Circles reacted to Aaron Cain in Automatic recognition of offline attackers Organization ID
No ID should automatically be seen. If you want to know who i think a detection system should be possible that you place yourself, but no auto detection. Make it some effort to get to know your attacker, radar, Lidar, other detection systems, any detection system whatsoever. But not automatically by the system. If NQ does not want to automate, then also no automation on attacks, just need some creativity

Circles reacted to CalenLoki in Automatic recognition of offline attackers Organization ID
Player can belong to multiple organisations. But he can choose to repersent only one of them.
You couldn't see all of them, because it should be possible to hide belonging to some of them.
So you'd be only able to see what he wants to show you (i.e. only his name).
Quite useless feature if you ask me.

Circles reacted to GunDeva in Scrapping captured enemy ships?
We don't know yet and nothing has ben released that I know of on this subject but in theory if I destroy a enemy ship after I destroying its core that should sever all ties of ownership of that construct and I should be able to salvage it or place in my own core and try to take control of it ? If this is possible people will probably try to hide the location of there cores forcing attackers to have to destroy a lot in order to find the hidden core and maybe giving them time to counter attack be for losing all the materials they used !
-
Circles reacted to NanoDot in Scrapping captured enemy ships?
I would expect that salvaging would be limited in scope, otherwise not enough materials would be lost.
That in turn reduces the incentive to prospect and mine for ores, as "recycled" materials re-enter the manufacturing chain.
If materials are not constantly removed from the game world, the "pool" of resources in circulation will rapidly grow, and could result in a situation where mining is only worthwhile for the rarest resources. But even "rare" will become common eventually if things are not lost...

Circles reacted to TheBlender in Are you lost? (HIRING)
"Don't distress, call wayward express"
Have you lost your way?
Perhaps you simply overshot your destination, perhaps you flipped your fighter, or perhaps you got caught in cross fire of some battle - no matter. Whatever you reasons, we'll get you where you have to go.
Where do you fly?
We fly everywhere permitted, all public stations and cities, or as close as permitted, for a fee. We cater to your needs, and attempt to give everyone a cheap and affordable method of space travel should you be unable to purchase/build a ship, or simply lack the desire.
How do you handle politics and safety?
Wayward Express is intended to be a fully neutral transportation business and will not get involved in any conflicts. Since WE fully intends to provide indiscriminate services to everyone regardless of their ideology or political affiliation, there is little incentive attack WE. We will very obviously benefit all those locations we travel to, with bringing tourists and their money to your locations, pay taxes to cities and stations, and indiscriminate employment and travel options.
Its very easy to remove such boons and benefits if and where need be
Are you hiring?
Wayward Express offers employment to everyone seeking to make extra income, regardless of their ideology or political affiliation. It matters not what org you're apart of, so long as you intend to follow our policies and not endanger any of our travelers.
What are your requirements?
For travelers:
Listen to all safety instructions. Pay your tickets prior to boarding. Find your seat, and do not disturb or otherwise interrupt the flight Do not attempt using our services as a way to ambush or attack travelers or other Noveans at destinations. (you will be blacklisted along with other possible consequences...)
For pilots:
Know your destinations and how to get there safely. Get there in a timely fashion, reporting any problems to your superiors. Do not make any changes to your flight plan mid-flight, unless you are in immediate danger, this can greatly inconvenience other travelers. Return your WE shuttle at the end of your shift. (stealing WE shuttles will result in blacklisting and other consequences) For Gatekeepers:
Process payments and board travelers. Actively check blacklist. Report problems to superiors.
Interesed in other services and employment opportunities?
Other employment opportunities such as security, construction/maintenance of shuttles, etc will be provided by FEC, and IAI.
Wayward Express is a joint venture by FEC, and IAI

Circles reacted to Ben Fargo in Forming cities and organizations that hold the rights for citizens.
I expect cities like that will be common in UA. I think many organizations will establish those cities because they will see an opportunity to profit from providing an open and fairly safe city close to the resources that will be used there. They will accept the risk of defending those cities if it seems profitable.
Of course, we will need to wait until the game is released to see what actually happens. DU is a game that appeals to an unusually wide range of interests and it is difficult to predict which, if any, will become predominant.
-
Circles got a reaction from Ben Fargo in Forming cities and organizations that hold the rights for citizens.
Oh I see. You think it could be a product offered by Organizations instead of Organizations being formed out of necessity. I think it might be a bit of both, an Organization with a decent amount of wealth might find it necessary to open another Organization to host civilians.

Yes, you can. While a ship is in motion people can move around freely inside of it and build and do various other ship related tasks.

Circles reacted to TheMasterArchitect in How to recruit! (and not be a nuisance)
Greetings Everybody!
I am writing this post today in hopes of inspiring you all to recruit respectfully and efficiently. As of late I have been targeted for bad recruitment practices so I'd like clear my name of all that.
Before getting into recruitment I would like to say there are some steps to increase your groups reputation, which in turn will increase your chance of having a successful recruitment session.
1. If you have a Dual Universe supporter pack then the first thing you want to do is create an organization page over at https://community.dualthegame.com/organizations
2. Setup a group discord and BE ACTIVE on it. When a member sees you being active in your group, doing events and working hard to build up your organizations then they will want to be part of the group even more.
3. Create some content. If you've never made videos or artwork I would recommend taking some time and learning a little bit so your group can have some content to attract players (or you can ask some of your members for help, you'd be surprised at the level of creativity of some of your members). For the best example I would look at the Band of Outlaws organization page. They do a lot of parody work but it's still successful in reaching out to players and enticing them to join their organization.
These are just steps you cant take to make your group more attractive. Try to be creative and I'm sure you can come up with more ways to make your organization appealing.
Now getting into recruitment practices...
There are several different sources you can go through when recruiting. In this post I'll be covering each area of recruitment that you can go through, as well as, describing how you should be getting your message across in a positive manner.
Dual Universe Forums
This is probably the most obvious method of recruitment. When recruiting from the forums there are two things you can do. One is to create an attractive post for your organization and the other is to message new members to the community individually. Make sure that when you create your forum post, you make your group's intentions clear and attractive as possible. When you message someone try not to bombard them with too much information, but give them enough to have a quick overview of the organization and the best way to contact you.
What you DON'T want to do while finding new members is to message people that are already part of existing organizations. Always check the players profile and ensure if they are part of a group or not. Even check their past posting history. You might be looking at an old post that's been bumped so always be on the lookout. If you do happen to message someone that was part of an organization by mistake and they respond to you, just apologize and try to move on.
Discord
Recruiting from discord can be very tricky and disrespectful if the place your recruiting from doesn't know about it. If you find a discord community the first thing you want to do is check if they have an advertisement section. Always read and abide by their rules. If they don't have an advertisement section then message the discord server's admin about your intentions and see if it's ok to do recruitment from his/her community. Try to offer incentives so that they will agree to it. You can ask them to trade players, if their discord is for example a Rust community then tell them that if you have any Rust players that you will send them your way and they should do it vice versa. Maybe even offer something of monetary value if you think it's worth it. But I want to say I don't recommend doing that. In my experience I have not been super successful at discord recruitment but maybe you guys can do it better than me. If your going to message members individually then make sure the server admin knows that and DO NOT send a spam recruitment messages. When messaging someone about recruitment always start a conversation, "hey, how are you?" and then gradually proceed to talk to them about your intentions.
Steam Groups
The first thing you want to check of course is your friends list. Check any past communities you've been apart of or talk to some old friends. Some of them might be interested in joining up with you. Other than that, your best bet is to check steam groups that have connections to games with similar aspects to Dual Universe. My military is ran by Arma 3 Milsim guys so I regularly check out several Arma 3 Milsim steam groups. That and other games that has similar aspects to Dual Universe such as Rust, Ark, Space Engineers or Empyrion. Now alot of these groups literally have tens of thousands of members so there really isn't a shortage of people to contact. What you want to do is start sorting through profiles that are interesting to you. I have my own criteria of contacting people and you guys should make your own as well. Try to add as much people as you can when going through the steam group member lists, but I suggest only contacting people who are online at the moment. Whenever I add someone I usually give them a nickname (for example, "Space Engineer Player - 03/31"). I use nicknames because if someone eventually adds me, I want to remember where I added them from and if they don't add me in two weeks then I just delete them. You also want to be using "Steam Tags." This will help you separate your actual steam friends from people who you are contacting for recruitment. Just give them a "recruitment" tag after they add you.
Now once people start adding you back, you want to start messaging them. ONLY message them when they are online, not in Snooze or Away mode (it might annoy some people). You want to do recruitment as respectfully and efficiently as possible. So I suggest that when you message someone you start off by saying something like "Hey, how are you?". Then you will get either a positive or a negative response, you know how steam players are . If they respond in a positive manner then tell them you have an offer and that you are hoping that they could hear you out. Then proceed to tell them about the game and your group. If they aren't interested then tell them thank you for listening and to have a good day. After that just remove them from your friends list. If someone responds to you in a negative manner then try to twist it around in your favor to make them interested. If that doesn't work then once again delete them from your friends list. I usually add around 20-50 people whenever I do a recruitment session. You'll probably get a 20% friend acceptance rate and out of that you'll get 20% that might be interested. That's just what it feels like from my experience.
I also want to recommend upping your steam profile. If they see that your profile is an empty page and your messaging them about an offer then they might take it as a scam. Whereas if you have a decent looking and respectful steam profile with some artwork then they may listen to your offer.
Reddit/Other Communities
Now I only did reddit once so I can't help you be too successful at this, but I can tell you just be respectful of any place that you may recruit from. Try to go into subreddits that can somehow relate to Dual Universe. Read the rules and make sure your posting in the right place. The same goes for any other forum/community that you may recruit from. Always read up on the rules and if there aren't any then try to contact the admin.
When I do go hard on recruiting I usually spend around 2 hours a day recruiting on steam and talking to people about the game while at the same time being as respectful as possible. If your trying to recruit a lot of people then you'll have to spend a lot of time on recruitment. If your building a small group then I just suggest sticking to the Dual Universe forums and see what you can find here. There's tons of time before the game get's released so if you just want a small group then waiting and contacting people on here every once in a while might be your best bet.
Thanks everyone for reading. I hope this clears up any confusion and hopefully the group that is actually ruining recruitment for everyone can follow these guidelines.
Have a great day!

Circles reacted to Jenshae in Linux crowdfund please
Dear developers,
Short version, please make a Linux crowd fund so that we can put our money where our mouths are.
Top aim would be a native client. Secondly, approaching Feral to help port the game. Third being a supported Wine wrapper. Finally, the lowest rung, some cornered off time that a developer writes guides or answers some questions that we can try get it running on Wine or in a virtual machine.
It has been two years since I played EVE. When they sold skill points, that was a goal post moved that I could not accept but this game seems to hold a possibility of not only filling that hole in my mind but scratching an itch that I didn't think was there.
What I can find about it from you looks positive.
I can not promise that it is all sunshine but if you can become platform independent, surely:
Windows + Mac + Linux > Windows only revenues.
Vulkan has opened up a huge path for making platform independent games.
Many Linux gamers are counted in statistics as Windows players because we resort to virtual machines and Wine.
Statistically, we also spend more given the opportunity on our hobbies and passions.
Linux statistics can be surprising.
Personally, using myself as an example, I am on the following machine:
Intel Core i7-5820K (6 cores, 12 threads) @ 4.1GHz
Mobo: ASUSTeK model: X99-E
Memory: 16201.8/64335.1MB
Graphics card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Hawaii PRO [Radeon R9 390]
(I won't be buying MSI aka Micro Sun International again, the build quality does not impress me).
GLX & Vulkan Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.2.8
HDD Total Size: 2000.4GB (12.7% used)
ID-1: /dev/sda model: MZV6E500BW size: 500.1GB
ID-2: /dev/sdb model: ST500LX025 size: 500.1GB
ID-3: /dev/sdc model: ST500LX025 size: 500.1GB
ID-4: /dev/sdd model: ST500LX025 size: 500.1GB
(That is an M.2 for boot and some games + 3x SSHDs in ZFS RAID 5 for bulk storage.)
My Steam account is also rather healthy.
We bought into a vague promise from Star Citizen and we are still waiting.
The key to this request is that you can see the direct contribution that Linux players make and adjust what you do for them accordingly.
Thank you,
Jen

Circles reacted to Orius in A lesson from ARK: Survival Evolved.
After re-divulging into the game that destroyed the meaning of Early Access on Steam, I have realized something: Dual Universe has a possibility of becoming similar to ARK. Before you tear into me for this, hear me out.
There is a distinct possibility that this game could become more of a chore for players, having to check on your construct constantly, 24/7 maybe, to make sure they aren't going to be destroyed when you are offline, similar to the way ARK has become. Instead of fixing the base game, the developers of ARK kept adding more content, further pushing the game's community further and further apart and breaking the game's performance even more than it already was.
There is the possibility for this game to be dominated by massive organizations, similar to how the servers on ARK are currently being dominated by "alpha megatribes", tribes dominating the server that have essentially unlimited resources, overpowered gear, overpowered dinosaurs, and a territory control over the island that essentially means that noobs who spawn have no chance of getting a good grip. With the completely unbalanced weapons, PVP has truly become a nightmare, and with unbalanced dinosaurs, the PvE has just become another No Man's Sky.
In summary, Dual Universe has a long way to go in development, and can go either 2 ways: it can be a really great game, or it can be another ARK. Only time will tell what will happen, but I have a hope that this game will not be another ARK.
Novaquark, you have been warned.

Ok, ah that’s a lot of info to go through, but well structured, I do advise that you segment your work on to different documents, which will give people the option of looking deeper into Rose Lotus(start the segments at the ranks and down, everything else should be good enough) and not deter them with so much. Other than that it looks like a good org, good luck and safe travels.

Could anyone offer more secrecy, privacy and control over your own communications?

Anything and everything that you send through the individual text chat is visible to the maintenance team, and therefore, the managerial team.
Total privacy and secrecy can only be granted in the private Voice Chat.

Circles reacted to Comrademoco in Astrum Empire - Now Online
Over the years, since the creation of The Galactic Republic of Planets, the goals and focus of the Republic were both unclear and unmet. As a long standing and oldest organization in Dual Universe, this was both; unacceptable and distasteful. This came as an unwanted side effect; forgotten. Something the Republic was not looking for.
The Galactic Republic of Planets of Past
The Galactic Republic of Planets served its' purpose, be a strong and well influential organization in the early days of Dual Universe. This, however, changed as the Dual Universe morphed into more than that.
To cope with these changes, The Galactic Republic of Planets is no more.
The Astrum Empire of Now
The Astrum Empire is a complete Monarchial Organization. It's Focus. Bringing sustainability to its land, prosperity to its' citizens, aid to those in need, create long-lasting friendships, and to maintain a golden era of growth in Dual Universe

A Firm Foundation
Empires. Armies. Nations. The ambition of the Novean population leads them to lofty goals. But from the moment they're awakened from cryosleep, those goals will be as distant as the stars they've just traversed.
Volant Transtellar approaches this new world with the humility of our situation in mind. As a company, and as a wider populace. Our immediate goal is to provide the foundations of Novean society. Resources, infrastructure, training. Before mighty vessels can ply the spacelanes, trucks and buses must ply the roads. Simple aircraft must deliver citizens to their duties. A strong economy must begin at the bottom before it can rise.
A Vanguard to Dreams
VTI needs you. It needs your drive, your creativity, and your spirit as a builder. Before the lofty dreams of a new world can grow the simple work of sowing its fields must be done. VTI has no aim to be at the forefront of armies, or atop the halls of power. VTI, and you with us, will be the pavement on every street, the wings of every flight, the strength of every tool and the comfort of every home.
Where other organizations strive always to be at the top, VTI strives always to be at the bottom. The underpinning that holds aloft the dreams of our peers.
Angled Ever Upward
If you are an individual with a need to build, and a passion to hold aloft your fellows, then Volant needs you. Whatever experience you bring will be welcomed with open arms. If you bring nothing with you but the spark of a creator, Volant is here to give you the tools and understanding you need to succeed.
If you're the leader of an extant Organization, Volant can use you as well. We are always on the lookout for new leaders and new potential. Your Org could be welcome into ours, and retain much of your autonomy and flexibility as we strive towards our common goal. We're also always on the lookout for subsidiaries to aid our endeavors.
Volant Transtellar.
Rise with us, wings outspread.
And lift the world behind.
