    Armedwithwings reacted to Eruend the SkyReaper in “Marketplace Heist” Response   
    This is the worst case scenario. Where the official response to an issue that has been plaguing the general community for the longest time is "It's not our problem" until the devs get hit by it.

    Can you see what kind of precedence you are placing by putting yourselves ABOVE the players this way? SPECIALLY since there was NOTHING in the rules stating that this would be a violation.

    Simply assuming that people will work by your own definition of "common sense" is folly. Specially when your view excludes the "common sense" of other people in the first place.

    My own interpretation of "common sense" here, is that if you allow one person to exploit the system in unintended ways against another player, you should expect this kind of behavior to apply to EVERYONE. you included. If you fail to protect yourselves properly against this, then it falls strictly to YOU for failing to do so. If you do not like this, then you need to apply and enforce stricter rules protecting EVERYONE from these unlawful exploits.

    Heed my warning: If you are going to play favorites, this project will end in bankrupcy.

    The proper way to handle this, would be a slap on the wrist of the people responsible, and working on fixing the issue for everyone.

    So its fine for players endure this happening to their bases but the ban hammer drops when it means extra work for the devs?  As far as I can tell the players robbing bases only did it to fill their pockets and didn't report anything.

    @copycats I believe we've got some french people too, so if you like to do this: feel free to rip my initial post apart, translate parts or all of it and drop it over at the FR section.

    Howdy!
    A year has passed since the founding of our small (yet in ways – mighty) organization.
    A year of fun and memorable encounters with the people of DU community.
    First of all, I want to thank those who supported us in our clumsy early steps – rescued us when we were stranded, helped with parts and advices.
    Your help was not in vain! Being too lazy for creating our own empires, we ended up… well, returning the same good back into the Universe!
    The mission statement of Triumvirate is simple: "Have fun and help others, when you can".
    In my mind, this goal has already been achieved – we trained some newbies to be relatively decent astronauts (most of them survived are now conquering the stars somewhere), generated a healthy mix of enjoyable failures and successes and now looking into the wider roads of Beta to come.
    This is an open invitation for everyone to visit the campfire of our Discord. We're a colorful bunch of international space adventurers (with pinch of special humor) ready to welcome newcomers for stories and doing some galaxy-saving quests in non-optimized, but memorable party. We have no cookies, but will gladly treat you with big bowl of baked beans.

    Introduction

    The primary mindset behind our conception is to promote and establish strong bonds through unity and order.
    Triumvirate functions like a Brotherhood.
    We teach and learn to cooperate in a Tri-force fashion instead of isolated singular units.
     
     
    Symbolism
    The three colored triangles stand for individual Faction members and the triarchy among our ranks. Their position inside the circle is a reflection of the teamwork required, to support each other. The circle represents the Faction's Unity as a whole. Everyone in line within will find support and sanctuary. Last but not least, the central white triangle reflects the fruits of everyone's labor through unity and cooperation.  
    Recruitment
    We are looking for people that strive for teamwork and dedication. If you want to be a part of your own small crew then Triumvirate is the right place for you. Here, all new recruits are divided and organized into three manned squads in relation to their aspirations.
    Form an application through the Community Portal or join our Discord Server and pm @Armedwithwings directly.

    ────────────────────────────────────────────────
    Legates
    Generals/Senate along with the Faction Leader are the ones who make the plans to shape the Brotherhood's future. Behind any major decision,a council is organized to determine the best course of action. Each General/Senate party will be held responsible for a Major Faction Asset.

    I'll tell you something that may be kinda hard to accept given your negative feelings towards the game.
    There's no other game out there that even comes close to what Dual Universe aims to be.
    Right now we're sailing on uncharted waters where anything is bound to happen.
    Server crashes , bugs and countless more gameplay interuptions.
    In the end of the day it's all a matter of faith, and whether you trust the game succeeds or not is entirely up to you.
    One thing is for sure tho, NQ's customer service has been impecable even when it comes to refunds.

    Starting a Christian Organization for fellow believers. If you’re an active gamer and sincere believer in Jesus Christ, I’d like to hear from you. This will not be my first time starting a guild for a game (as I’ve been playing PC games exclusively in a competitive setting for 20+ years) but this will be an organization I’m starting from scratch.
     
    Feel free to message me here or preferably on Discord at mOG#1711. You should be familiar with comms discipline and avoid profanity if you’re looking to join. Taking the Lord’s name in vain and other forms of casual blasphemy are obviously prohibited. Other than that, there are no real requirements. 
     
    Alternatively, if such an organization already exists within Dual Universe, let me know and if there’s not a great turn out from this thread I may end up just putting in an application there.

    Outpost Zebra is back online! Check out our new website and let's talk. With the new formatting and outlay of the platform, we're also introducing some changes. Going forward, individual authors will be allowed and encouraged to post content themselves. Naturally, the staff will offer editing and proof reading services as requested.
     
    There are open positions for reporters, contributors and fact-checkers, too. Send us a message via Discord or through the contact form on the website if you're interested in filling any of these roles. 
    From now until Beta, advertising on our website is also free. Once Beta starts, the proceeds in Quanta will go to paying the reporters and fact checkers of Outpost Zebra in-game. Talk to us if you want an advertising spot.
     
    If you want to share content that's not in English, we're open to the idea. Dual Universe is a diverse place: limiting the platform to one language alone is not our goal. 
     
    As always, we're on Twitter, Discord and the Forums. Whether it's stories, news, articles, a friendly conversation or anything Dual Universe related, chat with us sometime.

    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!
