This is for those who are new to Dual Universe (and the forums) and whom have not seen some of the art/in game assets shown by Novaquark.

These are sliding doors to use in your spaceship or base or wherever you need a door. I just hope they make that "swish" sound

EDIT: Here is another sliding door, smaller....think the sliding door between a corridor and room or bridge in Star Trek.

EVE doesnt even feel like a game, for me I wouldnt be leaving. I will be only starting to play this game.
 
I have tried to play EVE, but you dont play EVE so much as you think about what you are going to do.
 
Click here, click there, you dont exactly fly the ship you just move around.
 
Beyond that the UI in EVE is very unfriendly, cant make the font or bars bigger and you gotta be very specific moving the mouse through the menus to achieve desired results.
 
EVE has some good gameplay ideas and many things that I would enjoy, but EVE and DU are almsot not even competitors.
 
If Infinity: Quest for Earth is still in development, that might be a competitor, but I got tired of checking on their site for news.

I like the idea of a souless logout type system. Basically when in a safe zone or area that does not allow PvP logout is instant but when not in such a zone then logout takes a bit of time (or your body ragdolls). There should also be a system where if you are in combat (like PvE or someone breaking PvP rules in a town) within a safe area it will take x amount of time for you to actually log out similar to not being in a safe zone.

I'm your friend. I'll team up with you even if I'm not exactly in the DUA

It has come to my attention that very few, if any, people here know me.
My fault entirely, as I am usually a private lurker behind the scenes. It is not often I wish to bask in the warm glow of limelight. 
 
To that particular end, I've been working on a new freighter design and lost track of the months.
Then it took almost a full three weeks to get the lithium grease out of my clothes and make myself presentable.
*sigh*
 
Anyhow, I sold that design, which wasn't my best work, to someone who needed it "right now".
 
You may be wondering why you should care?
WELL, I'll tell you, I'm "in the money", so two rounds of drinks are on me! 
Cheers!

Oh, and I heard Vulture Corp was hiring? Is this correct?

Oh man just think of the credits id have to spend on youth regeneration shots.
 
Big Pharma the next big industry of du.
 
Is food meter really necessary? Just by the nature of a food water oxygen meter existing is three things we have to think about.
Realistic or not it's true well be very busy mining building politicking and fighting.
It'd be such a drag if someone in the fleet said hold on guys my character has to take a break to eat.
 
As much joy as you all would take in putting my gene jack animal trait humans into forced service to bring food to the crew we won't stand for it.
 
Chef or cooking is popular enough for just buffs or stamina and health regeneration. Do we really need a starvation meter?

I was only suggesting the pet part because it would maybe be easier to some people, then to programe a robot.
And some people just want an alternative to robots.

I was hooked when I saw Bluedrake42's video called "GG Dual Universe...GG" and got stunned of how much brass the devs have and confidence in their work. And I second the notion of pushing people who are toxic or haters off the forums. 

I mean, let's face it, EVE has one of the saltiest communities I have ever had the chance of looking into. Second to theirs is Planetside's. Then goes the Souls games series' blokes who spam "Git Gud" at anything. Let's face the haters and the trolls with the simplest, most powerful notion. Not-Careing. 

Peace.

==================================================================================================


   Nobody chooses to call themselves Twerkmotor. Then again, nobody would believe them Arkships were ever going to be needed. They called me crazy, them top-heads and generals, calling me insane for pointing out the obvious trap we were heading ourselves into. 



  Have you ever wandered why we would ever put ourselves in hybernation, if we have warp-drives? It diffuses the purpose doesn't it? Well, have you ever wandered, why your first instinctual thought when hearing about spaceship is "big guns" ? Why you think of alien worlds and the first twitching motion is the trigger-finger squeezing? That's right soldier, now it all comes back, doesn't it?



 They told us the war would bring safety to humanity. They told us the war would secure humanity's existence for ages to come. I guess those buzcut heads must function as echochambers, since there seemed to be no brain whatsoever left in those top-notch generals. The aliens knew our tactics, they had millenians to perfect war, they only had to amp the scale of one tactic in particular and we were done for. Scorched Earth they called it back in the day, the aliens called "Collapsing a Star". 
 Do you know what happens, when you warp into a system and the star collapses? You never come out of warp. The black hole's orbit flings you past it, as warp will allow you to exceed the escape velocity of the black hole, but at what cost? Say bye bye to your loved ones, you won't be seeing them EVER again.

 I told the top-notch grizzly pilots in fancy uniforms that the aliens collapsed the stars, it's not something that happens every other time and so often. They called me crazy. "Noone can collapse a star. It's beyond ANY technology that can exist" they said. I guess handling a rail-gun makes EVERYONE expert in nuclear fusion and weak nuclear interactions. When Alpha Centauri's binary stars collapsed at the same time, we knew we were done for. 4.5 years they gave us to pack everyone of importance into the Arkships. That's how long the gamma radiation would take to reach planet Earth and turn its own atmosphere into a microwave oven. They came to me, told me that I had foresight , they told me my knowledge wa valued. 

I showed them my brother's death-mail, saying he was K.I.A. after the battle of Kaliban system. I showed them my wife's last letter, having it made into a portrait. For your information, she went "missing", along with an entire squadron of ships under her command. She never had time for children, she had to fight the good fight you see. I told them I will be waiting the end on my lawn, possibly with the barbeque going.


They told me the aliens had lost control of their tech that disrupted the core of stars, something about quantum frequencies, how the galactic center was "infected" by the disruption of the aliens' weapon. Yeah, guess what happens when you disrupt a supermassive black hole. That's where the Arkships came in.


It was tech meant for EXTREMELY long travels. Warp can make a travel to a system ten light years away to last only a day or two. But another galaxy altogether? That took time. Time that would be needed spent in cryosleep. They told me I could make a difference in humanity's new era, far away, to a galaxy safe from possible quantum frequency disruptions in the core of its stars. I said yes to that. That would be a good way to make my life worth its while.


Guess what, the aliens had blown up their own territory's stars so much, they were out of materials to enact their own Project Ark. One last hurray in being assholes, amirite? Even as we boarded the arkships, those friggin' aliens kept fighting us. They got our starbird side in a kinetic barrage - tell you what, Arkships are enormous, cumbersome, up until they hit warp, then they fly as fast as any star-hopper jet could. One in every ten arkships was destroyed. I retrospect, I hope those were the last things I could recall.


While being prepped for cryostasis, I took the liberty of conversing with the men and women in my pod-group. I asked them of what their field of expertise was, given my assumption that the arkships would have people of science to help rebuild humanity. As I asked the first man on my left, he replied "Heavy Weapons operator". The woman across me said, "Sniper" in a hick accent. Slowlly, every other person spoke up and soon, they all started exchanging their batallion numbers, where they had served, how man drops in power armor they had under their belts, confirmed kills, stories of gorious glory. Then it hit me. I wasn't there to rebuild humanity. I was there to build weapons for a new and senseless war when the time comes.


I had ninety centuries of cryo sleep and lucid dreams to see the same nightmare. My brother, dying in an onslaught of aliens, then I saw others' brothes dying, others' wives dying. I saw the endless cycle of hate and misery, brought by a "new" humanity, rooted in a military gene pool.  That's how it started, getting mad.


Now, as I'm standing here, awoken, unfrozen, isolated in the bridge of the arkship, with every airlock open in the ship and every cryopod ejected down the planet, I only have to wonder how long will these grunts take to kill each other with sticks and stones. Surelly, it won't be long. I wasn't thinking straight, I must have dropped some engineers down the planet alongside the soldiers. Which gave me a better idea. Why build weapons for the army, when I can start selling weapons to everyone? Why not feed both sides of the war with the same weapons? Why not make myself less of a threat, give myself a silly-ass name. Yes, war never changes they say. Weapons though do. And it's due time for some upgrades. Perhaps... quantum-frequencies is the direction I should dwell into.

While I am frustrated of lack of the proverbial "meat and potatoes" of my appetite for more info on the game, I can understand of the devs not running their mouth and promising us the kitchen sink as well. I'll keep visiting the forum daily, getting my fix of the Q&A section and wait until another Youtuber talks shit just for the Devs to shoot him/her down with the power of facts.

It's me.
 
And no, you were not boring. It's really hard to talk about dual (why I dont post much here) until we understand how their vision plays out in the game. Once we are able to test it, see it working, then suggestions and commentary will be dialed in towards what is more achievable by their systems. When that happens the amount of things to talk about will be non stop and more fluid.
