Circles

Sorry to give a simple answer, but I think that space is meant to feel empty, untouched lands, new horizons. No bots that have gotten there first. 

I look forward to seeing you grow.

Since the beginning of the year, we have witnessed unhealthy behavior from several members in the Community.
As many are relatively new and some older members seem to lose focus of Novaquark's vision for Dual Universe, here is a strong reminder.
 
Dual Universe is a game where there will be wars, power struggles, conflicts, plots, spying, information warfare and betrayals. It's all fine... as long as it stays within the framework of the game.
 
We are aware that a fair amount of people have a hard time to differentiate in-game behavior and real life behavior. While someone can be infamous, merciless and twisted in-game, that doesn't give him/her the right to forget elementary good manners outside of the game. Following the concept "the end justifies the means" will never be a valid reason here.
 
Novaquark expects from each community member to:
1) respect the EULA and forum/Official Discord code of conduct
2) be respectful toward any other member or at least neutral toward the members you don't like outside of the game, whether they are newcomers or veterans.
(neutral means: no free provocation, no real life insults or real life threats, as already mentioned in forum and Discord chart)
3) avoid using any real-life conflict, unhealthy real-life behavior or drama (made on purpose or not) as part of the game (because it's not) as this can escalate in very toxic and unnecessary situations.
4) avoid using any underhanded real life "tricks" to gain an advantage in-game. This includes:
- real life threats or real life harassment with anonymous accounts outside of the game (on Discord or any other online means).
- doxxing, doxxing attempts, or any behavior like gathering real-life information that could lead to doxxing.
- leaking publicly private discussions about real-life topics (especially when showing only carefully selected pieces with the deliberate intention of biasing the facts) without the agreement of all people involved. This also includes Novaquark’s investigations that haven’t been publicly announced and about which you may have been informed through a private channel/room or a private discussion.
- making false accusations, creating NDA leaks or false NDA leaks to accuse someone else with the goal of making them punished or banned from the game.
 
As a company, we want to provide a fun and welcoming experience to our fans and can’t tolerate inappropriate real life behaviors that potentially ruin the gaming experience or worse, lead to real life consequences.
 
If the Novaquark staff gets enough evidence on any of those behaviors, the team may give any sanctions deemed appropriate without further notice.
If you see some community members having inappropriate behavior, please point them toward this forum thread.

Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.

Everyone will be in the same "shard/server".  Literally every single player.  And that's why not having NPCs works - because there should be plenty of players to make it feel lively.

If it takes months to fix a community website for NovaQuark then it might take them months to fix in-game glitches.

Please fix your website cookies for the privacy policy, it is setting a bad example for your video game you're working on. It says, "we don't care if it's broken, we'll get around to it eventually" which is unacceptable to a single shard, major glitches will be needed to be fixed within a day. and minor glitches within a week.

Maybe animals, maybe space beasts or big mythical worldly beasts. But AI as humans, or as ships or alien ships would really detract from the fact it's a single shard mmo that is ran by the players. I don't want to be running around seeing ships and people and being like "is that a person or an AI?" I always want to be like, oh... enemy ship approaching it's definitely a real person. Oh there's a guy walking alone in the desert, it's a real person! Not some random side quest npc or something dumb.

Sorry to anyone who likes the idea of NPC's but they could only detract from this games ideas of single shard mmo.

A core Sci-Fi MMO player here. New to this and love what I am seeing. WTB a time machine so I can fast forward to 2020!!

still liked flowerflower, reminds me of petpet

I don't want to point out the obvious, but your name basically means "Flower Flower."
Lotus is a flower, rose is a flower. Flower Flower.

Our first HQ.

These guys will seriously get your back, i'm sure they are ready to succeed. 

Hello and greetings I’m Firestorm and a am a part of the Dark Star Imperium, a relatively new DU org that was formed by over eight large orgs who consist of friends and enemies alike from a game called “Space Engineers”. We have been contemplating a switch to DU for over a year now and decided now was a good time to start laying the ground work for our org. So far in just four days we made it to org page four and are steadily climbing. We are focused on PvP but we are a well rounded org that intends to be not only PvP but also self sufficient in all sectors. Alliances are being made, treaties, trade deals are being brokered and people are enrolling for Citizenship with the Imperium. We look forward to doing business with you all and maybe, just maybe we will see YOU! In Dual Universe

I was kind of looking for this at E3 since it actually comes out this year. I hope Novaquark gets some spotlight soon for their release. Welcome.

That is definitely better, and an easier read too. Perfect
 

Hi!
 
I'm Arcana and this is the kind of game I've always wanted. The single shard technology, so much being player created and driven, and the player scripting element.
 
Somehow I only learnt about the existence of this game today and already my hype is very real lol

Little red birds - shot killed - confusion - chaos - death happening before life - despair - this,,, this feeling;  giving up on something before it begins - laughter - tears - voices - darkness - fog - disturbing images
Continuous swirling - trapped -- Now I’m consciously aware of it -  I’m trapped - a thought comes from somewhere distant - someone hacking my dreams?.....

Always good to have those who can keep it real, welcome.

I believe in equality, all toys must be broken 
 
And thanks for the welcome  

It's more fun to break the mean kids toy. Welcome.

Hi Guys, just signed up to the forums, looking forward to alpha one whenever that may be so i can get stuck in with this, Iv'e heard nothing but good things, I cant wait!  

I'm a human space pilot. Looking forward to joining you all in an epic adventure!

Thanks! Excited to be a part of a great gaming community  

Of course building and designing will be fun, but the real thrill will be from diplomacy with real players! Very interesting.
