    Waffle Boy got a reaction from Elitez in A complete guide to the upcoming future discussion of DU. An eminent wipe is up in the air.   
    If a wipe happens tomorrow.  I'll be getting all 200 of my alts to do missions and within weeks I will have billions more than the average player, again.  Then you will go back to complaining.

    Not a problem, always going ng to be the rich and the poor.
     
    may take a little time to get a ship that can run 200 missions from scratch though, and I feel sorry for you having to cycle through that many toons!

    Waffle Boy reacted to RugesV in Safe & Freight Engines need a buff   
    Wait people are actually making and buying freight engines?  I was joking with a friend the other day I doubt any of them have ever been made.  They are pointless.  They have the same thrust as non military. The same fuel consumption as non military.  All other states are identical with the exception of slight variations in resistances. Except fright engines have 4x the warm up of the others (maneuvers are far superior in this department).  Basically why would you ever use a freight engine instead of a maneuver engine.  They even cost the same to produce each type. 
     
    And sure lets go ahead and talk about the Uncommon/Advanced/Rare variants.  I swear someone who does not play DU, or even play video games created these numbers.  I mean how do you go for 64s warmup for uncommon, 128s warmup for advanced,  256s warmup for rare.  I mean the only way this could have happened was someone just dumped numbers into it thinking bigger number is better without knowing what that number actually did.  Granted rates do have a better fuel savings then rares. But the fuel savings does not warrant the warmup penalty when all the other stats are the exact same as a maneuver engine and they cost the same (Except resistances). 
     
    Proposed first round balance changes:
    Safe and freight engine schematic cost should be halved.  Safe engine parts requirements should be reduced by 25%. Freight engine parts requirements should be reduced by 50%. 
    Freight engines thrust should be increased to to that of military variants (16% increase) Safe engines  thrust should be increased 8%.  Freight engines warmup time should be 128s for normal down to 64s for rare. 
     
    This would leave military engines as king of thrust with a good warmup. just poor fuel consumption. And Maneuver engines with a standard thrust but superior warmup and good fuel economy.
     
    And this would give you 4 classes of engines.
    Freight Engines.  Cheap, Strong thrust for those heavy loads, but slow to react. 
    Safe Engines.  Does nothing special, but does not do anything bad. 
    Maneuver Engines.  Reacts quickly, good on fuel, average thrust. 
    Military Engines.  Strong thrust, Good reaction, poor fuel.

    Some of you may have seen our recent PvP trailer featured in IGN’s ‘Summer of Gaming’ event that showcased our vision of combat in Dual Universe. Some of our more seasoned community members might have recognized one of the ships featured in the trailer. We’d love to take the time now to thank voxelmancer extraordinaire Onethousandstars for creating his ship, The Naga, which was used in some of the trailer’s action-packed scenes.

    Actually by doing this, it can help new members decide what organizations to join.  Who would want to join a 1000 man org with no activity?

    Waffle Boy got a reaction from Beddhead in Organization count legitimacy   
    We need a different metric where organizations can prove themselves.  The current method we have up has bad incentives thus leading to alt accounts.
     
    If organizations could be measured in terms of quanta or resources then it would actually be something that could be respected and not be cheated.
     
    Simple, change the metrics~!  I know this is something they mentioned in the past, we just need group banks, group core units or something of the sort.

    Why do you as an org object to a game mechanic which was known to come at the time you backed the game? I am genuinely asking this question as I do not understand why you choose to be here when you seem to not like a component of the game with a vengeance and go out of your way to let everyone know consistently.
     
    Do you also eat at a restaurant advertising food you do not like and then complain you are forced to eat food you do not like?

    Looking back at the community and the way its members came, went and changed is a weird hobby. Looking back at Novaquark and the way they changed along their own game is even weirder.

    Waffle Boy reacted to Firestorm in Dark Star Imperium - Opportunity Awaits   
    Veteran owned and operated, politically incorrect and pro free speech, memelords extraordinaire, The Dark Star Imperium is a meritocratic empire. Meritocratic means is that if you put in the effort, you WILL advance in the ranks as we are a community built on teamwork. Strength that is defined by each member’s ability to work for the common goal as a group whilst also maintaining independence, autonomy, resourcefulness and honing their individual skill. Those who would take the time and effort to help others no matter the cause, that is what it is to be a part of a community / a family and not just some "Org". We specialize in faction PvP, engineering, and tech with all sections having countless veteran players across many similar games and Sci-Fi themed clans. However, we employ players of all playstyles such as Industrialists, Designers, Engineers, Merchants, Economists and even those who are more casual or love meta gaming. Our philosophy on all aspects is going above and beyond the competition by overwhelming levels. Strength not just in numbers, but in skill. Engineering feats not just in usefulness but with complexity. 
     
    Since our arrival in Dual Universe we've strived to set the bar high in many aspects of the community. In doing so we've gained friends, made enemies and even achieved the emulation of those mimicking practices we've begun. We've faced skepticism, drama and even attacks on our community yet here we are despite it all proving our endurance and resolve. We always put our members and community first, we expect the best, and we give the best. Service guarantees citizenship!

Anyways have a good day and best of luck!
