Had a great time yesterday! Deepnature was the last man left standing! We had a space battle and a dog-fight on the planet. One of our newest members, Dilectos, almost took Deep out, and probably would have had he been playing longer. So congrats to both guys for doing a great job! Here are a couple of screenshots of the action: Dilectos has Deep on the run, thought for sure he was going to kill him! Fry is in one of the ships named Dilectos. I am almost out of ammo and am about to die. It was a BLAST! Thanks to all who attended!

Probably be a lot different if there were more options in the poll. No shades of gray offered at all, which is why I didn't vote for either. There are already plenty of vanilla games out there to play. I'm bored with them all. Want something with a little more excitement. If I have to have the TV on while playing a game, that means my game is not engaging enough to entertain me on its own merit. Not exactly a goal that game developers should be shooting for, IMO.

I want both. Some days I'll want to be left alone to build in peace and other days I'll want to do some good ole fashioned warmongering.

Not worried either.

End of the Solar System Event!! Sat Oct 29th 4:00pm - Sun 30th 12:00am (MDT) http://www.dualcreatives.com/events/ http://www.dualcreatives.com/forums/topic/end-of-the-solar-system/ This is it folks. Scientists have determined that our Sun will explode on Sunday afternoon. So we are going to have a final epic battle on Saturday night! Everyone is invited! Who will be the last man (or woman) left standing? Capital ships, weapons and ammo will be provided to anyone new to the server who wants to attend. Basically, we're wiping our Empyrion server on Sunday. We're adding new planets to explore and a higher level of difficulty. So if you were thinking of joining an Empyrion Server to bide your time until Dual's Alpha launches, there isn't a better time to do it! Just PM me for server details.

We will have voxels and scripting. I'm sure that players will be creating some awesome things to explore and find. When I played LM, games like this were one of the first things that folks started making. And that's when the L&T was nothing more than a crude (and almost futile) exercise in binary code. So it will happen. And if it doesn't, there will be nothing stopping you from making it happen yourself. Except maybe pirates

Welcome Alayna! Yes, this game looks very exciting. I too am looking forward to the building aspect of it. We're actually looking for some builders to join our organization. So far we have a lot of fighters, but no one has yet signed up to help us build our settlement. You should check us out when you get a chance. https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/the-outfit PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks Xplosiv! Yeah, we're going to try to remain a relatively small, elite team. I'm in this to make some actual friends, not rule the universe.

BTW, the IP address has changed. It is now 85.190.157.206:20800

We're going to be doing a big server wipe on our Empyrion server this week sometime due to the update to version 4.x. We're adding new planets, new enemy bases and upping the difficulty level. If you ever thought about joining us to kill some time before Dual launches Alpha, then next week would be a great opportunity to do so since we'll all be on an even playing field. PM me for all the details! I also built us a home base so we're not all scrambling around in the beginning looking for a safe place to stay. Here's a little preview:

Hi EikeSky! Welcome :-) Sounds like you belong with us in the Outfit! Your alignment seems perfect and we are looking for a few more dedicated pilots (who's main duty will be ship building and piloting the ships in our fleet). And no one understands real life commitments more than we do. All of us struggle with it from time to time so you'll fit right in. Check us out and let me know if you have questions. https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/the-outfit#tab-description

Thanks guys!

We are The Outfit! We are The Outfit! - DU's First and Oldest Space Trucking Organization. We are a small group of outcasts including, traders, smugglers, merchants, rogues and like-minded entrepreneurs. Some might even call us pirates from time to time. But those are their words, not ours!! Mostly we just take the jobs we can get and we do what we have to do to survive. We WILL make a name for ourselves in this strange new sector of space in which we all find ourselves stranded. And we are currently recruiting! The Crew: We are going to build a strong fleet of ships and are in need of dedicated players who are interested in participating in PVP related game play to assist in our transportation services and related PVP activities. If interested, you can learn more on our website: https://dualtheoutfit.com/the-crew/ Settlers: The Outfit is not just a crew of people looking to make a living off our our trade skills and our fleet though! We are also looking for a few brave players who are interested in staking a claim with us in this brand new Universe. The benefits will be numerous. If interested, visit Our Settlers page for all of the details. https://dualtheoutfit.com/settlers/ Freelancers: For those who would like an even more casual relationship, these new positions might be just the right fit! Freelancers deliver customer shipments, run security, or mine for us on a contractual basis. Learn more here: https://dualtheoutfit.com/freelancers/

Yeah I can't believe we had such a good turn out. Much better than expected. I'm starting on a hovercraft racetrack tomorrow so maybe it will be ready by next Friday.

Our first meeting was a great success with a 53% attendance rate. I am very thankful to all of you who joined us! We have lots of great ideas on how we can better our organization and I can't wait to get started implementing them. Thank you all!!

Yes, it is very exciting, isn't it? That's why I supported this game. If they try and fail, so be it. But I'd rather support the people who are trying to push the boundaries of what can be done instead of the guys who are doing the same-ole, same-ole. This game fits that bill and I am very excited about what I have learned so far. Is it a risk? Sure. But this team just might be the one that pulls of something new after so many years of the mundane. I'm keeping my fingers crossed until release

Well, from what I have learned this is new tech that they have been working on for years before they even started working on the game itself. I doubt any of us would know too much about it except what they tell us at this point. I have faith. They don't seem like liars to me, so until they prove that they actually are, I will choose to believe it is possible. Somebody is going to figure it out some time, so why not these guys?

I think you are right. While most of us here can certainly wait until the right time to get CVC, not having it at launch will do nothing to entice new players into the game. So it might be a slow start. Hopefully they will have a lot of marketing planned just for the release of that expansion - as much, if not even more, than the actual live release. And I am also concerned about all of the more casual players who get used to living in relative peace in safe zones who will fight CVC once they start talking about launching it. It will change the game and many will already be comfortable with how it is and will do their best to try to talk the Devs out of adding it in. Seen it happen before. I'm in for the long-haul either way. If this game ends up being half of what they plan on making it, I'll probably be very happy with the game. I just hope the Devs don't buckle under pressure when the outcry comes. Seen that happen before too.

Hi Eminio! Welcome

As happy as I am for character customization, I wish it were CVC instead. Hopefully they won't wait to put it up as another stretch goal when they get their new payment processing set up. I can't imagine having all these space ships flying around and not be able to fight them. And I'm not even really a fighter. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Ok. Would be great to have you there for both. Hope you can make it

CVC MUST happen! I think this is a critical element of the game and am actually surprised it is a stretch goal. Otherwise: 1. Third person viewpoint 2. Survival elements (Farming, hunting, cooking - food for buffs, etc.) 3. Character customization (outfits, hair, skin tones, etc.) 4. Ability to customize signage, logos/names for our ships, etc. 5. Moving parts: joints, rotors and pistons 6. Decorative props - preferably individual pieces that allow us to build our own props in game would be best (for instance, don't give us an entire lamp post. Give us the individual pieces of a lamp post so we can build many different props out of those parts). 7. Weather Not sure these are in the exact order of importance because the first few are pretty much of equal importance to me.

Howdy Outfit members! We are having our first meeting. Not all of you have signed up at our website yet, so I wanted to make sure you could read it here too. We will be having two separate meetings in order to try to accommodate as many members' time-zones as possible. You can attend one, or both. But regardless, it will go over the same topics. Meeting #1 Wed Oct 12th 9:00pm - 10:30pm MST Meeting #2 Thu Oct 13th 7:00am - 8:30am MST More details are available on our events calendar and on our private member forums. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions and I hope to see you all there!

Yay! I was just looking at that too. Was worried for a couple of days. Now I'm thinking we might have a chance for the first stretch goal!

I would like to see a variety of outfits to wear other than a space suit. Personally, I want a sci-fi/steam punk get up. (I know, not asking for much, lol). The more options we have in this regard the better it will be for role play.
