The following info can be found in the Sep 24, 2016 Kickstarter AMA Event Video: (Without getting into the whole biased PVP/PVE off topic debate I'll just give you the answers that came straight from JC)

 
 

Answer at 9:56 into the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efu_129hI9o&t=596s

Question: Damage: "What will the damage model be like? Will collisions damage ships? Will weapons blast holes in the voxel structure or will ships just have a health percentage?

Answer: That way damage is gonna be implemented most likely in construct vs construct, is that we'll use the fact that every voxel is editable, so you could actually "edit" a hole in it. "an area of destruction." So we will implement a way to select the place where you want to shoot, then you shoot. Based on stats and other skills and the type of weapon damage that you use and the types of protections and the type of materials and all sort of things, there we'll be an amount of damage that happens to the ship. We may try to aggregate the overall level of destruction to give you a visual feedback so that you have an idea of a percentage of destruction, but it would be purely informative. 

Things will actually be destroyed, or things will be deactivated if you loose an engine or if you loose a certain weapon. It will just cease to be operational in your construct. So this is aiming to being very realistic. 

What we want to have is that collisions between constructs will actually create damage, we could do it technically, but the idea that in terms of gameplay, we don't want people to build some kind of torpedo ship and just slam ships over each other and I don't think this is going to be a great addition to the gameplay but it will certainly be a great addition to the load on the servers, so we favor, rather than that, we favor missiles that will formally be implemented and that will not actually involve physical objects flying. But again the usual "lock and fire" mechanism with the stats behind the scenes."
 

See @supermega's answer above.

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
 

 

Name: Yamamushi
 
Region/Timezone: All the time
 
Language: English
 
What type of Organization are you looking for?
I am looking for an organization of people who want to help organize events and that will value what I have to bring to the table.
 
Desired role(s) you wish to play in-game: 
Events organizer, project manager. I have started numerous projects in and out of DU. If you know who I am, then you know what I can do for you.
 
Roleplay interest?
Yes
 
Other: 
As I've told others, I am not going to fill out your application to join your group. If you want me for my talents and for what I have to bring to the table, then you already know what I've done in DU and you presumably want to help those efforts. If that is roadblocked by me filling out a form to join your group, then you don't value me anyways and quite honestly I'd rather work alone than with people who are going to treat me like another cog in the machine. I already have a day job, I don't need a second one. 
 
I'm looking for a group that will work as hard as I do on things and has people that are excited to jump in and assist on projects. 
 
I'm not looking for org drama, I'm not looking for people that are going to micromanage me and tell me what to do. I want the freedom to keep working on these projects under someone's banner so that I can get help with them (DU Radio, The Contests I run, the giveaways I've had, the physical items I've had made, the list goes on). So it goes without saying that I am looking for an org with at least a handful of motivated people in it, and not solo orgs or people who don't have the time to work with me on anything. 
 
I don't have a lot of high hopes posting here, and more and more it seems like I'm just going to end up playing the game alone, but I figured someone out there might be interested in having me under their umbrella.
 
Preferred contact method: 
Discord

Not necessarily Coke. I think you're confusing UA with a secure area...

UA's are everything outside of the ArkZone and MoonZone. The way I understood it was, that ASA and MSA are the  Safe Zones we've been discussing all the time. The UA is just another fancy name for the territories outside those Safe Zones. Which we still knew that those zones would be subject to the RDMS system. And we still know those can be secured by "Force Field". 
 
You CAN have your cities and be protected by Force Fields and RDMS, but once that Force Field Drops, as per the what the blog states, the 24-48 protection bubble will go online, after that,  anything is free to happen, whatever happens.

Destruction maybe? - I think this is fair, 24-48hrs is more than plenty time to get notified and take actions before its completely destroyed.

Over the years, since the creation of The Galactic Republic of Planets, the goals and focus of the Republic were both unclear and unmet. As a long standing and oldest organization in Dual Universe, this was both; unacceptable and distasteful. This came as an unwanted side effect; forgotten. Something the Republic was not looking for.
 

 
The Galactic Republic of Planets of Past
The Galactic Republic of Planets served its' purpose, be a strong and well influential organization in the early days of Dual Universe. This, however, changed as the Dual Universe morphed into more than that.
 
To cope with these changes, The Galactic Republic of Planets is no more.
 

 
The Astrum Empire of Now
The Astrum Empire is a complete Monarchial Organization. It's Focus. Bringing sustainability to its land, prosperity to its' citizens, aid to those in need, create long-lasting friendships, and to maintain a golden era of growth in Dual Universe
 
Welcome. To the Astrum Empire of Now!

I) About Dual Universe (and/or a DU Organization) Advertisement
 
(a) It's fine to advertise the game and/or your DU Organization(s) to players you already know or with whom you have already played with in other games without harassing them. If they aren't interested, do not insist.
 
(b) It's absolutely not acceptable to enter other gaming communities with the only intent being to randomly advertise Dual Universe or your DU Organization to players you don't know. Being polite isn't enough. Participating in said group with the intention to legitimize your advertisement is not enough either. You won't fool many people with this method. While one player may be convinced to join your Organization, it will most likely antagonize significantly more players, making them hostile toward you and Dual Universe due to these cheap and inappropriate practices. 
 
If you don't understand why this is wrong, just imagine players coming from 10 different game communities and invading your Discord, subReddit, or Steam group, falsely pretending to be interested in the game you’re playing while instead being there to make advertisements for the game he plays in your channels. Any person would quickly be tired of this behavior and ban them all, as well as form a negative image of the game that has been advertised. Please don’t do this.  Not only is this rude, this can be considered harassment in addition to brand damage, which could result in a ban from Dual Universe for such behavior.
 
(c) While it didn’t seem clear for everyone so far (despite being in our EULA and in our forum chart here), here is a strong reminder: impersonating Novaquark staff is a serious offense. This will result in a permanent ban without further notice or discussion. There is also no limitation period for this offense (meaning: if we got proof of Novaquark staff impersonation several months or even years later, the sanction will still be applied).
 
(d) While this has been some kind of grey area until now, there won’t be sanctions applied to involved Organizations for the past actions. However, from now on, Organizations that will benefit from the aforementioned bad practices could see their member list reset at Novaquark’s sole discretion. We wish to make it clear that there is nothing to gain from such advertisement and recruitment practices as well as inform other gaming communities that the Novaquark staff will not tolerate these methods of advertisement and recruitment.

II) About Gifting Practices as a Recruitment Incentive
 
Novaquark has not enforced any strict rules regarding gifting practices so you are free to gift DACs or Supporter Packs as you see fit. However, we don’t encourage use of this freedom as a recruitment incentive unless you are perfectly fine with the definition of "gifting" (giving something for free to someone else without expecting anything in return for this gift). 
 
Before gifting a DAC or a Supporter Pack, you should carefully consider that a player could leave your Organization or simply never join it at all. In this situation, this will be your responsibility and we will not refund nor reverse the gift you made to another player. The Novaquark team will not step in to oblige the receiver to fulfill his part of the bargain either (if there was any).
 
So choose and gift wisely.
 
If you have any further questions on the topic, please let us know.
 
Best Regards,
The Community team.

Congratulations to @Falstaf for the second Community Spotlight: https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/04/10/community-spotlight-2/
 
You deserve this one Falstaf, and we're as happy as you could possibly be with the interview and the spotlight. It's great to see your hard work with Oz getting limelight too!
 
Many cheers and good wishes from all of us at the HTX!

To be honest, I totally agree with this statement. If the Player Contracting System is done perfect, there's really no reason to have also a Bounty Hunting system. I'm sure NQ is looking to making this happen... ~(°-°)~
 
But yeah,  Full fledged contracting system should cover that too...
 
 
 
 
Knowing TutsieRoll he'd be the 1st one to put a bounty on my head and have Swifty collect it :/

What founders generously received when the supporter packs were announced are mostly cosmetic in-game items and not entire "packs". What those cosmetics are, are listed in the post where that image comes from:
 
https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/2018/03/07/supporter-rewards-for-founder-backers/
 
Besides cosmetic in-game goodies:
Silver Founders now get access to Alpha 2 (not beta like the would have previously)
Gold Founders gets a name reservation
(Sapphire Founders and up get a few more cosmetics.)
 
NQ have stated that they are looking into allowing upgrading from Founder packs to Supporter packs as there are quite a few people asking for this.
 
Are NQ really treating Founders worse by handing out free stuff?

Critics claimed "it occured" and "it is a game"

The announcement will be posted on our Facebook, Twitter and on the official website in the news category. We'll also send an email to the players that subscribed to our mailing list!
