Band of Outlaws is a honey badger worshiping space cartel within Dual Universe. We plan to be the premiere organization for those who enjoy a less than serious organization, with a cartel/mafia theme to spice up our unique community culture. Our goal is to always enjoy the game, and to knock over as many sand castles as we can.
 
We are happy to accept mercenaries, pirates, smugglers, traders, builders, explorers, and any other play style in this game. We want to encourage everyone in Dual Universe who has a heart for a sense of community and gaming to join us, whether as individuals or with your own group. Either way, we have a growing support network that anyone can benefit from.

We also understand games can be hard to commit to, and acknowledge the fact that people have lives outside of the internet. We won't force you to do anything, the only thing we want you to do is to have fun and play the game your way, hopefully with us among friends.
 
Already want to join? Scroll down to the bottom for the info.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Unlike the majority of organizations within Dual Universe who want to create their own space empires or industrial mega corporations, we wanted to create the first Cartel for the game and its community. BOO will provide many services ranging from discreet goods transportation, a bounty hunters network, asset security, and everything else in between. All of which can be purchased for the right price of course.
 
We wanted to create a community in DU that did not take itself seriously, but could still be a powerhouse organization through economics, industrial power, force if necessary, and memes. We intend to help with the construction of neutral, free trade player hubs like our Project: Tortuga. Tortuga is our code name for one of Dual Universe’s first planned neutral player hubs that will be created on a planet when the game releases.
 
That is just a small portion of what our community is going to accomplish, as we have been steadily growing in several other games such as Destiny 2, Path of Exile, Hell Let Loose, Overwatch, and several more. We want members to join a family of fellow, like minded internet nerds than just some faction in a singular game.
 
 

 


 
Strength in numbers: Being the 2nd largest organization in Dual Universe, we have more than enough manpower to protect our own assets and those of our members.
 
PVP: Want to bathe in the blood of your enemies? Did that space trucker look at you sideways? Just like to see the galaxy burn? We can ensure you that we will do all of that and more. We love PVP, do you love PVP?
 
PVE: Huh?
 
Industrial Powerhouse: We have some of the brightest minds in the DU community theory-crafting our industrial process’ for churning out our ships and construction materials to keep you busy if building and production is your forte.
 
Ship Replacement Program: We like PVP, did we tell you that yet? While we will be blowing holes in other players’ ships, some will be blown into ours as well. We can keep you in the fight with our organization funded SRP program where you will be given a free replacement for your ships if they are lost/destroyed on BOO business and operations.
 
A true gaming community: DU isn’t our only game, join our Discord server of 400+ members to hang out with a community of somewhat likable nerds. Come for the memes, and stay for the memes.
 
Memecrafting: We live by the meme, and we die by the meme.
 

 
 
BOO is not a democracy, but we place our members as the number one focus of our community. Everything our leadership does is done with that goal in mind, and if it doesn’t work/fit our culture or it just chaffs the community in the wrong way, then we find something else that does work and keep moving forward.
 
This keeps our foundation strong, and allows our community as a whole to adapt to whatever it needs to adapt to in order to keep everyone happy and having fun. Our leadership volunteers their free time to ensure that BOO is always at its best, and that our members are taken care of. Below is a quick diagram of our current leadership.
 

 

 
Like any good space cartel, we are also home to several organizations within BOO. Groups like Vanguard, a private mercenary corporation, benefit from everything that BOO offers its core members without losing their own identity and autonomy. We like to call these groups SIGs, or Special Interest Groups. Special Interest Groups help to provide day-to-day content for their members.

 
 
To apply to BOO as a SIG, go to this link and fill out the application: https://goo.gl/forms/OxVSpl69byEFLQN62
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
BOO is all about quality over quantity, and with that, we have some standards we put in place that we would like potential members to meet. Our Discord server and wherever else we hang out is always filled with the finest quality of meme’s in Dual Universe. Seriously, we’re home to some of the most iconic memes in DU already. Here is what we call "The Code", these are our community guidelines, and is what every member will follow in Dual Universe and other games. 
 
 

 
 
That’s really it. If you can meet those expectations, and feel that you would be a good fit in our community, then we want you. The recruitment process is simple, and you only need to submit an application to our group on the community portal, and to also be sure you join our Discord server to conduct a quick one-on-one interview with one of our recruiters where you will be asked a series of questions to make sure you are a good fit for us.
 
NOTE: If you are wanting to apply as a SIG, contact Cybrex on the forums, or on our Discord server.

 
 

 

 
Applying as an organization? Contact our Diplomacy Director, Cybrex, to inquire about joining BOO with your organization as a Special Interest Group. You can also join our Discord server, where someone on our Diplomacy team will get with you as soon as they can to get the process going. If you are ready to apply as a SIG, then please visit this link and fill out the application: https://goo.gl/forms/OxVSpl69byEFLQN62

 
Applying as a member? Sweet! Send your application to us on the community portal here, and be sure to join our Discord server so we can conduct your interview. You can also contact our Internal Affairs Director, Anslem Vry. NOTE: If you apply and do not join our Discord server after a week from submission, your application will be denied by default.

Yip yip Woop Woop \o/
Btw the song is "Get Back" from Ludacris

Do the Honeybadger Dance!!! 
 
*Disclaimer: NSFW lyrics. It's all meant in good fun

The capabilities of this scripting seems so crazy to me to be in an MMO setting like this, I can only imagine what sort of things we can do with it!
 
I can make BOOs tourist attraction the Phallic Museum. 

Am I the only person on this forum that doesn't care about everyone's stupid drama? The game hasn't even come out yet and you're carrying on like it's all a big deal or something. Save all the buthurt for when there's actually something to fight over, because right now you're basically fighting tooth and nail over your own imaginations.

I am proud to announce that Vanguard has joined BOO (Band of Outlaws). as of the 6th of July (Yes, I know I'm late.) We will remain whole as a mercenary organization within them and plan to stay true to any deal or contracts we’ve made. With this new change we will also be changing what we require of new recruits.
 
Joining BOO opens many doors for us as a group. In return we are helping BOO get their SIG (Special Interests Groups) program up and running by being the first group to participate in it. Being a SIG does not make us a vassal of their group but instead fully integrates us and gives each of our members access to the same programs, resources, and utilities as any other BOO member. We will not accept any contracts targeting BOO members but otherwise we will still take on any other acceptable type of contract.
 
With that said, we hope to pick back up recruitment and welcome many new members into our tight-knit family. With Alpha fast approaching (but not fast enough) people are slowly emerging from hibernation and activity is picking back up.
We hope to see as many of you in the DU as possible. 
 
See you on the other side o7

Hey there
 
Here are some i did with GIMP for BOO, mixing free use stuff and funny quotes :
 

 

 

 
And we've put that one on ex-UL discord when they came to try recruiting BOO's members, let's call it "Fun Power" (like soft power, hard power...) or "Fun diplomacy" with BOO
 

 
1 poster every week for a dozen of weeks

Wubalubadubdub my friends. 
Episode 2 airs tonight. I'm assuming that means season 3 is a go. 
 
I just thought I'd share that. ?

Band Of Outlaws gave us their recruitment poster and I'm very proud putting it up on the wall...or should that be up against the wall? Being a poster of BOO and all...
 
I must say its a pretty sweet poster with a lot of character, you should check it out. Feel free to contact us if you want to advertise your Dual Universe cause. ????

Dear all,
 
In the wait of Dual Universe, FrogSwarm decided to jump into Empyrion which is quite the 'same' kind of game, so I decided to tell you some of our story in it.
 
We made our sweet home a spatial base in a deep space and we own multiple mining outpost on some planets for its interesting mineral resources that helps in our ship production.
 
One of them is called Netpune, very popular for the peaceful traders and miners corporation since they live here and call it home. But a few months later, the miners explained us they had a ruler corporation on Neptune called IMT blackmailing them since they had the biggest military forces and nobody would try to fight. Moreover this corporation wasn't respecting any of the server's rules, using exploits to give them monstrous advantages and not listening at any request from the other corporations of the planet. More than that, miners and traders, where afraid to ask anything to them.
 
One of the problem was IMT had 7 huge bases on this planet. And because there is a limit of buildings number you can place in a planet, no one else could be able to create anything. And one other was the huge number of usefulness blocks they had making the planet stream loading very laggy.
 
When we heard that, we decided to jump in and help them in a diplomatic way. We federate then to write a request in the official forum, for a diplomacy start. They kindly asked IMT to remove some of the blocks to help people about the lag since it was really awful and we showed our support by answering that we also were going to remove some unnecessary stuff we had on our outpost to help even if we weren't directly concerned.
 
 

 
 
The MIT leadership answer came and talks by itself. But what they didn't knew when they posted is that this arrogance would lead them to their loss. Their ignorance of the military force of FrogSwarm was a good reason to give them a lesson of humility.
 

 
 
Operation 'Arrogance'

At Saturday 09:00pm, FrogSwarm lauched the operation 'Arrogance'. Exclusively a photo of a part of our capital fleet parked on an outpost waiting the order to jump. As well a close photo of one of our Battleship.
 

 

 
An hour later, the main base as well as 6 other IMT bases are destroyed, included their entire capital fleet in orbit on Neptune. FrogSwarm will lose a single capital ship and two tanks on the ground. If I can not give the details of our strategy, I can simply say that IMTs did not expect such a surge. We fought in the same time in the bases with our intervention forces, on the ground with our tanks and finally in space with our capital fleet.
 
At 10:30pm we celebrate the success of your operation, our capital fleet hovering above the old IMT base now owned by us and renamed for the occasion as: 'Option #4' before giving all we captured including resources and vessels to the corporations of Neptune in equitable sharing and offered them the protection of our capital feet hovering above during the 'looting party' of their bases still smoking before packing and returning on our space base.
 
The planet being freed from the IMT tyranny, we posted this:
 

 
 
And the Miners / Traders are very happy and thankful for what we did.
 

 
We offered to reopen the dialogue with IMT, but no any answer to date.
 
So, we destroyed the last IMT base in another planet called Osiris on Sunday and Monday they tried fight back, but they loss their entire cap fleet for the last time since they don't own anything more.
 
 
That's it ! I hope you enjoyed it, see you for the next chapter.

Hey great idea ! Good luck

Server is up! It is a 50 slot so plenty of room.

Just made this little AD for Alioth Aerospace Expo. Enjoy!
 
https://youtu.be/RpA6hcT7TXQ
 


 
see you all at the EXPO!

Dear leaders, directors, CEOs and presidents of the industry,
today, I am here on behalf of Objective Driveyards to propose a beneficial offer.
We would like to propose the creation of a Company-wide Expo to showcase the greatest technologies, accomplishments and designs the shipbuilding industry can offer.
Participating in alpha and beta will be free for everyone interested and may help each of us to improve our reputation and make our names known.
We ask your participation in this Expo as a joint project between many ship building organizations to make this a project with impact and value.

The discord for this event can be found here https://discord.gg/agD4r5X



The Alioth Aerospace Expo is an exciting opportunity for ship enthusiasts, pilots, and manufacturers to gather and celebrate the latest and greatest in aerospace technology.

When and where will the expo take place? The Expo will be an exclusive week-long event held semi annually in a convention center within the Arkship safe-zone. The first trial expos are slated to be held some time during Alpha and Beta.

Why should I attend? The Expo aims to become a central hub of the shipbuilding scene. It is an opportunity for both industry giants and innovative startups to attract new civilian and military customers, by showcasing their talent to the wider player base.

How will the Expo be funded? Exhibitions of various sizes will be rented out to attending manufacturers. In addition, sponsorships from outside organizations will be accepted. Alpha and Beta Expo attendance will be free of charge in an effort to raise awareness about the event.

How will the Expo be organized? The expo will be organized by an Honorary Committee, made up of attending organization leaders and respected community members, who will elect an Executive Director for each expo. They will handle logistics, organization of the expo, hosted contests, and events.











And many others! Check the discord for more! https://discord.gg/agD4r5X

Like your logo, good job !
 
Good luck for your org

First, and most importantly, this isn't an official NovaQuark project, and I don't have any idea what the interfaces in the actual game will look like, I'm basing most of this off of the LUA Dev blog and my knowledge of how C/C++ bindings are exposed to LUA. If they want me to change the name of this I'll be happy to. Secondly, I have no idea where this topic belongs so I'm posting it here in General. I think we need a programming-related subforum but that likely won't happen until Alpha at the soonest. 
 
 
Over the Holidays I was thinking about tools I could work on now that might be of some interest to people out there. Things like a ship crew scheduling app, a wiki for programmers, a timeline site keeping track of DU events, a ship delivery scheduling utility, etc. Ultimately, however, I kept coming back to this idea, as it would help me while learning a new language for my job and it would help people who don't know much about LUA (or programming in general) start to wrap their head around what it might be like in DU (as well as help some of those AI-projects out there). 
 
 
I came up with the idea to create a Core Unit "Emulator" as a standalone web service that people can target with LUA scripts. 
 
I'll try to explain what this looks like... 
 
A programmer would set up LUA on their computer, install the LUA sockets module, as well as copy a piece of code into their own projects that would bootstrap them into being able to communicate with a server over the net.
 
From there, function calls into an object would act as calls to a "Core Unit", which under the hood would really just be some socket communications going on to a server doing all of the actual work. 
 
From the perspective of a programmer, they get access to various details about a ship (speed, velocity, pitch, yaw, rotation, etc) that they have to adjust to meet a set of parameters (per round) after a simulation is run. So your scripts would have to account for things like losing an engine, running low on fuel, turbulence, etc. and ultimately get the ship into a given set of passing parameters within a given period of time. 
 
Alternatively, I could write a standalone program that you use to run your scripts against, it doesn't particularly matter to me if it's a remote service or not. 
 
 
 
How does this help new programmers? It would give the ability for people to try writing LUA in a way that resembles what LUA programming in games is actually like. 
 
It won't be what Dual Universe is exactly like, none of us have the ability to write something like that because we can't know what the interfaces actually are. However, it will give you enough experience in LUA to be able to adapt what you learn very quickly. Ultimately it comes down to having a set of elements giving you information via function calls, processing that information, and being able to do things with said elements via other function calls. If you can get around that basic concept then you'll be in a much better position overall. 
 
 
 
 
It would give people an excuse to start learning LUA now, but it won't be very "fun" or realistic, and you'd have to use it knowing that it's not like Dual Universe at all. There probably wouldn't really be graphics either, you'd be flying by sensors only... 
 
I'd even love some help building it on the server side, which I'm currently doing in Golang because I have to learn it for my job. It's not super difficult to program in, but it would certainly be cool to have a helping hand on programming the actual physics side of things. I just don't want to do it all myself, although things like this tend to go that way. 
 
All in all, I'd be willing to help people learn LUA along the way as well, provided you have some knowledge about computers already. You could easily take what you learn and apply it to other games that are scripted through LUA as well (WoW is one of them). 
 
 
Who would be interested in even using something like this?
 
 
I guess I should make a video explaining all of this, as this wall of text is probably too verbose. 

"We don't give a shit" should be out motto
 
Join us ! We also play Space Engineers, Battlefield 1, Overwatch and EVE. We're here for the fun and the lolz \o/
