  1. Welcome welcome. Step right in, mind the step, and enter the wonderful world of Dual Universe. *Not responsible for addiction, anxiety, or any health problems that may arise from constantly browsing and refreshing the forums to find more information.
  2. Ohh yess. The official terminology is "organization", about which you may find more information here --> https://devblog.dualthegame.com/2015/03/20/organizations-build-your-corporation-faction-nation-or-empire/
  3. Welcome to the DU family CodeGlitch! It's becoming a prolific one at that. Take a look through the forums and devblogs...I suggest starting by clicking the banner in my signature. You may find a home there, I don't know Enjoy! P.S. Nora, don't you dare say anything.
  4. “Your voice…is familiar…” “You chose it upon your departure from Earth. It is the resequenced voice of your fiancée, Stella Maris." Link: https://devblog.dualthegame.com/2015/07/31/dual-universe-part-1/
  5. I'd love to see Shack and Wasted join the forums so they can ask all the questions they need. It'd be cool to have them
  6. Actually, you won't. I don't actually think there's a limit on ship size, so the biggest ship possible is of infinite size, or as large as the servers can handle Have fun with that...and welcome to DU!
  7. Well...basically...you can't. But you can edit the post to your liking.
  8. No fault of yours The banner itself is linked, so if you click the image it will take you away to Wonderland...I mean, the thread.
  9. Welcome to the adventure! I'm sure your ideologies are shared by many here. Feel free to peruse these forums at your leisure, and check out all of the available organizations at the moment! I personally would recommend taking a look at a particular organization called Cinderfall, whose respective thread I've linked in the signature below Enjoy your stay!
  10. Honestly Nora, you seem to have tabs on every single member and thread on the forums. Welcome to Dual Universe, both of you!
  11. Welcome to DU! We look forward to further tickling your pickle.
  12. I would certainly be in for some good voice acting and dialogue, even if it is just Aphelia, who I am assuming is female.
  13. Welcome! I believe PC is confirmed (obviously), and NQ may actually look at developing for Linux, but I haven't heard anything about Mac OS as of yet. I will allow Nyzaltar to elaborate more.
  14. And of course this ties in with again, the character creation part of the game. Because if there's life support modules managing air consumption onboard a ship or in a building, is there really a need for spacesuits and oxygen helmets? Of course it's not planned for alpha, but I'm hoping that in the future players will be able to wear more than just suits
  15. In most respects, yes, it was terrible. The graphics were like 1990s, there was no story arc, there were no objectives or any purpose to the game. But for that reason, it was a good time killer. You could always jump in whenever and find a crew and start blasting away. No need to worry about money or completing quests.
  16. It's interesting because that could add even another additional layer of gameplay concerning strategic selection of which Arkship players spawn in. The first Arkship spawn areas available would probably be the most populated and most developed off the bat and in the future, but that would also mean rapid congestion and overpopulation, and thus high crime rates, taxes, costs of living. Other players may prefer a more remote location with a little more space and freedom and a little less players, but mayhaps could have a harder time surviving in the wilderness. It would be an interesting balance. One more tactical element is in play here that I won't mention now; it may or may not be a considerable advantage if utilized correctly.
  17. Quintet is another game, but it is very very primitive (you only get the exterior view of the ship, and predefined player roles), and the game community is essentially dead by now. It was quite good while it lasted.
  18. The image in the original post was only a header for posting purposes. You may see the actual insignia in the below signature. You may say it still remains a bit busy, but the overall effect is a lovely modern and geometric twist on traditional emblematic styles.
  19. Not sure if Nyzaltar saw this, but wondering if it would actually be possible
  20. I notice that you say interested parties can PM the FWA and be added to the list of "free sovereign states", but I wonder about individual membership. Can an individual exist as a member of the FWA, or is this for states, organizations, and/or collective entities only? We share our militaries for the purpose of civil defense, War time purpose's and Espionage against other Alliances like that other one on this page..*cough* Could you please clarify as to which specific organization you are referring? Also, to voice some specific concerns of mine, I'd like to gather a better idea of exactly what kinds of benefits a player would receive should he or she choose to assign him/herself under your interstellar nuclear umbrella. Perhaps the one thing I see is the "rights and freedom of individual(ists)", but an individual easily is already granted this inherent right without joining any alliance or organization, and undoubtedly to a greater degree at that. I'd like to gain a sense of any further benefits members would receive upon joining; if there are none and members would join based on a "cause", what might that cause be? Thank you for any advice or light you may be able to shed on the preceding topics.
  21. The Cinderfall Syndicate was once known as the Nexus Corporation, a well-connected paramilitary and research conglomerate at the forefront of experimental technology. Before we left our old homeworld Earth, the U.N. and various other governments around the world consumed resources, fought wars, and ravaged the land in an endless cycle of self-destruction until Earth had become a burnt cinder of its former glory. The Arkships were built as a scapegoat for these governments’ mistakes. They called the Arkship program “Project Rebirth”, advertised as salvation from the rapidly approaching HR 8210 IK Pegasi supernova’s child neutron star, but the star played no role in the U.N.’s program. Earth would have long been drained and depleted before then. Project Rebirth was a facade, a scandal to cheat the whole of humanity and cater to the elite. With the fate of Earth seemingly sealed despite its best efforts, Nexus embraced a final attempt to bring humanity aboard the Arkships: Project Cinderfall. The cybernetworking capabilities of Nexus were at that time second to none, acclaimed as the most advanced in the world, allowing Nexus to infiltrate the United Nations’ biased Arkship selection algorithm. What had once been designed to save only the corrupt elite now encompassed a diverse population across Earth. If the earth were the white hot flame of humanity, we are but cinders falling from our doomed homeland. Our new destiny: to rise again from the ashes, reborn as a Phoenix...

  22. You flew an Orca? I loved that ship...it was such a beauty, but expensive. Edit: I was referring to the Orca in Elite, not EVE. Slight bit of confusion there
