Welcome to DU! You're right near NovaQuark I see

Ooh I think you're our first Aussie! Welcome aboard!

Surely there'll need to be gravity repulsors right? It'd be a cool alternative to traditional spacecraft engines *wink wink*

Yes this is one of the big distinguishing points of Dual Universe that sets it apart from just about every other MMO out there. Exciting stuff!

Welcome to the forums, Ray!

Welcome to the wonderful world of DU!

The democracy. It burns.

Welcome Balkazarno! Glad to have you.

Hehee looks spectacular!! You all just love tormenting us with the wait don't you? <3 <3 Love the command center! By the by, I really enjoy the little constellations on the new website. They're interactive so there's something new for all you that haven't seen it yet!

Nope. Take a look at this paragraph from the "Multiplayer Ship Crew" devblog: Now, imagine combats. Besides the specialized weapons allocation to various crew members, the fact that the ship is a real object and not some formal 3D image allows for incredible things: partial structural damage that must be repaired (crew members racing to fix this broken hull ? FTL anyone?), but also even more exciting is the possibility to board another ship after having cracked open its hull. In my opinion, from an emergent/strategic point of view this is a very interesting alternative to the classical way of completely destroying any enemy ship during combat: instead, board it and take control! Note that we don?t know yet how much of this will be playable in the alpha or beta stage, but it will definitely be something we will support in the long term. So yes. Partial damage is planned.

I never understood how the Star Trek Enterprises could be piloted with just two touchscreens. I hope there's going to be HOTAS support.

D-1....

Well 5 days to go...let's see: Mid-2016 was supposed to be the start of crowdfunding I believe...so Comrademoco may be on to something. Could be first screenshots A 3d virtual sneak peek? Maybe the new forums A new music track A video??? Probably not. A ship model I don't know. But I can't wait!

Or it could be military countdown to D-Day (where D-6 means six days till something special!)

My goodness. What popularity with the imperial system. I guess all of us are power-hungry morons.

There's one picture on the Media section of the DU website: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/static.www.novaquark.com/img/gallery/04_hunter.jpg It seems like a zebra/gazelle (gazebra?) hybrid is being hunted by a player (with some sick gear) so I would definitely safely assume that yes, wildlife will probably be able to be hunted and used as resources.

Let's agree to disagree then *cough cough* I think you're forgetting the Millenium Falcon's design.

I mean, it would probably make sense to have all the art on these forums be related to DU in some way or another, otherwise it'd just be a kind of a big DeviantArt wouldn't it?

Hmm I see your point. Maybe a new section of the forum is in order, so that there needn't be so many rules to manage clutter and such. I do like the name "The Alioth Museum of Art" (not to be self-praising). A new thematic section for art would simplify and organize things that forum members would want to share.

Thank God.

Perhaps I should've just posted this directly onto this thread instead of on the Museum thread, but no it doesn't have to be. Just any art that you want to share that's related to DU. Not necessarily concepts only. Also I don't want this to be "Do I (Astrophil) want this to be anything" type of thread. I only started the thread, but it's supposed to be a community-run thread, so feel free to share whatever you want.

This is the comments section for the Alioth Art Museum. Here members can comment on or critique any art that has been posted in the Art Museum thread. Always be respectful when commenting or critiquing and be sure to ntoe which piece of art you're referring to when remarking upon it.

Welcome to the Alioth Museum of Art! Here you are able to share with the Dual Universe community your own pieces of artwork and browse pieces by other forum members. Please respect the following guidelines when visiting or submitting to the Museum: Please post only your own original artwork. Do not submit others' art under your own name without proper credit. Keep your artwork strictly SFW. This means no pornographic, inappropriate, or offensive material. Nudity and such are allowed under artistic perspective only. Please use proper judgment when posting. Keep your artwork to one post per person in order to minimize thread clutter. This does not mean one piece of artwork per person: You may edit and add as many pieces of art as you would like. Remember that this is an art thread, so please only submit art to the Museum. This constitutes drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, models, etc. Captions, titles, and other additional information about the artwork are of course permitted. Comments and critiques may be posted to the "Comments and Critiques - Art'' thread. Enjoy your stay at the Alioth Museum!

Welcome BatGojko! You can also just call Nyzaltar by Nyz. I'm sure he doesn't mind, do you Nyzzie?

I'd be in favor of an art museum thread for anyone who wants to add their own designs for anything from buildings to ships to clothes.
