    @MinerMax555
     
    You are pretty much correct on your assumptions. While Construct to construct communication has never been explicitly confirmed, it has more than been hinted at, assumed, and generally accepted. 
     
    As for merging, we assume there will be ways to dock. Beyond that though, no theories have been denied or confirmed. We have just been kindof theorizing about that one. There are some more things that I can go into deep assumptions about, but there is a time and a place for that. With alpha, most of our theories or assumptions will be answered.

    The Slaxx and Ardour's falldown was an interesting lesson in stepping-over-the-line, but ultimately, a sorry waste: waste of time, of energy, of actors and of ties. A pinch of maturity would have kept this ecosystem of love and hate mostly intact and flourishing, for the benefit of all.
     
    ... And it would seem we're not even completly through this nonsense yet.

    Don't be a paper empire:

    - Don't police what does not yet exist.
     
    - Keep busy together while you wait.
     
    - Don't expect too much from alpha.

    MinerMax555 reacted to Anasasi in Organisation Top Ten Chart   
    Hi all, 
    sorry for the lack of updates on these charts, I have been extremely busy in the real world (that exists, I always forget) with studying, finding work, etc, etc. 
    I had come to a conclusion that these charts weren't great enough and stopped whilst I was ahead. Mainly due to the fact that I was unable to stay on top of input, reading and looking through it all. It got fairly hectic for a time and I had to take a forced break.  

    Though, with the possibility of Alpha coming along soon, I am thinking about starting up again, anew. As this gives me the chance to better watch the alpha through release stages of growth. 
    I suspect that the data will be greatly affected by the ability to play the game, seeing as real dynamics within Organizations will be used, seen, heard or abused. 

    So, keep watching this space, the charts will be coming back soon.

    I think NQ thought that the name Raptor Jesus was somehow related to the org itself (which would be normal of course if you didn't know Raptor Jesus in the first place). The org is against their rules, and you have to respect that. On the other hand, you really should not have to change your username just because you created an org that has a "bad connection" to your name.

    Hello NQ,
    The name Jesus is a very normal name, many people (even unchristian) carry this name, so he is not protected. If your statement is that no name exisit in real life, can be used here in the game, it becomes very complicated. The namesproblem also applies to Jay Cee.
    Perhaps the rule should be that if you use so-called names, get rid of the RL persons and set up, clearly, and it is a new thing without reference to the RL.

    Hallo NQ,
     
    der Name Jesus ist ein ganz normaler Name, diesen Namen tragen viele Leute (auch unchristliche), also ist er nicht geschützt. Wenn eure Aussage ist das kein Name der im echten Leben existiert, hier im Spiel verwendet werden darf, wird es sehr kompliziert. Das Namesproblem gilt auch für Jay Cee.
    Vielleicht sollte die Regel lauten, dass wenn man sochte Bezeichnungen verwendet, sich von den RL Personen und Einrichten, klar distansiert und es eine neue Sache ohne Bezug zum RL ist.

    The new screens look amazing! Since it can load svg data I could theoretically recreate du-stats in game, or at least part of it. People can create games, or if we can hook sensor data into it we could make radar stations (sort of) that would give sensor readouts visually!
     
    This is amazing! 
     
    And the damage model is good to see too makes it so people have to be careful when they fly. Graphically, everything is looking good. 
     
    Honestly, if you can get alpha out before SC gets their alpha 3.0 out, DU is going to make some huge waves in the gaming world. (And will anyways, but getting out before would put DU way ahead in 'the race')

    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.

    "That's true, but all of our competitors are part of the Intergalactic Trade Federation and..."
    "WHAT DOES THAT CHANGE?!"
    "Actually, a lot. Look, they can sell at much lower prices because they have a lot of benefits from the Federation. For example, they can use the ITF Star Network for free. They don't have to pay for traveling at all."
    "Ok, that sounds very useful indeed, but how can they do business here. I paid the pirates in this sector a small fortune to work here in peace..."
    "And that is causing our high prices. ITF members can use cheap military protection supplied by the ITF fleets and the fleets of the military-focused member organizations, which give them their fleets and manpower instead of paying taxes. The pirates don't dare to attack them"

    "Well, I have one idea...."
    "I am listening"
    "We could join them to gain the advantages I mentioned."
    "But that destroys our independence!!! Also, I don't want to pay taxes."
    "They are trying to give us as much independence as possible. And the taxes are much lower than what we have to pay right now to pirates and Stargate owners."
    "But do they even want such a small business like ours?"
    "From what I have heard, they are looking for orgs of every size."

    -------------------- Our Purpose: --------------------  
     
    What we seek in the DU Holidays org is to construct in-game structures commemorating players, organizations, and in-game events as a physical documentation of historical events within the game universe.  
     
     
    -------------------- Our Story: --------------------  
     
     
    Some people prefer to memorialize history through digital means or through the venerable paper and ink. Us? We prefer to memorialize history through physical means. While paper crumbles, ink fades, and data corrupts, stone can last well beyond our lifetime.  
      
    Scientists of the old world dated rocks at billions of years old and some of man's greatest monuments that withstood the ravages were made of nothing more than stone. Storied texts meanwhile tell us of the man who built his house on sand and the man who built his house on stone. Our old societies before we even left Sol were built upon bedrock to ensure long term stability.  
      
    If we use all this material to ensure a strong foundation, why is it that we choose to save our history on something so frail? What was it that made storing our history in digital and paper media so prolific when compared to etching words on a slab of rock like the ancient times?  
      
    It was precisely those times that changed, we switched from ancient worlds stone tablets, to the old worlds infinitely more versatile digital tablets where not only could we write and preserve details of texts, the tablets of the old world brought knowledge, pleasure, terror, and all manner of human emotion together in a device so similar yet so different to the tablets of the ancients...  
      
    In today's new world, we will continue to record our history as a species, for it would be egregious for any civilized society not to. Since we are being given a fresh start, it is appropriate for our history to be recorded in any way possible. Although we are still in deep space, great things have happened among those of us that have been brought into our new worlds simulation to allow us to better prepare civilization for the trials to come.  
      
    In the short time that we have been activated, the true tests haven't even begun and members of our kind are already making choices that could very easily affect our budding civilization. Pacts have been made, friendships have been tested, and leaders of our first great organizations that were supposed to stick out prominently in our minds have fractured and faded from view.  
      
    Events like these will happen innumerable times, so much so, that it will be impossible, if not hardly worthwhile to record them all.  
      
    Yes, some leaders will build organizations of follower's instrumental to the new world, some soldiers will rise to fight for the people and ideas that they believe in, and some explorers will be brave enough to face the unknown. We will write many great stories about these people, but there are some, where a story isn't good enough.  
      
    Some leaders will rise up and inspire their followers to be something greater than themselves, some soldiers will walk into the jaws of defeat only to come out victorious, and some adventurers will make great discoveries that will change everything we know. These people deserve more than a story in the pages of a history text. These are the people whose names we pass from parent to progeny. These are the people who change history. These are the people who everybody can remember, regardless of who they are or where they come from. These, are the people of legends.  
      
    What better way to commemorate these people and events in time, than to memorialize them in history, through a structure dedicated in their honor that will stand ages after they are long gone.  
      
    What better way to learn our history, than to see artifacts of it laid out in front of you?  
      
    What better way to learn our history, than to see it so vividly that it looks like you were there in the middle of it?  
      
     
    -------------------- Our Purpose: --------------------  
     
    What we seek in the DU Holidays org is to construct in-game structures commemorating players, organizations, and in-game events as a physical documentation of historical events within the game universe.  
     
     
    -------------------- Our Hope: --------------------  
     
    DU Holidays, like Dual Universe Historical Society, wants to preserve such moments and artifacts of history. While the latter takes a more secure and user-friendly digital approach, we take a riskier approach at the creation of physical landmarks within Dual Universe.  
      
    In a perfect world, our finished products would be like a museum piece, look but don't touch. Unfortunately, we realize that like any museum, human malice and barbarism can invade and ruin our creations.  
      
    While not everyone would agree with us, we would hope that the greater society would see our monuments to history as worthwhile and not a target for needless destruction and vandals and that such historical sites would be preserved in the new world as they were in the old world.
     
     
    -------------------- Find Us: --------------------
      
    If you are interested in the preservation of history or like the thought of building something that will last long after you're gone, you are invited to sign up on our org page.
     
    Before sending in an application, new prospects are asked to read the first paragraph of the "Notes" section below, although it is recommended to read the entire section before submitting.
      
     
    -------------------- Notes: --------------------  
      
    Before signing up, I would ask that members of the DU Constructors Guild and Dual Universe Historical Society please note their membership in either or both orgs. It makes it easier to assign the "Partner" tag in our Discord should you choose to join. In addition, it is required that members have the same username (or at least nickname) on Discord as they do on the forums. This makes it so much easier to know who is who although that should be self-explanatory and a common courtesy. A small paragraph about our Discord can be found at the bottom of this post.
      
    As a mostly neutral organization, we will accept everyone regardless of what organization you come from or what history in the game or on the forums you might lead. In rare cases, individuals will only be excluded in the circumstances where the DU Holidays organization does not wish to be associated with your name.  
      
    Members of DU Holidays should not expect payment for their work unless they are a part of a major group project that has been contracted by an organization. Historical memorials and monuments that we create ourselves are considered a public service to the benefit of the community. Tips and personal donations, of course, will not be turned down.  
      
    If organization leaders that believe they and their followers have some ability to contribute to our organization and wish to become partners with the DU Holidays organization, you may get in contact with me either by PMing me here on the forums (Please refrain from using the Community Portal to send these messages) or by getting in contact with me on Discord. Just ping me @DarkHorizon in the Unofficial Dual Universe Discord and I will reply back to you on Discord via a PM. 
     
    Among our current partners are the DU Constructors Guild and the Dual Universe Historical Society. 
     
    Organizations that wish to have a monument made by us can do so by getting in touch with me through the means above. We are more than happy to follow through with your request provided that:  
    You provide us with all the materials needed  
    You provide the builders with a security detail during the construction process, personal or privately contracted  
    You reimburse us in quanta for the time spent on the project, particularly if it is large/complex, needs multiple group members or needs to be done in a reasonable amount of time  
      
    Our Discord is closed for the most part to non-members. Visitors, prospects, and unconfirmed members are free to join our Discord, however, you'll only be greeted by the rules, a welcome channel, and a channel for non-members to communicate in. Non-members will remain separate from the general channel until their name is cross-referenced and are confirmed as a member of the organization. If you would like to enter the Discord channel, you can do so here.
     
    While the "Our Story" section is very much a playful jab at the DUHS, make no mistake, they are very much an integral part of this organization. c:

You did a lot of things wrong, got really angry really fast, weren't able to accept a defeat and ignore any advice. I will not miss you, you will not miss me. But it's always sad to see someone leave the community.
