i think you meant to make it 365 days and not 3650 days.. right?

nevermind! just found nyzaltar's post mentioning there will be.

i propose an idea that many will probably like. will there be jetpacks in the game?

yeah, when you capture places in DU, the zones on planets will be devided by hexagons (except one zone on it) and when you capture them you have to capture some territory control beacons and place them too. and apparently spawn beacons will be very expensive to make.

or you could make computers like in minecraft lol.

using the actual soundtrack was my idea but then it would spoiler the game so i thought they should put a nice, quiet website-specific soundtrack in the background. there is another game that utilizes this very nicely which is why i got this idea.

i have a friend that runs on linux.

kiklix, moco is part of the alliance of free worlds. he has joined our ranks recently.

yeah, PLUS! it adds the factor that when a ship is abandoned in space, some random player could come across it per chance and have great fun exploring it. and maybe repair it again. i dont see why spaceship voxels would be so much different to planet voxels. the only thing that makes them spaceships are the cores.

if you build it, he will come..

maybe you should add an extra section on the forums for clan recruitments. that would relieve the arkship pub section which should be for introducements only. not for recruiting purposes.

just an idea, you can put background music to the website.

wasn't a mutinity from my side per se. just the guy was deemed 'unreliable'.

There was a change in the command structure. the co-founder was "disempowered". so now we are ultimately 4 people and we could use someone to make a flag for us if someone has the skills? shoot me a message.

when being hit and damaged by something, will spaceships and buildings actually lose a chunk of their voxels? or will the objects disappear entirely?

well we are recruiting for new people. now we are 4. we want to band together and begin playing as soon as people will be able to play. that's why i opened the first public group in this game for this reason. do you want to join?

i sent you instructions how to join in private.

well the open beta will probably open up around 2018 but you can already join our group. maybe by that time we will have many more players already.

thanks for clearing that up phil!

Alioth is the name of a city in the game Elite. maybe you'll want to consider changing it?

Welcome to the Alliance of Free Worlds (AFW)! Our goal is to bring peace and stability to the universe. Either by force or through diplomacy. We will protect our freedom at any cost! Our motto: >>UNITY IS STRENTGH!<< As we try to live up to its standards. We are an Alliance-empire. Our aimed attributes are: Permanent advantage to other groups Freedom of the individual Strong presence within the universe Being well organized An elaborate infrastructure among our colonies (we plan to connect all our colonies with stargates) We are still small and aim for new members at the moment. We are of course aware there will be half a year timeframe between the first playable alpha and then another year until the open beta, but this gives us enaugh time to actually form a decend sized player base. So feel free to hit us up. As you can see i am a member of the alpha team so i will have some ingame experience and intel ready to coordinate our group better for when the game opens. If you are interested in joining, you can't miss us! We are wearing the empire's banner in our signatures. Our command structure: Our members will be devided into three branches, otherwise called "sections". Based on my loose knowledge about the game, these branches will be: LeaderBranch 1: Civil matters (This includes every freeroamer in our empire as well as colonizing new worlds and building our infrastructure - like power and food supplies) Branch 2: Military (Building military installations and ships, commanding our soldiers & troops) Branch 3: Resource harvesting (everything that has to do with gathering resources and keeping our empire steadily supplied) If there is something like a dedicated research branch in the game, there will be a fourth section, the resesearch and developement section. A player will be appointed section leader and all section leaders plus emperor then form the council That council will make the empire's government. Each branch leader will be in direct control over the players below him that are part of his branch and will be in command direcly below the emperor. A section leader will be free to take decisions for his section at his own discretion. Big empire wide related matters are however to be decided by the council. As example the section leader of the military branch can decide on his own to make military bases, build ships or send someone on military missions. But in order to declare war, a council meeting has to be called in to collectively decide whether we want to initiate a war against a group or not. If more than 50% vote for declaring war, then war will be initiated. If we get a 50/50 vote count, the leader decides what happens. Being a section leader requires alot of responsibility and thus i will hand-pick the section leader carefully based on his performance and accountability in the game as well as his experience with the game and maybe other games of that kind. The empire leader is the council chairman. Every council member has the right to suggest an action or a council meeting to the chairman. The council has the right to make decisions independently if the chairman is absent at a critical moment. As you can see the authority will be evenly spread out among the council. This prevents an abuse of power. It's a mix between monarchy and democracy. Why choosing this system? The monarchy part grants us a maximal control of our resources while the democracy part grants the players the freedom they desire. If you are interested in joining us, don't hesitate! Just shoot us a message in this thread! The use of the official empire signature is greatly supported! http://imgur.com/uJR4j9k -The founder and leader of the AFW, Slaxx https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/alliance-of-free-worlds

ok thanks nyzaltar!

The screenshots surpassed my expectations by far. my initial reaction was that i thought the pics were artist mock-ups but then i quickly noticed it's actually in-game screenies i immediately thought "ok, this has definitely sold me out." first there was some doubt about how good the game could become but upon seeing the screenshots i am now certain that dual universe will become a very good game and has alot of potential for future additions. my second reaction was regarding to the engines of the ship. novaquark, big f-cking respect to you for these engines! they actually look really nice! much wow. nice and big, just as it should be! my third reaction was regarding the planets noticing how much freedom you have there. you can just walk around in a huge forest like in reality and get lost. or you can build a bunker in one of the mountains with a tunnel exit ending in the forest. the possibilities here are endless. overall, nice work novaquark!

too much excitement, cant breath!

welcome aboard hydro! you saw riddick, awsome!
