Dear all
 
Heard about this Dual Universe and it certainly sound very promising.
And congratulation on reaching its Kick starter milestone.
 
I am a designer, an architect and have designed, managed and built several airports in the world. What excites me is in D U, you may have the chance to build something and also to explore the universe. Coming from a background of SciFi lover, I grew up having been inspired by all these great movies/TVs such as Babylon 5, Star Trek , Stargate and Star Wars worlds. And also experienced the virtual world of gaming in Elite Frontier and Freelancer.
 
I've jump into Eve online hoping to experience these. Unfortunately, I have had good and bad experiences. It contained 'cliff-like' learning curve, 'big fish eat small fish' world of trying to survive in this sandbox universe, not a great place for newbie/explorer as you said. The concepts was great, but it has grown so huge.................
I'm worried D U is going to adopt the same 'players run universe'.
How will they address this in D U? When it grows larger and larger, we will see lawlessness, freeworld, privateers - see what's happening over in Eve now.
Perhaps I may be naive ...........I can only hope D U will be develop into something better for all of us explorers.
 
Yours truly

The Outfit will be hosting an open game night on our Empryion server.  IP address is 85.190.157.205:22700
 
If you are interested in joining us it will be Friday from 9PM to at least 3:am (MST).  please PM one of us to get the PW to the server.  Hope to see some of you there.

Looks good Dhara!  

We are The Outfit!
 
We are The Outfit! - DU's First and Oldest Space Trucking Organization.

We are a small group of outcasts including, traders, smugglers, merchants, rogues and like-minded entrepreneurs. Some might even call us pirates from time to time. But those are their words, not ours!! Mostly we just take the jobs we can get and we do what we have to do to survive. We WILL make a name for ourselves in this strange new sector of space in which we all find ourselves stranded.
 
And we are currently recruiting!
 
The Crew:
 
We are going to build a strong fleet of ships and are in need of dedicated players who are interested in participating in PVP related game play to assist in our transportation services and related PVP activities.
 
If interested, you can learn more on our website:  https://dualtheoutfit.com/the-crew/
 
 
Settlers:
 
The Outfit is not just a crew of people looking to make a living off our our trade skills and our fleet though! We are also looking for a few brave players who are interested in staking a claim with us in this brand new Universe.
 
The benefits will be numerous.
 
If interested, visit Our Settlers page for all of the details.

Freelancers:
 
For those who would like an even more casual relationship, these new positions might be just the right fit! Freelancers deliver customer shipments, run security, or mine for us on a contractual basis.

So I'm going to spend hours upon hours in character customization. NQ better allow me to access the character customization at least 3 hours before launch. Otherwise, I'm going to get a late start.

CVC MUST happen!  I think this is a critical element of the game and am actually surprised it is a stretch goal.

Otherwise:

1. Third person viewpoint
2. Survival elements (Farming, hunting, cooking - food for buffs, etc.)
3. Character customization (outfits, hair, skin tones, etc.)
4. Ability to customize signage, logos/names for our ships, etc.
5. Moving parts: joints, rotors and pistons
6. Decorative props - preferably individual pieces that allow us to build our own props in game would be best (for instance, don't give us an entire lamp post.  Give us the individual pieces of a lamp post so we can build many different props out of those parts).
7. Weather
 
Not sure these are in the exact order of importance because the first few are pretty much of equal importance to me.

Howdy Outfit members!  We are having our first meeting.  Not all of you have signed up at our website yet, so I wanted to make sure you could read it here too.  

We will be having two separate meetings in order to try to accommodate as many members' time-zones as possible.  You can attend one, or both.  But regardless, it will go over the same topics.  

Meeting #1
Wed Oct 12th 9:00pm - 10:30pm MST

Meeting #2
Thu Oct 13th 7:00am - 8:30am MST

More details are available on our events  calendar and on our private member forums. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions and I hope to see you all there!

I will rephrase my question:  
 
How many square kilometers is a territory tile?
A ) 1 km2
B ) 0.5 km2 (short diameter is 1 km)
C ) 0.62 km2 (long diameter is 1 km)
D ) 2.5 km2 (edge is 1 km)

Congratulations NQ. You deserve it. It was a close call, too. From around 12K Euros a day up until we had only 4 days remaining, we shot from 460K Euros to 500K Euros in a single day!  Hurraaaayyy sprinkles confetti whoop whooop!!!!

Oky doky, whatever you say.
Since you're clearly just trying to get attention i'm going to stop giving it to you.

Update #18 on the KS page. Talks about character creation and progression.
 
Best part(rest was good to though) was this: Outfit upgrades are things like better armor, a better jetpack (yes, jetpack!),
 
Seriously though I mean if I hadn't already would have pledged based on that alone.  Not sure why sure I'm so hyped about jetpacks but i am, and I'm not sorry about it.

I noticed that they already have a female model in there, good now they dont have to deal with people bitchin about that for ages  And damn it looks so good, so shiny 

Offering a critique on the promotional video is hardly the same as appearing out of no where and calling people liars and demanding they prove something to you

Im just wondering where everyone was when other members did this exact thing, threatening to rescind their pledge if NQ didnt make DAC's loot able. That one got an official post requesting our views on DACs from NQ, but this members first post on his questions and doubts was for the most part ignored

4 days till the end of KS campaign and you release this (can't call it otherwise) crap?

Come on, you can be better than this! I've withdrawn my money from KS, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't be backing the game up again, but I need to be convinced! I need to feel that you know what you are doing, but I can't see it at the moment. You show a video of three people building a spacecraft...great idea and all, but one person built like two lines of voxels (how sophisticated...sigh) and other two added pre-made elements. If this is what the engine currently allows for, it's just even worse than Landmark before 2014...
 
Either do not show such vidoes or show some really good stuff - people creating cities or bigger, more complex ships made of more complex voxel shapes, because at the moment it just looks simplistic. In other words - bad marketing from your side...
 
Kind regards,
H.

They should have built a different type of ship. Variety is the spice of life!

I like the billboatd idea. Probably make a few of them.  But if implemented I'd suggest putting some limits on how many can be placed within a certain area. 
 
I played second life for a while and finally quit because the game became so ugly and annoying I couldn't stand to be there.  Mostly it was the griefers who would buy up land next to yours and line the perimeter with offensive or annoying billboard ads.  Mainly they just wanted your land.  Might not be that big of an issue in this game as we players could take those out ourselves, unless of course it happens in a safe zone.
 
I DO hope that we can have small signs for our shops and diisplay logos and names for our ships. I can already see the little marketplace I want to build and it will need a lot of signs to give it the look I want.  Implementing a simple sign prop or two where we can put in text in a couple different cool fonts might take care of most of that though.

There will be like 1300 tiles to claim. Enough for the start and I will definitely take one and forbid anyone on it then leave to another planet. I will see if I do something with it or just sell it after 5 years

Interested. On another note, consider having a part of it go beyond the safe zone. Perhaps for the more seedier or risky types.
 
Or a "slums section".

Great job! it was certainly worth the wait. -Liked-

HAHAHA

hilarious. That was fun, can't wait to see more.

A wonderful piece of art and entertainment. I look forward to seeing more of your comics. Keep up the good work, Outfit--we wish you the best.

I don't understand why anyone thinks this is a problem.  from the looks of it and what NQ has told us so far.
 
1) you build it and the game auto scripts everything to work in a basic manner.
2) combat is lock and fire.
 
So I would assume that if I built a small single player ship with multiple turret weapons, and I lock and hit fire, they are all going to fire at my locked on target, if they all have lines of fire to that target.  Why do I need a custom script to do this?

Good day, I am new as well.

Sure, that should be an option. Either "Go Home" or "Nearest Node" upon death.
 
But no more options, cause Resurrection Nodes will end up being teleporters.
 
Although, the possibility of an RN used as a prison portal upon death can still be utilised, but it should take massive resources to pull it off, like, having a quantum scrambler in the area, blocking long-distance quantum induced trasnportation (what the RN does in the lore) and have people that invade your system to have the possibility of being taken as POWs.
 
That will make pirates afraid of going near civilisation for sure as well, keeping them in their place in dark space, where they should be residing to begin with
