Currently, you are forced to participate in PVP whether you want to or not.
This is just categorically untrue. I have over 9000 hours of enjoyment into this game and I have never done ANY PvP, except for a few test battles on the PTS

an Anniversary wipe
hush you.
Another wipe and even I would quit.

Two things really.
1. The ability to build things. To design and build cool creations is a continuing joy always.
2. The ability to FLY my ships. diving into atmo in a barrel roll the Halo of fiction heat spiraling off into my wake. Weeeeee!

use flatten tool to dig and then smooth over the flattened ground
indeed, but trying to smooth out a 45 degree slope on the other hand is a nightmare.

being able to use cut / paste / and the vertex tool on ground voxels would be awesome too! although, I'm pretty sure they don't want us all building sand castles.
-
Pretty please?
I would settle for a ground smooth tool that actually smooths rather then create spikes and black triangles. I have gotten pretty good at digging holes, placing a blob back and resmoothing over and over again until I get a reasonable result, but it is painfully cumbersome. and we are now a year into release.
I'm pretty sure that we are way overdue for a few long awaited quality of life fixes.Thanks!

That it isn't past tense. I'm still very much enjoying building ships and flying them throughout the galaxy.

Sadly I don't see the forum getting attention anymore, the community has felt abandoned, and unresponsive.
The real community is on Discord.
NQs unwillingness to simply ban the 3 schmucks who fill every forum post with a tired rant on how the game isn't being developed anymore, and how no one is playing (both wrong) makes it a dreary drudge to try and read anything here. I still try though.

We need to create a switch to magnetize the voxel vertices.
To facilitate construction by voxels.
When you need to place two voxels side by side without changing the shape
Unfortunately that is just not how voxels work. Despite the way we speak about it, you don't actually place voxels. The voxel space is simply a cube of cubes. "Placing a voxel" is actually taking an empty voxel that is already there, and painting it with a texture. When you move any vertex you, by necessity, move that vertex for all 8 voxels it is attached to.
If you have a voxel shape in your clipboard and you want it to override the vertices position when you paste it, hold down the shift key when you click it into place. This will paste with paste dominance instead of existing dominance. -

And even if they somehow suddenly got more resources for DU, since they ignored major technical and design issues for years it mean that the game would need a complete overhaul to deliver the pillar functionality of the game, in any way close to what players would expect from a modern MMO.
In other words. NQ dug a big hole, and now they get to lie in it.
And thanks to how they treated the community and especially the early adapters, all the help they are going to get from players (mostly ex by now) is to fill in the hole after NQ has lied down in it.. And it will certainly not help NQ when they release whatever they are working on in the already unpopular NFT/WEB3 segment.
If you truly believe that DU is awful, and and you believe that there is no hope for improvement. Then why are you still here at all?
And if you are hopeful for continued growth, ask yourself, does a post like the one above help advance that goal, or hinder it? -

connecting the Inverted containers to a Hub removes the benefits
That is correct. I bug reported it and got back a response that container hubs do not yet support mass reduction.

I'm not obligated to "help or get out of the way"
Of course you're not. My opinions don't have any authority behind them at all.
Contrary to what a prospective player might read here, my experience is that there is an active and enthusiastic player base that would welcome more players willing to delve into a complex but rewarding sandbox.
That the devs are continuing to work hard on the game, perhaps not with the lightning speed a larger dev house might achieve, but with dedication to a beloved project and a steadfast commitment to treading thoughtfully.
That the devs do in fact read these forums. They just don't always reply to every post, particularly ones that don't provide any new insights.

Did you happen to go visit the IC spaceport during the Chinese New Year weekend event? the place was hopping, and lag was minimal. Thousands of ships.

Help or get out of the way.
If you truly believe that the game is dead, not being developed, and awful, (which I do not believe) then go do something else. Trolling the DU forums constantly decrying the process doesn't actually help anyone, even you. -

I'm pretty sure that removing that jerk Tyim would make any game better.

Guys, i heard they upgrading and improving and spending houndreds dev hours into the planets again. This great news because i cant wait to have a nicer view when im calibrating my mining units. Also amazing marketing strategy by NQ to release skins but make so noone can buy them except the few nerds that supported kickstarter 10y ago. i think NQ stratedy is use sub money to support dev of skins instead of have skins support the game. They might be on to something here if u ask me
Pretty sure 'you' would feel different if you had been waiting 3 years for those Kickstarter perks. If one didn't eventually get them, one would likely be screaming bloody murder.
7 hours ago, blundertwink said:I don't know
That is correct. Neither do I. I do think it is safe to assume that some folks in NQ management look at the numbers quite closely and care very much about maintaining their company. I doubt that our speculation will all of a sudden make them go, "Well damn! profit?! why didn't I think of that?"

So we back in a kind of beta? Using PTU and so on? Is this a released game?
I have never met an mmo that was not always in a permanent state of development. They grow, they change, they adjust, they rebalance, they add expansions small and enormous. Sometimes they even get it right.

Side note, jettesoning cargo is something you'd see if a real pirate was on your @SS. Instead of stopping players from doing it, with items being deleted.... drop the items as a lootable container behind the ship to be used as a decoy/dropping weight. Pirates can then double back for the package. Add more gameplay, don't restrict it further... I am so tired of yall restricting gameplay, so much I could / did in Beta can no longer do on the launch game because of that mentality.
Hell yes! so on point.

Thank you for this post. I look forward to all of these features.
May I suggest you introduce just a weeeee bit of Lore into the PvE system too! who are we fighting? and why? This is a very important part of game cohesion and player motivation. Also who damaged Thades? Was it really Aphelia as Tyim insists? Inquiring minds want to know! Drop some crumbs.

[QoL Suggestion] Voxel Replace/Paint Tool
in Builder Forum
Posted
I agree that the current paint voxel tool is essentially useless.
It is better/easier to do the same task with a simple cut and paste.
Highlight and copy a region of the same size as the thing you want to color, then scroll up or down to choose the material you want, then just paste it back on top of the original. (not shift paste, just paste.) Because this game has existing dominance, it will simply recolor those voxels with the new material, and won't change the shape.
