It would be pretty cool to have locking systems that open due to different scriptable passcodes and passwords. This would add a good measure of security to your bases and maybe secret rooms, etc.

Yes! I just want to run around the Arkship waving around my pillow like a crazy person. However, I think that would increase the stress level of some people 

Special thanks to Aetherios for doing all the hard work in putting out Band of Outlaws' logo! 

Game Night will be kicking off again this Saturday, game is undecided however (should have something by end of today). Stellaris was fun to play through, but I'm going to be leaning towards popular free to play games for those whose wallets are sealed shut.
 
I have also enlisted the help of one of our European timezone members to assist with scheduling a separate time for our EU guys to have their game night. While we will try to keep both the EU and US times close, this will work better to accommodate both sides for gaming, rather than trying to work with both at the same time. So we'll see how it goes.
 
Lastly, this Friday my server host will be upgrading their servers, and this obviously includes mine. Teamspeak will be down until Friday night/Saturday morning, and I will more than likely have a new IP for it. I'll try to get that new address to everyone prior to game night.
 
Thanks,

COPS video intro.
 
​This is my second time to use After Effects and first time mixing audio so this is probably subject to change. Fun stuff, tons to learn. Enjoy.
 
​********WARNING: TURN DOWN SOUND...MY AUDIO MIXING IS BAD********
 
 

I'll be releasing details for next Saturdays Game Night here in a few days. That said, I will be enlisting the help of one of our EU guys so we can hold two separate times to accommodate our split timezone member base. I hope this works out better for everyone, and that we'll get some more faces to show up.
 
Also, COPS is currently almost finished with our website/forums. It's been a tedious process trying to get it just right, and I really hope everyone will like it!
 
Thanks,
Cybrex

Had a good Game Night again tonight, Stellaris turned out to be a pretty fun game to run with. Thanks again to everyone who showed up! Next week we'll be doing another, and as always, anyone from the DU community are welcome.
 
Thanks,

I just had an idea, wouldn't it be awesome if we could have our own personal hover board. A fun way to traverse planetary environments that looks like we're "surfing" the land. Just a thought, like I'm sure there could be some way the devs could put in some hover technology and a means for propulsion that's not too large for said hover board.

Let's just say you'll at least have one guaranteed customer   

I like it! Don't give me ideas! 
 
EDIT: Too late!

Hoverboards aren't exactly my style.
 

This however was one of my favorites as a kid.

Pillows as melee weapons
have a stress level bar and pillow fights reduce the stress level
also serves as a pvp alternative in the arkified zones

Should be a minigame called 'Dual Universe's Got Talent'. A way to entertain the masses with an over-glorified show and tell. We could even have News segments and platforms for political debates and such. Actually, it's looking like we're going to need a whole television system here with real players to run it. I'm starting to think I should make my own organization, the Coalition of Broadcasting Stuff (COBS).

And, puppet cats. 
 

And don't forget. The DNA/ID harvesting should be something expensive as well, so the whole process won't be mandatory but an investment in security and check of the background of a certain person. Gameplay wise that is. If an begrudging engineer who has been belittled decides to sell his name and identity so an infiltrator could find access in a Battleship and plant some explosives, that should be an emergent gameplay asepct. To that extend, Black Ops operationswould become costly, due to the resources going into these things and not simply just a Spec Ops who is called Black just because Black is cool.
 
 
Black Ops are paranoia fuel. You don't know if the silent guy in teamspeak, who claims he doesn't got a mic is an infiltrator. It creates the need fora community to be bonded and interact, instead of simply having an organisation roster. Interactivity will be the only deterent for an infiltrator's short access. The long con is only an aspect of the infiltrator's mental fortitube to keep a straight face and don't "go native".

I'd be down for a free t-shirt Xorkil

Hello my COPS Coalition friends!
 
Pleased to reveal COPS has it's first prototype t-shirts! Once we're closer to release of Dual Universe, we can make arrangements for those who would like to have one!
 
Might be useful at a NovaQuark/Dual Universe convention at some point 
 

Wait ... this isn't a Coalition of Snugglers?

So much positivity in this coalition of Pirates ... I'm loving it!

A recent theory circulating around the scientific community in regards to space travel is the use of light as a propulsion method to reach great speeds (around 30% the speed of light). What if in-game we could create light/laser stations to propel lightweight space crafts within a closed system of planets. This could create a kind of interplanetary highway if you will and be a method of transportation while subsequently becoming the centerpiece of the economy within a planetary system. 

The logo on my banner is too small and people may think we're the Coalition of Pirates & Snugglers and we all know how much people like to snuggle, thus the influx of new members.
 

Hello and welcome to the forums! Ruins are definitely an awesome idea as it can contribute to the lore and history of the universe. Look forward to running into your creation.
