This is one of the games that I'm waiting on to 'mature' a bit. I like the concept, I like the graphics, and I wanna like the game..I wanna, I wanna, I WANNA. Mature faster!

Or maybe all that lies ahead is a cold, silent death in the deep reaches of (cyber) space.

Sounds like EvE Online clone #72. I wish them the best.

My advice to the developers of DU:  Forget the PvP stuff and revamp the voxel system.  Make it so you can build a something that doesn't require hours of fiddling with placement and rebuilding only to have to settle with how the voxel system mangled your nice straight lines.  Then add the ability to create curved surfaces, like a round or spherical fuel tank without simply superimposing a voxel structure over the desired rectangular structure.

My advice to the developers of DU:  Forget the PvE stuff and revamp the PVP system.  Make it so you can attack something that doesn't require hours of pre work with placement and rebuilding only to have my dreams destroyed with a run on sentence.  Then add the ability to pvp more, like a giant area where the only thing that you can do is pvp, i would love that.

Yeah I'd check it out if it had a decent amount of PvE.

Call me a coward but I have no stomach to build things over hours with enthusiasm and finesse only to have it destroyed by another player in minutes. I think that scenario isn't for me. Wish the game all the best but it's not for me.

Played since early alpha as a kickstarter backer. The game changed direction "A LOT" and went from something I enjoyed to something I almost hated by launch. It used to have planetside gameplay, like the ability to actually physically mine resources out of the ground, now it's all automated with extraction units you have to log in to recalibrate every three days. So mining was basically removed from the game. (Aside from a few select asteroids.)

The voxel system is a "NIGHTMARE" to use in this. To make anything even remotely good looking expect to spend WEEKS fighting the godawful voxel tools to get something to look the right way, and in many cases, it's physically impossible if you dream too big. Also the developers removed on foot combat, AND planetside combat, so all that remains is space combat.

The game was pitched with grand ambitions, and delivered on NONE of it. This game won't last more than a year I suspect. It was all my last ever use of kickstarter, I no longer think games should be developed by crowd funding, as 99% of them fail to deliver. (The only kickstarter that ever turned out to be a good decision for me was shovelknight.)
