There wont be any NPCs in DU- only market bots.

Signal Cartel will do what we do best, be service oriented, neutral explorers and investigators while following a non aggression credo. We will be around and provide services, information and support  through a number of programs which will be developed when the game loop is complete. 
 
Signaleers are nomads, we roam and travel, often alone but sometimes in teams, to do what we do. The initial plans are to create a mobile base of operations for the core group managing the org which will travel the stars, find and explore strange new things and share what we discover with those willing to listen.
 
SIgnal Cartel has been successful in creating a counter culture in EVE Online where our reputation and Credo often shields us from harm or aggression. It is our intention to do the same in Dual Universe. We're proud to be able to say 'Reputation Tank is Best Tank'  

Were just a buff crew tbh....

Since i couldnt't find any happy new year thread in here ...
 

 
 
Surely we all have an interesting, hopefully funny, sometimes maybe exhausting, somtimes enlightening year behind us. Regarding the development of the game ... and maybe even regarding the developmet of ourselves.
 
May the new you year fulfill all the promises of earlier years ... and those we didn't even dare to dream of yet.
 
2018, here you go, it's your chance to do it right!
 
And ours of course.  
 
 

So this was a project i started in Landmark right at the end of Beta.  I was going to get back to it eventually after the last wipe but never got around to it.
 
It was meant to be a sort of Scifi condo that would be part of a modern city in a hostile icy environment.  I know weirdly specific.

Lol, you guys!
 

on point 3 it means there is likely to be an architectural clusterfeck compared to pre-DU systems
 
On point 4 you can easily isolate en-mass. There is nothing stopping a group of say 100+ people from building a 'hidden' outpost somewhere so you get isolation plus social game. They are not mutually exclusive.

*holds her tight* I love you Alioth-chan, but I need to mine you for minerals. I'm sorry
 
 

The issue when adding KDR or Killboards like in EVE, is you encourage PvP in the whole game. That involves attacking miners, for no other reason than "stat padding".

EVE has an official means of measuring how good a pilot is, and it's in the form of killmarks. A ship gets a "notch" on its hull as a decoration, for every kill it makes, on a base 10 system. That's an actually cool way of keeping track of how many kills a ship has, since those ships have a reputation and are sold for a lot of in-game money. And no, you can't just "grind" the killmarks by farming cheap ships, no enthusiast who will pay the equivalent of 1000 USD of in-game money for a 200 killmark ship, will be dumb enough to not check if the person selling it is an actually known PvPer. If you got a 200 killmark ship and you are a nobody, it screams "scam". And no, Killmarks do not add any stat boost to the ship, it's purely a cosmetic thing you can only earn through PvP.

The innate problem with "KDR" or any stat based "proof of not sucking" does not take into account Economic Warfare. Tell me how do you gage how good a trader is on his endeavors and how good a smuggler is at ruining a cartel's monopoly? It can't, hence "if you play trader, you play the game wrong" or "if you play miner, you are just farm" as many "High Isk Efficiency" apes in EVE would have you believe.

The moment KDR is added into the game, the game becomes all about "kill anything on sight, or you suck". Most toxic communities revolve around games with KDR. And if DU adds KDR, kiss the Medic, Engineer and all other support roles goodbye.

The current day 20-30 years old player, is a person who was raised in League of Cancer. I played Support role in League of Clamydia for 4 years, going Diamond along the way. I have seen the mentality of ADCs who "I play only Carry, cause support is for [Insert Homophobic Slur here] ". And the same goes down in EVE Online with its Killboard. NOBODY wants to play logistics (healer). They are like the most pampered players on a whole coalition, since they are so rare. 

Do we really want DU to have the same problem with only "top guns" and "super soldiers" and "I only fly Battleships, kthnxbai" people?
 
Just saying. There are far better ways to measure people's worth than a Scoreboard.

Hey everybody! so I'm new around these parts...
Thought i'd share some animated forum signature banners that I threw together (in other words I was extremely bored and am impatiently waiting for the alpha  )
 

 

 

 

 

 
Edit: Had some people asking if they need to credit me if they use these banners... the answer is no since most of the content in the banners is already novaquark copyright... so just handle it how you would if it was from novaquark.

Hi hdparm
 
I had seen that vid before but didn't have a good look at the engineers report - so slowed down the video this time and it does indeed look like the leverage effect is in use - which is great!
 
Cant wait to get in-game to try out my ship crafting abilities
 
Cheers

You have to wait till the new supporter packs become available - hopefully soon. Im sure it will be announced on the main page of the DU website.
 
If you sign up for notifications Im sure they will let you know there too

I think you are confusing capital ship with command ship. And calling each size of ship as a capital is just silly. May as well just call them a ship.
 
All i want to see in a ship description is crew compliment, mass, dynamic characteristics, weapons and defence systems.
 
I dont care what its classified as, the ship will be used as its owner sees fit. Which tends to make this thread redundant.

So I finally switched to only showing organization with at least 4 members. Grabbing the top ~330 organization was starting to get unwieldy.
