    So Now We know.

    Hello all you board members. I'm OutlandishRep, only the most outlandish of posters.

     

    I've amassed quite a bit of hate to those in BOO and have become a meme. I can not wait to hear your responses to this though. This story has been in development and is more of a fluff article. Your going to appreciate this though. It's important to hear.

    no one hates you, you are just hilarious and perfect meme material

    Fan Fiction Guidelines

    in Roleplay & Lore

    Posted

    Now about the necessary rules to follow if you want to see your fan fiction integrated in the official storyline:
     
    - Please read the official storyline first.
    - The fan fiction should be compatible with what is known from the Dual Universe backstory so far. Nothing in the fan fiction should be contradictory with what has already been published. Note: an important Lore update is planned for Tuesday 15th of November 2016. This might give you answers to a lot of questions you migh have until now. It's highly recommanded to not set into stone what you have imagined for your fan fiction before having read this update, if you aim to see the fan fiction integrated.
    - The content of the fan fiction must not include content from another game of fiction universe.
    - The fan fiction should not give any status advantages on specific Player Characters over others. Example: a Player Character involved in a fan fiction can't become the captain of an Arkship or the Prime Minister of a country prior to the Arkship Launch, just because the author of the fan fiction has decided this. 
    - No alien creature should be involved.
    - Physical violence should be limited (No gore or similar things). 
    - Verbal violence and cursing is tolerated but must stay limited.
    - Explicit sexual content isn't allowed.
    - Hate speeches toward real people, real ethnic groups, real religions isn't allowed.
    - Real politics proganda isn't allowed.
    - If the fan fiction is integrated to the official lore, you accept to transfer to Novaquark the right of using the fan fiction content for promotional purpose of the game, without expecting any additional reward or financial compensation in return. 
    - Ultimately, Novaquark staff reserves the right to validate or not a fan fiction in the official storyline. That being said, we will try our best to integrate as many as possible, and will help writers in this direction if they ask for help.

    Does this mean that fan fiction violating these rules will get taken down and permamently removed or will it just not be integrated into official lore

    Honestly im against intelligent or sentient alien lifeforms, an wolf like intelligent hunting pack that actually coordinates with each other and reacts would be nice, but no Empire. IF there are alien sentient lifeforms i hope they get restricted to stone age or even earlier and not real civilizations.

    That said and Alien AI (not lifeform) that inhabits a planet/moon/asteroid wathever, wether it expands or not could be fun and engaging. Take for example the mining drones from stellaris, they sit in their system and (presumably) mine asteroids all day and shoot you if you get to close. If we can find new tech through such encounters i think it would benefit exploration gameplay and surveying and add a lot of depth to the game.

    What makes this game worth $13/£10 per month?

    After reading through the kickstarter page I see that the devs have decided on a subscription model, at $13/£10 per month, a similar price to other popular MMO's.  But I have to ask, what exactly justifies this price?

     

    Games like World of Warcraft, for their £10 per month subscription add a continous steam of new content.  In Dual Univese though, its content is entirely player-made. So what will Dual Universe be adding to the game on a continous basis to justify that ongoing subscription?

     

    Dual Univese looks like a great game, but I don't see how it's worth paying a subscription for, let alone one as high as that.

    The dev mentioned in some interviews that there will be (free) expansions, for example stargates wont be in the game at the beginning and will be added later (i can dig up the inverview where jc says that)

    further more a server set up like the ones this game will use isnt cheap, in fact its ridicoulusly expensive

     

    REVISED: United systems of the outer Belt [USOB]

    in Org Updates & Announcements

    Posted

    I REWROTE THIS FACTION a lot has changed

    The Unified Systems of the outer Belt [uSOB]:     REVISED

    WHO are we?

    We are a pirate group with a little twist:
    Unlike most pirate groups that have a hidden base and operate locally,
    we are speed thinly across the universe and operate entirely ship based.

    This allows us to be highly mobile and operate with most effectiveness as trade routes may change or trade hubs may rise and fall, we are always sure to be near the money flow.
    Further we involve in a few more delicate activities that require medium or higher ranks inside our faction (view below for ranks and security clearance).
    Furthermore we are part of BAND OF OUTLAWS

    WHAT do we do?

    While pirates may be accused as griefers and mindless destroyers, we are far from that. Our goal is much simpler and yet (arguably) better, we are after money. Lots of money.

    “I want to have enough money to allow me to just buy some random dude a deathstar and not feel it” –Aison Bold (actual quote from the community discord)

    How we acquire that money is unlimited in forms, ways or grade of illegality.

    WHY do we do what we do?

    It’s simple, in Dual Universe you do not “Do what you want” you “Are who you want”.
    I want to be rich. That’s it, it’s really that simple.

    HOW do we do what we do?

    Well a good pirate wouldn’t tell his prey how he strikes now would he?
    We raid and steal. And may or may not indulge in other secret activities.

     

    Organization:

    Our organization relies on cell like structures. This diagram explains it better:

    Kqh8gLk.png

     

     

    Explanation:
    Bottom -> middle -> Top; lowest -> medium -> highest

    The red lines represents the security clearance: Any one below them only knows about the rank above.
    Example: An employee/brute knows only (ONLY)
    about his supervisor, he/she does NOT know who the other supervisors are, what their orders are and where they operate.
    Example 2: Supervisors know the orders of their “twin” (the other supervisor under the SAME manager) and of their manager NOT of the other supervisors/managers.
    This is done to make sure that information stays in the faction.



    How an order is issued:

    1. The Executioner tells one (or both) of his speakers that there is a certain (main-) task that needs to be done and assigns it to one (or both) (tasks may stack/one manager may have multiple tasks).
    2. The speakers assign one (or both) of their managers an (sub-) task to either fulfill or help fulfilling the main task the executioner assigned.
    3. The Manager briefs his supervisors, who then brief their respective employees and brutes who then get respective orders to fulfill the sub task, thus also helping to fulfill/fulfilling the main task.

    Specialists:
    Specialists are people who have focused themselves singularly on one task and are mediocre too horrible at any other (due to their skills)
    They assist the executioner who may assign them to somebody or directly supervise them.
     

    Gameplay: we focus on money and player freedom
    thus these laws apply:

    1. Anything we do is in some form responsible for a profit gain, this may be direct or indirect.
    2. Players won’t be limited to doing something they don’t want to do, if somebody doesn’t want to fulfill a task he is free to say so without fearing penalties.
    3. Supervisors (and above) are free to go on raids or other activities with their sub ordinaries.

    4. Dont be an asshole
