Thank you!  I look forward to trading and exploring with you all.

Hello all. A friend introduced this alpha to me yesterday. I look forward to logging in tomorrow and start learning to build and create in this universe. 
 
 

Welcome aboard! 

We extend a warm welcome to @Goldnhardt, the newest member of the Heimera Trade Xchange.
 
A hallmark of our Universe is the infiniteness of possibilities it offers. 
A trademark of humanity is its keen desire to explore. 
Will you dream? Will you be brave? 
Dare to be.

Dear Community Members,
 
We have some very exciting news to share. Many of you who have been here for a long time probably already know Yamamushi. As one of the co-founders of the official community Discord and an early Kickstarter backer, Yamamushi has been around as a very active and well known community member for almost 4 years now. 
 
We are excited to have him joining the team. With him coming on board, a few important things are going to change and we wanted to be transparent about this with you all.  We have always valued neutrality for our employees and we try to avoid any conflict of interests. Like all other employees he is bound to some important communication restrictions. Yamamushi must discontinue being a community figure while he is employed with Novaquark. This means stepping down as a moderator on Discord and our public forums, while retaining some limited administrative rights (precisely to maintain the DU Bot). He is also bound by an internal NDA contract and won’t be able to share everything as a Novaquark employee. For those who are friends with him, we ask you to avoid attempting to get behind-the-scene information from him, regarding the game or the company. 
 
He won’t be able to communicate or play anymore as Yamamushi, but his love for the community is strong and he will continue to follow the community from the Dev side. He will also not be permitted to be a part of a player-run organization. We know this can be hard to face for such an integral part of our community and this has been a hard decision that may feel frustrating (at least it is for us and for him) but a necessary step to avoid any suspicion of favorizing any group of players in the community.
 
We would also like to take this opportunity to explain what are our internal rules when a member of our community becomes a Novaquark employee:
 
His/her personal accounts are suspended for the time he/she is a Novaquark employee.
  He/she is given an anonymous player account so he/she could still continue to play the game, however, some specific rules apply to such an account:
  a. The Novaquark employee behind should not reveal his/her real identity and/or he’s part of the company. 
  b. He/she shouldn’t join a player-run organization with this account either, for neutrality reasons.
  He/she is given a NQ account, mostly to test things, and occasionally to communicate with the community in-game (if such opportunity arises). Nothing done on this account (coming usually with more powers/rights than a player account) will be transferred on any personal account.
  Thank you for taking the time to read this, please join us in welcoming Yamamushi to the team here!
 
Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.

Congrats Yamamushi for joining the Novaquark team!  
If you want to join us in congratulating Yamamushi (and/or give your feedback on the Novaquark Employee Policy), you can post below in this topic!  
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

Join us on April 30th @ 2pm EST / 6pm UTC for our first official Twitch Stream! 
 
 

Alpha 3 is proving to be a... complex affair, but results are here, cue Station Building Contest.
 
Covid is hurting the world right now but fortunately, it spared Novaquark and Dual Universe, at least in the short term, and their work is ongoing; in the meantime, I snipped 3 months away from the logs and completed the archived chronology accordingly.
 
Whatever happens, we all share a history. Stay safe everyone.

Weekly Update - March 30th - 2020
 
With the current global outbreak going on, the four day test that started on the 19th of March was extended into an eleven-day test to help testers cope with being stuck in their homes. We'd like to thank the team at NovaQuark (who is now working remotely) for making this happen.
 
A/N: A prior test slated for March 12th was canceled due to server issues, see the afore linked news article for details.
 
Fourteen rescues were performed during the course of this test. This brings us to 29 rescues for Alpha 3, and 85 rescues overall.
 
---------
 
My fingers and wrists hurt from all the playtime so here's a handful of the rescues that happened:
 
72: @Shakini was the first rescue of the test, they ended up crashing on Alioth and needed assistance in getting back to a friend.
 
73: On multi-hour journeys between planets, some players like to AFK, be it doing some chores, taking a nap, or even sleeping overnight. @Sinister was AFK on their way to Teoma and I forget if they were sleeping or got held up, but they ended up overshooting the planet by 267 SU. Without enough fuel to get up to a reasonable speed, Spiridon flew out to resupply them.
 
75: @LosNopales crashed on Teoma and had an accident with their resurrection node so they were respawned back on Alioth. Unable to get back into space, I flew out to pick them up and fly them to another one of their constructs in space near Teoma.
 
80: @enderfish crashed a ship on Symeon and respawned back on Alioth but was stuck without fuel. Haunty assisted them with their fuel needs before they flew off to Symeon in another ship for a second attempt.
 
84: @Assar246 also had some trouble with their resurrection node. I picked them up and flew them to their outpost on Alioth where a friend was waiting. On the way there we discussed how they got into that situation (as I do with every rescue so I can describe it for all of you here ) and they had mentioned crashing one of their constructs while going in for a landing at their outpost. The structure they're building was mostly scaffolding that didn't appear until it was too late to take evasive action.
 
We landed and I ran around for a while, somewhat impressed with the amount of industry these two players had set up. Lots of time mining I bet, or just working with a certain organization I don't remember being mentioned, most likely the latter if I recall correctly. If its the former, I commend them, that's gumption.
 
After being assured everything was under control, I bid them safe flying and was about to fly off when, you guessed it. I clipped a corner of their construct, spun out, and did a controlled crash. I wasn't high nor fast so everything was fine. I was sure to fly around and not over the second time around.
 
Also, a big welcome to @RulerOfCats, a new rescuer and programmer. 
 
----------
 
Sadly, I don't have much to say on my personal activities this go-around. Half of the time was spent waiting on the Empire's bureaucracy while the other half was spent playing hurry up and wait on industry. With the cleansing of static constructs, the previous base for Eyes & Ears among them, I'm taking this opportunity to start anew.
 
With the Alpha 2 version looking more like an outpost, with storage for one medium and one small construct along with various human amenities. At the bottom was an all business storage room, nothing special. One floor up was an employee lounge with cooking facilities, a table for six, lockers for ten, beds for two, and a small entertainment area with a fully fledged bathroom facility. The dispatch center was right above which could be manned by four people to manage incoming calls and keep track of ongoing missions and rescuer locations.
 
Finally the top floor featured the directors room which I made to feel more like that corner office every new intern wants. Fancy desk, fancy chairs, big screen tv, comfy couch, a rug, a couple of plants, and a wood floor. In front of the desk along the outer wall were windows offering a view of the marketplace where I watched many players take off and land from. Behind the desk was another set of windows which offered a lookout at the garage space below with a... I'm watching over you sort of vibe.  ?
 
I had hosted two in-game meetings in this room and utilized several in-game elements for some visual displays while we spoke over in our Discord server. The first meeting back in October had some great in-game participation. While some players were too far to attend, I think at least four players were local in our morning session while only two were local in the afternoon session. In these meetings we discussed a few ideas,  one chiefly among them, was how to go about a few features and changes to our website.
 
To make these meetings worth peoples while, I go into them with an itinerary of questions and things I'd like to discuss. Partly so I know what to talk about, partly because I hated school presentations in front of the class, never did like that.
 
The Alpha 3 base will be created in the Empire's new city, Aevitas, and built upon three cores. The basic design is going off an idea someone else bestowed and I'll make a few edits where I think necessary. For those of you that remember that black cube back at District one, well, I'll try a little harder this time.
 
I'm still in the initial phases, haven't even laid the cores down. Is your organization creating a city? Perhaps I can be swayed elsewhere, feel free to PM me (Discord works best, find me in the official DU server) and we can discuss things. ?
 
----------
 
We're only 15 rescues away from 100. I should probably look for a picture to post like I did for 50...
 
That's all for now, until next time, fly safe everyone!

Dear Noveans,
 
We launched the Space Station Building Contest at the end of last year.
The constest has ended in March this year and we can only say that we are absolutely amazed by the space stations that have been submitted!
Kudos to all contestants. We really have a hard time to choose the winners among all the participants.
In order to share with the whole community a glimpse of what has been accomplished, we just made a quick showcase of the best Space Stations on our official YouTube channel!  

Best Regards,
The Novaquark team.
 

At the Heimera Trade Xchange, we know what we want. Right now, we want players that are confident in their playstyles.
Join an organisation with a clear goal and a deep sense of dignity. 
We know our worth.
Do you?

Calling all Hauliers. 
The Heimera Trade Xchange will be servicing a growing demand for logistics in Dual Universe with progressive updates to the game. Heavy and express delivery; refuelling services and personnel transport within and outside of Band of Outlaws are the current responsibilities of our logistics team. If you believe you have the piloting skills to fly a variety of crafts and enjoy flying in general, send in an application and join our dedicated squad of Alioth freighters on our Discord server and in the game.
 
Until then, you are welcome to our server here to ship your goods or register your location with the HTX for simplified gameplay. 
 
 
Spirits, Lavender or Onyx? 
 
Take that Step.

After close to 2 years of operation, I will be stepping down as project lead for the Dual Universe Yellow Pages for varying personal reasons.
 
I am leaving the remaining administrative team to continue running the service as they see fit so please direct questions about the DUYP to @[ Ψ ] ???????? ????? and @Captain_Hilts via this thread or the DUYP Discord.
 
Thanks

Bien le bonjour ! Ravie de découvrir DU  A+ in game
 
 

1. Regular updates \o/
2. Interviews with ppl, orgs or even NQ. I also like to read opinion pieces. Like the writers personal opinion about an org, the game, mechanics, certain aspects of the game and such. Ofc with the nda this is a nogo atm, but later on maybe. 
3. I like the Layout and the stuff which is on there
4. Maybe later at some point, but then I would clearly split that. Not every article needs to be translated. But for example: an in depth view on economics/production might be better in german (if it follows eve then those are the biggest producers)
5. See 2
6. 42
7. Keep it up! This is a very good First step 

1. No brainer -- more content regulary!
2. Special interview-only editorial column, this is always good read.
3. Personaly I like short stories, but may be pause little bit with them until game unfolds more (and more rich material or inspiration can be gathered).
4. For me -- no, english 100% is ok (and I'm not native en speaker).
5. Actual organizational news, this is hottest stuff as for me. 
6. Moment in eternity of non-existence.
7. May be its time to locate more talented recruits, expand content production? 

The staff at Outpost Zebra are unsatisfied with its performance. We know we can do better and are determined to improve in that regard. Before we blindly make sweeping (or otherwise) changes, we would like to hear from you, the community. Over the course of a week or more, we will be open to gathering opinions from the members of these Forums...and then some. Then, we will set up a poll, based on the feedback we receive from you. Founded by @Falstaf, the website caters to the greater Dual Universe community in an objective, professional way. For starters, we have seven pertinent points: 
What do you think Outpost Zebra could do better? What content should be added to make the site engaging? What content is currently unnecessary? Are you interested in multi-language content? If yes, do you know anyone interested in translation? What do you think Outpost Zebra should focus on more? What is existence? Any other suggestions are welcome.   
These questions were open on our server before the Forums. We pass information openly, but first to the people closest to the source: our Discord server. If you have questions, suggestions, or a bit of advice you'd like to share on our server, click here: Discord Server. That said, we hope to engage Noveans more on the Forums. Comment here or in the Discord server and we'll take your input seriously. That includes articles, short stories or opinion takes of your own.
 
While we hope for feedback, constructive feedback is more important. This is a project by Noveans for Noveans. We don't wish to dally before improving the quality of what we have. For an informed perspective, please visit the Outpost Zebra website first: Outpost Zebra. 
 
We look towards hearing from you. 
 
Regards.

example you are on a planet in the X solar system and you have a space background image different than someone in the Y solar system.

A warm welcome to @Ramsai, the latest Novean to become a member of the Heimera Trade Xchange. We reckon that, with enough time, both parties will rise to greater heights. 
 
On that note, visit our OP to view the updated Forum description.
