Hi everyone.
 
We have already a game vision. But we are also aware it can always be perfectible.
And for that, we need you: Help us improve the game in order to make the next best Sci-Fi MMORPG!

Hi everyone!
 
Here is the dedicated thread to discuss about the June DevBlog that has been posted today on our website here.
Let us know what you think of the upcoming changes!
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

When Engineering needs professionals
 

With the recent E3 trailer, it might be a good time to discuss the topic here. And since it might just be a year away or closer.
 
 
Long story short, who's waiting for it? Or hasn't heard of it at all so far?
Who has reservations?
Who likes the general style and might want to copy things in DU?
 
What do you want to accomplish or play in the game?
 
I'm personally looking to get involved in the cop or corporate world and see where the journey takes me.
 
And you?

Wait ! There's more !
While other failing at drinking beer, BOO gets shits done
 
Heeeeeeeeere's a quick teaser of our Mapping System !
 
 

Hi here,
Glad to be here with you guy, i'm little too much hyped like you.
Too soon to looking for a clan or a guild right now so i'm just a lonely guy for the moment.
 
I'have watched too much space dandy, so i want a groovy space ship in DU.
 
And of course i'm french.
 
Cordially

More memes for the meme machine...
 

*holds her tight* I love you Alioth-chan, but I need to mine you for minerals. I'm sorry
 
 

Welcome to the Star-Square
 
A Watering hole for the players of the galaxy. 
 
This is simpel interaction roleplay, sit in a corner, get drunk, argue, and remmber have fun.
 
"this is not serious rp, though some serious is welcomed by the most serius roleplayers, All actions are diced rolled- higher dices equal higher chance, positions are all up for grabs- try though to stay within you choosen faction, everyone is human- only actions hinted in the game is allowed to be used- no superpowers, new rules will be added as deamed approiet, anyone can join- either going into the bar or already sitting in it"
 
 

Well, I hope there are a few of us out there. And if you see an Alicorn flying through space ... that'll probably be me. And I don't give a ship how idiotic this will look. I WILL build it again. And this time i will make it FLY! Hah!  
 

Awsome stuff there ^

Hey, look at this thing we're doing. It's a pretty cool thing.

Link to old thread
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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

WHO ARE WE ? / QUI SOMMES NOUS ?
Forged in the EVE-Online's flames, scattering tears and white flags across the universe, we were known as "[T C F] Tau Ceti Federation" an alliance of the greater RedSwarm Federation composed of GoonSwarm and Red Alliance. Back in 2010, tired of the game, we leaved and created FrogSwarm a strong community with it's own culture, first in World of Tanks then in Star Conflict, War Thunder, Armored Warfare, Elite Dangerous, Albion Online and many others. We mainly evolve in real MMO sandbox games (even if there is shitty moba in the list) because it's our favorite flavor. Our community has seen more than 2,500 members in 9 years and more than 400 active members.
 
Forgés dans les flammes de EvE-Online, dispersant les larmes et les drapeaux blancs à travers l’univers, nous étions connus sous le nom de “[ T C F ] Tau Ceti Federation”. En 2010, lassés par le jeu, nous sommes partis pour créer FrogSwarm une communauté solide ayant sa propre culture, au début sur World of Tanks, puis Star Conflict, War Thunder, Armored Warfare, Elite Dangerous, Albion Online et bien d’autres encore. Nous évoluons principalement dans les vraient MMO sandbox (même si il y a des moba merdique dans la liste) parce que c'est notre style de jeu favori. Notre communauté a vu passer plus de 2,500 membres en 9 ans et plus de 400 membres actifs.
 

OUR GOALS / NOS OBJECTIFS.
Conquer the universe and prick your cookies! FrogSwarm is a thirties+ corporation, PvP oriented and wishing to have a significant involvement in geopolitics. We do not want to live in safe systems, but have our own path, territories and homeland. In other words, we are an organization who wants to have large old school broadside space battles with allies and enemies of the moment. We do not want to be a random corporation with no activity, we have ambitions and we want to succeed in that way whatever the game we play.
 
Conquérir le monde et vous piquer vos cookies! FrogSwarm est une corporation de trentenaires et plus, orienté PvP souhaitant avoir un poids et une implication importante dans la géopolitique. Nous ne voulons pas vivre dans les systèmes en toute sécurité, mais posséder nos propre territoires. En d’autres termes, nous sommes une organisation désireuse de conquête, de grande batailles spatiales avec nos alliés et ennemies du moment. Nous ne souhaitons pas être une corporation lambda dont l’activité est léthargique, nous avons de l’ambition et nous voulons nous en donner les moyens.
 

FROGSWARM IN VIDEO.
 
You can find out all our videos on FrogTube.
 
 
LEADERSHIP.
FrogSwarm is an enlightened dictatorship community. All officers form the executive council in which we listen and debate ideas. Three leaders called "illuminati" settle and choose the most appropriate direction for the organization. If the enlightened dictatorship can afraid some minds, you should know that we have the firm conviction that no democracy has never worked in a game. We are fortunate to count in exceptional leaders who have advanced experience in the space battlefield 'nuff said.
 
FrogSwarm est une communauté en dictature éclairée. L’ensemble des officiers forment le directoire dans lequel nous écoutons et débattons des idées. Trois dirigeants appelés les “illuminati” choisissent les orientations les mieux adaptées pour l’organisation. Si la dictature éclairée peut refroidir certains esprits, sachez que nous avons la ferme conviction qu’aucune démocratie n’a jamais fonctionné dans un jeu, expérience à l’appui. Nous avons la chance de compter au sein de notre communauté des leaders d’exception qui ont une expérience avancée dans le domaine des batailles 'nuff said.
 

NEWBIES PROGRAM.
We help our newcomers regardless of the game to make them quickly autonomous. Our trainers are concerned to show them the workings of things according to their own wishes, accompanying them for several weeks before the release into the wild. Our mumble helps to stick all together according to members activities and play together so our veterans can pass their advanced knowledge to future generations.
 
Nous accompagnons nos nouveaux arrivants quel que soit le jeu afin qu’il puissent rapidement être autonomes. Nos formateurs s’occupent de leur montrer les rouages selon leurs orientations et les accompagnent pendant plusieurs semaines avant de les lâcher dans la nature. Notre mumble permet de se retrouver selon les activités et de jouer tous ensemble pour que les vétérans puissent passer leurs connaissances aux futures générations.
 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS ? / QU'EST CE QUI NOUS DIFFÉRENCIE DES AUTRES ?
All and nothing. We are known in the gaming world for our very special humor that may be too focused on troll for some.
Tout et rien. Nous sommes connu dans le monde du jeu vidéo pour avoir un humour tout à fait particulier peut être trop orienté sur le troll pour certains.

TESTIMONY :
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


INTERNAL ORGANIZATION.
Strong members for a strong corporation! Traditionally the corporation is communist. Players bring a portion of their resources, they pool in the corporation so it helps us to provide many services to our members. But also a 100% ship reimbursement program in case of loss during corp or alliance operations. Our goal is to accompany and enrich our members as we can to make sure they do not lack anything for having the hangar of their wishes and our expectations. We want to have strong sectors of activity, such as production, resources or exploration. Our core business "PvP" is costly, we want to give ourselves the way to practice it at all times and not be limited by personal budget issues or hangar.
 
Des membres forts pour une corporation forte ! De manière traditionnelle la corporation est de type communiste. Les joueurs apportent une partie de leurs ressources, qu’ils mettent en commun dans la corporation, afin que celle-ci puisse fournir de nombreux services pour nos membres. Mais aussi un programme de remboursement de vaisseau à 100% en cas de perte pendant les opérations corpo ou alliance. Notre but est d’arriver à accompagner et enrichir nos membres au maximum afin que ceux-ci ne manquent de rien pour disposer de hangars, en adéquation avec leurs souhaits et nos attentes. Nous voulons avoir des secteurs d’activité forts, tels que la production, les ressources ou l’exploration. Notre activité principale “pvp” étant coûteuse, nous voulons nous donner les moyens de pratiquer celle-ci en toutes circonstances et non d’être limités par des problèmes de budget personnel ou de hangar.

Well... In a daily basis ? Let's see this in image.

RECRUITMENT. / RECRUTEMENT.
We are a French speaking corporation only. Even if it's sad, a lot of French aren't unable or don't want to talk English and will never join a multilingual organization. Then a long time ago we decided to stick in an organization lang based for the dumb Frenches we are.  Only one way to join : http://frogswarm.fr/apply
 
Nous sommes une corporation de Francophones uniquement. Même si c'est triste, beaucoup de français ne veulent ou ne peuvent parler Anglais et ne rejoindront jamais une organisation internationale. De ce fait, il y a fort longtemps nous avons donc décidé de rester une organisation basé sur notre langue natale pour les idiots de chauvins que nous sommes. Une seule façon de rejoindre : http://frogswarm.fr/apply

Tortuga City is a building project of immense proportions looking for builders and residents to join in this great undertaking. Tortuga aim’s to be a community created, neutral player hub for all players in Dual Universe. As Alpha/Beta are now underway, Tortuga’s evolution as a community and city will progress up through launch. We will be testing, making blueprints, and finding out what we really need to keep a city going strong.
 
At it’s heart, Tortuga is a city project for Dual Universe. Organization affiliations and agendas will play no part in the politics or development of this community hub.
Please read this statement about Project Tortuga from Cybrex, the Project Director for Tortuga: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-esur-s4sCeCwH3kDGlV90iz4JkHljSaTOLHaKz_FCk/edit?usp=sharing
 
WHY FOR YOU DU DIS??? 
 
Plenty of organizations have cities planned. Some of these are quite ambitious in scale and already quite advanced in planning. So why are we doing this?
 
Well, it turns out that a bunch of us from different organizations have a real world background; or work in; urban design, town planning, architecture, construction and geospatial (mapping) systems. 
 
And through the course of talking "shop", we realised that real towns and cities grow organically (while guided with zoning), and the idea of a single organization enforcing a certain architectural style or design thinking approach was a bit odd.
 
We wanted to make a place which, while based on some well thought out design rules and urban zoning, would have a feel of a free city, sprung up around trade, rather than a designed urban space (using a grid for instance) one sees with administrative cities such as Brasilia, Brasil, or Canberra, Australia. 
 
LOCATION?
 
In the best interest of developing a city long term, we want to place Tortuga in a safe zone. However, based on how little we know, we are not going to decide the location yet. We could build within the safe zone on the first starting planet, we could build on a floating asteroid in space, settle another planet in the starting solar system, or wait until build it in a completely different system.
 
This is what we plan to find during Alpha/Beta of Dual Universe. Finding out the best possible location that meets Tortuga’s needs.
 
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
 
For now, we have broken the development of Tortuga down into three basic phases. These stages of development will follow Dual Universe from the beginning of the Pre Alpha up until the final release.
 
Phase One: Theory discussion and brainstorming of possible starting points for building. Understanding how the build system works etc.
 
Phase Two: Deals with the actual planning and implementation of theories from Phase One. We will be piecing together Tortuga bit by bit as we finalize it’s layout. This will be a continuous process through Alpha/Beta until release.
 
Phase Three: Begins on the day Dual Universe officially launches. This is when we will be putting the city together in a live setting.
 
HOW TO GET INVOLVED?
 
Join our Discord! We have created a server for all interested in parties for Tortuga. This will also act as the main communication application for Tortuga even after release. Simply join the server, and state that you would like to get involved in the development of the project. If you just want to live in Tortuga, then that’s fine too, join anyway.

BOO IS ACTIVELY RECRUITING PLAYERS AND ORGANIZATIONS
 
BOO WEBSITE LINK
 
BAND OF OUTLAWS COMMUNITY PORTAL LINK
 
A WORD FROM OUR FANS (LINK)
 
Discord: https://discord.gg/mhAaKmA
 
________________________________________________________________________   WHO ARE WE?  
Band of Outlaws is a growing community of gamer's within Dual Universe. Our goal when the game launches is to provide a community environment for all play styles. While our theme and preference leans towards the renegades and outlaws, we are also happy to accept traders, builders, and anything else in between. 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 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. 
 
 
________________________________________________________________________
 
THE PLAN:
 
Band of Outlaws wants to create a community for those who wish to play out their inner rebel, whether that be through pirating, smuggling, being a mercenary, a bounty hunter, and everything else in between. 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 Battlefield 1, Conan Exiles, and several more. We want members to join a family of fellow, like minded internet nerds than just some faction in a singular game.
 
That said, we certainly plan to have Dual Universe as our focus when the game launches, and we have several projects in our development pipeline for our community to participate in when the time comes. I'll list an example of such below.
 
• Project Tortuga: Band of Outlaws plans to accomplish many tasks within Dual Universe with the help of volunteers within our community. We want to create a safe haven for outlaws like you and I, and are planning to construct a free port away from prying organizations who seek to control everything. Dubbed "Project Tortuga", our free port will be available for anyone to use, not just the Band of Outlaws. This project has also been extended to the greater Dual Universe community, and with the help of the Band of Outlaws, we can all have a place to call home.
 
_________________________________________________________
 
 
THE OVERVIEW:
 
 
• Primary language: English primarily.   • Time zone: We accept anyone from around the globe.   • Goal:  To create a support network for players in DU, providing benefits for mercenaries, bounty hunters, you name it. We plan to have several internal services established to let you play out your character in DU. Also, blow things up and make money.      _________________________________________________________   WHAT CAN BAND OF OUTLAWS PROVIDE FOR YOU?
 
• Security in numbers: Our safety network will you keep you and your assets safe.   • Community: We have a vast network of players with a wide array of goals in the game, we all support each other in and outside of the game world.   • Trade: We plan to have a vast trade network, where you can get the best deals by being in Band of Outlaws.   • PVP: BOO will need to protect its assets, and we plan to be very aggressive. We will teach you how to fight, and provide you with the ships to do so.   • PVE: We're not sure how PVE will be in the game, but we certainly plan to be apart of it as we know many players may not want to do PVP.   • Exploring: There is a big galaxy out there, so of course we're going to explore it!     _________________________________________________________  
WHAT OTHER SERVICES DO BAND OF OUTLAWS PROVIDE?
 
• A discord server that is managed 24/7 with hundreds of members playing various games. 
 
• Website/Forums to hang out with other BOO members. (WIP)
 
• An actual gaming community of internet nerds, with the number one focus being fun. This family is open to all. 
 
• A chance to help create something unique and inspiring. Come make history with us!
 
_________________________________________________________
 
HOW DO WE OPERATE?
 
Band of Outlaws is not out to be the next mega corporation with an umbrella controlling every sub-organization within our community. We operate under a general community management system with our Managers and Moderators doing all of the admin work so everyone else can enjoy whatever game we are playing.
 
Within the context of Dual Universe, right now our management for this game is open ended until the game launches and we can see where we need certain positions filled. 
 
_________________________________________________________
 
DBAD CLAUSE - RULE:
 
Band of Outlaws will not drag you down with rule after rule. To sum up how we expect members to behave - don’t be a dick. We’re all here to have fun, and there is no reason to be rude to each other. This includes flaming, hate speech, starting drama etc. Let’s act like grown men and women. This also extends to how members are expected to act towards other organizations/communities. Be respectful, regardless of affiliations.
 
 
_________________________________________________________
 
INTERESTED?
 
We are always looking to recruit new players, or organizations within the Band of Outlaws. If living the outlaw life is for you, then this is the best alliance to be apart of.

NQ just posted a concept art picture of in-game pets:


 
They are generally more active on twitter, sharing some nice concept pictures. ( https://twitter.com/dualuniverse )
This I found particular interesting since I had no idea before that pets were planned

Yeah, that looks pretty swanky. Good job guys.
