As daylight grows shorter, the nights are darker and the decorations get creepier! That's right Noveans, it's time for our Creepy Outposts Contest! Whether you are a pro voxelmancer or a beginner who is learning how to build, this is a great contest to participate in. Creepy Outpost Contest Information: We have chosen three of our favorite starter outposts for you to modify/decorate. The three outposts are: Outpost Cozy Outpost Dojo Outpost Mod We want you to decorate/modify one or all of the above starter outposts in a creepy theme. Make it spooky, make it funny, make it eerie, but make sure it remains recognizable and creepy/spooky. You must keep it on the same sized core. You can change colors/materials, interior/exterior furnishings to your liking, but make sure that it is clearly identifiable as the starter outpost you modified. Please note: We ask that you limit the amount of lights used in your spooky decorations/remodels. The starter outposts are available for sale at the UEF shops, or you can head down to the castle by the Exchange and grab a free copy of each with the dispenser you will find there. How to Enter: When you're done decorating/remodeling either the Outpost Cozy, Outpost Dojo or Outpost Mod, please submit your outpost to us via this form: https://forms.gle/kJmDZG8Guc2pf5g37 Once your Creepy Outpost construct has been reviewed and qualifies, it will be placed near the castle by the Exchange for everyone to see and enjoy its creepiness! Deadline is November 6th, 2023 at 18:00 UTC. Prizes to be won: First prize: A special in-game title Second prize: 30 days game time Third prize: 10 million quanta Will your starter outpost be full of tricks or treats? We can't wait to see what you come up with! 🧡☠️🤡🍬

Greetings Noveans! A huge heartfelt thank you for everyone who was able to take a (sometimes squishy) seat aboard our Cakeship! As someone who was on each and every tour, I can say that a lot of fun was had and we got to visit all sorts of places (and all of them worth visiting). Did you know that the Cakeship and all of the wonderful details were created by Noveans? That's right, the folks over at Hadron (RyanPryde, McXerxes, GamboRaptor to name a couple) plus Orrianna who created the mosaic dancefloor! (If you ask them nicely, they may have some blueprints from the Cakeship you might enjoy). Did you miss the tour? Want to see where we visited? All of the stops we made are now available in the original post above. Please go visit them at your leisure. It might not be as comfortable or stylish as a gummy bear seat, but certainly worth the trip to see all the imaginative places Noveans have created. Thanks to each and every one of you for being part of our Universe. ❤️❤️❤️

It all depends if your account is eligible to have a territory on Sanctuary. However, even so, if you've just recently landed on Haven and really don't like the location you picked, definitely put in a support ticket to see if they can lend a hand in helping you change spots.

Hi Chrius, Does your account already have access to claiming a territory on Sanctuary? You can put in a request through a support ticket to move your territory, it is sometimes possible to do so, depending on different factors. But your best bet is to put in that request to see if we're able to assist you with that.

Sorry for the delay in getting that code out to you. Welcome to DU! We hope you enjoy playing.

Ohh that's pretty, thanks for the screenshot! And thank you everyone for attending today's tour. See you on some of the future ones I hope. ❤️

It doesn't have to be finished - there is always more to complete. But there needs to be something to visit. If we have a ship full of Noveans, when we stop there needs to be something to see.

We would love to hear your feedback about the PvE Missions, the lore, the Alien Boss fight, please share them with us in your comments below.

From: Dr. Akina Eldon, Commanding Officer of the ASV Perseus, Flagship of the Janus Gate Taskforce And: Admiral Magnus, Commanding Officer, ACV Orion (2-CVT-65) Announcement: The Astrophage Campaign To All Novean Mercenary Forces, We stand today united as the guardians of Helios and the protectors of humanity. The struggle against the Astrophage is not behind us, but thanks to your unyielding bravery, the immediate threat has been contained. We've shown the enemy that we will not go quietly into the dark, we are here to stay, to grow, and to reclaim our place amongst the stars. Rewards & Recognition In acknowledgment of your efforts in defending the Arkship Novark and the entire Helios system, Aphelia and Command have authorized a package of rewards for the most effective combat crews. You fought not just for yourselves but for the future of all Noveans. Therefore, a substantial Quanta bonus and high-tier shield elements will be deposited directly into the inventories of deserving combat crews. However, valor isn't only measured in victories. We saw that many of you gave your all on the battlefield, time and again, but did not achieve the same combat success as your comrades. For your sacrifices, your efforts, Command will honor you as well with a special title to recognize your role in this pivotal moment in our history. We will forward details on the new titles to be awarded in a special communication. The Journey Ahead Make no mistake, Noveans, this fight is far from over. But take this moment to celebrate your achievements and your survival. It's a testament to our resilience, and proof that united, we can face whatever the cosmos throws our way. Remember, the key to our future lies in understanding the past—be it the secrets of the Janus Gate or the messages left by the Gate Builders. Our struggle is not just against the Astrophage, but also for the wisdom to navigate the perils and opportunities of Helios. Our scientists continue to delve into xenoarchaeological sites, and every bit of understanding we gain strengthens us. Prepare for the challenges ahead, but for now, enjoy your well-deserved rewards. You've earned them. Keep your shields up and your spirits higher. In Unity, There is Strength. In Courage, There is Hope. In Victory, There is Survival. Onward, Noveans!

The name Goober is actually my cat's name and if you see in the imagery and text there is a cat theme here with the hunt. Going to close this thread now, and you can probably guess why.

Le premier indice:

Sur la mer, vaste et profonde, Les secrets du Golden Goober dorment, "Tout ce qui brille est or", disent-ils, Embarquons aujourd'hui pour cette chasse au trésor. Les pirates complotent, le cœur enflammé, Un chat en or brille plus, un jeu ! Avec des couteaux affûtés et des voiles gonflées par le vent, Nous poursuivrons nos rêves, nous attraperons les contes. L'univers est vaste, mais nous ne nous inquiéterons pas, Car nous avons du courage, vous pouvez le parier.

Avec le rire et la joie, nous persisterons, Dans la chasse du Goober d'or, nous nous enrôlons !

Erster Hinweis enthüllt:

Auf dem salzigen Meer, weit und tief, schlafen die Geheimnisse des goldenen Goobers, "Alles, was glänzt, ist Gold", sagt man, Lasst uns heute auf die Schatzsuche gehen. Piraten schmieden Pläne, ihre Herzen sind entflammt, Eine Katze in Gold glitzert mehr, ein Spiel! Mit geschliffenen Messern und windgefüllten Segeln, Wir jagen unsere Träume, fangen die Geschichten. Das Universum ist groß, aber wir werden uns nicht grämen, Denn wir haben Mut, darauf kannst du wetten. Um diesen Schatz zu finden, werden wir nicht zögern, In diesem großen Abenteuer werden wir uns auf den Weg machen. Wir jagen sie, ob nah oder fern, zwischen einem Planeten und einer Sternschnuppe. Mit Lachen und Freude werden wir weitermachen, Auf der Jagd nach dem Goldenen Goober!
