    Thanks NovaQuark, you are truly some nice people. I don't really know what to say, thank you for at least making an effort to include the enhanced character creator for launch.
     
    You all continue to shoot past my expectations. I really wish the best for this team and hope the project succeeds overall and is a great success post launch.

    Kongou got a reaction from Benitius in I propose: The Free Democratic Republic (recruiting, and in search of founders and leaders)   
    I wouldn't be able to condone taking peoples weapons. I believe to strongly in the right to bear arms.
     
    Offering a basic living wage might be unfeasible unless you have a guaranteed source of labor to grind credits.

    In order to protect the players of this games freedom, and to preserve the identity and liberty of organisations which sign onto the interstellar accord which is Cinderfall, Democracy is to dangerous of an element to be allowed to rule the day.
     
    More than once already we've had to shake a stick at people that would opt to do something that actually interferes with their own ability to be free in the game. People are not typically as up to speed with what is or isn't possible and get taken advantage of by politicians.
     
    Any org is free to align themselves under the Cinderfall umbrella if they agree to certain standards. Basically they must behave themselves. Does the magistratum have significant power and authority, yes sure, but the holders of power are the orgs. So if two orgs initiate a conflict through the magistrates mediation, say the DUA and the TU, over control of a planet, the magistratum wouldn't have been able to do anything until orgs request the use of their authority.
     
    The magi can solve problems, they cant forcibly redraw the borders of member orgs, they could in theory establish any sort of law but they'll put themselves up against me if they constrict the freedoms of the people or the orgs. 
     
    Democratic, Autocratic, or whatever the system does not decide the strength or righteousness of the leaders. Just look at my poor country america today. The strength of a leader can however forge a system to be strong.
     
    The DUA is a sort of federal government, an alliance of member orgs, states and corps. The TU is some sort of super nation, with sub divisional orgs and corporations. ODY a corporate state, SLI some sort of judicial corporation. and so forth an on there are many more orgs in csyn, but this doesn't make them military allies, but rather protects them from outright hostilities from other member orgs, and csyn provides a sort of inter-organisation fabric of cooperation without forcing terms of a traditional power mongering alliance on people.
     
    Its too complicated for me to get into depth on how it all works here. Which some will poke fun at and say were overly bureaucratic. Designing it all of course requires a lot of paper work. but when it comes to operation in the game itll be smooth, and people wont even realize there's all this stuff at work behind the scenes.
    --
     
    If you want some help forming your nation / alliance csyn might be able to help you get some footing, your local sovereignty is not at risk. All right.. I rambled again.. Cybrex I'm comin to tortuga for a drink. or a dozen.

    Kongou reacted to Hotwingz in City Planners / Urban Planners / Zone Planning   
    I dont think that will work.
    There is no such thing as a designated area that is tagged "city".
     
    In DU there is land.
    On that land you can build.
    Eventually settlements of several buildings will emerge. At some point it will get of a large enough size that players will call it a city. But from a game point of view there is nothing that defines a city.
     
    (A territory unit can be placed anywhere on the land. And a TU has nothing to do with the concept of a city.)
     
    Urban planning is something you will have to plan before trying to build a city. Not implement some plot mechanic.
     

     
    PS if you want to move buildings then you need a dynamic core unit. Standard core's cant move.

    I couldn't help but think of this - after of course seeing these kind of threads several times.
     

     
    No offense, new community member and OP. You are new, you apparently did not see the other threads but it explains why some here react like they do.
     
     
     
     
     
     
    I had to look up a translation to "freeloader" to find the fitting meaning (or other meanings) and it's indeed not nice. On the other hand, a player should know that one other user (or a set of posts) doesn't automatically equal an overall community. In short, being insulted isn't nice but assuming it equals the community as a whole at the same time could be more insulting.
     
    At least I read "bad first greeting equals community" in the sentence "That's a real great way to welcome someone to the community" (between the lines).
     
     
    Moving on, I do suggest using one the existing threads. Active duplicate threads just confuse users.

    I'm glad JC Bailie knows how game economies work. I'm glad he knows the value of a DAC isn't about the game money but about the value people attach to it in the game be that resources or the game currency.
     
    I'm glad JC or the team knows whats real and that they're going to monitor and have tight control over the game currency. That they're going to control the game currency and they're going to allow a player driven economy.

    Kongou got a reaction from Lord_Void in NO MONTHLY SUB. PLEASE!!   
    Its all good, you want free to play? Ok Im out, no money from me. I've been waiting for years for a game worth playing that embraces a return to the subscription.
     
    If all the free to play games out there were so great why arent we off playing them right now? Why dont you have any memorable friends or have any love for playing those games? Why did you in the end abandon them and go banging the war dums asking for more free stuff somewhere else?
     
    Is it possible those developers dont listen to their community, they dont develop actual game content, the people youre playing with have no money and no integrity. Not only are the spineless creeps but they lack coordination to push buttons on their keyboards and cant complete basic dungeons as a group. Well thats ok, they devs will just let you all swipe that credit card to get over the difficult stuff.
     
    No wait everyone. I think instead of using the single shard technology that JC and Devs developed over the past few years isnt what we should do at ALL!
    Lets make it like second life, well make private people run their own servers. The cost to licence the software from NQ will be set at $10,000 dollars a year.
    Now youll also need a cloud capable server from a major provider, that wont be cheap looks like it costs about $1,200 dollars a month for a basic setup.
    $24,400 a year to run your own private piece of the single shard dual universe game! HELL YEA FREE TO PLAY!
     
    Now maybe you didnt want to setup your own slice of life and will just bum off of NQ's free space and make them handle all your character data.
     
    So now you can log into the game, yep didnt have to buy a boxed copy! SO FREE!
    Next up, if you want to wear anything other than the basic starter clothes. its 15$ for a shirt, 15$ for pants, 10$ for shoes, 5$ for hats, gloves, and other accessories.
    so about 60-70$ to deck your character out with clothing.
    You can make a second character, but to unlock a second character slot that will be 25$ per
     
    All right, by golly, you got into the game, and you aren't totally naked anymore. I mean, you weren't forced to pay but you did anyway. so you spent 60$ in the cash shop in month one. but you arent done yet.
    To leave Alioth youll have to pay $35 to instantly learn rocketry$ or You can pay 15$ to unlock a tech tree that trains over time but that will take 5 months to train, sorry the learning speed is reduced for players that dont pay a subscription.
     
    So you think. hmm do i want to pay 35$ or wait 5 months and get griefed on Alioth and quit the game?
    So you pay 35$
    Month 1 expenditure. 95$, but its ok, its ok, nobody FORCED you to pay this.
     
     
     
    I could go on like this forever, but do you all get the point yet?

    The number of planets is unlimited. As I understand it, a planet will be procedurally generated as the first player approaches it. It will be procedurally reproduced whenever needed. Any changes made by players will be stored and applied each time the planet is generated.
     
    But, unlike NMS, expanding to a new system is very expensive, so systems will get pretty well developed before the next one gets started.

    It's likely going to be a little limited to begin with.
     
    Technology will have to be researched, developed, and applied by players.
     
    It may take a few days, weeks, or even months to escape the starter planet Alioth. Planets will be fairly big though, I wouldnt worry to much about it.
     
    The first solar system will have a number of planets, if I remember JC said possibly between 10-20 in that solar system.
     
    Then will come a technology that lets us send a probe through hyperspace to go looking for a nearby solar system. When it finds it, it will send a signal back to players allowing a limited number of ships / players or some undetermined variable, to warp to its destination.
     
    Players will have to construct a stargate in the Alioth system, and a stargate in the new solar system. Itll all be quite risky, time consuming, and require team work and coordination with other players to pull off. It'll be quite thrilling!

    Kongou got a reaction from Daphne Jones in First in game credits/money   
    They've only said that the NPC's might, as in maybe possibly or on certain conditions, go away or stop offering money to players.
     
    Its not that there will be a fixed amount of money in circulation, but that they'll actively monitor the economy and standard flow of currency.
     
    Orgs that try to destabilize things and destroy the overall economy will become the bane of everyone. It wont be possible to horde 90% of the game money even if youre a super super villain, but just assuming some organisation gets close, theyll be looted, sacked, and pillaged by countless hordes of people. And no number of mercenaries will save them from round the clock assaults from peasants and commies, as that'll be what they turn everyone into.
     
    A good game econ has a way for money to flow in, and a way for it to flow out. If the analogy is a sink, then the faucet is where money comes in, the drain is where money flows out, but then theres also another part called a overflow pipe that prevents a sink from going above a certain level.
     
    As people quit and become inactive, NPC's increase how much theyll offer you for 100 resource of Iron, because money has technically escaped through the drain. It may still exist, but its inactive and not being traded regularly.
     
    If lets say, a large number of players suddenly turn in resources all at once and the water level rapidly rises, the price of goods on the market goes up because people have more money. The NPC's can have a credits to resource system. Nobody would ever buy Iron for 1500 credits, if they can buy it for 1200 from an NPC, unless theyre out on the fringe of civilization and have no way to get resources from the Novark to where they're at.
     
    So if the money goes over a certain level, the automatic systems in place will help deter inflation. and Likewise if the levels become to low, NQ will crank up the faucet and pour more money in.
    No one person, org, alliance, collective, or force in the game will be able to control what NQ does.
