The whole thing is so wide open to abuse, it's pretty much meaningless

Sorry. I was being sarcastic....

[blazemonger]

you were also not wrong.. Having such a list open to the public, regardless of whether they play DU or not is silly.

The only reason I find for them to do that is to take into account people interested in DU but waiting the release or a better state of the game. Otherwise, yea it seams very lazy at least.

I just hope they don't get infuenced too much by the top players votes which could not necessarily be the thing to do at the moment.

Here's a solution to the mulitbox issue.... Allow solo players to use the same kinds of guns that gunners would in multi-crew ships. Problem solved. Unless it's not a problem...

The thing is...there's not that many votes lol.  

 

It'd be rather crazy to drive your dev priorities based on this (*cough* especially when they are planning on a 2021 release *cough*). 

 

It also gives them a lot of cover..."don't blame us for x,y,z feature or dev priority, that's what the community said in a vote that didn't reach statistical significance".

 

Now players can blame each other for not voting for the right feature instead of wondering what the heck NQ is doing to assert leadership over their own design.

Actually the topics chosen are kind of funny for the voting system.   Since some of them are things the devs want to implement as a "bad idea" because the players did something.   For instance this one:  https://upvote.dualuniverse.game/suggestions/122819/recipes-as-items-industry-balancing    You just know the devs are sitting someone thinking "we underestimated the players again", quick we need to implement something to slow them down.    Other cases of Lua container contents being added today: https://upvote.dualuniverse.game/suggestions/124923/lua-function-to-list-container-contents-and-quantity   which should have been in the first wave, rather than a later wave to leave it buried.

The Upvote page is a tick the box and have a " pretend to show we care about your opinion" exercise.

 

NQ has an internal roadmap which is leading for them and they will not deviate from that except for maybe some quick low effort items they can squeeze in..
