Hello all, I was trying to get an image onto my forum signature, and it was not working. It would always say the website was not authorized or used by the forum. Does anyone know what does work in order to put an image on your signature?

In general, I am curious to see how blueprints end up working. I think right now we have a rough idea, but not really a complete picture.

I think they said it will be a currency like EvE, where it can be exchanged like internet currency or BTC.

Or having a kind of spotlight, where certain orgs are selected somewhat randomly based on a couple of factors (when was it made, activity, attention, or ratios of that)

Although being a Nomad will probably be doable, I do not think that it will be a main way of life, besides maybe for miners, pirates, or mini-clans focused around that. I think that it will probably be easier to settle and start a colony then set up a massive (or maybe small ship for yourself) ship for being a nomad. Also, there is the danger that your ships runs out of energy, fuel, or you move too far out of a certain territory and the pirates get you. With all that in mind though, it will still probably be an awesome way of life.

I am very excited, mostly because I am curious about how the game will feel when you play it. Is it like eve, Entropia, an average MMO, or is it completely different?

So, I was curious on what the community thought about the possibility of services industry, as in non-essentials, such as insurance, banking, funding, loans, investment, and other things such as hotels and entertainment. I was wondering if they will be a part of the game, or if the game will be more like EvE, where the majority of organizations have to work mainly on essentials and there aren't, or are limited player-run entertainment groups or orgs, and the banking, insurance, loans etc. that there is is risky, as a player could just grab the money, send it to a friend, and disappear from your radar. Anyway, I was wondering what people thought the role of the service industry will be, whether or major or non existent.

I understand that, and I also respect your opinion. I just think that if this issue could be resolved early, then when others joined they could feel like the community was more authentic and real. This could help the whole game, since then those players could end up pledging and making the game go quicker. Again, I also see your way of thinking, and understand that most, if not all people will disapprove of my actions.

For some reason.....

As a side note, I was not joking about making a bank, so I will make one, but one that is probably a lot smaller.

Greetings, It is I, the nefarious, evil, wicked, retarded and dastardly creator of the Intergalactic Banking Federation. Now first off, I would like to say that what I did was wrong, obviously, and that I in general should not have done it. However, I find that a lot of people did not understand why I had made this organization. I recently moved to DU from Star Citizen. The problem I had with Star Citizen was that, first off, it was not being made, and, second off, each main economy had it's own industry giant, with no hope of catching up. Many of these organizations had joined early, and where stuffed with alternate accounts that had been made before SC had decided to stop players without packages from being able to join orgs. Despite this, accounts that had already joined where not affected, allowing large organizations to remain in control mostly because they inflated the numbers. So, then I saw DU. I instantly sold what I had in SC, and switched over. There was no way you could compete with those giants. But, looking through the organizations, I grew worried. Much of the accounts in the larger orgs (TU, Void) seemed to be fake, or at least inactive. This worried me. After already being scammed out of years of time hoping for SC, I did not want to go through the same thing with DU. So, I made the IBF. I made multiple alt accounts (how I did so I will later explain). The only goal in my mind was to see that, if I pushed hard and made all the accounts so that the community would see, what would Novaquark do? Also, as a note, the perpetrator of these activities where me, myself, and I. There was no one else involved. In the end, Novaquark shut down the organization I had made, which gives me an enormous amount of joy. In SC, the devs don't want to attack the big orgs, because they are their main customers, and they simply don't care. To see devs and moderators shutting down an org, but still allowing the accounts to be free as a kind of second chance was also uplifting, because it shows that the people at Novaquark (I hope I spelling this correctly) don't want to be strict on any one, and are free to second chances. So, in the end, my mission is accomplished. You may not like or approve of my methods, and after this neither do I (I had a surprising amount of stress because of this, resulting in me typing this going on 70 hrs of no sleep), but at the end of the day it made me a staunch DU fan and believer. How I Made That Alts And How To Stop Alts The most annoying thing about the signup system right now for an alt-maker is the recaptcha. This requires a human to do the recaptcha and puzzles it gives. (That is what would take up the majority of the ten hours I spent making alts) However, the other things people thought would be difficult, password, email, nickname, where not that difficult. For email I would use guerilla mail, since you can make unlimited email addresses and for usernames I simply came up with them or had a generator open. On average, it took 3 minutes to make a convincing alt, and about 2 min to make a really horrible alt. Now, there is a very easy way to stop this. Don't allow more than three alts per IP address (all the accounts I made, totaling 150, where made on two devices) do not allow users to have guerilla mail emails, and add more human-required brain work, such as maybe answering a code or making sense out of phrases in the email before the verification process for the accounts begins. If all of this is done, the average time for one alt account could exceed 20-30 minutes. Also, maybe require filling out payment info, or at least residence, that way someone cannot be two people in the system. The Apology Part: I know I might have caused some pain recently. Whether annoyance, anger, or frustration, it was my fault. Please understand, I absolutely hate alts. They where what made me leave SC. I wanted to see if DU could be affected in the same way. The pain, annoyance or frustration I caused was completely my fault, and I sincerely apologize. Getting to know this community, and see it come together to fight my organization was very empowering and motivating. I am now certain that this game will come out, because of the people who make up it's community and the developers, who listen to that community.

Guess I am new to this than

I just saw this video ( ) by MarkeeDragon, one of the Youtubers I follow. In the video, he interviews the CEO of Novaquark. I was wondering if anyone else here had seen it?

The reason for this massive amount of growth is because all of our members have migrated from Star Citizen, a game which was never going to be made in the first place. Our group was made up of an alliance of industrial organizations, but we where always playing catch up to the other organizations. In DU, we have a chance to become a leader of an industry in a game that could become an actual game. Also, if you noticed our recruitment report, we do not think that this growth will last. If anything, we will get a few more players, but most of the players that are joining us from SC have already joined.

I agree. Banks will mostly be for savings accounts, insurance, or for setting up exchanges.

Imagine that in the game xD

Great! I was looking for new footage. It looks like they have gotten a long way!
