There's a lot of BOO in there, that's true. So what? We had the idea to do this for the community. We contacted NQ about it. We put long thoughts and effort in it.
As I and others of BOO don't have full mod rights on the DU discord, we can't properly run a mass test there - as we need to adapt to certain situations as we see fit.
This is a player organized mass test for DU to help the devs - there are no orgs in Alpha to me - nothing more. If you want to help DU, then feel free to organize a mass test yourself. Please contact NQ and BOO so we can figure out a timetable - we don't want such mass tests to happen at the same time.
I apologize. I didn't mean the comment as a negative against you or BOO. I don't suspect foul-play since you have taken the time to make sure that everything it done right and planned ahead of time. I was merely thinking that since we are already spending the time running organizations, there may be someone outside of all of that willing to oversee these tests. Other people and organizations would of course be able to help out to the extent that they are interested, but that way it would be completely independent. I had assumed that there were going to be mods or posts in game letting everyone know when mass testing was needed.
But regardless of what I said, this idea of having mass organizations during the alpha for testing or fun purposes has been mentioned and commented on before so don't think that you are alone in it's conception. Although you do seem to be the first that has actually began an effort to organize for it, please don't act like you are the only one who puts in forethought about the game, there are many dedicated people outside of BOO.

I think these should be led by someone not associated with an organization, maybe even a mod.
-
Not too many changes recently, there are a few new smaller organizations.
@yamamushi, @Kurock, and @Astrophil are amassing a large number of smaller organizations, not sure what they are up to with that.

There are so many awesome ideas in this post that it's overwhelming. Great job guys!
-
I too would like to eventually see other outfits and modifications of those outfits, either through dying and/or mixing and matching. But I don't think that the idea fits as well into this world as it would into say the WoW universe. We are all going to be space explorers from the same mothership, so realistically the uniform variety would be minimum seeing as everyone is the same rank. But ignoring that fact, it would be nice to see a variety of climate based outfits for people in different biomes as well as some way that you could differentiate different organizations at a distance just by what they are wearing.

Men and women generally stand the same.
Especially in a world where everyone may be machine-raised/genetically-modified.

Based on dev vids we know there will be moons however i dont know if they move or anything
"moons"
-
I would think that you could get away with stationary rings without breaking immersion, but it would be nice if there could be orbiting moons. Although I suspect that you would run into the same issues of planets orbiting a star.

On a side-note I'd like to be able to buy t-shirts and other merch.
Calm down Haunty, if you just want to throw your money at someone, I volunteer as tribute.

It would be nice if they implemented some kind of gifting option. For example you could buy a gold tier code and then give it to someone who could use it to get gold on their account.

I wanted to add a Comment on "DevBlog: LUA Scripting and Distributed Processing Units (DPUs)" but I can't. Is that Forum/Post somehow special?
I believe that topic is locked.

If you find the time, could you add this as a new paragraph to the wiki page on devblogs and devdiaries?
I tried, but whenever I submit my changes an error occurs. I tried both logged in and logging out but couldn't get it to work.
EDIT: Seems gamepedia doesn't allow normal users to add links.

Okay, so for 1.1.4 I cut out all of the 2 member orgs in order to gain some performance. I know there are a lot of you that are no longer going to be on the map, but it was seriously laggy. Just go invite a friend or family member and you will be on the next map. (Please don't just make alts. It's not allowed and a great way to lose reputation or your org.)
It seems that all orgs with Ardour as legate have "mysteriously" vanished. Not gonna comment more on that, but here are the orgs I noticed missing: Unity League, Galactic Exchange, Coming soon, AEF Counter Intelligence Agency, The Bulwark Treaty.
Cartagena is still being a pain and tying a bunch of orgs down. (Organizations should be allowed to be free! This captivity is a crime! Join Soul Nebula to be free of Cartagena's bondage!)
Would be interested in seeing how the community is growing. If only @Anasasi would update his charts... (the updated community page probably messed up his gathering method though)

Sounds like an interesting idea. Although I don't see a reason to post it four times in succession.
I was also pretty excited when I saw the amount of things that they were going to unlock in the LUA (although it may become more restricted later).

If you are skeptical about some game-play aspect or the game in general, don't pay to play it during the alpha which is going to be probably bug riddled and, as clearly stated by JC, only a small part of total future game-play. Just wait till you can hear from people who are in the Alpha and Beta phases to tell you what the game is like and whether the game is going to succeed from their perspective, according to the progression of the game development that is yet to be seen in constant updated detail. Also I have to agree with @Lethys; just wait for full launch and play the free trial period. If you don't think you will play the game, then you have lost nothing.
-
That was a good interview. It's always nice to see a rehashing of earlier discussions as the project progresses.
-
In my opinion, at least in Alpha the only reason to war will be to test any mechanics that are implemented. Since the servers are going to be worked on and reset, there is no long term gains by war and thus it will probably only be done for fun and to bug test. Once the full game is released the reasons will be the same as real life: struggles over valuable resources or land, trying to destroy the assets of an enemy, just plain power struggles for show or politics, and I guess for fun too.

Well automatic French CCing Google-translated to English doesn't work. Guess I'll just have to wait for that translation...

Shockeray, I wasn't intending on advertising. Ther has been another org created just after mine trying to replicate TVR and I needed to clearly state my intentions.
Which org is this? I see silver2127 in:
The Eternal Republic (Legate) [is this the new org you are referring to?]
The Eldritch Nation
Darius Sanguna Empire [former TVR I think]
DUA - Diverse Unified Accord
Terran Union

I mean, it would be awesome to use orbital mechanics for tactical purposes. Of course, that would make all the KSP players have an unfair advantage...
Unfair? I don't think that it would be unfair for people that know more to have an advantage. It just adds more depth to the game. Sure the rest of us have to work harder to catch up, but that just means there is more to do.

Coworker and I drove 2.5 hours to get the full totality experience, but it took us over 6 hours to drive back because of the traffic and multiple wrecks.
