    Only when flying solo. Then you need to know what you do and how tracking, hitting, dmg and other mechanics work. 

     

    Most ppl don't engage in a fight they don't know the outcome of (they win). If they do, they escalate

    Are you speaking as someone that wandered into Goons space and they dropped their titans on your Indy because they were scared of a trap? ?

     

    Doing daily PVP in Provi and being some wars, there was surprisingly little escalation. 

     

    One case, that did annoy me, we took out a fleet of Nightmares and were smashing NC.s Cap fleet, so they dropped supers on us. I mean, we had stood there, out gunned, were beating them and they had to pull out bigger toys because they were bad pilots. ?

  2. I quit EVE when they started selling skill injectors.

     

    Lived in a WH for over a year. Did a fair bit in Provi mostly as logi lead and trapping blops.

     Say what you will about Goons, they are hilarious to fly with.

    That they are neo-Goons and a social black hole; where people often had to make whole new characters with a clean corp history, in order to escape to other alliances.

     

    The real Goons want to kill games.
    Neo-Goons either do not impinge upon or actively help line Mitten's pockets.

     

    I would never fly with or for PL nor the neo-Goons.

    What would be the benefit for NQ to go talk to Unigine to get their Vulkan support done at this time?

    Nothing much,  just the ability to work towards a better launch performance.

    Both Vulkan and DX12 are much more demanding on development (time) and for a confirmed Windows only title well underway and on limited resources (as clearly explained in a previous post by NQ) there is no real benefit and frankly the same arguments against it apply.

    Did you read this thread or knee-jerk on the title? :rolleyes:

    That's Unigine related, might want to harp on them to hurry it up: 

    Game devs and multiple players tend to have a more substantial voice than a single player.

  6. Vulkan is great for everyone.
    Here is an example

     

    Another

     

    From here

    What is perhaps worrying for Microsoft is that despite DirectX 12 games largely being bigger names than Vulkan titles, just five upcoming games have confirmed DirectX 12 support. Of these five games, three are being published by Microsoft Studios. Star Wars Battlefront II and Assassin’s Creed Origins are the only upcoming third-party games with DX12 support confirmed. All five are sure to be huge titles, however.

    ... and will come in with serious numbers ...

    ... and remember, if they are real Goons, they come to kill the game. 
    (If they are neo-Goons, they come to put more $$$ in Mitten's mittens.) ;)

    Purge all of them whenever you can before the cockroaches grow and establish themselves in the game.

    Novaquark, you have been warned. 

    This is the sort of statement made by one of those guys with wild hair, dirty clothes and screams the end of the world is coming. :P

     

    More seriously, their aim is obviously to have a game more like EVE than ARK. Where the single universe is too large for any one group to control it all, too many ways for small groups to grab a foothold, build themselves up and take a piece of that pie.

    Even if Linux held 25% it wouldn’t make sense to tackle such until after release.  There are priorities in play.

    Re-do a complete game or lay out good planned coding practises?

     

    The more code there is to work through in order to free the game from Window's clutches, the bigger the mountain to climb with less rewards at the top.
    Better to start laying the road that knows the easiest way straight through the mountain.

    .... Also @Jenshae please stop hating on other operating systems, everyone has their own preferences ...

    No secret that I hate Windohs. Have to keep that pile of rubbish running at work. 
    At home, I switched to Linux, not because I love Linux but because I wanted to get away from Windows.

    The other option is Mac ... well there are cheaper Etch-and-Sketches out there than what Apple sells.

    You are turning your post away from DU Ports, and toward Win vs Linux debate.

    ... NQ should IMO stay far away from Linux as it is really not worthwhile for them to pursue ...

    While I personally fail to see the point in putting this much effort into getting games to run while all you need to do is install/dual boot Windows is just silly, ...

     

    The value of Linux as a gaming platform was raised as early as Post #3.

     

    My point is that Linux is worth the effort and is a growing user base. "Gabe must be pissed Linux is so low after all of his effort" that is still only proportional, the actual number of users is increasing as more people game each year.

     

    At some point the circle will break, devs will more frequently make games cross platform, more players will use the best OS and it will keep growing from there. If you had looked at the number of AAA games and Linux gamers 10 and 20 years ago, it would have been much lower than it is these days. It is gaining traction and I am putting forward why I believe NQ should be available to 100% of gamers instead of throwing away n% of revenue.

     

    ... and how they can scale / measure the contribution and adjust their efforts down or up accordingly.

    ... and so many compromise with various alternative solutions like dual booting or emulation. ...

    Windows 10 is malware and when Win7 is no longer supported with security updates, I will trash my virtual machine and that will be the end of M$ for me at home (I can't actually remember the last time I ran the VM).
