You're asking the impossible.  People will get upset no matter how honorably or dishonorably their builds are destroyed.  In the end they are out of a lot of time and work either way.  It's how you deal with it in the aftermath that matters.  Do you go into a red rage and make vengeance your main priority and go on a killing spree?   Or do you learn from the experience and spend the time sending out spies, building back up, changing tactics, running drills, planning the perfect plan and then go after your revenge? 
 
But here we are again.  Do either of these responses automatically make you a griefer?  Maybe, maybe not.  Could be that the pirates are the ones who "technically" get griefed the most often from folks who can't let go of their anger over a perfectly legitimate pirate attack.
 
I think this is another one of those things that will need to be taken on a case-by-case basis.  IMO that's one of the main things wrong with most societies.  Everyone wants blanket laws for every little thing and that never works because people are all different and no two encounters happen under the same circumstances.  It's an exercise in futility.

Speaking of laws, ask anyone in CSYN how hard it is to make laws/rules I can't poke holes in

Happy Holidays Everyone!!  Stay safe and have fun!!

 

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:
 

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.

The Outfit is still recruiting, players that just want to hang and have a good time playing together.  Come check us out today.

I agree with most of the sentiment here.  Griefing can be defined in many ways from person to person.  Killing a fellow player in a PVP game via the act of piracy is not griefing, IMO.  I personally plan on doing my fair share of killing (and dying) in this game.  Otherwise, I don't want to play.  I'm tired of vanilla games that cater to people who don't want any actual game play in their games.   IMO, if you don't want to die - ever - then don't play a game with PVP in it.  Simple solution.

I guess I was thinking that "this planet" would be rich in iron, "that one" would be rich in copper, and so on.  But if every single planet is abundant with every single resource, then you could be right.
 
And yes, if you want to try to survive out in the boondocks all by yourself, then maybe you can have all the iron you want.  But there will be plenty of people who don't want to live out there by themselves and will be fighting over those resources that are near civilization and commerce and taking them from those who transport them in from afar.  So I don't think it's ridiculous at all.  Unless of course we DO end up with star gates all over everywhere and have yet another game that nerfs this kind of game-play with fast travel.  If so, then my org is out of business before the game even begins.  But the devs are talking like it could take weeks to get from one system to another for the majority of us, so I believe that a lot of folks will be looking for an easier way to get resources than moving weeks away from everyone else.

But to do that you would need an elite, hand picked team to create some sort of crew or outfit... oh.

Hehe, yes, I believe there will be quite a market for smugglers and the like.   But I doubt it will be easy to be successful at it.  At least that's what I'm counting on.  And that brings me back to my main point, resources will be fought over - be it to own the areas surrounding them or by taking them from people who transport them, or by taking over stargates, etc.   I think many players will opt for warfare (or pirating) before they will choose the hermit life.
 
At least I hope so   Won't need space truckers, smugglers,or even pirates otherwise.

Hi. I'm Anonymous, and I'm a roleplayer. It's been 63 days since my last IC interaction...

Thanks guys!

For those spending hours mining  

Totally enjoyed these. Brilliant. What is it about space and music? 

Hi Folks,
 
I had some time on my hands to do my hobby. And I have to say this, it is fist time in my life I decided to share with you some tunes I've created being inspired by this game. Even created account on soundcloud, yay!.
 
I really like the music behind this project but I was trying to add more diversity. You know... some faction related stuff
 
Here it is, faction anthem.
 
Hope one day all my friends from Organisation will fly to it together

And this piece.. I would imagine yourself in deep space, out of oxygen, resources, energy but...

Apologies for some glitches, levels out of balance etc... This is very rough material, still trying to figure out how to record this properly from my moXF6. 
 
And if you got inspired, created some music, art, please share it with us!
 
Here is the link to entire collection I occasionally updating with new song:

Great group, I just recently joined a few months back and everyone is very nice.

Nay! Teamspeak is the realm of villains, demons and witches! Thou shalt dwell only in Ventrilo, wherest the righteouss find solace!
 
 

End of the Solar System Event!! 
Sat Oct 29th 4:00pm - Sun 30th 12:00am (MDT)

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.
