I actually think that's a pretty cool idea personally  . Don't want to be surrounded by smelly folk all the time!

Thank you HollowMobster hopefully we will go from strength to strength.

I was just thinking of something like a catapult too!  
 
Along the same lines i would love a Working Construct for Landing a ship too.  Something like the docking platforms on stations in Elite Dangerous.
 
A spinning platform that lowers the ship inside and a track that can move the ship into a hanger area after you've gotten out of it.

It would be pretty cool to have locking systems that open due to different scriptable passcodes and passwords. This would add a good measure of security to your bases and maybe secret rooms, etc.

Mmmm meat grinders. Blood for the blood god!

Im really curious how to see this coalition will turn out so, good luck with your endeavors! 

So you're going to make the shirts P2W  (pay to wear)? 

I'd be down for a free t-shirt Xorkil

Oh I don't know about that lol, maybe if you're paying

• Active elements: Maps/Star Maps, something that allows for navigation. Looks nice and has an important function. Scriptable robotic guards to attack enemies on sight.  Security cameras.
• Superficial elements: Plants, decorative scanner devices, maps, pictures, stylish rugs, statues/ornaments.
• Superficial Working elements: All you mentioned Kiklix, plus a mannequin to put armor on, chairs, beds, maybe a wardrobe, computer monitors.
• Emitter elements: Particles, lazer lights    

Yes the building attracted me. I like to build big for the most part, but building with voxels alone isn't enough, there has to be a point to it. I need purpose and a sense of direction. A sense of "I'm building this or doing that for survival or strength, or trade, or industry" will give me that meaning and ingrained sense of purpose I desire as a builder-type.
 
I like the idea of battling for resources if necessary, of obtaining and defending your territory, of exploring vast spaces and seeing how others build up their own piece of civilisation.

As most of you are aware Novaquark is laying down the foundation for Dual Universe. They need to get the game in a strong alpha state before they launch their kickstarter campaign. This means that some of the purely aesthetic aspects of the game will have to come later on, like outfits, player customization etc.
 
This thread is for those who would like to dream of the kinds of elements or "props" as they are called in some other games that they would like to see in dual.
 
There are many different types of elements.
 
• Active elements: Elements that have a function and will most likely be scriptable (rocket boosters, guns, conduits for energy transfer, etc).
• Superficial elements: Elements that are made for decoration only. These are to help add atmosphere to a construct (pots/pans, soda cans etc).
• Superficial Working elements: Elements like stoves, sinks, toilets. Elements that "work" in game with opening doors, flowing water etc, but have no function outside of immersive aspects.
• Emitter elements: Elements that give off an effect such as lightning or electric arcs, waterfalls/flowing water, steam vents etc. These would fall under active elements in most cases.
 
 
List what kind of active or superficial elements would you like to see ultimately in Dual Universe?
 
 
I will start off with these:
 
 
• Active elements:
Ramp doors. Doors that extend outward to allow for easier ingress/egress into a ship style construct. Shield windows. Windows that have closable blast shields.  
• Superficial elements:
Desks Chairs Soda cans  
• Superficial Working elements:
Rotating fans. Fans that rotate at various speeds, couple well with steam vents. Spinning gears. Gears of various sizes that rotate to make mechanical looking machines.  
• Emitter elements:
Steam Vents that blow gusts of steam. Electric arcs. Heads up displays with the ability to change the color of the hud.  ​

If we hit 100 members Lady Astrum will send out free t-shirts to everyone... I think... right? ~grins~

Just amazing! I still can't believe the growth we have in COPS for membership If we get to 100 members, that would be a major milestone for the COPS organization I think

With last Saturdays success at Game Night, COPS will be hosting another one this Saturday! The game I have in mind for this one is Stellaris. It's a great 4X strategy game that has really taken off with the help of a few select mods. I don't have anything set in stone just yet, but I will be sure to let everyone know.
 
As always, this event isn't excluded to only COPS members. Anyone from the Dual Universe community can participate.  
 
Thanks,
Cybrex

COPS had our 60th member join today! I don't think anyone of us thought COPS would become so attractive to people, but thank you very much to everyone who believes in us, who likes our message, who wants to be part of creating our piece of (pirate) civilization in Dual when the time comes, and who supports us going forwards.
 
Thank you all.

There'll be big Organizations coming in, no worries there lol. It's early days, best we start strong early on and build a sturdy foundation for the challenges yet to come!
 
  Thank you for the vote of confidence , I know there's a few here with handy skills and experience, and I too have observed you and am glad you've chosen to join us! *plops a cold, frothy beer on the table*

Hello and welcome TylerFB! 

I will be the benevolent dictator of blackguard, mostly blackguard will consist of me and my various personalities and social disorders. BUT I WILL RULE WITH AN IRON FIST!  But the other hand will be filled with kittens tasty tasty kittens... err i mean adorable lovable kittens. 

At first it flipped a lot for us. Pushing and then getting pushed back. Though near the end of our session, it seemed like TR was gaining the upper hand.

Cool write-up Kiklix. Very engaging and detailed. Really sums up what I seek in a guild. Family feeling, with help and co-operation, but with enough freedom to do what you want, when you want, and even fly your own flag if you wish.
 
Sounds cool to me!
