Hi everyone.
 
As seen by their actions, some community members have recently garnered a negative reputation for Dual Universe, its community, and the Novaquark team. It would have been logical and welcome to consult the Novaquark staff before posting what are supposedly considered “good practices” to recruit players into an Organization and what are not.
 
As a matter of fact, Novaquark DOES NOT consider what has been described in this thread as good practices to recruit new players for an Organization in Dual Universe.
Here is the official Novaquark stance on the topic.
 
Best Regards,

BOO has reached 300 Boobians !
Happy 300 members day \o/

All suspects are GUILTY.........otherwise, they wouldn't be suspect.......would they?

Hi everyone,
 
All right, the three pages that revolved into a flame war have been archived.
 
@Paul Nicolas:
As you are new on the forum, this is a first (but also the last) warning.
 
Your posts have broken several forum and/or EULA rules, among which:
- starting a flame war when nobody has agressed you.
- being particularly rude by calling people dicks and using some inappropriate text emoticons.
- suggesting to sell your account to someone else.
 
Being a gold backer gives you rights, but absolutely not those stated above.
If you continue with this behavior, your account can be banned with no refund possible (as you break the rules you explicitly accepted first when you created a Dual Universe account, to post on the forum and play the game). 
 
@everyone:
When you see something that is obviously the beginning of a flame war, just report it and don't respond to this kind of provocation.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

I think it comes a bit from fear. 
I don't think I need to remind you of the many controversial stories from Eve concerning insider knowledge etc. 
I understand why it might make someone uncomfortable. 
 
I personally haven't seen anything yet to suggest that NQ might be crossing some kind of ethical border in this or any other situation where cooperation is taking place. 
 
If it needs to be said, it takes a lot of time setting things up for the community. Whether it be this BOOM, du-stats, Sleepers, DU Explorers, moderating the subreddit, building the gamepedia, Cinderfall TV or even Oz (did I miss anyone?).
These things are done by regular players with a passion for DU. If you feel you want to contribute then think of something and Do it. Most if not all of the player run initiatives want nothing more than to engage and encourage people. 
 
But the truth is many people prefer to critique from the sidelines, the arm chair experts. And that's fine, but if you want to be involved in or with the community in any way beyond just playing, put in the time and work to make it happen. 
 
I appreciate BOO taking the initiative in setting this up. It's something that is needed and it enables NQ and all of us to spend time on something else.
 

That's why we said:


 
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. 

Greetings people,
 
As alpha is approaching fast we would like to announce the first player organized Mass tests, called BOOM!
For all alpha backers out there we in BOO would like to do those tests with as many people as possible. As this is an MMO with a strong focus on player interaction we want to help NQ in testing their server tech.
It’s perfectly fine if you test the game for yourself or with friends but doing the same things in huge groups has to be tested thoroughly too - so watch this thread (follow it!) or discord for the announcements of the next BOOM!
 
tl:dr facts:
- player organized mass tests
- narrated and guided by BOO staff
- two tests on the same day (8pm GMT+2 and GMT-6) for EU and US timezone
- NQ will monitor these tests for further evaluation
- weekly tests of different areas of DU
- g-drive storage for bug-reports and easy access for NQ
 
What YOU need to do:
- join https://discord.gg/CYNYpT9 (BOOs relay discord) 
- go to https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzJofzdOkjNAU0RuMkYtVWE4QkU
  and RTFM
- download the spreadsheet and enter your details (ingame name, system, drivers)
- watch out for the announcement and join the voice channel in the BOO discord
- hopefully understand english
- if you hear “CHECK CHECK” - STFU
- do what you are told to do
- have fun!
 
We plan on doing those tests on a weekly basis, depending on the server-uptime and our RL. As the adults we all are you should easily be able to understand the rules of these tests and how to deal with the spreadsheet.

If you want to help organizing stuff for these tests (building ships in advance, scripting, building bases to test in,...) feel free to contact a staff member of BOO.
If you have any questions, issues or just want to improve stuff - please reach out to us.
 
We will upload a document before each test where we will outline the basic testing scenario. Feel free to reach out to us via discord or in that document (you can edit it!) with your ideas! Each of these documents will be in the respective folder on the drive to let you guys know in advance what to prepare for the tests and what we will do.
 
The first BOOM will include:
- movement
- gathering people in a spot
- jumping/crouching/running/whatever with different distances to each other
- (hopefully) a little surprise for you all
 
*NOTE* The spreadsheet might be subject to change, as we want to make the reports as convenient as possible for NQ for further evaluation
See you in alpha
 
The first mass test will be announced here and on discord - most likely one week after official alpha release of DU
 
Note: As things change in such a phase of a game, things like the discord, gdrive and other stuff might and possibly will change too. In order for everyone to be on the safe side (NDA) and because of the ever changing nature of a pre-alpha and alpha, I'm in contact with NQ since the beginning.

Good luck dude!
All the best to you!

Spam is bad, and clearly they have made a few rookie mistakes, but let's not clobber them for no reason here. 
 
Everyone here is right, Solar Secure has permanently damaged its reputation. However, excessively attacking them isn't going to help, it only makes the rest of us look bad. 
 
Solar Secure, I wish you good luck and hope you have learned from your mistakes.

I would use invisible tags to track your online activities and shopping habits then sell it to advertisers without your consent or knowledge

Just going to bump this thread so that people know we are still looking for people who are willing

Do you want the Borg? coz that is how you get the Borg

OUR GOAL:

The main goal of Solaris Industries is to create the best ships modifications that one can buy - Whether it be for a small fighting ship, or for a massive space station.

 

OPERATIONS:

Everyone has ideas, if your idea sounds like a good/profitable one, discussions will be held on whether or not this is feasible, and if so, how it can be expanded on further to make a profit.

 

THE PROBLEM THAT IS MONEY:

If an idea has been developed and sells well on the market, a designer would want to know how the money would be split.

Here at Solaris Industries we only believe it is fair that the person who first came up with the idea gets 50% of the overall earning of the modification. The other 50% will be split around to the rest of the people in the organisation who worked on this specific modification. (depending on how much they contributed and so on.)

 

LEADERSHIP:

While I am the founder of this organisation I believe that everyone is of equal worth, which is why everyone in this organisation will be valued as such.

 

CUSTOMERS:

Band of Outlaws - Confirmed

I was just rewatching the DevDiary about the ship building gameplay and noticed something that could make this part of the game a bit easier, and that this the mirror mode, where you can select to mirror what you are building from 1-3 dimensions.
This way, you would only have to build one side of the ship, and not have to worry about the other side being asymmetrical (for all the people that actually care about that)
 
What are peoples thoughts on an implementation like this?

I agree with this, it would be a great idea, however the scope of the idea would be a rather large one, because, if you are flying around on a planet, wouldn't the gravitation field strength also have to be taken into account? (because of relative weight and mass of the ship ALONG with the weight and mass of any players on board(super nerd, ikr))
This would mean that there would have to be a way for the game to recognise how many players are onboard a single ship, calculate their weight and masses (if they aren't all the same) and then do g-force calculations for a SINGLE ship. An I'm guessing there would be a lot of ships about.
Unless I'm missing something really obvious, I think something like this would be a real strain on a server, especially as the devs are advertising it as "one big server".
