Shadow Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hello Dual Universe, Quick question for Designers here. The lore says that our arkship was built in 2036 : ?You are in the hibernacle 6JKP-Sohan of the arkship Novark, built in 2036 by the United Nations." By the, we may ask why humanity rushed to build massive, crucial and advanced ships so fast while the armaggedon was planed for 2538, which let plenty of time to prepare. But that's not the question here. If the ship was built in 2036, we may consider that technology is quite similar to ours with maybe 15 or 16 years of new discoveries.However, the arkship hull is also built in kyrium, an impressive, unknown, matter. Nanoformer and nanopack technologies are quite impressive too.Thus, in 15/16 years we still got some good new technologies,. I've also hear somewhere about "warp gates" which seems out of range today. So we may ask if the game will take place in a very futuristic technological age, or if we will mostly use nowadays technologies with a drop of innovation to make space travel possible ? In other words, does Novaquarks follows Space Engineers rule of "plausible used in a few years" or will we see standard components like shields, laser weapons, interdiction fields and so on... ? ... or maybe, we may find new technologies during exploration... or "encounters" ?

Xenoform101 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Personally i think that was a typo, i think it meant to say 2536 instead of 2036 since the great collision happened in 2538 which would be 2 years later. Perfect reason to rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQ-Nyzaltar Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Oops. Errr... It was to check if someone will notice this inconsistency! More seriously, there was indeed a typo here. The arkship has been built in 2536, not 2036. Changes have been already done on the Dev Blog and the forum. The fix will be included in the v1.1 of the eBook (which was already planned with a few corrections). About technology: we will be nearer from EvE Online technologies than from Space Engineers technologies. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Best regards, Nyzaltar.

Shadow Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Indeed, 2536 seems more logical . Thanks for the answer. Regards, Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQ-Nyzaltar Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi everyone, As planned, a few minor errors have been corrected in the short story. (including the "2036" error, which is "2536" now) Best Regards, Nyzaltar. Kiklix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
