Bad games goons have an org - some of us have been playing for a long time. e: The game is absolutely chock full of armchair lawyers, ceos, physicists, you name it that quickly reveal themselves to be idiots that you can blow up easily for fun. I do highly recommend brushing up on your parabolic and kinematic eqs, or at least watch a youtube video that goes over classic motion, to assist your shipbuilding. Being able to plan your torque from adjustor placement and the ability to do a TWR calc will save you tons of anguish. FireWhizzle fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Aug 19, 2020 |

Forgot to mention I've encountered quite a few people that have tried to use EVE goons' name as qualifiers to speak on subjects. There's a few that "know the mitanni" as well, which usually fall in to the category of "idiots that you can blow up easily for fun" I've heard "the inside scoop" of the bob story from like 5 different people so far FireWhizzle fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Aug 19, 2020 |

Sachant posted:So is it any good? I've been playing for about a year now - and its been very fun. The game scratches everything from minecraft to eve for me and I can choose when I want to do either.

Fear not - there will be many more gold-rushes! There is another going on right now. Wrecks returning soon will be a good'n.

Freakazoid_ posted:Are they literally using the wrong materials, or is this another case of efficient borg cubes being the best pvp design? Most people make their ships from aluminum because its the least used and most excess t1 material, or plastic for colors (neat!). Coincidentally, its also awful armor.

Silmerias posted:Internal conclusion announcement of these few days of 'beta' testing from the french goon related organization (FrogSwarm) : Thank you for your constructive post Dual Universe J4G Silmerias. I would have to disagree - the server stability has improved significantly over the last 2.5 weeks imo.

Sadly the industry API is not much more useful than on/off commands. You can use this to restart things to fix the server bugs, which is nice. You can also check container masses if you know whats in them if its just 1 thing.

Harminoff posted:One thing to note though is that I'm pretty sure the LUA code is client side, so you wouldn't be able to just create a script to automate it all and walk away. You'd have to have someone there for the script to run off of. Wire up a programming board to a state holder like a switch, then have that switch be activated by a detection zone. It will stay loaded as long as someones in render range and be able to change hands.

Nalin posted:Silmerias has been around for many years. I have no idea why he has an Aug 2020 account. But his criticisms of the game are valid (although the stability concerns are largely resolved as of now). The game honestly needs a lot more work before it is anything but a fancy building sandbox. It's riddled with bugs and sploits - still very alpha. It's a fun game though and a novel thing to poke with a stick.

Silmerias posted:At least the most rated feature is usable !  They have a crack team of people that they are going to pay CAD/Euro to search for, evaluate, and delete your space dongs. This is reasonable and within any company's budget of course.

socialsecurity posted:So is there any pve at all in this yet. And if not and it's pvp how active is it so far? No, the game features are: hit rock sell rock build voxel fly sometimes pvp (but there are tons of bugs/features to get around this atm so you don't have to) Unfortunately for the time being, the Devs/Staff seem hell-bent on making the game a very safe place. If you like playing space minecraft though its really fun

FileNotFound posted:Official forums and discord would paint a different picture - of PvP being widespread brutal and killing the game and devs enabling griefing or at the very least turning a blind eye to it. I know, I'm one of the people out there smashing everyone. The safe mechanics are legit silly atm, but I'm sure it'll get ironed out at some point. The only reason you should get shot up is for being an idiot. Steps to never lose anything: 1. Install a space radar 2. Install a warp drive 3. Have a few warp cells, 1-5 should do it 4. As you accelerate away from a planet or decelerate towards a planet, have the planet locked with your warp drive. 5. If bad guys show up, just press warp and do your travels later or at another angle from the planet. It will cost you at most 100k to save your millions ship and cargo contents. This is not a bug, not an exploit. This is how warp drives currently work. You can do this to safely spool up to 29,999km/h where it is pretty unfeasible for humans to get you mid-transit - especially if you burned like 20 off planet before starting.

2DCAT posted:All I do is PVP. I PVP so much that I question whether there is actually any voxel building in the game. Pls add PVE content tia I think they are. They already implemented a wreck-salvaging game loop and there are rumors of actual pve but we'll see  .e: on the upside its a great time to safely test things out:

Burt posted:I am interested in playing this and I have bought a sub but trying to download it and the installer keeps disappearing? Is that normal? Playing DU itself can be a challenge.. did you try the usual run as admin, install on C drive only, etc?

Mr. Pickles posted:I recall the vision for this game being super hype about some kinda groundbreaking awesum possum netcode they had which would dwarf all other games and achieve peace in our time all the voxel data was plaintext json blob served over https via cloudfront lmao.. just an edge node nightmare firehose of accidentally cached data they also forgot to google redis or memcached i guess for their roles / perms sytem as its still somehow snail slow after years of "dev"
