News
 
Public Service Announcements
We will provide Public Service Announcements for each administrative level, in our forum (once it is released) and on in game bulletin-boards.
 
Newspaper
We will provide a nation-wide newspaper, published by opinion independent journalists (I hope this makes sense, what I mean is that they will get a salary from the government, but they will be free to write whatever they want, would I write “opinion-free” it would probably indicate the exact opposite. Terminology is really difficult please help me someone with this). About what the newspaper will report, will depend on the news priority for the nation. It is also possible that there will be more local-oriented newspapers.
 
Newscast
We will provide a Newscast with the most important news regarding the Union and the galaxy, such as wars, peace treaties, politics (mostly TU but also galaxy), government decisions, new colonies and sometimes a bit propaganda for example the completion of a new TU Capital ship.
The newscast will be provided via YouTube and in game functions.
 
 
Gameplay
 
PvE
Exploration
We will finance exploration missions of different sizes, reaching from single ship missions, to long journey convoys with multiple ships.
The only we are asking for is, to share your data and discoveries first with us, before you sell it to others.
 
Mining
We will offer regular trips to different mining locations, including a military escort. Depending on where the location is, how valuable are the mineable resources and how often the trip is made, the size of the convoy will reach from just a few, to dozens of ships with hundreds of players. But we require for the protection we provide 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of the resources which you have mined.
 
We will also have continuous mining missions with Motherships or Stations, of course also under the protection of our Military. If you're a freelancer, you can mine in the region where the mission is and give us 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of your mined resources or we could buy the resources but for a slightly cheaper price as on the free market. If you're a Newbie or just need some cash, we offer salaries to mine for us and you can decide if you prefer your own ship to mine with or if you want to borrow a ship from us for free. (this will probably be limited due to the limited space on board the motherships and stations)
 
Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering
We will offer different contracts to make something for us, that could be a Script, a Design Concept, a Mechanical Contraption, a Ship, a Building, a Megaproject or just a simple beautification of a city.
The contracts are split in 3 main categories:
1. Employee-Contract: We'll pay you a salary and providing the resources for the work, to which we assign you.
2. Freelancer-Contract: We'll pay you a fixed amount and provide or pay for the used materials.
3. Company-Contract: These contracts are awarded only to companies and will be negotiated.
After the completion of the contracts, the created blueprints are passed to the Terran Union.
 
Trade | Transportation
We will regular offer escorts to trade posts that are far away from the TU Territory. To participate, a fixed price is estimated, depending on the duration and dangerousness of the journey.
 
We will also offer missions and long-term contracts, to transport goods and people for us.
 
Science
We will offer positions in our research facilities for scientists and engineers who are more in development than maintenance. As an employed researcher you are free in your choice of research, but sometimes you will get requests, which you can reject, but consider your reputation.
In case of war, a rejected request can lead to a dismissal, depending on the importance of the request and your current research.
This will be an employment; you will get a salary but your discoveries will belong to the Union.
We will also offer Freelancer and Company-Contracts, if we need some specific tech to be researched fast.
 
Maintenance
We will have a lot of civilian buildings, ships and stations and they must be maintained.
If you considering such work, we will offer you an employment and a salary.
 
Other
As the development of the game is progressing, there will be probably other career branches and as soon as we know it we will offer employments, contracts and missions.
 
 
PvP
Mercenaries
We will offer missions and contracts to people who don't want to join the military, but be prepared this work will be dirty and probably more on the unofficial side of things.
 
Events
We will organize different kinds of competitions, for example building competitions in various classes reaching from art, to fighters, and we will probably have dog fights. We are open for suggestions.
 
Interplanetary Tournaments
Once a year we will organize a great national tournament, where every citizen of the Union can show his skills.
The participants will compete in various disciplines, such as building, dog fight, racing, strategy, and so on. The tournament will start in the cities and every citizen can register there. The winner on city level will then compete on the regional level, the winner of this are going on the planetary level and after this we will have the grand final on the national level.
 
General/Social/RP
 
Holiday Events
We will try to organize Events timed and themed to real-life holidays and we will try to get other factions and maybe even the devs on board for this.
 
Roleplaying
RP is welcome but not necessary.
We will try to create events and special areas for roleplaying and we look forward to receive ideas and suggestions from you.
 
 
Joining the Union
 
Warning
If you want a position as high ranking official (Minister, Parliament representative, General and Admiral) you should be aware that this means a lot of work for you and you will probably receive phone calls in the middle of the night, because of some catastrophe or enemy attack.
 
If you want to be a member of the administration, you should be aware that this means work and you should have some skills in office software. Even after you finished your work you will be a contact person for the citizens of the TU.
 
If you want a position in the military, you should be aware that this means discipline and to follow orders. If an officer ordering you to jump, you will jump and not ask why. You will us also tell fixed times in which you are online and at least half this time you are on duty; in the other half you can do what you want. Next topic is that you've committed yourself, just leaving is desert and will have consequences, but you aren't bound forever. The Contract will have a runtime of 3 months, 10 deaths on duty or 50 dead enemies. I know this whole thing sounds not really good, but here is the good part, you will get a very generous salary and we will take good care of you.
 
The above mentioned jobs are 18+ exceptions considered on case by case basis.
 
Ranks
(currently available. with time it will be more | To pay taxes and to follow the law, are duties for all ranks)

We will provide Public Service Announcements for each administrative level, in our forum (once it is released) and on in game bulletin-boards.
 
Newspaper
We will provide a nation-wide newspaper, published by opinion independent journalists (I hope this makes sense, what I mean is that they will get a salary from the government, but they will be free to write whatever they want, would I write “opinion-free” it would probably indicate the exact opposite. Terminology is really difficult please help me someone with this). About what the newspaper will report, will depend on the news priority for the nation. It is also possible that there will be more local-oriented newspapers.
 
Newscast
We will provide a Newscast with the most important news regarding the Union and the galaxy, such as wars, peace treaties, politics (mostly TU but also galaxy), government decisions, new colonies and sometimes a bit propaganda for example the completion of a new TU Capital ship.
The newscast will be provided via YouTube and in game functions.
 
 
Gameplay
 
PvE
Exploration
We will finance exploration missions of different sizes, reaching from single ship missions, to long journey convoys with multiple ships.
The only we are asking for is, to share your data and discoveries first with us, before you sell it to others.
 
Mining
We will offer regular trips to different mining locations, including a military escort. Depending on where the location is, how valuable are the mineable resources and how often the trip is made, the size of the convoy will reach from just a few, to dozens of ships with hundreds of players. But we require for the protection we provide 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of the resources which you have mined.
 
We will also have continuous mining missions with Motherships or Stations, of course also under the protection of our Military. If you're a freelancer, you can mine in the region where the mission is and give us 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of your mined resources or we could buy the resources but for a slightly cheaper price as on the free market. If you're a Newbie or just need some cash, we offer salaries to mine for us and you can decide if you prefer your own ship to mine with or if you want to borrow a ship from us for free. (this will probably be limited due to the limited space on board the motherships and stations)
 
Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering
We will offer different contracts to make something for us, that could be a Script, a Design Concept, a Mechanical Contraption, a Ship, a Building, a Megaproject or just a simple beautification of a city.
The contracts are split in 3 main categories:
1. Employee-Contract: We'll pay you a salary and providing the resources for the work, to which we assign you.
2. Freelancer-Contract: We'll pay you a fixed amount and provide or pay for the used materials.
3. Company-Contract: These contracts are awarded only to companies and will be negotiated.
After the completion of the contracts, the created blueprints are passed to the Terran Union.
 
Trade | Transportation
We will regular offer escorts to trade posts that are far away from the TU Territory. To participate, a fixed price is estimated, depending on the duration and dangerousness of the journey.
 
We will also offer missions and long-term contracts, to transport goods and people for us.
 
Science
We will offer positions in our research facilities for scientists and engineers who are more in development than maintenance. As an employed researcher you are free in your choice of research, but sometimes you will get requests, which you can reject, but consider your reputation.
In case of war, a rejected request can lead to a dismissal, depending on the importance of the request and your current research.
This will be an employment; you will get a salary but your discoveries will belong to the Union.
We will also offer Freelancer and Company-Contracts, if we need some specific tech to be researched fast.
 
Maintenance
We will have a lot of civilian buildings, ships and stations and they must be maintained.
If you considering such work, we will offer you an employment and a salary.
 
Other
As the development of the game is progressing, there will be probably other career branches and as soon as we know it we will offer employments, contracts and missions.
 
 
PvP
Mercenaries
We will offer missions and contracts to people who don't want to join the military, but be prepared this work will be dirty and probably more on the unofficial side of things.
 
Events
We will organize different kinds of competitions, for example building competitions in various classes reaching from art, to fighters, and we will probably have dog fights. We are open for suggestions.
 
Interplanetary Tournaments
Once a year we will organize a great national tournament, where every citizen of the Union can show his skills.
The participants will compete in various disciplines, such as building, dog fight, racing, strategy, and so on. The tournament will start in the cities and every citizen can register there. The winner on city level will then compete on the regional level, the winner of this are going on the planetary level and after this we will have the grand final on the national level.
 
General/Social/RP
 
Holiday Events
We will try to organize Events timed and themed to real-life holidays and we will try to get other factions and maybe even the devs on board for this.

We will try to create events and special areas for roleplaying and we look forward to receive ideas and suggestions from you.
 
 
Joining the Union

Newspaper
We will provide a nation-wide newspaper, published by opinion independent journalists (I hope this makes sense, what I mean is that they will get a salary from the government, but they will be free to write whatever they want, would I write “opinion-free” it would probably indicate the exact opposite. Terminology is really difficult please help me someone with this). About what the newspaper will report, will depend on the news priority for the nation. It is also possible that there will be more local-oriented newspapers.

Gameplay
 
PvE
Exploration
We will finance exploration missions of different sizes, reaching from single ship missions, to long journey convoys with multiple ships.
The only we are asking for is, to share your data and discoveries first with us, before you sell it to others.
 
Mining
We will offer regular trips to different mining locations, including a military escort. Depending on where the location is, how valuable are the mineable resources and how often the trip is made, the size of the convoy will reach from just a few, to dozens of ships with hundreds of players. But we require for the protection we provide 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of the resources which you have mined.
 
We will also have continuous mining missions with Motherships or Stations, of course also under the protection of our Military. If you're a freelancer, you can mine in the region where the mission is and give us 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of your mined resources or we could buy the resources but for a slightly cheaper price as on the free market. If you're a Newbie or just need some cash, we offer salaries to mine for us and you can decide if you prefer your own ship to mine with or if you want to borrow a ship from us for free. (this will probably be limited due to the limited space on board the motherships and stations)
 
Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering
We will offer different contracts to make something for us, that could be a Script, a Design Concept, a Mechanical Contraption, a Ship, a Building, a Megaproject or just a simple beautification of a city.

We will also offer missions and long-term contracts, to transport goods and people for us.
 
Science
We will offer positions in our research facilities for scientists and engineers who are more in development than maintenance. As an employed researcher you are free in your choice of research, but sometimes you will get requests, which you can reject, but consider your reputation.
In case of war, a rejected request can lead to a dismissal, depending on the importance of the request and your current research.
This will be an employment; you will get a salary but your discoveries will belong to the Union.

The winner on city level will then compete on the regional level, the winner of this are going on the planetary level and after this we will have the grand final on the national level.
 
General/Social/RP
 
Holiday Events
We will try to organize Events timed and themed to real-life holidays and we will try to get other factions and maybe even the devs on board for this.
 
Roleplaying
RP is welcome but not necessary.
We will try to create events and special areas for roleplaying and we look forward to receive ideas and suggestions from you.

Ministries
The Ministries are the Administration of the Nation and are operating on all administrative levels. The only administrative level that will have all ministries, is the National Level. Depending on the tasks of the ministries, they will have branches in the various administrative levels.

Companies
 
Be a Company in the Union
(means the headquarters will be on TU territory)
Your Company will be part of the Union and it would be gladly seen if your employees would also be Citizens of the Union.
The Company will follow the law, pay taxes and sometimes the company will be offered contracts by the government (conditions in Gameplay/PvE/Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering).
Military contracts are mostly given to companies that are within the Union.
Your company will be allowed to have contracts with other factions and even branches in other faction’s territory, you can also call for help by the TU, be it diplomatically help to establish trade routes or military help to defend your property.
 
Companies in the Union:
 
 
Be a Company that works with the Union
(means the headquarters will not be on TU territory)
You will be an independent company and the company and their employees can make whatever they want.
If you want to work with us you can ask for a contract or we offer you one, we will also search for friendly relations and offer to establish branches or mining rights in our territory.

Government Library
This Library will be containing all the information that are be considered as classified by the government. Including recipes/blueprints for weapons of mass destruction, blueprints for military ships, locations of important/very valuable resources and so on.

News
 
Public Service Announcements
We will provide Public Service Announcements for each administrative level, in our forum (once it is released) and on in game bulletin-boards.
 
Newspaper
We will provide a nation-wide newspaper, published by opinion independent journalists (I hope this makes sense, what I mean is that they will get a salary from the government, but they will be free to write whatever they want, would I write “opinion-free” it would probably indicate the exact opposite. Terminology is really difficult please help me someone with this). About what the newspaper will report, will depend on the news priority for the nation. It is also possible that there will be more local-oriented newspapers.
 
Newscast
We will provide a Newscast with the most important news regarding the Union and the galaxy, such as wars, peace treaties, politics (mostly TU but also galaxy), government decisions, new colonies and sometimes a bit propaganda for example the completion of a new TU Capital ship.
The newscast will be provided via YouTube and in game functions.
 
 
Gameplay
 
PvE
Exploration
We will finance exploration missions of different sizes, reaching from single ship missions, to long journey convoys with multiple ships.
The only we are asking for is, to share your data and discoveries first with us, before you sell it to others.
 
Mining
We will offer regular trips to different mining locations, including a military escort. Depending on where the location is, how valuable are the mineable resources and how often the trip is made, the size of the convoy will reach from just a few, to dozens of ships with hundreds of players. But we require for the protection we provide 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of the resources which you have mined.
 
We will also have continuous mining missions with Motherships or Stations, of course also under the protection of our Military. If you're a freelancer, you can mine in the region where the mission is and give us 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of your mined resources or we could buy the resources but for a slightly cheaper price as on the free market. If you're a Newbie or just need some cash, we offer salaries to mine for us and you can decide if you prefer your own ship to mine with or if you want to borrow a ship from us for free. (this will probably be limited due to the limited space on board the motherships and stations)
 
Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering
We will offer different contracts to make something for us, that could be a Script, a Design Concept, a Mechanical Contraption, a Ship, a Building, a Megaproject or just a simple beautification of a city.
The contracts are split in 3 main categories:
1. Employee-Contract: We'll pay you a salary and providing the resources for the work, to which we assign you.
2. Freelancer-Contract: We'll pay you a fixed amount and provide or pay for the used materials.
3. Company-Contract: These contracts are awarded only to companies and will be negotiated.
After the completion of the contracts, the created blueprints are passed to the Terran Union.
 
Trade | Transportation
We will regular offer escorts to trade posts that are far away from the TU Territory. To participate, a fixed price is estimated, depending on the duration and dangerousness of the journey.
 
We will also offer missions and long-term contracts, to transport goods and people for us.
 
Science
We will offer positions in our research facilities for scientists and engineers who are more in development than maintenance. As an employed researcher you are free in your choice of research, but sometimes you will get requests, which you can reject, but consider your reputation.
In case of war, a rejected request can lead to a dismissal, depending on the importance of the request and your current research.
This will be an employment; you will get a salary but your discoveries will belong to the Union.
We will also offer Freelancer and Company-Contracts, if we need some specific tech to be researched fast.
 
Maintenance
We will have a lot of civilian buildings, ships and stations and they must be maintained.
If you considering such work, we will offer you an employment and a salary.
 
Other
As the development of the game is progressing, there will be probably other career branches and as soon as we know it we will offer employments, contracts and missions.
 
 
PvP
Mercenaries
We will offer missions and contracts to people who don't want to join the military, but be prepared this work will be dirty and probably more on the unofficial side of things.
 
Events
We will organize different kinds of competitions, for example building competitions in various classes reaching from art, to fighters, and we will probably have dog fights. We are open for suggestions.
 
Interplanetary Tournaments
Once a year we will organize a great national tournament, where every citizen of the Union can show his skills.
The participants will compete in various disciplines, such as building, dog fight, racing, strategy, and so on. The tournament will start in the cities and every citizen can register there. The winner on city level will then compete on the regional level, the winner of this are going on the planetary level and after this we will have the grand final on the national level.
 
General/Social/RP
 
Holiday Events
We will try to organize Events timed and themed to real-life holidays and we will try to get other factions and maybe even the devs on board for this.
 
Roleplaying
RP is welcome but not necessary.
We will try to create events and special areas for roleplaying and we look forward to receive ideas and suggestions from you.
 
 
Joining the Union

Version 3.4.5

I like to call it a federal parliamenterian monarchy.
Because for me a dictatorship is a government where the people serve the ruler and a monarchy is a government where the ruler serves the people.

The Constitution of the Terran Union is now ratified and valid

 
If you are a representative of another Organization that want to officially acknowledge this Constitution, please contact me for further information how to do this.

Oh no i brought some salmon cells with me so that i can clone and breed them
yummy salmon

@Theophilus
We have no Ministry of Communication, because it isn't necessary and roles that this Ministry would fulfill are already taken by other Ministries.
Of course there could be roles that we didn't thought of, so please share your idea with us, when you have one.
 
@the others
everyone that has replied to this post should now be contacted by us.

It isn't premature at all, because we certainly need the time to develop everything, set up our structures, create the the tools we need, until the game launches. The Terran Union is no less ambitious than Dual Universe itself. What we want to create is something that is normally provided by the developers of a game, a nation within the game.
 
When the devs implent these nations, they normally provide services to the players so that they can do what they want to do. But Dual Universe won't have this kind of dev created nations, so the TU is there to take this place, but because it isn't supported by the devs and the game mechanics we need not only to plan the services we want to provide, but also the means to be able to provide this services and to support our structure. This means a lot of bureaucracy and this needs a lot of planning. Even with our most optimistic estimations currently we come at a needed member count of 1000, alone to run the complete government. Not to mention the time that we will need to set everything up and get running.

Sorry my statement was a bit misleading (forgot a word), we don't have 1000 people, we need probably 1000 to run it.
I fixed it in my former post.

You will be able to sell your blueprints on a ingame market or simply give it to your friends.
And a editor as you have described it will be integrated as some sort of virtual reality that you can enter in game.

*Hebt die Hand* Hier ist ein Deutscher
 
Nice to see other germans around, btw my organization/nation is aiming to be multilingual, of course its currently only english, but if we get enough members that speak one language i want to translate what we have and establish the language in the org, but regardless of this german will be the second language

Thank you TheSlaxx,
You made my day

Thank you TheSlaxx,
You made my day

Normally i would you wish good luck and such, but i'm quite salty about your Org.
You ask why? Simple, because of your propaganda spamming on the community site, with artwork that probably isn't even yours. Normally i wouldn't mind, but your propaganda is flooding the featured posts board, which pushes posts from other orgs out, that have actually made an effort to create something on their own. I have absolutely no problem with the fact that you're posting this stuff, but i have a problem with the mass of it, it is really annoying.
 
Anyways, sorry that i broke the holy unwritten forum rule to only write nice stuff in others org introductions, have a nice one

blueprint trading is planned as far as i know and merge blocks like in space engineers are also considered i believe

As Einstein said, and this is true story : "Pay-to-Play is the only thing keeping the Universe together ~ George Washington"


Please don't make the game Free-to-Play, because as the industry has proven, every game going free-to-play ends up being ignored after 3 months of its release because it's consider another rip-off "generic koean MMO big-boobs female models" MMO that came out Korea's MMO factory-assembly machine.


As we are lucky, their crank on that machine has broken as of late and the flow has halted. Thank you Black Desert for that, perhaps you put the nail to the Korean MMO genre coffin. Lineage 2 kept you one foot out of the grave for all those years.


So, make the game Pay-to-Play.  Why? Because, as our adversaries on the Free-to-Play front have done, I'm going to providei inaccurate statements that may seem legit.


a ) Pay-to-Play helps NASA : Have you ever looked into NASA's budget? Neither have I, but I can tell with certainty, that they have aliens found and locked up in Area 51.


b )Lizard poople ruling the world . Have you seen one? EXACTLY, they hide very well.


c ) Who let the dogs out? UH?! Woof, woof-woof woof-woof!


d) The fact 15 USD is a researched price of subscription that in 2004 seemed affordable and on this day, with all the inflation goin g on, is actually costing more like 8 dollars in 2004 money. But hey, don't stop economics science stop you.

As you can see, my years in drinking beer over my blood-alcohol level capacities, lead to some pretty constructive criticism of the Fre-to-Play model.


In all seriousness though, we need access to Area 51.




If any Free-2-Play people has anything to say, see this video first. Spoiler alert, I'm a Honey Badger.
