We want this forum to be a place where everyone feels empowered to have an open and friendly discussion with us (the Novaquark team) as well as other community members.  To help make this possible we have created rules we feel will keep things positive and ensure that proper netiquette is observed.

By posting on this forum, either publicly or through private message or other means, you explicitly agree to follow the rules and guidelines posted here. If you do not agree with these rules – in whole or in any part – then do not post. All members will be treated as if they have read and understood these rules and guidelines.
 
(I) Be respectful and courteous.
The Dual Universe forums and community site are provided for Dual Universe players and those interested in discussing topics directly related to Dual Universe. We understand that community members may disagree with each other, and even with us, but we expect opinions to be expressed in a reasonable and polite manner.  It is important to maintain an atmosphere of civility and respect, so that all voices may be heard.
 
(II) Communicate constructively.
All communication, whether between players, moderators or Dual Universe staff, must be constructive. Posts without constructive commentary can distract from the topic at hand, reduce the visibility of valuable communication, and discourage others from participating in the conversation.
 
(III) Following actions are prohibited:
Posting off-topic replies or replies that are likely to drag the discussion off topic. Necroposting on old threads (unpinned threads in which the last reply is older than 2 months). Spamming on a specific topic. This includes creating multiple discussions on the same topic in the same or multiple forums. Cross-posting a specific reply. This is also a form of spamming. Posting an image without a meaningful text. A meme is not a response to a discussion. They are usually disruptive and can be easily misinterpreted. The same is true for animated GIFs. Calling out other players or community members by name to shame them for actions or opinions you may disagree with. Naming and shaming is not tolerated. Posting in any manner that disrupts an official thread. Official threads are topics created by the Novaquark team for the purpose of collecting feedback and opinions. Threatening legal action. Unfortunately, this kills all conversation immediately as we must refer all further discussion to our legal team. To preserve the conversation intact and unaltered these types of responses may be immediately archived. Trolling (provoking) people. Flaming (insulting, attacking) people. Picking fights isn’t a good way to make your point. It usually means you don’t have one and are just trying to cause trouble. Using profanity. Including creative spelling or character substitution to bypass word filters. Using the report system in an abusive manner. This is a form of harassment and a tremendous waste of time for both staff and moderators. Discussions and comments involving real life politics, ideology or religion. These can be incendiary topics and will usually lead to inappropriate behavior and uncomfortable situations. Publicly posting any private discussions, conversations, or other material between a user and a Novaquark employee (confidentiality policy). Refusal to follow the directions of Novaquark staff or representatives.
The use of an alternate account to circumvent a forum suspension is forbidden at all times. Additionally, the use of alternate account(s) to influence or misrepresent opinions is strictly prohibited. All forum accounts must adhere to the forum rules and Code of Conduct. Failure to comply can result in disciplinary actions against all associated accounts.
 
Violating these guidelines may trigger a warning, followed by either a temporary or permanent suspension of forum privileges depending on the severity and frequency of the violations.
 
(IV) The following actions may result in the immediate suspension of forum privileges:
There are some actions severe enough to result in immediate temporary or permanent suspension of posting privileges without prior notification. Serious or sustained offenses may result in suspension of not only the user's forum account but game account as well.
 
Threatening other members or Novaquark staff. No, “just joking’ is not a defense. We take this very seriously. Publicly revealing account or personal information of any person, community member or Novaquark staff. Posting harmful links pointing to viruses, malware, worms or trojans. Posting sexually explicit content. Including posting links to such content. Hate speech is not tolerated in any form. Attacking any ethnic group, religion, gender or sexual preference/identity. Promoting exploits, cheating programs, piracy or any sort of illegal activity. Attempt to impersonate Novaquark staff or another member of the community.  
Violations of these rules may result in further steps taken with outside authorities or agencies. This may include your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and local or national Law Enforcement agencies.
 
(V) Abide by moderators and Novaquark employee’s instructions.
 
If you disagree with a moderator or employee's actions, do not discuss or challenge the matter in forum posts. Send an e-mail to forum@novaquark.com, and be sure to include your forum handle (name displayed on the forum), but NOT your password, and clearly state your concerns.
 
IMPORTANT: Forum content is moderated at Novaquark's sole discretion, and content may be modified, removed, or otherwise restricted by Novaquark employees and/or moderators.
 
Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.

This week we will be making some visible changes across the community areas of Dual Universe. While this is primarily affecting our forums, some changes to the community in general are included: 
 
Forum restructuring and clean up EULA and Code of Conduct updates Additional improvements on the way Enforcement
Bored Boards:
The forums will be getting an overhaul over the next couple of weeks including the reduction and closure of some of the less active forum areas as well as an amalgamation of some of the remaining ones. This should help new and returning members of the community find the information they seek more quickly. We will be relocating some rarely-used sections into a read- only archive. 
 
In addition, we will be cleaning up the sea of pinned posts. We may have developed a pinning addiction in the past, we’re ready to move on from that now. 
 
We realize changing a community layout can feel overwhelming and chaotic, we are hoping to reduce the clutter and make it easier to get what you’re looking for faster! This isn’t the only plan we’re working on, but more on that later.
 
We will also be reopening the moderator application in the coming weeks. If you’ve ever wanted to get your mod on, this will be the time to apply. 
 
The Legal Stuff (EULA and Code of Conduct):
We have updated sections of the EULA and Code of Conduct to make it clear that we will not tolerate real money trading (RMT) within Dual Universe. Please take a few moments to review the changes.
 
Idea Box (forum):
We know there have been some recent concerns specific to this forum and we would like to address them. 
 
First up, and most importantly, we want to thank everyone who has posted in the Idea Box. You have provided our team with hours of entertainment, amazing suggestions and wonderful creativity; however, we have heard a rising number of complaints about not seeing those ideas manifest within the game. We assure you that every idea is read, but not every idea can be implemented. And remember that game development takes time. A lot of time.
 
Because we have so many ideas coming at us from the Idea Box, the UpVote page and more, we would like to remind and reassure you that our team is currently focused on the existing game plan and updating it to make sure that the performance is solid and that the game is fun to play. As we’ve said in recent blogs, you may not see a lot of obvious changes frequently, but we are hard at work behind the scenes.
 
We are going to restrict the Idea Box for the immediate future to feedback regarding the existing game loops and elements only. This is not to say we won’t look outside of that, but at this time we have a backlog of content and ideas and need to focus on the existing mechanics. Once we've cleared the backlog, we'll be in a better position to consider suggestions.

Enforcement:
Now that the adaptation period of post-alpha and post-NDA lift is behind us, we are going to put more emphasis on the enforcement of our policies and tighten the consequences for people violating them. We are doing that in the spirit of continuing to build a welcoming and tolerant community of players.
 
Until then, thank you for your patience and patronage.

Hello everyone, this is Shockeray, GM of Soul Nebula.
 
After waiting for an updated version of the original community map to show itself on the forums for a long time, I finally took it on myself to create my own up-to-date version. After a lot of original set up, my method now requires little time and almost non-existent server strain, allowing me to refresh it many times a day if there ever was a reason to. Due to my limited knowledge of this type of undertaking, TheGreatSardini helped me with the start up. Unless I missed one, this map should contain every organization with at least two members.
(Although Graph Commons may not be the best available method of displaying this node map, it is the best that I have found available to the public.)

And for those who can't load the page, I have attached a completely oversized screengrab below which will give you the general idea.

Are you the next Marie Curie or Elon musk? Then the Terrian Union needs you to help build the next great human civilization.
 
Terran Union council of ministers has a vacant seat. If you have the ambition and drive to rally the brightest of our engineers, architects and scientists a like to move the Terran Union forward into an innovative and promising future? Then you could be the next Ministry of Research and Development!
 
Please send a 1 paragraph application letter to MuadDib (acting Minister of Research & Development and Head of Design & Development). Tell us why you think you are the right person to lead the TU’s Research and Development, and your take on the development of Dual Universe.

SILVERLIGHT INDUSTRIES
“Per technicae incrementis”
The premiere interstellar industrial corporation.
Rebuilding civilized industry through connecting physical and digital realities.
Sensing, predicting, and responding to make humanity work better.
Metadata:
Language: English
Timezone: All (Global Membership)
Communication: Discord (https://discord.gg/Z2Frz59)

Organization:
Core Values: We are committed to Driving Success pursuing Operational Excellence in all divisions and areas of industry. Through Optimizing Operations we Improve Performance and Reduce Costs. Our research and development is Igniting Ideas, Connections, and Solutions.

Origins: During the early Arkship era the United Nations compelled many scientific organizations and technology companies to merge into single entity, SilverLight Scientific, dedicated to the development and construction of the Arkships that would save humanity. In the conflict on Earth leading up to the launch of the Arks many of those researchers assisted Project Cinderfall and infiltrated the Ark program.

Purpose: Upon arrival at Alioth, the scientific community immediately set about creation of infrastructure for the survival and progress of humanity. Rebranded as SilverLight Industries, we are devoted to coordinating scientific and industrial efforts on an interplanetary scale.

Want to know more? > Here <

Organization Focus:
- Employing all skill sets and skill levels
- Resource discovery, mining, and management
- Ship building and design
- Programming (scripts that make constructs work)
- Research and Development
- Marketing
 
SilverLight Management: Driving Success

The Director of Silverlight Industries is the chief executive officer of the organization and is assisted by coordinators from each division along with a small group of consuls that form a Consilium of advisors. These senior managers are responsible for overseeing all aspects of SilverLight Industries and ensuring personnel are productive, satisfied, and fairly compensated.

SilverLight Operations: Operational Excellence
The backbone of Silverlight Industries is composed of all operational departments that focus on the primary workload and purpose of the organization. Operations handles the scouting, mining, and refining steps of the industrial process while having dedicated teams working on research, construction, and element programming. The bulk of SilverLight’s workload is handled within Operations. 

SilverLight Security: Improve Performance, Reduce Costs
The protection of Silverlight Industries from all threats, internal and external, are handled by the various departments within the security division. Security is tasked with protection of physical assets, personnel safety, and information integrity. Whether personally armed for combat at all times, or patrolling in state-of-the-art warships, they will be empowered to decisively defend SilverLight from all aggressors.

SilverLight Logistics: Optimizing Operations
Responsibility for tracking, storing, selling, transporting, and predicting resource allocation needs falls to the logistics departments. Logistics crunches the numbers to distribute resources to the construction bays and markets they need to go, maintain competitive pricing at open and private markets, and provide feedback on market trends to optimize SilverLight profits. Internal administration and strategic planning are conducted by Logistics personnel.

Cinderfall Syndicate:
SilverLight Industries is a proud member of the Cinderfall Syndicate! This means that members of SilverLight Industries enjoy the protection and benefits of Cinderfall citizenship simply by joining SilverLight. Thanks to our non-exclusivity clauses, members are welcome to join other organizations in addition to SilverLight, some minor restrictions may apply.

Agreements:
As an Independent Corporate Entity, SilverLight Industries retains authority to negotiate directly with other organizations, including governments. We register our public alliances, treaties, trade negotiations, and other agreements with the Cinderfall Syndicate. These agreements normally allow for SilverLight Industries to establish standard pricing, acquire resource rights, employ citizens, set up a branches within government organizations, or apply expedited trade with industrial organizations. If you are interested in establishing a public or private agreement, contact the Director or member of the Consilium (discord preferred).

- Diverse Unified Alliance
 

Now Hiring!
SilverLight is currently hiring players interested in working in one or more sections! If you feel that you fill one or more roles listed above or have good ideas, apply! Our discord server actively engages in planning, designing, and preparing for alpha, beta, and full releases! (Senior Executive and Corporate level officers are selected from members demonstrating singular allegiance to SilverLight, exempting one nation-type membership.)

SilverLight Industries
 
Founded as SilverLight Research by the United Nations in 2055 as a way to pool the research capabilities of many smaller companies into something that could assist with developing advanced Arkship technology, they were one of the few companies and organizations that could possibly compete with the globally powerful Nexus Corporation on a technological basis. Eventually, SilverLight expanded to include many other industries such as extraterrestrial mining and Arkship construction, assisting the U.N.’s Ark program through multiple facets of the project. However, the core project and top priority of SilverLight remained the artificial intelligence systems that would run the Arkships and assist humanity when they arrived on their new homeworld, Alioth. Soon after the last of the Arkships was completed, the U.N. shocked millions when it announced that Arkship resources were scarce, and that it would utilize an “artificial genetic selection algorithm” to decide who would live and who would perish in the oncoming apocalypse. Naturally, an uproar rose up, and riots and violent protests ravaged the streets of Earth in its last days. Recognizing that this was planned long before the Arkships’ completion, the Nexus Corporation, in cooperation with SilverLight and various other organizations, launched its own retaliation: “Project Cinderfall”. With SilverLight’s artificially intelligent algorithm development combined with Nexus Corp’s networking capabilities, Project Cinderfall circumvented the U.N.’s originally biased selection algorithm, allowing a much larger and more diverse population, including many members of SilverLight, to make it aboard the Arkships and into the rebirth of humanity in the age of Alioth.

Do you have a source? Not saying you're wrong, just for future reference.

Normally (every time to my knowledge), the alpha and beta stages are not to "try" the game before the official release. These phases are instead supposed to allow more people and their own unique ways of playing the game to help discover bugs and imbalances in the game, hence the term "beta tester" and "alpha tester".

Greetings MuadDib!
Yes the mining does look quite interesting!
Check out the organization "Alpha Academy"  - https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/alpha-academy
you could check out the alpha academy discord - https://discord.gg/MdmyZJZ

Who here has Alpha access? And how is super hyped for it to begin?
 
I don't know about you guys but the recent mining gif was spectacular. I literally jumped out of my seat and cried allowed to my girlfriend "Did you see that dust effect?!?!" she then gave me a subtle raised eyebrow. Although I still believe that if we all jump around and make a bunch of noise the alpha will get here faster! =D

Hi everyone! 

Considering todays post about BOO and the numbers of players in the top ten Orgs, 
I have decided to post my charts on here as well as Twitter. 

I forgot to place my name on them and now have, but figured seeing as it is fit, I would post them directly here as well, it's just been a little supervising side project of mine to see how the orgs and forums handled in posts, members, etc when the kickstarter came around as well as me just having a general interest in the numbers. 

So, I update the charts daily - with member orgs who have fallen off the top ten staying on there for up to seven days just in case they come back to the top.

Anyway, without rambling on too much longer. 
Have my charts. 
But stop asking for access, please, you won't get it, I'm just trying to provide consolidated data in a point for my own and others interest. 
 

 
The iframe isn't working currently, though I will post updates daily with images till I work it out, it may just be incompatible, I'm unsure.

Live chart can be found here
 
Edit**: Fixed some colouring issues.

Please keep in mind, descriptions are shortened because I was sick for three days, so these are catch ups! Read the most recent update for my analysis!
 
25th of October, 2016.
 

 

 

 

Congratulations we are now 250+ members

It isn't premature at all, because we certainly need the time to develop everything, set up our structures, create the the tools we need, until the game launches. The Terran Union is no less ambitious than Dual Universe itself. What we want to create is something that is normally provided by the developers of a game, a nation within the game.
 
When the devs implent these nations, they normally provide services to the players so that they can do what they want to do. But Dual Universe won't have this kind of dev created nations, so the TU is there to take this place, but because it isn't supported by the devs and the game mechanics we need not only to plan the services we want to provide, but also the means to be able to provide this services and to support our structure. This means a lot of bureaucracy and this needs a lot of planning. Even with our most optimistic estimations currently we come at a needed member count of 1000, alone to run the complete government. Not to mention the time that we will need to set everything up and get running.

I think many orgz are putting their hopes for the games into their current structures, Myself included, and as time goes on I am sure they will be refined and made more relevant to the mechanics that are confirmed. Also I think many Orgz are thinking long term as well, which is good to see. It certainly will be fun to see how everything changes in the next couple of years while we wait, and who the major influencing powers at that point may be!
 
Good luck to you TU!

The Constitution of the Terran Union is now ratified and valid

 
If you are a representative of another Organization that want to officially acknowledge this Constitution, please contact me for further information how to do this.

Well, I believe Darius has started working out the full on constitution for the TU, the rights of the people and powers of government.
 
Just as a recap, Darius lives in a EU timezone utc +1 I think, however still this is a global game so hes planning for a global playerbase.
 
The Terran Union is a full on national entity, Im sure theyll cover every range of game play. and by joining youll have access to additional friends throughout the syndicate.
 
Thanks everyone, check out and sign up for the Terran Union for a stable place to build, play, and socialize!

So, since Terran Union is a part of Cinderfall, both me and Darius decided to endorse one another. Over time, I found him to be a capable leader who could manage his faction. During the DUExplorers meeting, I found Darius to be knowledgeable of the game as well. The best way to put it is that he is a person who people should follow.
 
So there. I endorse and hope to see whoever joins Terran in the future. Also, you want to join another alliance? Click here or down bellow

News
 
Public Service Announcements
We will provide Public Service Announcements for each administrative level, in our forum (once it is released) and on in game bulletin-boards.
 
Newspaper
We will provide a nation-wide newspaper, published by opinion independent journalists (I hope this makes sense, what I mean is that they will get a salary from the government, but they will be free to write whatever they want, would I write “opinion-free” it would probably indicate the exact opposite. Terminology is really difficult please help me someone with this). About what the newspaper will report, will depend on the news priority for the nation. It is also possible that there will be more local-oriented newspapers.
 
Newscast
We will provide a Newscast with the most important news regarding the Union and the galaxy, such as wars, peace treaties, politics (mostly TU but also galaxy), government decisions, new colonies and sometimes a bit propaganda for example the completion of a new TU Capital ship.
The newscast will be provided via YouTube and in game functions.
 
 
Gameplay
 
PvE
Exploration
We will finance exploration missions of different sizes, reaching from single ship missions, to long journey convoys with multiple ships.
The only we are asking for is, to share your data and discoveries first with us, before you sell it to others.
 
Mining
We will offer regular trips to different mining locations, including a military escort. Depending on where the location is, how valuable are the mineable resources and how often the trip is made, the size of the convoy will reach from just a few, to dozens of ships with hundreds of players. But we require for the protection we provide 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of the resources which you have mined.
 
We will also have continuous mining missions with Motherships or Stations, of course also under the protection of our Military. If you're a freelancer, you can mine in the region where the mission is and give us 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of your mined resources or we could buy the resources but for a slightly cheaper price as on the free market. If you're a Newbie or just need some cash, we offer salaries to mine for us and you can decide if you prefer your own ship to mine with or if you want to borrow a ship from us for free. (this will probably be limited due to the limited space on board the motherships and stations)
 
Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering
We will offer different contracts to make something for us, that could be a Script, a Design Concept, a Mechanical Contraption, a Ship, a Building, a Megaproject or just a simple beautification of a city.
The contracts are split in 3 main categories:
1. Employee-Contract: We'll pay you a salary and providing the resources for the work, to which we assign you.
2. Freelancer-Contract: We'll pay you a fixed amount and provide or pay for the used materials.
3. Company-Contract: These contracts are awarded only to companies and will be negotiated.
After the completion of the contracts, the created blueprints are passed to the Terran Union.
 
Trade | Transportation
We will regular offer escorts to trade posts that are far away from the TU Territory. To participate, a fixed price is estimated, depending on the duration and dangerousness of the journey.
 
We will also offer missions and long-term contracts, to transport goods and people for us.
 
Science
We will offer positions in our research facilities for scientists and engineers who are more in development than maintenance. As an employed researcher you are free in your choice of research, but sometimes you will get requests, which you can reject, but consider your reputation.
In case of war, a rejected request can lead to a dismissal, depending on the importance of the request and your current research.
This will be an employment; you will get a salary but your discoveries will belong to the Union.
We will also offer Freelancer and Company-Contracts, if we need some specific tech to be researched fast.
 
Maintenance
We will have a lot of civilian buildings, ships and stations and they must be maintained.
If you considering such work, we will offer you an employment and a salary.
 
Other
As the development of the game is progressing, there will be probably other career branches and as soon as we know it we will offer employments, contracts and missions.
 
 
PvP
Mercenaries
We will offer missions and contracts to people who don't want to join the military, but be prepared this work will be dirty and probably more on the unofficial side of things.
 
Events
We will organize different kinds of competitions, for example building competitions in various classes reaching from art, to fighters, and we will probably have dog fights. We are open for suggestions.
 
Interplanetary Tournaments
Once a year we will organize a great national tournament, where every citizen of the Union can show his skills.
The participants will compete in various disciplines, such as building, dog fight, racing, strategy, and so on. The tournament will start in the cities and every citizen can register there. The winner on city level will then compete on the regional level, the winner of this are going on the planetary level and after this we will have the grand final on the national level.
 
General/Social/RP
 
Holiday Events
We will try to organize Events timed and themed to real-life holidays and we will try to get other factions and maybe even the devs on board for this.
 
Roleplaying
RP is welcome but not necessary.
We will try to create events and special areas for roleplaying and we look forward to receive ideas and suggestions from you.
 
 
Joining the Union
 
Warning
If you want a position as high ranking official (Minister, Parliament representative, General and Admiral) you should be aware that this means a lot of work for you and you will probably receive phone calls in the middle of the night, because of some catastrophe or enemy attack.
 
If you want to be a member of the administration, you should be aware that this means work and you should have some skills in office software. Even after you finished your work you will be a contact person for the citizens of the TU.
 
If you want a position in the military, you should be aware that this means discipline and to follow orders. If an officer ordering you to jump, you will jump and not ask why. You will us also tell fixed times in which you are online and at least half this time you are on duty; in the other half you can do what you want. Next topic is that you've committed yourself, just leaving is desert and will have consequences, but you aren't bound forever. The Contract will have a runtime of 3 months, 10 deaths on duty or 50 dead enemies. I know this whole thing sounds not really good, but here is the good part, you will get a very generous salary and we will take good care of you.
