They sort of address that with new PVE in this patch - besides dungeons, there are a couple new "outdoor" areas you visit. You can't fly there, but you can bring a sandbike.

They've mentioned that in the next big patch, they plan to address PVP and part of that will be creating no fly zones so that all DD PVP isn't just air combat or air ganking ground.

They just announced they plan to merge some low pop servers early next month. They’ll post the list in the next week or so. Their post mentioned if the server is merged, it will auto store vehicles and bases if the player takes no action, although I’d probably do it manually if you play to avoid bugs.

This weekend will also have double mining resource yield (ore, not spice) and double specialization xp and faction rep. People will get 35 mission credits also if they are below the 35 cap.

Developer Update – April 2026 » Dune: Awakening

Greetings, Sleepers!
duneawakening.com duneawakening.com

To further emphasize the PvE-first approach, we are making the following changes in Patch 1.3.20.0:​
​
  • All PvP zones in Hagga Basin will be disabled across all official Worlds.
  • All official Worlds will have separate Deep Desert instances you can choose from:
  • A PvE instance for pure survival and exploration experience with no player combat. There is no PvP in this instance across any of the rows, including Shipwrecks.
  • A PvP instance with the classic high-stakes environment and open-world conflict across rows B through I. To make sure the rewards match the risk, the yield from mining and spice harvesting will be multiplied by 2.5 in PvP areas.

Color me impressed, devs that actually listened and used the data they have to make a rather radical shift in their vision going from PvP to PvE.

Yeah, and I was prepared and in a way looking forward to starting over once self-hosting was introduced... but looks like I'll be able to just transfer.

That seems like a good compromise on DD - the 2.5x yield will make it much more efficient to get spice in the PVP instance of DD, so long as you can avoid or fight off would-be gankers

I am still hoping they develop PvP a bit more, though. Make it a bit more structured, make land vehicles like rocket buggy viable, and so on

If you run your own server does that mean the DD is just for you also?

Dunno yet, we'll have to see what running our own server even entails. Setting up a permanent outpost in the DD if you could kill the weekly reset since it's just yours would be fun to mess with.
