    They have to find it first.  Are there any current examples of non-safe stations that have yet to be found?


    That would be hard to prove since nobody's found them yet.

    A bit like the DU version of Bertrand Russell's Golden Teapot. lol.


     

    True, they have to find the station first, but obfuscation alone is rarely a successful military strategy: Merely delaying the inevitable. At some point you WILL be found and at that point you are toast...
     

    Here is actual proof from my neck of the woods that even a master ninja gets detected eventually:

    I love Japan so much.

     

     

  2. Here is NQ driving game logic:

     

    warning, unlike other NQ game mechanics, this one is surprisingly fulfilling, complicated and highly nuanced so be warned that the learning curve to know whether or not your space station is in danger is steep:
     

     

    if SpaceStation in SafeSpace:

         state = everyThing100pcAllOK

    else:

         state = youreBasicallyFukt

     


    I know it’s a lot to take in but this is 2022, and sandbox games are deep af these days. 

  3. I've seen reference to a skill accelerator "event" that apparently gifts 100% bonus to SP gain in the first month, 50% bonus for the second third and fourth months and 25% for the fifth and sixth month after the game starts.

    • Is this to everyone regardless of backer status?  Do we just have to have an active account for those months to get the bonus?
    • In the same release notes gumph, it says, "Please make sure you have 6 months of skills queued up"... But why, though? I don't see the need.
    • So if one was a backer for 13+ months or or a Kickstarter or patron, what happens to our skill points? That wasn't mentioned in the release notes.

     

    If anyone less confused than me could explain, I'd be most grateful.

    I can't remember the last time I used my native language (Dutch) in an (online) game...

     

    that was my thread written back when the game appeared to have a chance of working. 

     

    You can clearly understand English. Japanese people generally ONLY use and understand Japanese. A few have a basic grasp of English at a primary school level. A tiny few can speak English and are treated like gods by their brethren. 
     

    I know because I’ve been here since the 90s. I have met maybe only a dozen or so fluent English speakers in that time. 

     

    I made the hiragana font library a few years ago as a stopgap measure but rely on Discord for Japanese support.

    This, despite the NDA being lifted here:

     

     

     

    And the post I shared is available to anyone on the forum here:

     

     

    Actually the post you shared is protected under NDA. You and I hve NDA access so we can see it but I tried and my second account can’t access it. 
     

    the NDA stated that nothing  covered by the NDA can be displayed outside of NDA only forums EVEN AFTER THE NDA HAS BEEN LIFTED. 

     

    So I guess you fell foul of that particularly draconian piece of legislature. 
     

    I still think an outright ban is too harsh, though. NQ have no sense of perspective, IMO.

    I wont play this game again. 

    3000k hours of your life scammed away with a false promise and you still think about playing this game. Its your choice, but loyalty like this make such behavior from companies possible. 

    But i can understand it

     Three MILLION hours.... FML... That's a lot of scam. I'd be angry, too, if I lost over 300 years of my life to a scam.

    You ruined it! :D 

     

    Not a great sign when this game's only PR efforts gets a few hundred views -- the last few videos haven't even crossed 700 views 😕 

     

    It's almost like people have given up on watching these videos because they know it won't be especially relevant or answer any real questions. Wouldn't be a huge deal if NQ engaged in other ways, but they don't.

     

    Their weekly "video" is really the only effort they make in talking at their customers. 

     

    You should see their twitter "feed"... LOL.   It's sparser Engineers' Date night at university (apparently... O_o).

    By thrusters, do you mean engines? 

    You can use engines facing in any direction and they will fire as needed (ex: upward facing engine will fire when you are pressing C to go down).

     

    This does not work exactly like adjustors do however. Adjustors will roll, pitch, and yaw on the center axis of the ship. Engines push the entire ship from the direction they are facing. So an engine at the top front will not tilt the ship downward like an adjustor, it will just push the whole ship down without changing the pitch.

    You can enable torque. And then they do rotate the ship. Problem is that you need to use LUA and engine tags to fire them independently.

  9. @Aaron Cain  Ah, the limitless sandbox: Entirely built and driven by players, except for the game bits, apparently.

     

    Aphelia created schematics with

    aphelia chosen artificial limits.


    Aphelia built marketplace on

    aphelia built property

     

    Aphelia owned market storage charging

    aphelia calculated taxes.

     

    Aphelia taxed sales accessed from

    aphelia built consoles.


    Aphelia designed mining units with

    aphelia controlled remote kill switches

     

    Aphelia controlled armistice zones protecting

    aphelia taxed planets with

    aphelia taxed hexes.

     

    Aphelia controlled deep space scanners listing

    aphelia leaked info on other players' activities.

     

    This list was just off the top of my head, apologies, Aphelia, if I have forgotten to attribute something to you.

  10. Third time downloading 6.3 or so GB v 0.31 this week... Luckily I have 2.5G Ethernet on a 2GB/s fibre optic and am located in Tokyo so downloads buzz by... But I believe that NQ have to pay for server total bandwidth, so this is going to hurt them if many players are having to redownload multiple gigabytes multiple times.

    Strange thing is that I actually "played" the downloaded game for 10 minutes to queue up my skills but just now it asked me to download again...
