PetraPrime Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello, I recently found out about du and am super excited! But want to do something while waiting for it to come out. So I was wondering what game would be the best to make and design ships for DU. My top picks are space engineers and empyrion. Will we need space to wire all the components together? Fuel lines, wires etc.? Or anything else we know at this point? I have read every thing I could before I asked, maybe we don't know enough to answer these questions. Thanks!

Lethys Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Try SE, though Du won't have the physics because it's meant as a MMO. You can find the latest AMA on dualthegame.com and one question was about electricity. It'll be ingame at some point so my personal (!!!) Bet is that at some Point you have to link everything with Power. Fuel and functionality of elements is just done via a virtual link (See videos of ship builds).

Sunrider44 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hi @PetraPrime, SE is a good reference. Empyrion is a lot inspired from SE, so I believe you can consider them as the same regarding ship building. Another game which is closer from the "voxel ship" experience is Avorion. It's a nice little game made by 3 guys. On the other hand, I don't think DU aims to become as accurate as Kerbal Space Program for the space sim part. Otherwise, you can make your own opinion watching the official atmo ship tutorial (and other ones): GunDeva and Hughesy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphia Regalia Aboleth Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Perhaps an avorion style editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many people who are using starmade as a placeholder for DU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thainz Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 From the Depths seems like a similar sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunDeva Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 The 2 closest Ship building games compared to Dual Universe I can think of would be Space Engineers and Empyrion they or both on Steam and you can use things like YouTube to see actual game footage and player creations ! Personally to me DU is a step way above both of these games and the systems they use but that my personal opinion and I cant talk about DU ship building system do to NDA but there or videos also out there like the Dev Diary's on ship build in Dual Universe and some of that still might change seeing we are in Pre-Alpha.

I'm with you on that! And the idea that there are so many other options players can explore such as open markets, bounty hunting and exploration!
