The eight rights of passage are like the 8 arms of the giant space squid: squishy and scary looking at first, but they can really grab and hold on if you get too close.
(Those other 2 appendages are the squids tentacles, I know they are easy to get wrong while running away screaming, at least in my experience.)
A good idea would be to put every player through the same sequence the main character from the short story written for DU went through. in the story, the main character woke from his cryosleep and spoke with the AI controlling the ship. Once able, he left the cryotube and explored a little. After a while, the AI spoke to him again and he was placed into a few 'training exercises' inside the Virtual Reality zone the Devs mentioned to us. Inside the zone, we will be free to test out builds without the risk of crashing and losing materials as a result. I believe this would be the best place for the tutorial.
For small, fighter class ships, a simple ADWS and Mouse controlled simple would do fine. For larger ships, it would make sense for there to be a slightly more advanced system. For example, you could predefine the flight path. There should also be an option to manually control the larger ships, in the event that the path ahead could be changing and be unpredictable. (Such as inside an astroid belt where there are astroids flying everywhere)

Thank you for reading about the Diverse Unified Accord
also alpha is not about making blueprints, its about finding bugs for closed beta . alpha is not going to be a way to play the game, it is very much the unfinished game, and thinking it is going to be anything else may ruin it for you. Please do not think alpha is going to be anything like what the game on launch will be, you should not opt in to alpha unless you are 100% committed to just making the game playable
NQ has said there will be a wipe from alpha to closed beta. I think closed beta to open beta will be a wipe. not sure if they doing one from open beta to live game but I would think yes.
and silverranger is right, the alpha in regards to lore is taking place while "we" are on the arkship in deep sleep through a VR
Faction members will probably use their own, private, voice chat applications outside of the game. When playing together, it would make sense to use a separate program to speak to one another. I can imagine why it could make in-built voice chat mechanics useless, however they can still be useful.
Let's say one of your faction members was attempting to dock at an possibly hostile faction's base to discuss a treaty. They'd need permission. That's where the in-built voice chat would come in. The pilot(s) would need to hail the faction base and request to dock. Otherwise they may get shot down.
Thank you, JC, for bringing this idea to the table. Thank you, NQ, for bringing it to life! Every gamer has dreamt of such a game, and you lads are giving it to us!
Thank you also, for answering our questions, for taking note of our ideas, and for just being all round lads!
Lua is something I plan on learning. Finally, I can learn code while doing something I enjoy. (Thanks to Dual Universe) In the past, I've always gotten bored and left it be because it was just so damn tedious to learn code on your own.
If the developers managed to: (1) create an algorithm that scales the required amount of resources and components to create the desired element, (2) Create scalable textures and meshes for each element, or an automatic process that does it for them (I've seen it done before) and finally, (3) balance out the stats such as damage and defense via either manual testing or an automatic alorithm such as the one from (1), this could easily possible. I'd imagine it's easier said then done, and there's probably more to it, but hey, it's a totally boss idea.
Having the ability to scale let's say, an engine, would result in a less powerful engine, but a smaller engine! It makes perfect sense and is highly possible (I think) This would allow for tiny drones and probes that could act as sentries, scouts, and so on!
I cant help notice that models have a fixed scale and cannot be voxel modified. It could be an interesting mechanic to have a scale modifier that increases size of then model and the stats, so you can make tiny bots to run around conduits and repair your ship. The models are 3D and the scalar is 1D thus would have to scale to the cube to be realistic, with a linear loss function according to abs(original scale - scale) * balancingTweakingConstantScalar.
this would allow for quite interresting things like gigantic reactors, massive guns and tiny bots.
Well, it could be the obvious reason, in which you have forgotten your password and/or are typing in the wrong password. An easy solution to this would be to recover it via your email address (The one you used to sign up to the forums)
By the way, welcome to the forums!
Welcome to the forums, Sheldon! I recommend you check out the Devblog if you haven't already. Also, the forum is full of information about the game. Welcome again!
