Hi guys,
 
I have the next recruiting poster ready!
 

They will have to fight to the death though to decide which is the stronger sith and thus deserving of being the one true emperor. its not so easy as just merging.

hello, dont mind me, noticed some butts gave you fewer stars than you deserve, yay me number 11!, gave you a 5x.

Keep going strong friends. interesting music, not really me but thats ok. And yeah good work on those 3d models.

When the resurrection nodes bring you back from a death, you will have chances to drop items, lose them in the respawn, and potentially lose skill points.
 
Although I think it would be really bad if there do end up being purchasable cosmetic items that could be lost in this way, thats just a side note.
 
Point is there are these repercussions for death, you can check out what they are thinking here https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/20-devblog-resurrection-node-mechanics/?hl=%2Bresurrection+%2Bnode , the resurrection devblog

As Einstein said, and this is true story : "Pay-to-Play is the only thing keeping the Universe together ~ George Washington"


Please don't make the game Free-to-Play, because as the industry has proven, every game going free-to-play ends up being ignored after 3 months of its release because it's consider another rip-off "generic koean MMO big-boobs female models" MMO that came out Korea's MMO factory-assembly machine.


As we are lucky, their crank on that machine has broken as of late and the flow has halted. Thank you Black Desert for that, perhaps you put the nail to the Korean MMO genre coffin. Lineage 2 kept you one foot out of the grave for all those years.


So, make the game Pay-to-Play.  Why? Because, as our adversaries on the Free-to-Play front have done, I'm going to providei inaccurate statements that may seem legit.


a ) Pay-to-Play helps NASA : Have you ever looked into NASA's budget? Neither have I, but I can tell with certainty, that they have aliens found and locked up in Area 51.


b )Lizard poople ruling the world . Have you seen one? EXACTLY, they hide very well.


c ) Who let the dogs out? UH?! Woof, woof-woof woof-woof!


d) The fact 15 USD is a researched price of subscription that in 2004 seemed affordable and on this day, with all the inflation goin g on, is actually costing more like 8 dollars in 2004 money. But hey, don't stop economics science stop you.

As you can see, my years in drinking beer over my blood-alcohol level capacities, lead to some pretty constructive criticism of the Fre-to-Play model.


In all seriousness though, we need access to Area 51.




If any Free-2-Play people has anything to say, see this video first. Spoiler alert, I'm a Honey Badger.

I would like to see a mission terminal element in the game. The idea that is kind of floating around in my head is a touch panel that would allow you to take public (open to anyone) and private (org. only or assigned directly to you by a 3rd party) missions of various categories. IE: Resource Gathering, Transportation, Construction, Bounty, and such things. This could be done with a template setup that might include things like, mission objective, payment, completion time, etc. To make it worth while for the person or org who assembled the terminal, they could receive a small "post fee" or "post tax" or something from the people generating missions on the terminal. Maybe have the terminal also have a maximum range, like only showing missions on that planet? Or perhaps have it be system wide or larger, but make the missions sort-able by estimated distance/travel? I'm thinking that terminals, regardless of who built them, should share the information for ease of use and gameplay. 
 
Just imagining landing, then coming up to a terminal to collect payment for a bounty mission that I just ran for someone. I don't know, its after 2am for me and this idea just kinda popped into my head, lol. Apologies ahead of time if something like this is already mentioned. 

In space no one can hear you yiff

I love this, its super cute! 

I think it would be best for the community if this thread was ended. 
 
I would also add decisions like this are best left up to the developers, and not the community, as negative impressions can really harm the development team.

I'd rather pay a subscription any day, over worrying about buying into the game and worrying what they are going to have to end up selling to keep the lights on at the studio every month.
 
A subscription is a much stabler method of income for the devs, they can track the number of active accounts. see how much they can expect to make in a given month and budget effectively.
 
If they did a buy to play with a cashshop that might give them a nice chunck of change at the launch of the game, but then they are going to have to keep adding more and more and more into the cashshop to keep the lights on.
 
I'm done with F2P with Cashshops for this very reason, name 1 recent MMO that has managed this well. You can't do it, they all have dwindling populations of mostly whale players who only motivation to continue is the amount they have already invested.
 
A BtP and Cash-Shop also does not fit the content this game intends to offer in my opinion and I would strongly rule against it.

Stop it, I can contain this erection only for so long...

Well, I believe Darius has started working out the full on constitution for the TU, the rights of the people and powers of government.
 
Just as a recap, Darius lives in a EU timezone utc +1 I think, however still this is a global game so hes planning for a global playerbase.
 
The Terran Union is a full on national entity, Im sure theyll cover every range of game play. and by joining youll have access to additional friends throughout the syndicate.
 
Thanks everyone, check out and sign up for the Terran Union for a stable place to build, play, and socialize!

Thats not.. potentially creepy or anything. Thank you porco for reminding me to always be cautious around the Nightclub

*cough* Terran Union post in the forum *cough cough* under Gameplay/PvP/Interplanetary Tournaments *cough*

This is NOT the thing they have been working hard on, I was just feeling like doodling something. I know, i suck lol forgive me
 

 
again, it doesn't mean anything I was just killing some time and playing with tools
just tell me if you want me to take it down or something

"If you insist!"

Credit all goes to you Aetherios, I just bumbled around trying to explain what I wanted.  

It wouldn't make sense for them to sell ships in any capacity for Kickstarter, maybe blueprints?
 
Seeing as how it's supposed to take us several weeks or months to even build ships to get off the planet in the first place, giving out ships to kickstarter backers seems like it would cheapen that experience for everyone.
 
Blueprints I could see being bundled into a kickstarter, because I thought that all of us were getting some very basic starter blueprints when we first enter the game. 
 
As long as those blueprints couldn't be instantly crafted, and would require some skills (that take time to train) to build the components that make up a ship, I'm okay with that. 
 
 
Overall I'd rather them not do this, and not sell any ingame items like ship blueprints with the kickstarter. I'd rather see more out of game items being sold with the kickstarter, like shirts/posters/mugs/comics/art books/soundtracks/3d printed models/notebooks/etc. Things that we won't be able to get at any other point in time. 
 
What I'm really wondering is what the higher tier rewards will be. Will big donors get sooner access to the game? Will they be able to talk to the developers? Will they have things named after them in the game? 

There are some nations forming.
 
I don't want to speak of anyone else's behalf but csyn is trying to pull off a kind of eu feel though I geuss that's not really a nation in itself. It's tough though we have allot to figure out still. Csyn itself isn't so much an nation or guild itself it's a collective broker.
Even so I've got a lot to learn and together a tough road ahead.
 
I have hopes to work with everyone for making cities in Alioth relative neutral zones after a while and possibly the space stations around it.

There will be a nation. It will be called Astrum, and I will be it's Queen! *creepy laugh* 
 
In seriousness, I think it's possible that nations will be formed and ruled by more than 2 or so legate. 
 
Personally, I have very long term ambitions for a city, which would be a peaceful haven, and a war-free territory, and it's possible I'd want others to help with it, but sometimes power corrupts and it's best to keep the usual pyramid structure, at least for security reasons.
 
That said, maybe someone can start a Free People's organization where everyone has equal power and equal say in what happens. Could work, or perhaps it would be chaos, but who knows.
