Ohhh that's a difficult question. Well generally the ingame economy will always be in flux. And if you had experiences with other games you can guess what to expect on inflation and deflation to an extend. - that at some point the devs wont churn in new fresh ingame coin like an EU/ USA money press So you can expect the ingame coin to become more worth, the longer the game goes on. As the total amount of circulated coin deacreases~ I can't say more without going into NDA covered aspects ;3.

Well if you're like rocket... then your atleast a partial android or mech enhanced cat, that is genetical enginered from the original cats dna pool. But hello SirCat SpaceCat~ We might need to upgrade the robot check ... and add an andorid check layer ... and an animal with intelligence check layer too. Next we see billion ants working as one entity.

There's some really neat architecture here in this post. And alot of weird ones :3. Really we need someone to make a timeframe motion video of the Ark Area ... when the game realeses. Day by Day for a year or so. Just takeing screenshots from the same spot ... welp. Now i am gonna do this probably.

Shiori explained it the best. But timewise ... do mind we don't know how long it takes for a solo player to get everything together for a basic spaceship with possible ftl capacity. It might be a bit longer then a few weeks, as that is closer to the "endgame" level of tech probably. Not that there's an endgame, as it's open ended.

Well as stated. Corps probably will add their logos onto ships. Or you can have an LUA code shout out something to anyone in listeing range, if they ad VOIP or proximity chat systems. That's pretty generic stuff for which the devs wont need to programm anything at all. Outside of giving us said VOIP or chat systems. Aside from that? Spam chat and hope that pirates won't come flocking to "neutral" ships? -- In a game called screeps. We made our minions sing when razeing someone elses bases down to the ground. Or even dance on his borders ... And there was even a guy that used chat commands for trade and stuff, till he got robbed. And another that use a rock paper scissor chat programm with friends, to decide who get's rescources that are closeby. Programming languages are really versatile :3.

I had a good laugh at this. Actually. ANY moment ingame you travel in time. As no user is 100% synched the same with all other users and actions that have been done in the timeframe you observed. So technically, any mmorpg you play is a "time maschiene". Actually makeing this ingame based on speeds, you probably will experience a LARGER dilution in that desynch value. As when player A and B run at each other with max speed. Both will be desynched larger from each other then player C that travels alongside B ... but with half the speed. For Player C it will look like A and B will hit each other straight on. While minuscle changes actualy make them scitter past each other by a small margin. Confusing Player C grandiously. Or simply said ... lag. So you want the game to lag more then it might do with it's technical limitations, if you fly fast? That's a first i heard anyone ask for that.

I hope we can get some damage reports after fights, that are really basic. But if you don't make it yourself in LUA i doubt it. As it does nothing extra worthwhile for the game atm and takes up development time. + Everyone can make their own kill info statistics with LUA. Just get the info from the enemy ship, while you shot it to an pulp. And print it out afterwards in neat info hashes. Atleast i hope that will be possible later on with LUA :3. As i want to see the enemys status on my deck.

:3 get a room you two. Try to focus on the topic. Survival mechanics MIGHT be added in some form. But more like a deteration factor for people to build extrem deep underground bases. We might get "food" and "water" too. But anything on that is speculation and or rumors atm. What we most certainly wont get "AIR in Spaceships with integrity checks of hulls". That is a server melder ... just play "From the Depths" to see how your pc reacts to 20 ships on water ... when they get riddled with holes. Now imagine what the server will say to a few thousands of these checks per second xD. PS: @Lulichika if you use the search function you will find a bunch of similar topics already discussing this~

You're welcome. Asking nicely is always a good thing. Many just shout around how this or that sucks and how other games do it xD. Before even looking for the info themself or asking people when they can't find it.

Placeholder.

To sum it it up: - there will be a free period of "trial time" - you get DAC with these packs. Each DAC is 1 month of ingame sub time. (either can sell them for ingame stuff or use them yourself) - you will need to sub after your DAC are all gone to get acess to your account again The money you pay for the support packages is basicaly an "up-front payment of x amounts of months + neat extras + free time till the game realeses". DO MIND ... test are weekly for a day and can be short as 1~6 hours if problems come up. Generally you can expect a weekend test session per month, if nothing bad happens. Shedule is viewable on the site https://www.dualthegame.com/en/server-status/ If you don't mind an unfinished game and bugs. You can jump onto the long ride alot of people here are riding already. Do give feedback to things ... ask questions in chat ingame and be nice. Then everyone will be nice to you. Except certain people that like messing with others xD.

^^ the next step, after you get acess. Go to your profile page on the official DU site (not the forums) and see the "download game" link on the bottom corner below your profile pic. http://prntscr.com/l2o4z2 http://prntscr.com/l2o4mr I guess this isn't something that is NDA covered as it isn't related to anything viewable or mechanics type of the game. But generally, any "reminder/ info" e-mail that might come with the Alpha should point newbies to this i guess. (somehow this forum doesn't like my snapshot site of choice... doesn't accept the urls of the images xD)

As soon as we get more info on materials. Expect a ton of different materials to be resilent to different types of damage. Intermix them either by layers or random patterns and you get a wall that can't be easily broken down for an entry hole. When will we have info about these? I guess when either PvP hits the test or when we're close to Beta/ Realese. Outside of that, i guess you there's stil a bunch of elements you could use to "absorb" damage. That you could hide inside walls. Might cost alot altough.

You're :3. A god of spamming forum post, from 1000 posts onwards~ Your deity skills will be: - mass quote - +1 invulnerabilty to mods - + 1 stash of internet wisdom

:3 Let people dream. Everything is possible.

Welcome at the Iridium Cartel Forum Recruitment and Info Center. We strive to be an strong economical player in the DU Universe. While still focusing on having fun and mainly focusing on interaction between people. Pleaes do keep discussions about ingame or forums topics out of this thread. Pleaes don't bump this post without any worthwhile info/ changes or questions (No: Bump~ Just for the sake of it.). WIP: More to come ;3. Just reserving the spot atm. Do mind the rough state of this, just starting this up. Any feedback is welcome, as long as it's constructive. Our main goals are simple: - Setup bases of operation, where members can craft and store their goods. - Setup sale sites for said goods. - Maintain a way for non-members to work for the Iridium Cartel. For an payout in ingame coin. - Maintain a way for members to work for the Iridium Cartel. For an Payout in ingame coin or Iridium Credits. - Have fun working together and enriching each other. If you're interested in joining, you will be required to become a member of “The Empire” too. There's no negative aspects of being an "Empire" member or an "Iridium Cartel" member in a monetary way. No Taxes are levied. No mandatory tasks are handed out. No part of your freedom is taken away. The only negative aspect might be, that in war times ... empire members might be suspect to force by third party military actions. If they end up in the crossfire of conflicts somehow. While protection trough the military of the empire is a given during the whole duration of being a member, in an proportional response to the aggressive nature of what happened. So how will the Iridium Cartel found itself with money and ressources? Quite simple! If you work for the Iridium Cartel without payout in ingame coin, you will be awarded with “Iridium Credits” as a member. These can be used to buy things which are not for sale for the public or you can get a discount on general sales products. The more people work for “Iridium Credits”, the more products and services we will be able to actively hold up for them. Aspects of “Iridium Credits” : (not finalized, might and will change over time) Only 5% above production cost fuel prices! Rent-able transports! Specialized LUA for escaping people in Space! Seminars and Training about Markets / Trade/ Flight ! Conversion to DAC (if resource-flow in the market allows for it) Public Market Sites: - cords ( will be upped when NDA drops and player markets are avaible) Public List of Goods for Sale: -add goods list Public Fabrication Sites: - cords ( will be upped when NDA drops and player crafting is avaible) Public List of wages for labor: - add working wages for fabrication Iridium Points: Explanation. List of goods. Discounts. General Info: If you're searching for a larger amount of goods or a monthly/ weekly recurring delivery of them. Pleaes get in touch with a legate or any of the listed members below. - people to add here Black List: You don't want to be mentioned here ;3. Anyone setup here, will be banned from using any services provided by the Iridium Cartel. AND be fired upon on sight by mercenary/ bounty-hunters or affiliated military if the reason for black listing is proportional to the force applied. bad people to add really bad people to add Complaints: Please forward all your complaints about members or products supplied by us to the following people. We will research and hand out justice if necessary. Imperial Law (which is mostly common law) applies to anyone. Scamming or unprovoked theft are not tolerated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Section: Here you will be able to ask questions, and gather infos before messageing us for an small application interview. We strive to be open about mostly anything that isn't a buisness secret. So you always will be able to see how many of our membership numbers, actually are active in someway towards our corporation. FAQ: Q: Do i need to be an member of "The Empire"? A: Yes~ We don't see any real negative aspects of being an civilian of "The Empire" and it will make communication between our corporation and others that joined the bigger entity easyer. Q: Will i get an even share if i do a task in a mining group? A: Yes. Regardless of what you're doing, everyone will agree beforehand to handout a equal share to each participating member. Mining, Transporting and Market related dutys will be generic tasks of a mining group. So that someone who flys a transport from A to B the whole time will be awarded the same as the people mining or the people that setup market related tasks (based on the time they spent on the task). But the group can always decide to do things fully together, from start to end. But this is still in a "concept" stage ... we will see how well it holds up in beta times. Q: Will fuel for transportation tasks be supplied? A: Yes and No. You can add fuel consumption into an calculation we will provide, so that an extra bit of the share should cover that extra cost. Do mind, fuel consumption will be calculated on weight moved and the distance. So if you use way to much fuel then a halfway optimized transport would, you could end up with a bit less real wage for your task. Q: What is a public fabrication site? A: An area where anyone will be able to craft. Either with their own ressources that they supply, with only a fee for the crafting building usage = they can keep the endproduct. Or with the resources of the Iridium Cartel, where they will be awarded ingame coin for finished products= they will need to sell the endproduct at a given rate. Q: What is a public market site? A: An market where everyone can create buy and sell orders, regardless of membership status or not. No discounts or controlled rates for products will be in place in these areas and only a small tax will be deducted for transactions. But the main use for the Iridium Cartel will be, buying ressources off non-member players for later fabrication use. - more to be added Affiliated Organizations and Corporations: - The Empire - to be added Discord: - to be added ( when i finish it someday xD) Active Member Count ( last 14 days): 3 out of 4 / 75% Members on absent/ holiday list: - to be added Member Slots filled: 4/xx (not yet decided how many members we will take up as a maximum. But it won't be over 20 probably.) Public Market Sites (with closest planet in cursive + distance): - to be added Public Fabrication Sites (with closest planet in cursive + distance): - to be added General description of what member type we want, or rather what members should expect normal ingame activity to be: - no military actions ( we will hire mercenarys/ guards or affiliated military services for protection. We do encourage members to join more PvP oriented groups for bloodlust fullfillment needs~ We will defend ourselfs too ... but we wont search for fights.) - group mining - transport tasks - fabrication of materials and elements - building of market sites/ fabrication sites - social interactions (chatting and all kinds of small talk) - stocking and checking of markets - improveing LUA scripts for storage/ markets/ fabrication or auto follow tasks - being talkative in either chats or voip If we managed to get your interest i either becomeing a member or a buisness partner, don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to talk with people and foster contracts/ friendships. https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/iridium-cartel#post_4016

Well i can tell you the basics i expect most people to do for training. 1. Play as a group in any game 2. Teach everyone how to fly in aerospace and space 3. Teach them how to communicate in groups and squads 4. ??? 5. ??? 6. Profit~

This is still ongoing? Whoa. Well, let me add this. http://prntscr.com/l1bjhj Always check for traps! (i suck at doing this ...)

Accurate depiction of what will happen to all the new sky aces ;3.

Well .... we had a pre-alpha race already. So it's the second or third in DU history (the fact is not under nda, just the possible fotoage). Just as a sidenote.( ) Don't do this if you had no acess previously ... Or ask Yamamushi for inputs as soon as you get to actually being "ingame under nda". And then think out better suited rules ... and means to track people actually adhereing to the course. There's alot of things to raceing to think off. For starters you should limit "things" ... alot more. And specific size limits more clearly ... + how much engines/ fuel/ etc is alloweed. Which will need to be in the "NDA" covered part of this forum you will gain acess too, when you get into alpha. And lastly, fly the course yourself a few times. You probably will drop out of the sky duo lack of fuel, if you make it to large of a track. Simple logic on these statements ^^.

Modular Weapons are neat ... but they need to be kept in check or well balanced. Or bigger orgs will dominate everything with their deathrays of doom. PS: I like your avatar xD. Cute cat/foxgirl.

i show google. Works well for lots of inspirations. And outside of google... deviantart. There's alot of great hobby artists out there, with amazing ideas.

As mentioned with another guy. https://www.eclipse.org/ldt/ Good software to use. And the latest book is: Programming in Lua fourth edition, by the original creator of LUA. Roberto Ierusalimschy. The old stuff is still applicable. New LUA just has a few extra functions and life improvements. Outside of that. I suggest using google to look for things, there's a full stream of free and well written teaching materials out there.

:3 Hello friend.
