We know a bit about how exploration at an interstellar level is planned to be, so this doesn't really concern the mechanics of exploration so much as how that information is propagated... At some point, new planets and systems are going to have to make it into a galactic map for us, so this idea is more about how that would take place. I propose that in order for a new system or planet to show up on the galactic map, that someone has to actually go out to that planet or system and collect information about it somehow (a mechanic that doesn't exist yet). Then they have to fly back to the Arkship (without dying and losing said scan results) and upload that scan into the Arkship so that everyone globally can have access to that information. That way new planets and systems can remain somewhat secret to the discoverers, and it gives more value to those who are exploring deep space selling the location of planets and solar systems. But if someone goes out there they can choose to make it public by uploading that data to the Arkship for everyone to have access to.

Who here is attending the Montreal meetup in March? I'll be going, I was wondering if anyone wants to hang out beforehand 🙂

I used this site to teach myself, but it helps if you already know some programming: http://tylerneylon.com/a/learn-lua/

I understand that during the post-Kickstarter phase when Founders packs were available, it was generally discouraged to be gifting backer packages, however now that we have Supporter packs it would be really cool to have a built-in feature to allow us to gift pledges to others. I don't want to go into explaining how I've been able to gift pledges to others, suffice to say that it does not involve sharing passwords. However it's not really a straightforward way, and it's somewhat risky to be doing I'll admit. I did ask NQ whether or not what I was doing was allowed, and they did say that it was. So I know I'm not breaking any rules by doing it. So I suppose I will consider this thread as a request for us to have the native ability to gift pledges directly from the pledge page.

"Death" isn't implemented yet, so nobody really knows. From previous NQ comments, it sounds like anything in your inventory would be dropped when you die, but your constructs aren't going to simply disappear because you die. Perhaps there might be a "safe space" in your inventory, a small section of inventory that doesn't get dropped when you die, but I don't think anything has been said about that so it's just a guess at this point. Constructs are always in the world though, even when you log out. They're probably not going to vanish because you die, but you'll still have to make your way back to them (unless you have a respawn node on them or nearby). If I had to bet on it, I don't think you'll lose money when you die either. As far as skills go, that's anyone's guess at this point.

When you find the solution to something that has underpinned all conversations online since the dawn of the internet please let us know.

Yes, you will get the full game. The pledges come with "DAC's" which can be used to pay for the subscription after release (There is no subscription fee during Alpha/Beta). The game will be "free" with a monthly subscription fee. The roadmap for releases can be seen here: https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/08/08/release-roadmap-alpha-launch-announcement/ Though there are no exact dates given.

Soon

Not everyone is getting day 1 alpha 1 access. Instead, access is being opened slowly by backer tier. On the 29th (today) Sponsor Supporters will get access, it is likely (but not guaranteed) that on the 6th of December that Silver founders will get access, but that also depends on when you bought your Kickstarter pack. Were you backer #100 or backer #5000, basically. So there is no download link available right now for you, but you will be getting an email probably in the next 1-3 weeks notifying you that your access is ready. Don't worry, it will be here before you know it.

I put together the audio fx and this video to create a rough version of my idea of what a sandstorm in Dual Universe at a spaceport in the desert would be like, alarms blaring for people to take cover, departures and landings restricted by the port authority, visibility extremely limited...
