So, considering Discord is the widely used communications program throughout our community here, thought it would be a good idea to rally up some support to get a feature request to go through that every group here could benefit from. There are several threads on the Discord site for this so I listed below the best ones to vote for. (imo)
 
SHARE PLEASE - Just copy the link below and share it across any other discord servers you are apart of. 
 
EDIT (Use this one) - https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/13510158-add-ability-to-shout-talk-to-all-channels-for-larg
 
Channel Commander - https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/10590876-chan-commander-to-speak-to-another-commander-on
 
Note: There are some other threads made for this request, but this one is what we found to be matching what we think best suits our and DUs needs.
 
 
 
Granted, there are already several VCs that do have this feature, the point is to keep everything within one app versus spreading everyone across multiple communication apps. While we don't know specifics for DU in how communication will work, we do know that Discord isn't exactly friendly when it comes to large crowds in Voice Chat channels. 
 
If you can take the time to upvote that feature, we can bump it up on the priority list for the developers to get it going. It doesn't take any effort but signing in to your Discord account and clicking that upvote icon. 
 
Thanks,

Welcome to the Nexus



What is the Nexus?
The Nexus is a group of neutral organisations for those who share an interest in a specific area of Dual Universe. Members are free to join and leave these neutral organisations at any time. Membership in any of these organizations will not interfere with membership in other organisations inside or outside the Nexus.

What do the Nexus organizations do?
They serve as meeting places for anyone and everyone interested in that organizations specialty e.g. exploration The are a place to obtain guides on how to get better at doing that organizations specialty. They have job boards which have actual work for the organisations specialty which goes beyond normal market trading. Think player generated quests. The organisations have no physical holdings or assets so they cannot be attacked nor go to war or have anything to do with politics. In short, they are neutral places to relax after doing jobs, a place to find those jobs and a place to find out how to get better at doing those jobs.


Drillers Bar



Here at Drillers we specialize in removing things from other things. Mostly ores from the mines but we also remove turnips from the fields, scrap from abandoned stations and sticks from rears. Drillers are the frontline in any economy, and we are experts at prospecting too. Come join us at the Drillers Bar, where you can relax, complain, share techniques and frak the hell out of...everything.

DU Space Truckers



Do you like to trade? Do you like to put your legs up and watch the stars go by as you cruise through the galaxy, moving cargo from A to B? Do you like profit? If you said yes to any one of these, then join us at were we talk about the best trade runs and how best to avoid pirates. But mostly this group is about hanging out between runs.

Bullet Chain



I could not write anything for this crazy group, because I couldn't take a look inside for fear of losing, if not my life, at very least a limb or two. I was told they do "sanctioned wealth redistribution programs" and "space trash removal expeditions". But most just say they "blow stuff up" and for some reason they always add "at a price" and laugh. It's dangerous in there. Join at your own peril.

Fullmetal Aegis



There are warriors that are honorable and skilled. There are warriors that wish to protect the innocent and the weak. There are warriors that make the pirates pay for attempting to take goods, ships and lives. We are those warriors. Join like-minded individuals and trade stories of your brave battles against incredible odds. Join the honorable warriors.

Dual Universe Constructors Guild



We build. Everything from the smallest hovercraft to the largest space station. From the deepest mine shafts to the tallest skyscrapers. We build housing for the poor and monuments for the rich. But most of all, we build not just because we are paid, nor because we can, but because we must. Come construct with us.

Dual Universe Wayfarers



We fill in the blank spaces. The blank spaces on the star map and the blank spaces in the mind. We have two missions: To map the universe and to map our skill tree. Come explore the Dual Universe with us.

p.s.
While the Nexus is hosted by Cinderfall Syndicate, membership and administrator positions in these organisations may be held by anyone. Cinderfall Syndicate does intend to provide job boards and markets for these organisations within the Cinderfall Syndicate trade hubs to further aid their growth and sense of community.

New Issue #3
 

As much as I hate to be in any kind of agreement with the twerkmonster, I don't think that this is going to be the issue that some of my comrades think it will be.
 
I understand your point Kik and I do agree to some extent.  I do not want to be an elite that tries to intimidate others from scripting.  I actually might like to be involved in helping teach others what I can.  I just have to try my best to convince you that Lua is not what you guys think it is. It is not some high level programming language. Scrpiters won't have some mysterious God powers and be able to tap into the server at will and gain any info or anything that they want.  It's just not going to be like that.  Coders will only be able to manipulate what the developers decide to let them manipulate.  And I don't think the devs are stupid enough to make it so programmers can code everyone else out of the economy. 
 
They WILL have brains though. And if they are creative enough, and come up with something awesome that no one thought of before, then they probably should allowed to shine?  Right?  I mean, we're all here to have fun.  What if I build the bestest voxel hideout ever and it sells like hotcakes and I  become filthy rich right off the bat.  Might not other players accuse me of taking advantage of MY skill?  I mean heck, I've been building in LM for two years now.  I'm betting there will be some who would think I have an unfair advantage.  But how do game programmers program a player's skill out of the game?
 
Look If we find some God-like scripter out there who is wreaking havoc on the universe, eating up all the money and resources and cutting everyone else out, then to me  that just sounds like a really good target to pursue.  Take out his resources.  Reverse engineer his creations and undercut him.  Take control of his territory and stop folks from shopping there.  I mean if he's really got a monster hold on the market like that, then I'm betting that many other groups would find him a tasty target too.  There will be many ways that we, as players, can effect the balance of the game too.  It's not all up to the devs or the coders in the game. 
 
Well, that's my two cents anyway.  And now I think I'm going to run and hide before my Legate catches me and strings me up. 

No, don't do that.  I don't think your viewpoint lacks merit.  Merely IF it is an actual issue.  Giving voice to a possible concern is fine.  I just balk at the idea that something WILL happen unless it is changed or that it is alright to broad stroke an entire group of people and say we don't want change so we can hold some kind of advantage over others.
 
 
I too am under this impression.  However, I don't believe this game will fail over an entirely IMAGINED set of circumstances.  Complex coding and building is a STATED design goal. (Link here)  Novaquarks goals are VERY ambitious. Perhaps too ambitious, but they are clearly stated.  And Novaquark seems to think they can attract a large enough player base with these game aspects.  I agree.  
 
You keep equating that having the complex aspect of coding will somehow ruin the success of the game by driving away the player base or that it makes everything else secondary.  I believe that that in-game coding is a selling point and will ATTRACT more players not drive them away.  I also believe that people will focus on whatever aspect of play they enjoy most.  If that is coding then yes, everything else will be secondary.  If it isn't, then coding will be secondary.  

I'm not going to make any friends by saying this, but I don't think the LUA programming aspect should cater to the lowest common denominator.
 
There will be people in the game who are good at coding, so let them do the programming for the components that are sold on the market.
 
Making the programming aspects of the game cater to people who don't know anything about programming really just feels like another excuse to cater to people who don't want to have to interact with anyone else in the game ever. 
 
If you don't know how to program, find someone who does and pay them to do the work you need done, or learn how write code yourself. 
 
Sure there will be example bits of code provided for us, as NQ already stated, but don't cheapen the whole experience of programming by turning into a Visual Basic clone. 

Oh my gosh...
 

They said that scripting will probably work in both script and a "module/puzzle" sort of system. You simply can't make a module for every single whim a programmer can come up though, but a person with no LUA experience could probably set up a functional ship without having to go to a Jedi Programmer Temple to study the Arcane Arts of Coding
