ATMLVE

I think this is a topic that is still under debate too. I am of the mind that logging in and out is something that needs to be tracked per player; I could log out on my friend's ship, my friend sells the ship, I log back in right on the bridge and steal the ship. Impossibley easy.
 
The true answer is that it has not been set in stone just yet; I personally feel that there should be some sort of element you log out of at, which then displays that you are logged out there, and if you don't log out at one of these elements then you respawn at your designated res node when you log back in.
 
Others disagree of course!

Thanks for the welcome
 
 
DD or Dan is fine.
A Zimmer Frame is a walking aid

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today I am the bearer of good news.
Today at 17:18 GMT-7hrs, a 3 year long issue, has been finally set down and resolved without any hiccups. r/DualUniverse subreddit has been successfully transferred over to the community with full permissions and ownership. 
This message is to inform you all off such, and that as per the agreement, r/dualthegame will be archived (has now been archived) and be redirecting everyone to r/DualUniverse.
 
I would like to welcome you all back to r/DualUniverse, it shall now serve as the official subreddit for Dual Universe from here on forth!
 
Cheers,
Comrademoco

Welcome to the forums Dan! (Or do you prefer Dak?) How did you find out about Dual Universe?
 
Also, what the heck is a Zimmer?

Thought I'd pop in and say hi to you all,
Please don't trip over my zimmer, cos I'll prob follow you over it (yep, old boy here).
 
Regards DD
 

Update: 8/3/17
I added a "No Text" option and a "3-monitor size" option as well!
Added GREEN version.
Added RED version.

Oh Novaquark has a few, I'll sell you one of theirs for 50 bucks.

Hello and welcome to the community! We are glad to have you many of us have similar feelings of looking for a place where things work. We are still waiting for alpha so the game is still a ways off. As to who the big players are, I will do my best to give a summary but itis always important to do your own research.
 
The biggest group is Terran Union, run by UniversalG and FleetAdmiralCoke. They are a good group of people but have had a lot of infighting and restructuring over the years. 
Next up is Band of Outlaws or BOO of which I am a member. We are the second largest group. Cybrex is the big dog with us and supported by our staff. We are a bit like the mafia of memes; we are a bit rough around the edges but in the end we just want to have fun. We value community, fun, and freedom. We currently play a bunch of other games while we wait for DU.
After that, there is Cinderfall Syndicate. The best way to describe them would the United Nations but in space. Astrophil runs them and he is a great person. They have had a few setbacks recently but they have a lot of players and groups who are focused on building things. 
Then there is the Empire, a quiet group but they are well put together. Leonis is the one I see most active over there. Then there are a number of smaller groups that come in all shapes in sizes. 
 
The big thing for looking at groups is not what they promised but whether you like the people. So talk to people, join Discords, play games with people, and find some friends
 
For further info, check out the community discord or the Dual Universe Historical Society. Kurock did an excellent write up of some of the communities history.

As of what I personally know of this at the current moment is that they plan to add in more in depth customization features, however, it will not be until substantially down the line as they want to focus on developing the core features of the game first.  

For an accusation of an aggressive post, that is an awfully aggressive response. He asked a valid question, and it is our job to provide an answer.
 
@ZipSnipe, I understand your concerns. The truth is that there are two types of lag: Client side lag and Server side lag. Client side lag is usually an issue of the player's computer not being powerful enough to render everything that is happening on screen, or to calculate everything that needs to be calculated. The devs can address this by optimizing the graphics and code of the game as much as possible to reduce the strain of running it, but at the end of the day if this is the main source of lag the only option is to upgrade your PC. The other type of lag is server side lag, which involves either the server not being able to run everything it has to, or the communication between the server and the client not happening in an efficient manner. NQ's server technology is designed to tackle both of those issues. The server system dynamically partitions space onto different nodes of the server and prioritizes updates from closer nodes. This prevents any one node from getting overloaded and it also reduces the amount of updates that must be sent to the client. They detailed that in several of their dev diaries and dev blogs. 

I appreciate the warm welcome!
 
 
Hey ATMLVE, thanks! What caught my interest is the studio's ambition to create a single shard universe that can host an unprecedented number of players. It's an extremely challenging endeavour and it's cool to know that a studio is attempting it. I'm usually more a fan of the fantasy setting in MMOs - I've been following Hailan Rising closely for a while (quatrevert), then Crowfall (courant101) and Camelot Unchained (francisbaud) - so I'll see if I can get used to the black, cold interstellar void of the sci-fi genre. 
 

Just wanted to share a little Dual Universe keychain I 3D printed for my car keys. It isn't beautiful and I think it will break in a few weeks or months, but it didn't take long to make and I like the personality it adds to my keys!
 
 

Welcome! Always happy to see new members. 
 
What part of Dual Universe looks most interesting to you?
