Dear Noveans, Thank you for your patience while our team was fixing the server issues we had recently. Now that the server is back up and stable again, we've got some exciting news for you! We are thrilled to announce myDU, the standalone version of Dual Universe! With the myDU client, you will be able to host your own Dual Universe server and/or connect to other players’ private servers. This version of myDU will give you the freedom to play Dual Universe without a subscription. When creating or administrating a myDU server, you will be able to: Grant yourself unlimited resources Disable PvP or create a full PvP server Choose to play solo or with a select group of friends Please Note: While myDU will provide full access to Dual Universe, it does not include access to the Novaquark MMO server! You’ll need a subscription to continue to play on the Novaquark MMO server of Dual Universe. The standalone version will be available in the coming weeks. (We are currently anticipating a mid-August release timeframe.) We can’t wait to see you play myDU!

Great news dear Kickstarter Backers: now that Silver packages have been shipped, all of the other Kickstarter packages, from Gold to Kyrium, are ready to arrive at your doorsteps! We are very excited to announce that the production of the Kickstarter rewards that so many have been waiting for is now 100% complete. Take a look at a couple of them below: This image was used in a previous Kickstarter announcement, but it’s so cool, we couldn’t resist sharing it again! These items are now in the hands of the shipping company called Clic Logistic, which is located in France. This means that rewards that are shipped outside of the France region as well as Europe, may take some extra time for various reasons (location, customs, local shipping) and you can expect that it might take additional time for those parcels to get to the appropriate destinations. As the shipping is being done by the company mentioned above, we have limited information concerning questions regarding the rewards being sent out (tracking, ship date, etc.). As always, you can reach out to us via our support page and we’ll do our best to assist you. We know it has been an extended time of waiting for the Kickstarter rewards to be sent out. Thank you for your patience and we sincerely apologize for the delay. It is our absolute pleasure to be able to tell you this news today. Your contribution to Dual Universe is invaluable, and we can't thank you enough. This game wouldn't exist without your support and we are looking forward to seeing images of the items when they arrive at your doorstep (or wherever you collect the packages)!

Dear Noveans, We're excited to announce that the mesh exporter for Dual Universe is now live! This tool enables you to transform your Dual Universe creations into 3D files to save or print in 3D. You can then print your models directly or employ a 3D printing service of your choice. Please note, however, that models might require some adjustments post-export to be print-ready. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: The exporter is limited to core blueprints only. Access it via the Dual Universe website here. After logging in with your DU account, you'll find an inventory of your core blueprints, each accompanied by a "GENERATE" button. Clicking this button initiates the generation job, which you can monitor in the My Models column. Upon completion, a download button will appear, allowing you to download the .stl file. To manage system load, we've implemented a quota system. Each user is allowed up to 5 pending jobs and a maximum of 50 total jobs per day. Check out some examples of models already exported through this feature to see the possibilities for your prints: DU MESH EXPORTER FAQ Q. I don’t have a 3D printer, how can I get my construct printed? A. 3D printing has become quite popular, you can ask friends if they have a printer you can use for it or you can search for 3D printing companies to use for your exports. Q. I’m having trouble with printing out my construct, can you help? A. Due to the nature of constructs being very complex and designed differently, you may need to do some trial and error to get the print outs just as you would like them. We are not able to provide support for this. Q. I don’t want my construct to be printed by others, is it protected? A. You will only be able to export core blueprints that exist in your nanopack. Q. How do I export my constructs with the DU Mesh Exporter? A. Go to https://meshexporter.dualuniverse.game/ and you will be able to export your constructs from there. You must be signed into your account in order to export. Q. I’m new to 3D printing and I don’t really understand these files or what to do with them, what can I do? A. If you are not technical or new to 3D printing, it can be quite a learning curve. We recommend web searching and asking your fellow Noveans who may already know the ins and outs of 3D printing and what you need to do to get started. Have a great day, Noveans!

Hello Noveans, Major changes are coming to PvP in Dual Universe with the 1.4 update! We've engaged in numerous productive discussions both with members of our PvP community as well as internally. The balancing changes being introduced to PvP are a result of these conversations. Before delving into the specifics, let's discuss the reasoning behind these changes. In the early days of our beta, we started without shields, leading to a majority of PvP being fought in large cubic ships, which were generally less aesthetically pleasing. Our goal was to cultivate a space where players could transition from using thick voxel layers, leading us to introduce shields into the game for the first time about two years ago with the 0.26 Apollo update. Shields quickly became an essential aspect of PvP combat. Consequently, ships rapidly evolved from having vast voxel quantities to featuring sleek designs with minimal voxels, presenting smaller targets and evading most incoming damage. This led to the inverse of the cube situation, with ships built into long sticks, sometimes devoid of voxels entirely. In several previous updates, we have tried to strike a balance, providing players a reason to own ships that are not just cubes or sticks, but amazing constructs of beauty and lethality with your own personal style! With the 1.4 update, we've revisited many aspects and made changes you’ll want to know: We have revamped the hit-and-miss formulas used in the back end. Shields are less likely to serve as huge one-time batteries and will function more like periodic protection. The venting cycles are shorter and more frequent, allowing you to vent more often but for smaller amounts. Weapon Tracking has also undergone significant change, damage evasion is now a trait more likely to benefit smaller, swiftly moving and highly maneuverable ships, while larger ships have access to more potent stasis weapons to combat smaller ships. Honeycomb now has approximately twice as many hit points, enhancing its importance for tanking while your shields are being vented. Hoverseats and Cockpits now have a higher fitting capacity, enabling you to equip more weapons or a larger radar. We hope these changes will enhance PvP enjoyment for everyone. To help you better prepare for the update, here is a complete list of all PvP changes coming to Dual Universe in the 1.4 update, though please note that these updates are still subject to change: Weapons Cannon XS Damage has decreased from 7000 to 6500 Optimal tracking has decreased from 10 to 2.75 Falloff tracking has decreased from 10 to 8.25 Cannon S Damage has increased from 12950 to 13000

We hope that this preview of the PvP changelog has armed you with the information you need to prepare for update 1.4, and look forward to seeing your new warships after the update! -The Novaqark Team

Hello, Noveans! Update 1.4 is just days away, and we’re excited for you to experience the new PvE feature, where you'll battle against mysterious foes emerging from an unknown gravitational signature on the system's outskirts. As you fight to counter this sudden onslaught, you'll also buy time for scientists to identify the threat. The update’s narrative will progressively unlock through server-wide milestones as you complete combat missions. But how can you prepare to engage with this feature on day one? We’re writing to share some information to assist you. First, how can you take missions? You’ll discover a new tab in your missions overview (F8) labeled Alien Warfare. From here, you can choose the difficulty tier you’d like to tackle, specify the planet near which your mission will commence, see the restrictions (more on that below), accept your mission, and review the narrative as it unlocks! Remember, there is no collateral needed for combat missions; you can take them on for free. Once the mission is accepted, you can navigate to the mission entry portal, and when in proximity, click the button to teleport you, your passengers, and your ship to the mission site. Should you wish to abort a mission, navigate to the beacon within the mission site and press the teleport button again in your mission interface (F8). If, for any reason, you can’t find the beacon, you can also set your waypoint there from the mission menu. There are restrictions on what you can bring into each mission Tier Forbidden in all Tiers: Resurrection nodes Surrogate Pods Surrogate Stations Repair Units Warp Drives Core Units (Your ship’s Core Unit doesn’t count, but you can’t bring any additional cores into the mission, such as undeployed ones in your inventory.) Very Easy Missions: Reward: 260,000 quanta Max Mass: 50t Time Limit: 15 minutes Max Crew: 2 Maximum Ship Core Size: Extra Small Forbidden Items: Small, Medium, and Large Shields; Small, Medium, and Large Weapons Easy Missions: Reward: 900,000 quanta Max Mass: 150t Time Limit: 25 minutes Max Crew: 3 Maximum Ship Core Size: Small Forbidden Items: Medium and Large Shields; Medium and Large Weapons Medium Missions: Reward: 2,500,000 quanta Max Mass: 400t Time Limit: 30 minutes Max Crew: 4 Maximum Ship Core Size: Medium Forbidden Items: Large Shields; Large Weapons Hard Missions: Reward: 5,000,000 quanta Max Mass: 1500t Time Limit: 40 minutes Max Crew: 5 Very Hard Missions: Reward: 7,000,000 quanta Max Mass: 2000t Time Limit: 50 minutes Max Crew: 6 Tips on Completing Missions The objective of the missions is to eliminate enemy forces that spawn within the time limit. You can monitor mission progress and remaining time here: Bear in mind that enemy weapons will target you upon entry and are accurate. They will spawn and remain relatively close to you, and they will maintain range with your ship should you decide to kite. We recommend equipping your vessel with potent close-range weapons and the highest tier of shield you can afford. You might also find it beneficial to vent your shields periodically when there's a lull in the combat. Experimenting with ammunition types and shield resistance settings will help you find your most effective setup. While the standard piloting controls will work, you could explore player-made piloting and combat Lua control programs. These can enhance your effectiveness and ease your engagement with the enemy. DU Creators, a player-run website and Discord server, is a great place to start looking for new ships, buildings, and Lua scripts. However, if you don’t want to use custom Lua scripts, the game’s regular controls are still effective, especially with the use of the Tactical Map: Lastly, consider planning your logistics. Mission portals will spawn near the planet you designate, and you’ll need to fly to it and return to resupply after the mission. Would a static ground base, an orbital station, or a larger carrier ship minimize the time you spend between missions rearming, refueling, and repairing? The choices are yours to experiment with. Update 1.4 is launching on the 20th of June 2023. Servers will go down at 08:00 UTC, and we aim to reopen them at 12:00 UTC. Prepare for a fight, Noveans!

Save the date, Noveans: Dual Universe 1.4 is landing June 20th! PvE Combat missions: Earn quanta while playing with friends or solo by completing combat missions against NPCs invading Helios.

Greetings, Noveans! This is NQ-Ligo again. We’ve heard your questions on script compatibility since announcing the Lua changes coming in update 1.4. I’m writing to share more information to enable you to better prepare for the update. There's only one change that we haven't been able to make compatible with existing scripts. For everything else, a compatibility layer has been added, there is no need to worry about that! The "breaking" change is the Boolean type fix. For a long time, functions that were supposed to return a Boolean, such as unit.isRemoteControlled, returned an integer (0 or 1). It took a while to correct, but from now on, these functions will return a Boolean (true or false). However, functions requiring a Boolean argument will continue to support integers in addition to Booleans. To assist you, here's an exhaustive list of EXISTING functions that currently return an integer and will now return a Boolean: unit.hasDRM unit.isRemoteControlled unit.isMouseControlActivated unit.isMouseDirectControlActivated unit.isMouseVirtualJoystickActivated unit.isAnyLandingGearDeployed unit.isAnyHeadlightSwitchedOn databank.hasKey databank.clearValue transponder.isActive transponder.setTags shield.getState shield.setResistances shield.inLockdown shield.isActive shield.startVenting shield.stopVenting shield.isVenting shield.setLockdownExitTime door.isOpen forcefield.isDeployed forcefield.setMaxLength landingGear.isDeployed light.isActive light.isBlinking weapon.isOutOfAmmo adjustor.isActive adjustor.setTags adjustor.isIgnoringTags brake.isActive brake.setTags brake.isIgnoringTags airfoil.isStalled airfoil.setTags airfoil.isIgnoringTags engine.isActive engine.isTorqueEnabled engine.isOutOfFuel engine.hasFunctionalFuelTank engine.setTags engine.isIgnoringTags antiGravityGenerator.isActive receiver.hasChannel receiver.setChannelList core.isEngineIgnoringTagsById core.deleteSticker core.moveSticker screen.isActive screen.getMouseState gyro.isActive laserDetector.isHit laserEmitter.isActive manualButton.isDown manualSwitch.isActive manualSwitch.isDown radar.setSortMethod radar.isConstructIdentified radar.isConstructAbandoned radar.hasMatchingTransponder construct.isWarping construct.isInPvPZone construct.isPlayerBoarded construct.isPlayerBoardedInVRStation construct.isConstructDocked construct.setDockingMode construct.dock construct.undock construct.forceDeboard construct.forceUndock construct.forceInterruptVRSession player.isSeated player.isParentedTo player.isSprinting player.isJetpackOn player.isHeadlightOn player.isFrozen player.hasDRMAutorization system.destroyWidgetPanel system.destroyWidget system.destroyData system.updateData system.addDataToWidget system.removeDataFromWidget system.isFirstPerson system.isViewLocked system.isPlayingSound As for other changes, such as the JSON library change, we've made sure to maintain compatibility with your existing scripts, either by making added arguments optional (thanks to the implementation of the nil type in our API), or by adding derivations. However, in the future, I recommend including the "json.lua" library instead of "dkjson.lua" to avoid using the compatibility layer if you want to optimize your script. As with every update, we'll also be pushing an updated Lua API mockup on the game's official GitHub. We hope this helps you better prepare for the upcoming Lua changes in update 1.4! Happy coding, Noveans! NQ-Ligo

Greetings, Noveans! Every gamer is unique, each boasting their own preferred playstyle, control setup, and comfort zones. Your game controls should reflect this individuality. That's why our Input Remapping Upgrades, coming soon in Update 1.4, are designed to give you more control - literally and figuratively. Dual Universe hosts numerous controls, many of which have been hidden from players. Our Input Remapping Upgrades will vastly expand the game's control settings, making these hidden controls visible and customizable. You can rebind them to your preferred keys… including those on gamepads and joysticks! Both systems are now correctly supported. For instance, you can bind specific controls to the axis turn of a joystick. In addition, we've introduced many new controls, allowing you to personalize your settings with intricate detail. If you’re a player who enjoys crafting your control schemes, you’ll find these new options on our control settings page. This is just the beginning, Noveans. We’re already working on introducing more features to Input Remapping in the future, such as the ability to import and export control profiles to the server, allowing for seamless importing into applications like GeForce Now. We also aim for more direct Lua integration in future versions. These changes are designed to empower you and make Dual Universe more accessible by supporting gamepads, joysticks, and more. Whether you plan to intricately craft your control schemes or simply enjoy flying across Helios with a HOTAS system, we hope you’ll have a great time with the Input Remapping Upgrades in Update 1.4.
