Greetings adventurers! Hopefully I will have access to the beta after the next round of crowdfunding kicks in. Until then I will monitor what goes on here and with the official DU video's. As you can guess I'm from Australia so looking for other Australians to hang with. I've built in Second Life and was an industrialist in Eve Online. DU is the perfect combo of these two aspects for me. (Though need to learn Lua to bring my creations 'to life' ). I'm also running on Ubuntu Linux - so that will also be a goal of mine, getting DU running under Linux using WINE. So hit me up if any of the above sounds like we can work together.

A solution might be.... 1) larger objects have a larger 'radius of discovery'. For example a small frigate may only have a 20,000km radius around it. A planet might have a 1.1 au radius around it. 2) to be able to radar scan an object your ship needs to be within an objects/ships 'radius of discovery'. This would allow relative safe logoffs in space provided you dont logoff in the middle of a transport route. 3) cloaked ships dramitically reduce their own area of discovery when cloak is active.... but turns off when player logs out (maybe with a 10 min delay to account for unwanted disconnects.) Sound feasible?

Spaceships naturally have no gravity (well unless spinning or accelerating). I'm not in the pre - alpha to know how this is being handled in any ship that a person is not sitting in, i.e. big enough to walk around in. So I'm proposing gravity plating (maybe as a technology) that a builder places on any surface designed to be the 'ground' within the space vehicle. This will allow walking within an open area of a ship, as well as vertical 'transport tubes', which would be lined on all sides with gravity plating to create zero gravity within the tube. It may also help the dev team in linking avatars within a ship - last thing anyone wants is a ship to accelerate leaving all the non seated avatars floating in space.... or worse.... crushed against a bulkhead o.O Anyway, thats my 2c, hope Im not suggesting something that has already been suggested lol Cheers CoreVamore
