or get ppl together If you don't want to learn that stuff. Besides: the game automatically Sets Up standard lua scripts for everything so you don't need to know lua to play
     
    Yes, that's planned
     
    Well yes, that's the way it is.....
    Easy: get ppl together who can Take over If you're Not there. 
    Running a successful empire bis a 24/7 job. So either you play 24/7 or you get ppl together who split that time between themselves

    All right, this topic is going to be locked.
     
    Surprisingly all these "TheSlaxx" defenders are fresh new accounts.
    Apparently some think it's okay to create accounts just to try to strongharm Novaquark's decision, even if this was already discussed and explained in private many times.
    Making it public will NOT change Novaquark's decision. If someone opens another topic on TheSlaxx to try to change Novaquark's mind, expect your account to be banned permanently from the forum without further notice. We don't have time to waste on this topic anymore. This practice of coming back again and again on a decision made by Novaquark will only make the situation worse.
     
    TheSlaxx hasn't been banned for the shady practices regarding the Organizations.
    He has been banned for what he did after.
    "He has changed now" will never be a valid argument to rehabilitate him.
    If we make an exception for him, we will have to make exceptions for everyone else that has a toxic behavior. 
    That's not gonna happen.
     
    Best Regards,
    Nyzaltar.

    @fullsend - Then they simply should not buy it if they are not prepared....there is no use grumbling over it.
     
    You are not buying the game, they are asking you to support them them so they can make a great game.......and to thank you for your support you get perks and privileges from the Devs for your faith in their vision.
     
    Please don't get confused between entitlement because you bought access and a simple finalised game.
    The difference between them are big and the requirements to create it are very different.
    If you want to play instancing games or mini multiplayer games enjoy the selection you have at your fingertips.
     
    You also know that it is clearly stated that the game is under development and will not always be available in its development phases during pre-alpha, and alpha for longer interval sessions, eventually moving into full 24 hour in beta when most people will want to start taking part as most of the basics have been ironed out.
     
    Also you buy the supporter packs knowing all this......before hand so there should not really be any grumbling.....
     
    Disclaimer: you are joining a game that is under development. While you will be able to play and we hope you will enjoy the game, this is a real Pre-Alpha and as such, you must expect the following : The game servers are available once per week (Each test date & time is available at the top of the Dual Universe homepage) The Pre-Alpha phase is under strict NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). It means you cannot share footage of the game. There will be bugs, game crashes and the client isn't optimized for low specs computers. As we are in Pre-Alpha, not every gameplay feature (such as PvP and the Economy) is available in-game. You can check the homepage in order to see what is available now and what will come later. You can also check the community Trello for more information.

    Alethion reacted to Hades in Sapphire and up gets ALL of the patron pack?   
    NQ clearly outlined that alpha would not start out 24/7.  I didn’t even question that the servers weren’t up 24/7 when pre-alpha launched.  Once again, this was discussed many times before alpha due to the French labor laws.  
     
    If your goal is to simply play the game.  Do NOT buy into the pre-alpha access for sure.  Heck, if I were you... I would wait until the servers come up online 24/7 before even putting a cent down.  Since that seems to be your desire.  These packs are solely for people who believe in the vision of the game.  The patron pack is for those who wish to help NQ stress their servers so we can break stuff, and NQ can fix it.  Thus allowing us to get closer to the 24/7 servers.  
     
    There’s nothing wrong with taking a step back, and seeing how things shake out.  And if the game is in a state you can get behind... then you should hop on
     
    It’s also important to note that you get quite a bit with these packs.  12 DACs is equivalent to 12x15 euros?  So you’re not just buying early access.  You literally get the equivalent in game time.
     
    Addressed to all:
    I cannot be more abundantly clear than the following:  If you don’t wholeheartedly believe in a project... do NOT back it.  It’s best for both parties.  You don’t feel ripped off if things don’t go as planned, and the development team does not have to deal with unsatisfied backers.
     
    So many crowdfunded projects become a cluster fumble because backers expect more than is promised.  NQs promise is to do their damnedest to make the best space exploration/civilization/building/conflict MMO in existence.  Could the project completely fall apart for some reason?  Sure.  But when you look at the track record of NQ and the amount of heart and soul they’ve put into the community and the game itself... I don’t think that’s likely at this point
     
    In the end, I hope you stick around (whether or not you buy a package or not).  The community of DU is truly unprecedented in many areas.  And I’d say this is mainly because of the team behind it, they are responsible for cultivating this community.

    Alethion got a reaction from Lethys in Universal language: Beyond the emote   
    It would be good to have a context menu when in a party or team.... quick sound / (visual cues if the avatar does not disappear :-) ) it will help assist quick language cues/references.
     
    By universal language i though this was already defined by devs as being an english based game, referencing the business language used in the world today.
     
    Anyway that aside even If there is a language barrier it also opens up job roles for proxy/ trade or communication professionals, or those natural diplomats who like to be mediators or can speak/understand both sides.
     
    In summary, a vocal cue context menu would be good to have in certain situations. Parties or squads may only require simple actions and cues to issue and aknowledge or the activites or understood actions were simple and pre-agreed on.
     
    Chat boxes should be present or have separators or tabs for the types of chat (or something like it for: squad, Org / alliance, local area (5 hex tiles) and whisper chat.
     
    I think GLOBAL chat should be hidden bar server announcments, to encourage org communication to known what is happening outside and for the clever....well they could take advantage of this in the form of jobs or bulletins in game.
     
    VOIP it is a great option whilst not in game, discord is handling it nicely, in a round about sense. ie to chat you have to be in the same org and voice channel to chat....though to fix this simply have a communal or gathering area to go to. So to VOIP with someone you only have to meet up and invite them.
