Hi everyone!
Here are a few clarifications on the topic:
 
- As a general rule, any information or content that has been published publicly by Novaquark can be considered as not under the NDA anymore. As we have started to communicate publicly about the tests schedule since the beginning of 2018, this is not under NDA anymore. I will make a quick post tomorrow in the appropriate section to be sure that everyone is aware of that.
 
- @Elkay: The reason why you may have had some "login problem" on the forum may be related to the fact that you activated your gold status recently. If that's the case, indeed, you weren't able to access the Pre-Alpha section on the forum, sending you back an error message. The problem is now fixed. If the problem was something else, please contact our customer support at support@novaquark.com
 
- @Elkay: For any problem, (log in or anything else), posting on the forum with an angry tone will never solve real problems. Contacting our customer support at support@novaquark.com and explaining in details what the issue is (which error message you get, when did you get it, etc) most likely will.
 
- @Elkay: regarding the time frame of the scheduled tests, as the explanation is in a forum section under NDA, I will re-post it there for information purpose.
 
Dual Universe is still in Pre-Alpha, meaning we are still in a phase where we are debugging/fixing a lot of things.
We do a few tests, then we fix things, then we another batch of tests and we continue to fix more things. Keep in mind that we aren't yet in a phase where you can log to play and have fun like in a nearly-finished game. If you want to log now, you should expect that this is to help the Novaquark team improving the game. If you are logging to have a fun experience, then we thorougly advise you to wait and come back when we will reach Beta, or at the very least Alpha.
 
Now, why the "weird" time frame schedule?
At the beginning, the goal was to have at least one test per month with hours fitting for every player.
If the time frame seems "crazy" for a test (during the night for instance or while you are at work), then it means this test wasn't originally meant for you but for other testers around the globe. However, if for some reason (if you are on holidays, or you can't sleep, and you really want to test the game) you are free to join at these odd hours, and you are more than welcome.
 
Please understand that, at least for the time being, don't expect a weekly test with hours fitting for every player. We are aware that this is one of the most pressing demand from the Pre-Alpha testers (more test sessions, longer test sessions) and that's among our priorities. However, as this involves not only server stability but also recruitment and special authorization (not so easy to obtain unless you are already an international company) to work overnight in countries like France, it may take some time. However, we are doing our best to find a solution for more (and longer) tests as soon as possible.

Hi Marcovitch,
 
From what we know, we have not heard of falling asteroids. Actually, all planets, moons and asteroids are supposed to be fixed as of now (they are like static constructs: not movable).
Game-play wise, moons are like planets. As neither planets, nor moons orbit, we can't even speak of "moons". But they are small and near a planet. More precise information is probably under NDA.
 
Regards,
Shadow.

If so, I deleted the comment.  I can also understand why it would be, as requirements change over time.  However, I do think it should be public knowledge what people are running the game on.  Not my call though, I can see why it would be considered game experience.
 
There’s a point and time where the NDA becomes too restrictive, and I just hope NQ doesn’t reach that point.  I’ve been away for a few months, but perusing it seems like things are on a tight leash.  Once again, not my call... but I wish they’d do things differently.

That a big and interesting project ,
I think this will help all the new explorers and provide them with some solid support and give a better launch them in dual universe .
 
happy to read you and follow your project and creation .

Hey,
 
- as you can see here, NQ already planned a bounty hunting system. (far below, it was a stretch goal). The exact mechanic isn't known yet.
- a contracting system will be most likely implemented, but IIRC there isn't an official statement about that. But if it won't get implemented via some game mechanic: you can do it yourself too - that's what DU is about: emergent gameplay. set up contracts yourself and get them done by other players. If they scam you or run with your cargo, hire mercs to get them.
But I agree, that such a basic system (ala here's my cargo, pay 5mil collateral now, you have 2 days to go from A to B, you get your collateral back and 400.000 extra) would be best if it was implemented from the start
- as for games inside DU: there's DICE. They want to do races, arena battles and other stuff.
Players have to build those houses, casinos and they even can script games inside of DU (possible blackjack too): see this video
 
I have no problem reading french but I just want to remind you that this forum is english based. It doesn't hurt anyone if you just let google translate your text and copy it in your post too, so others (who might not speak french) can read this too
