Will be there
(With our single ship lol )
 

Hi guys !

My name is Nagy Attila but you can easily say Ati or SilverAti how you like it !
I’m borned in 1989 in Hungary But I’m actually living in Germany still 2016 and we are moved out with my wife in 2015. I’m actually Truck Driver in full time but Car mechanic and car eletrician are also my professions.

I heard about DU 1th October, and I saw many tutorial videos yet. About 5 years ago I started to playing with lot of Spaceship games for example: Star Conflict ( that was my favorite), Vega Conflict (web browsing) and nowadays Galaxy Battleship (Android). I very like our “real universe” Constellations to analyze so thats the reason I Would like to take part in Dual Universe I hope so I will find the similarity between this games and our galaxies.

Good luck & Have fun

My names Uber, I'm looking to get invested into the player created content. Explore new worlds and chart them off with a good group of 2-3.
I saw this game come out when it first released its first trailer and FELT THE HYPE. But due to the lack of content and engagement with the he community, I left. So I want to change with this come back to the game after the road map was released. If you wanna chat about cartoons, hit up my inbox and I'll show you discord username. Anything related to construct and city projects, all ears. Ship plannings, I'm game. Hope to stick around to see this game fully released. Can't wait to see you in game at launch!

Yayyy, I can smell the fuel of the first racing (athmospheric) vehicles in DU! 

Hello and welcome!
Im happy to announce that the Free Racing Community will organise the first race for all organisations present at Alpha stage.
You can compete with each other in a peaceful but also challenging way.
 
The provisional rules are:

-Propulsion used: Athmospheric, Boosters, wings
-Checkpointsystem: Checkpoint-rings, check size maximum!
-Ceasefire during the competition
-no Speed maximum!
-track will probably be outside of safezone, beware
 
Due to lack of information yet, further updates will have the rest, so stay tuned!
!Date and Location will be announced after Alpha-Launch!
Send your intereset to participate directly to TheHamon (COMMUNITY-PN) with the subject 'I wanna race'.
 
Hosts: The honor of hosting the event is not yet decided, we will take your applications!
The host of the event will be mentioned in the articel, will be advertised and will have the honor to provide the start-location (additional structures will be build by the FRC if necessary)
A secondary host will have the same privileges as the first host, except he will provide the finishline.
Send applications directly to TheHamon (COMMUNITY-PN) with the subject 'I wanna host'.
 
Embrace your speed-fever, touch the stars.
 
-A service by the Free Racing Community
 

The Free Racing Community is working with its small development-team on the fastes designs and technologies. We would be proud if we could have a place at the Expo for our Racers.

The current lore of Dual Universe states, that "at the moment of the Grand Exodus, humanity was divided into four main political movements".
 
The first three movements are listed as the "Luminous" (looking for knowledge and wisdom), the "Alphas" (putting emphasis on strength and military power) and the "Emporium" (believing in the power of money and commerce). Those three will have a clear path and presumably character skills in the game - as scientists, soldiers and traders.
 
For the fourth group on the other hand, the "Ethereans", the future is uncertain. As the lore states: "They believe in the power of culture and arts. For them, humanity needs to be driven by dreams, beauty, and ideals before anything else. This is what gives us meaning. They are not against more practical endeavors but like to see these activities as a way to expand and support their vision. They have many supporters but are also often criticized for their lack of pragmatic action."
 
I asked J.C. at the Cologne Meet-Up if there are any actual game features planned for being an "artist" ingame and he said something to the effect of: not currently.
Of course you could say that there are more pressing issues in the game's development and most people are probably waiting for things like the player economy and PVP.
Yet, I find it interesting that "culture and art" is singled out as one of four political movements in the world of Dual Universe and I would like to see it reflected somehow.
 
There was a bit of a discussion back in 2016 about being a musician, visual artist or entertainer ingame. Mentioned was a "Dual Stadium" for concerts and a "Dual Gallery" for artworks. The consensus was, that it would be up to the players to make art outside of the game and then bring it in the game themselves in one way or another. That seems to still be the idea.

But i'm still wondering how you could integrate the professions of an "Etherean" in the game in a more thorough way. There have been MMO games with skill trees for professions like "Entertainer", "Dancer", "Bard", etc. Those revolved mostly around buffing your team-mates and maybe make money by performing. Could something like that be possible in Dual Universe? I don't know.
 
Here's some examples of "Etherean" professions and their potential:

Architecture - No-brainer. Building is an integral part of the game. Building something beautiful doesn't really do anything, but being a "decorator" could become a viable career path.
Design - It's still unclear in what capacity players will be able to design elements. If it is purely decorative, as in skins, that could again be a career path, especially if you can sell your skins for ingame money.
Painting - Displaying artwork from outside of the game on a screen ingame is easy. Actually making unique artworks ingame and selling them is probably a long-shot.
Sculpturing - In a macro sense, this is already possible (and seen in NQs videos). You can use the terraforming tool to "sculpt landscapes". Can you do art with that? I don't know.
Literature - Well... besides writing a book and presenting it on 1000 screens for people to stand in front of, literature will probably never leave the realm of "outside of the game".
Music - Pretty much the same as the literature focus. I doubt we will be able to make original music inside the game. And streaming music from the the outside to the game has its own problems. But there is some discussion about "predefined sounds". Doesn't really sound like the life of a rock star though. ?
Theatre & Dance - Now here's something with potential, maybe even for actual skills. You can already build a stage, get a bunch of people and perform a play for an audience. Sound / ingame voice is a problem of course. As for movements, NQ might plan on doing "dance emotes" but I doubt something more complex is in the works. As I said, there have been games with an actual "dance skill tree", but it probably doesn't fit with Dual Universe.
Movie-making - Filming something inside the game and releasing it on YouTube is obvious. But playing videos on ingame screens might be a thing too. You can build a movie theatre around the screen and might even charge for tickets. So "movie theatre owner" could be an actual money-making profession in the game. But it sounds pretty taxing.
 
But most importantly: When will the Ethereans rise and take control of the government?

This is my proposal of the mechanics:
 
1.) You cannot dive in this game without a working diving-gear. You will change your gear to diving-gear-set to dive for longer periods. Make it so that without diving-gear, you can only dive underwater very limited period without re-surging for air, with diving-gear, you can dive for longer periods but still limited based on your oxygen-tank load/capacity.
 
2.) To detect present Crude Oil deposit in seabed soil, silt, sediment, rock, the diver-avatar uses a handheld infrared spectrometer instrument underwater to scan the site (no need to take samples of the soil/rock). It can detect oil(hydrocarbons) present in soil in the form of raw "Crude Oil" which still need to be processed.
To drill, extract, and store, the nano-former will do it's job (the "Mining Tool" can do that itself).
 
You can have different qualities of raw Crude Oils if you want. There are more "Sweet" Crude Oil (which means it's of higher quality, lower sulfur content, lighter), and there are more "Sour" Crude Oil (of lower quality, higher sulfur content, heavier). If you mined a more "Sweeter" Crude Oil and took that to refinery, it has better result of producing higher quality processed material (if the raw material is of high quality, it will produce higher quality processed material. It's as simple as that).
 

*you need an instrument like this that works and is built for underwater.
 
3.) You will take that to refinery, the machine will break down the raw Crude Oil, what you will get out of it will be based on the quality of your raw Crude Oil.
 

*You will call this machine "fractional distillation machine". It will break down your "Crude Oil". Lighter materials(such as methane which is a gaseous material) will remain on the top, heavier materials(such as Asphalt) will remain on the bottom. What you will get out of your raw Crude Oil will be based on the quality of your raw Crude Oil itself. Make the heavier materials the more common ones and less of market value. The lighter the material in this chart, the rarer. The more viscosity it has (which means "resistant to flow in terms of grading"), the less quality that liquid gas is(or whatever state of matter it is), hence less value (that will be something like Diesel compared to the more quality Kerosene and Gasoline).
 
In this chart, from lower quality to higher quality will be from bottom to top. Lower quality to higher quality of raw Crude Oil will be from Sour to Sweeter Crude Oil. You will balance this out, you should get higher quality processed material from higher quality raw Crude Oil.
 
4.) Then after that, these processed materials can be used for further mixture, synthesis, whatever form of Crafting-process they are used for. For example, the Kerosene, it is one of the requirement for making Fuel that is of high quality petroleum-based(petroleum blended) through synthesis (more volatile, more flammable, more cleaner, etc.).
 
P.S. Also, pls do not forget a Forestry Industry in this game. Same thing as the above, the raw wood has to be processed in a wood processing facility to create various processed materials(such as Rubber, Methanol if you distill that wood, Charcoals which you can use as fuel for the Furnace for iron and steel production for example, whatever) that can be used for further Crafting-process.
Logging will be done by the nano-former.
 
 

Just saying Hi! Early Bronze backer, and just checking in on how the game's developing...

um, why not use the ships you build as housing till its time to blast off?

The Eden Republic is a new organization, but not without a well thought out plan. In Beta, we expect to launch a colony fleet from Alioth into the unknown to find a new home world for the Eden Republic. The planet will be called Eden Prime. 
But, for now, we need your help to build up a temporary settlement to house everyone until Beta. The city will need to be in an area suitable for building six ships at the same time. One colony ship, two escorts, two exploration ships, and one government ship. Are you up for the task? (We have a new, updated post)

Links: https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/the-eden-republic https://discord.gg/9qtmdfK https://edenrepublic.wordpress.com/

This suggests that the best training would involve sorting people into relatively small units (perhaps based on when then can reliably be online) so they can bond more easily and assigning each unit tasks.
 
I also think that use of all three dimensions will be crucial. I don’t know what ships will look like, but getting intel on their designs (capturing one?) so you can reliably hit the weak points is crucial.

Hey, I'm not a bot pinky swear, I'm excited to be part of the community and can't wait to play. See you in the game
 

Hi all i am a Patron nice to meet you. I can't wait for the next pre alpha open
 
See you in game

@Mod-Merwyn Thanks for that link. I heard some news recently that drew back to check this place out. I noticed the crowdfunding webpage changed a lot and didn't know how my silver founder package played into things. Good to know that the devs are giving us more for backing early! Also glad to see Dual Universe blew up in popularity and funding! Badass.

Here i am, pleased to meet all of you, here and ingame.

Hi all!
 
New to the forums and been following the game for a while.  I can't wait for it to go live! 

My submission for Novawrimo 2017
 
 
Authors Note: Beware, i have taken a liberal approach with punctuation by using it to set tempo/pace for how you read certain events. It's also written from a third perspective as if filming a movie.
Pic below is just inspiration in hindsight to match the picture in my mind

Hope it will entertain some of you!

---------First paragraph snippet---------
I am a broken man. At least that is what the shrinks say. They say I’m too broken to continue in the Centauri Special Forces. But if one of the powerful nation states pays for your training, they own you. So that’s how I became stuck as a Tester, a guinea pig, for Centauri scientists. On the bright side, they gave me a place to stay, even if it is a single room apartment that you couldn’t swing a proverbial cat in. Centauri also provides a seemingly unlimited cereal molded into multicolored letters of the alphabet. Today, the cereal spells out “freedom” which quickly sinks away and then spells “dominated”. I stare at the word knowing if I blink it will instantly rearrange itself into the usual random jumble of letters. For taunting me, I teach it a lesson by biting into another mouthful. It might look colourful, but it tastes like week old sweaty socks.

Novawrimo2017 - Bastille by Kurock.docx

Hey Everyone!  A few of us are doing some work on the lore for our own group, New Genesis.  Were not professional writers lol but we would like some feedback from the community.  It's pretty short and mostly in line with the lore of Dual Universe but if you guys can give some suggestions we could use it.  It covers the creation of New Genesis & "The Holy Order" (which is our fictitious religion) but not the origin of our Gods, which will be covered in another segment at another time.
 
(Edit - Added Video)
 
The Creation of New Genesis:
 
[2027]
It was a time of extreme changes in ideologies and way of life for the entirety of the human race. Scientists discovered a doomsday Neutron Star that would impact Earth in roughly 500 years.  This neutron star was named the Star Kiss of Death, or SKiD for short.
_________________________________________________________________________
 
[2049]
As the years went by a massive change in humanic and theological views began.  Most, if not all modern religions took a blow as a result of the socio-economic breakdown due in part of the “no future” movement that was created.  During this breakdown, a predominantly extremist faction firmly believed that the earth would be destroyed and that there was nothing anyone could do about it.  This movement came to be despite all of the world’s leaders working together to create a so called “United Earth Federation” to ensure that each country would work together towards the survival of the Human race.  The main goal of the UEF was to analyze possible responses and escape strategies for the SKiD.
 
[2100]
During this time, humanity moved away from hard labor due to the advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence.  The general population had little of importance to do. This lead to many people questioning their faith and role in society.  Over the years people started yearning for something new. A few select individuals started to come to the realisation that current religions at that time seemed to be failing us.  These select few analyzed current religions, deemed them fictitious, hateful and the main cause of humanity’s reluctant effort in advancing in technology. This lead to the creation of a new faith called “The Holy Order” which promoted science and religion hand in hand.
 
[2475]
The Holy Order begat a large following of a couple hundred thousand over the past few centuries and eventually became a force to be reckoned with. So many of their deities either had concrete evidence of existing or the theology behind them had so many ideals that made them fit with everyday real life that many people began to join the organization as it was difficult to argue against what The Holy Order stood for. People questioning the current global leadership also abetted in the aid of loyalty towards The Holy Order.
 
[2482]
The Holy Order finally decided that a leader would have to be chosen to guide the people once humanity reached the new world and that a new government would have to be made.  A child was born to one of the high priestesses of The Holy Order and was chosen to be groomed as the leader of this new frontier. The Holy Order would later go on to call this new leader “The Master Architect.” He was named king of this new government by all leadership in the Holy Order at that time and was entrusted with the responsibility of carving a path for the people.

 
[2503]
All of the leaders in The Holy Order came to the conclusion that The Master Architect was ready to take charge. One of his first decisions was that there should be a high council to aid and advise him in all matters.  This became known as the “Council of Archons.” Each Archon were to rule over different segments of the new government and were responsible for ensuring that the people were well taken care of.  Since there were multiple Arkships being made by the UEF that were going to other parts of the galaxy, The Master Architect decided to delegate several members of The Holy Order to take lead in the Arkships that he was not going on and for them to create their own hierarchy.
 
[2504]
Quickly, The Master Architect became a loving figure among his people and known for his firm but fair hand.  To not believe in The Holy Order was considered heresy of the highest degree for which The Master Architect held nothing back when it came to punishing this crime.  Though there were a lucky few that only met the fate of being exiled, other punishments could not be described in words and if they could, it would not be pleasant to have them included in this historical document.
 
[2507]
Years after the council of Archons was created, other departments and divisions were created so that the current global “regime” could be replaced with a system that made a lot more sense.  This was to create a more stable economy in the new world with no discrimination between what were once known as “classes.” The Master Architect, the council of Archons & the newly created departments saw very quickly to the end of the class system and made sure that every individual was valued on their input to society and not on the amount of money that they earn.
 
[2509]
Over the years this group of people came to be known as New Genesis, meaning “new beginning” which is what most people wanted and needed.  It was hoped that moving to a new planet and galaxy would enable New Genesis to achieve its righteous goals.
 
[2510]
The UEF begins its first mission in sending humans across the galaxy.  The Master Architect and a good portion of New Genesis board one of Arkships that were created by the UEF, the Novark.  It heads towards the Scutum-Centaurus arm…
