Entertainer and funny as always Frigo. Hilarious that you Like all your own posts as well. Glad you moved here too [from LM].

I was planning on providing some tools once the documentation is out. Something of a widget maker that has drag and drop components, add your own graphics, maybe add some LUA and it spits out the code required (most likely some form of XML) for use in game (widget). Basically a Design Your Own Interface application. Now I just need to be in game and get some documentation when the time comes.
 
Aside from that I'll mostly being scripting in this game and handing them out like candy to be reviewed, used, and improved upon. =)

I'll probably doing more building than anything else.  The tools I saw in the video they released yesterday got me really excited.  It's such a nice, clean interface and so far, the tools look quite user-friendly.    So I'll probably be using a lot of your widgets.
 
You might actually get along pretty well with my brother, FryCaptain.  He is a programmer IRL and jumped on LM's L&T and had a lot of fun with that.  He just joined COPS the other day and I think he's actually working on his signature banner as we speak.  He's planning to pop in and add to the discussion soon.   He's already talking about scripting an AI.  So he's pretty excited to get in too.

Ok, I'll just continue on with my own thing then.  Let me know if you decide to take me up on my offer for the site and/or to help with signature banners.  I would like to participate, if possible.

Things are moving faster than I anticipated. I think a private place will be good for us, but at the same time I think it is important for the rest of the world to see positive activity on the official Dual forums as this helps to educate new people to Dual especially because Dual is such a unique game. I have absolutely no issues with an offsite forum but I think we should be careful to that and not remove ourselves from this forum.
 
I think I would prefer that for now, if we need to talk as a guild that we get people into chat of some form. Give a weeks notice let say,  on x night at x time or something. Probably a Friday night or weekend or a time when most might not be working due to our many EU members. Most "official organization" chat is going to be dealing with internal stuff anyway.
 
That being said. As the days count down and we get closer to alpha, then beta, then launch and especially at launch I think a guild only site that is locked down to only members will be a good thing to do exactly what you described with style guides and coordinating some of the larger projects...but due to our nature this will not be forced on anyone and only a suggestion for those who want to work on larger projects.
 
I have had a number of offers today for web hosting and team speak hosting and I would like to have a  meeting with everyone at some point to ensure we are all on the same page before I commit to anything, we are in this together.
 
I am glad so many of you are taking up responsibilities to help get this ball rolling. As I have said to many, right now I am just waiting to see what happens but these offers and suggestions will be accepted and moved upon soon.
 
I'll tell ya what I really want right now, an online editor for people to make their own signatures in our format. I love working on these, but I am going to have to make them a bit more generic as the days go by due to how many I need to crank out. Outside of the fact I would like to see personal builds from inside dual on the signatures in the future. I think its the most honorable thing to do, to showcase the work the individual as done from inside Dual Universe.  I don't know if such an online editior is possible and I am sure it would be a boat load of work, so really its more of a dream than a desire.
 
Anyway, I am ranting now. I need to eat. Be back in a bit.

So will there be a Corps of Engineers (LUA and widgets)? That will be the regiment I'll be joining.

Glad to be here Lady Astrum. I look forward to experimenting on Stargates, in hopes of collapsing the universe on itself, but that can wait while I loot and pillage.

Wow!  I can't believe we have so many members now!  Awesome!  Welcome everyone! 

It's certainly a possibility 

By the way, Kiklix, I will seriously think about some communication channel, like private forum, slack, discord and so on. Maybe it is preemptive, but we grow fast and we soon will need something to discuss in more comfortable (and more private!) conditions
 
EDT: I can help with that.

As long as you collapse a Universe I'm not currently occupying, it's all good! 

A very warm welcome to our latest COPS members:

Great to have you onboard guys! 

I thought the planet looked smallish, by no means a criticism at all. But that's in relation to the size of the station. Either way I love it. I've been wanting purpose and building to co-exist for a while. Although Minecraft does provide purposeful building, as we know, it by no means provides the level of detail a game such as this can provide.
 
I imagine a determined and relentless organization could eventually come to dominate a planet if they have the numbers and ambition to do it.
 
It is a sexy looking hand that's for sure
