In a computer game you will always have restrictions, however you want to play your game.
 
As it is in life.
 

oh dear. That was perhaps the worst example to deny your original point you could have made. 
 
I have never met a person who was not part of an organisation.  If you use money, you’re part of the financial organization of your country. Have you ever been to a hospital? Have you ever eaten food you didn’t grow yourself? Have you ever walked down a road to a supermarket rather than cut through a swath of bushes to get to the billabong? Have you ever communicated electronically by a device you didn’t fabricate from raw materials?
 
There’s a lot of people (especially recently and often in the US) who seem think to think they exist as an individual entity free from society and social organisations: off the grid, if you will...  whereas The actual number of people truly living individual lives, completely off the grid is vanishingly, vanishingly small.
 
 
 
 

Today I.....
started at our large mining base, had to drop some ore in the bins to get those machines going.  Popped to a couple of local org mates to help them with their enterprises.  Picked up stock to take to market, stopped made a drop, picked up ore from there and flew it to our ship shop Worked with our ship designer Poljack (pics below!!) to help him finalise a couple of ships we were selling Had another enquiry so flew to our outpost on Sicari, picked up a spare ship there, left Poljack there to customise ship Currently flying from Sicari to our space station to work on our T2-3 production line A bit tired so not sure if I will fly the product down to Ailoth tonight, or do it with a cup of tea in the morning You should get out more, pm me if you want a tour.

100% agree the games has issues, but it shits over any other space sandbox from a great height, even in its current state (for me anyway).  It is up to you, if you want to build civilisation or dig holes.


 

 
My goal in this game is to make billions of quanta and then spend it on making cool stuff that players like you can do, just give us some time.

NQ seems to be still in a mindset where they think they can discuss everything extensively internally before taking action and take way to much time doing so. They need to be much quicker with declaring something an exploit and attaching repercussions to continuing to use these from that moment. After that point they can then work out a solution to remove the exploit.
 
Also, NQ has not really removed any exploits, they have nerfed the game for everyone in order for the trigger for the exploit to be removed. In other words they are taking the easy way out  by pretty much punishing everyone else and not even trying to address the actual exploiters who walk away with no consequence for their actions. This happened when they brought in the "TU required to place a static core" restriction and now by removing the "use maneuver tool to dock a construct" mechanic
 
It seems that this has now entirely removed the possibility to dock one construct to another using maneuver tool, even if you own both, which seems to me to be another case of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

You did read the part about how they're pushing the boundaries of what's possible on a server, before you signed up, didn't you? This server is the very opposite of "basic stuff".

I will 100% agree this game was undercooked when it went to beta, even the devs kinds of said it themselves, they need the more money for further developments and server infrastructure.  One thing I want to make clear though, as someone who played the game extensively over three years, the majority of the issues we are seeing have only occured to this extent since open beta went live, the pre launch week was pretty bloody great, as was midweek for the first week or so.  It seems the playerbase has hit critical mass though and then the current architecture just falls over.   This is not a bold statement to say that when DU is playing well (such as in headstart week) it is the ONLY game I want to play at the moment out of the 600+ I own.  Infact it is one of my favourite games OF ALL TIME, it is just shame that you have never got to try it properly, even more concerning that you might never get to.

Hi Morlock,
 
That all sounds great. I tend to be way less quiet. I am pretty casual in my gaming. Not a huge PVP fan but will defend when attacked in multi player. I started as an RTS player in the C&C series. I am a retired IT professional. I raised my kids with lots of play parties in the house. I had a server that I built where I hosted a modded MineCraft build and we also played Battlefield II. Kids are all gone now and I was just remarried 3 months ago, ( I can share that story as we spend time in fellowship).  I am officially disabled with chronic intractable migraines. As a result, I have three modes, doing alright and able to play, on meds and able to play, down hard and sleeping or watching sermons and resting. 
 
The center of my life is Christ. I am a follower of reformed theology and would consider myself a Calvinist for the most part. I am a musician (guitar, voice) and am married to a pianist who is the music director at our church. We attend Westview Bible Church in Imperial Beach, Ca. Of course, attend does not apply right now but hopefully soon. I have been growing in my faith and understanding very quickly over the past few years. Again, long story for another time. 
 
I am looking forward to playing Dual Universe. I have played many hours of Empyrion Galactic Survival, Space Engineers and No Man's Sky. So I think Du have great possibilities. I am also looking forward to playing Starbase when it comes out. Oh, I play Star Citizen too though I am not a huge fanboy. I love to design and build. 
 
I am happy to start a small mining and trading operation in a relatively safe part of the DU universe. I am excited to be able to game with someone who shares faith in Christ. I have grown tired of playing with worldly people who's speech and attitudes break down rather than build up. 
 
I am leaving on Vacation in a few days so I will be out of comm range until after the 8th of August. We can hook up after that and get better acquainted and see if we are a fit.
 
Blessings, 
 
~Verd~
 

I'm interested.

Greetings Anomolos, 
 
I am a follower of Christ and a gamer as well. I have recently become a patron of Dual Universe. I have been contemplating what to do about an organization to enhance the playing experience. As a Christian it can be difficult dealing with the online world as many do not hold to our core values. I was thinking about staring an org and so I did a quick search first to see what I could find out there. That led me to your post. I would enjoy discussing the possibilities with you. I am a long time player of Emperion Galactic Survival, Space Engineers and No Man's Sky. I have been playing Star Citizen but beleive the best days for them are out in the future somewhere. I am also looking forward to Starbase with anticipation in hopes that will be some good game play.
 
So, let's talk and see if there is a fit. 
 
Verd

Greetings!
 
I'm Cale (sometimes Kale) Katarn. I backed this game back in the kickstarter days at Gold Tier, and then went through some serious life changes and am only just now getting to where I can get back into following projects like this. I'm a fairly casual gamer, though I backed this in my hardcore days, and am still very interested in it. That being said, I'm finding myself overwhelmed with everything that's blown up about DU, and I'm trying to get my bearings, and how to get access to all the rewards from the KS and the areas on here. I've emailed support, so hopefully I won't be bombarding the forums with questions, and I've been acquainting myself with the search feature here as well. :D 
 
Anyways, a little more about me. I'm a dedicated gamer, though real life responsibilities have kept me from gaming more than I'd like (like many of us, I'd wager). I tend to play a few games for years, only occasionally adding new one. I'm still active in SWTOR and Planetside 2, and I'm more money than I really care to think about into Star Citizen. Nonetheless, I found myself reading up on this game again and got super excited to see the progress, and I can't wait to catch up completely!
 
It looks like a great community is building here, and I can't wait to get to know some of you and get invested in the game even more!

I should have added a little about myself.  I ran a small Diablo2 guild, which then spanned several games with the same core group.  I then joined a large multi-game guild, and held officer roles in a couple of the portals.
 
I tend to be a very quiet person, hence the brevity in the above post.  This coupled with not enjoying the locker room talk leads to me playing a lot of solo games, or going it alone in multiplayer games.  That's why i was excited to see your post.
 
I like PVP, but prefer it to be one aspect, not the core of my gaming time.  I enjoy a variety of games, and farming for materials and items relaxing. 
 
If we do join a Christian guild, the player base is going to be smaller, we will have to find ways to be competitive.   What I mean is that we probably won't be able to compete in say large ship production.  But we can scout and sell coordinates to good mining areas. 
 
I have discord, but don't usually have it running.  The best way to contact me for now is through here.

Starting a Christian Organization for fellow believers. If you’re an active gamer and sincere believer in Jesus Christ, I’d like to hear from you. This will not be my first time starting a guild for a game (as I’ve been playing PC games exclusively in a competitive setting for 20+ years) but this will be an organization I’m starting from scratch.
 
Feel free to message me here or preferably on Discord at mOG#1711. You should be familiar with comms discipline and avoid profanity if you’re looking to join. Taking the Lord’s name in vain and other forms of casual blasphemy are obviously prohibited. Other than that, there are no real requirements. 
 
Alternatively, if such an organization already exists within Dual Universe, let me know and if there’s not a great turn out from this thread I may end up just putting in an application there.
 
Thanks!

Sounds good! Go here to join our Discord  https://www.infinitycorporation.org/ 
And at the Discord show that you have NDA acess. And then in in game F3 --- Organizations --- Bulletin Board --- Infinity Corporation --- Send application
 
Any other Questions send private message!
Welcome!
 

I look forward to seeing just how much detail I can give to my ship.

In the end when you had programmable mobs and could do your own adventures some truly amazing things where done. But most peeps had left then.

So, here is pretty large and interesting thread for Landmark vets, It makes me little bit jealous : ) How about hardcore minecrafters?
 
Lets show them power of Old Block Ways. Post your best things with nessesary comments and how you plan to rock world of DU with all your experience.
 
I'll start.
 
Most builds are from high-fantasy city project called Kingdom of Merovia. And there is a lot. Mostly mine disigns and global planning/coordination, but some things built (or updated later, when I quit MC) by my great building-buddy angvar -- also he made many of presented screenshots. Ships disigned by several other talented people of our building crew. Lots of people participated during years of building.
 

 
MORE in spoiler V
 
 
 

Good people in this org by the way.

Hey guys, our new website is online!   https://dualtheoutfit.com   Learn more about our org, our members and our business! (Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress.)

Have fun and Welcome! Personally I started playing EQ Nov 99.
 
 

Greetings all! New to DU, but old and experienced gamer.  Started gaming "online" back when you connected to a chat room to launch into a game with others! I live in CA in the USA.
 
Look forward to meeting some of you in the universe!

@Agilulfyou should repost that data and sort by percentage. 
 
It looks like Infinity Corporation is in 3rd... 2nd place if you take ATV out of the mix since its a NQ org.

Manually datamined from the community page. Pledge status, join date and similar information can be viewed there. But of course you can't see past activities, especially players joining and leaving organizations, so the second infographic only shows players that joined and stayed.

Since nobody asked, here's some important data!
 

You already are part of the community.  Welcome.
 
There is a bit of frustration stemming from the NDA. It does enhance the perception that those with packs are *in* and those without aren’t.
This is cemented with the fact that only backers can create organizations. (This used to be open to all, but was abused so it was changed to what we have today.)
 
So what can be done?
Discord and Forums (the non-NDA parts) are open for anyone. Throw down your thoughts and have a chat (like you DU)
To create an organization without owning a pack you would have to either team up with someone with a pack or create your  organizations discord server or both.
 
The NDA is being lifted later this year and with Beta access to the game will be much simpler/easier with all the beta keys floating around.
 
Hope this helps.

There is anybody here? 
 
Helloooo..
 
Man...
