BliitzTheFox Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Now this game is going to have a lot of people in it from various backgrounds. I'm willing to bet that some of those people will like large spreadsheets, online data tools, or other programs made by a Dual Universe API (Possibly but that's a different topic); furthermore, there will be a large amount of websites dedicated to in game organizations and the most convenient way for all of this is to have an in game browser, much like Eve Online. Now the Eve Online wasn't chrome, but it got the job done and was light and fast for being in game. This would also allow in game hyperlinking to external websites. I don't see any problems with the concept, at worst could be using a little computer or network resources, but I think those would be negligible compared to the benefits. yamamushi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamamushi Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Probably won't be something that happens at launch, but I can see them adding it further down the road as the game stabilizes and people want more shiny things.

Ashron Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 While the idea of an IGB is nice, CCP did remove it from the Eve client as it required a fair bit of work to do and a certain level of upkeep. I would rather see NQ commit resources on projects making the game great in other aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicpar Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 NQ uses a GUI engine that fully supports .Net thus can host a browser without any effort whatsoever (you still have to make the window border but I assume they already did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 How hard is it to alt tab, I would prefer to use chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicpar Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 How hard is it to alt tab, I would prefer to use chrome alt tab can create quite some in game instability by forcing the game in the background during important calculations, and fixing that is harder than implementing a browser.

Raiden Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I liked EVE's in-game browser. Maybe they could add it down the road. Alt-Tab to Chrome works fine for me for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underhand Aerial Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 How hard is it to alt tab, I would prefer to use chrome If you are happy cuz your weak PC is able to start DU and you can play with 20FPS doesn't mean that you are able to tab out. Well you can still do it but you will need 30secs for tab out and again 30 to tab back. and to start chrome you will need some seconds again. Well with a good pc it isnt a problem but not everyone have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limyaael Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 If you are happy cuz your weak PC is able to start DU and you can play with 20FPS doesn't mean that you are able to tab out.

Well with a good pc it isnt a problem but not everyone have one. It's especially relevant as NQ are aiming for what's high-end today spec wise. So unless you have the equivalent of the GTX 980/1070 and i7 4790K (or higher) by 2018 alt-tabbing will probably take forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFaul Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 There will be some sort of browser they already stated that. Players will be able to program their own GUIs and that is going to be most likely html/CSS or they build some custom lua libs but since that would need a lot of work a .net or chromium integration would be a much easier, elegantly and likely solution.
