My only concern is in the compressed matter of containers, Not specifically that you are compressing it... But that people will fill containers with a different tonnage of items. 1 Cargo container might have 10,000 iron ore, and another 20,000 iron ore. Would people be able to see the difference ahead of time? Gallo makes a point, I drive a semi around, the direction of the industry is definitely moving towards automated everything. At least for the routine stuff, there will probably still be specialist drivers and FL operators to an extent for all eternity. I guess it may be possible with the dpu's we can automate many things.

I know who to contact to smuggle me into your guys territory for secret meetings ... hah... Hah... Astro!!!!! were gonna have to wipes everyone's memory again.

Hey friends, this looks promising! Go Go BOO! Band of Outlaws is sure to be a fun, action packed organisation. Cybrex and any other leaders they may have, are undoubtedly going to treat you very nicely! I hope we can work out cooperative deals, I have a couple things in mind already~ 1.) I hope we can find some games for the DU community at large to play while we wait, possibly setup some match making somehow to find peoples to play with, or spar against. 2.) I was wondering how you all might feel about a CO-OP city or station, mostly for pirates, mercs, smugglers or other shadowy peoples. The name Tortuga came to mind, that was always one of my favorite city names from Pirate of the Burning Sea, plus Tortuga 'Turtle' Station is just cool, but Id be open to whatever, just an idea if you thought a neutral zone haven might be cool, sell off your looted goods to traders and return the goods back to the market. 3.) You... know, a certain organisation might need to hire organised raiders to shake the status quo up from time to time... Uhhh what... I mean I love peace, yeah, yeah rainbows, skittles, peace! If there's something I can do to help you compatriots out shoot me a message, regardless of my position. P.S. Ryoko, nice Girls und Panzer icon, if thats not GnP lemme know i like the style.

I think in this game i'll end up role playing an alcoholic, with a lot of stress from dealing with people, alliances, corporations, organisations, and random love affairs. I don't look for it, but it always finds its way to me. So... cheers! ....'hic'

It's one of the greatest game resources you could put in, the game, that people form strong opinions on but still isnt so offensive to turn people away from the game. Playing a rogue, selling product, can be a heck of a lot of fun. Maybe the tags will be specific enough to let you mark any trade deals involving 'contraband' as illegal, and mark those players temporarily or something.

Thats not.. potentially creepy or anything. Thank you porco for reminding me to always be cautious around the Nightclub

what have you done people. why must we do this (click the vimeo button to go to the website if you want full screen)

do you think these shield emmitters could be made in such a way to have.. A lattice of shields for enhanced strength at certain points. I like the idea of power management and managing the emitters, and the maybe overclocking them temporarily. What do you have in mind for shield transfers and or repair. Do you think you could make a network of ships somehow combining their shields for an overall combined shield hp? What do you think of the idea of a special tank shield that consumes more power or module points. Where the shield gains enhanced resistance somehow, in an effort to prevent blobs from shot-calling which targets to try and instant-gib?

It'll be a huge undertaking it will undoubtedly draw a ton of malice and negativity towards it. however it will also take many people working together to make it possible. I appreciate everyone wishing to assist in its construction. Things move a bit slowly, but as time goes one we will figure out how to bring everyone together on it. CSYN being what it is depends heavily on people coming together to build things, its really not very powerful all on its own. At first Alioth may be kind of dangerous, I hope however that people will also want to protect it, and use it as a peaceful place to trade or meet up, even if cinderfall doesn't benefit from it somehow. Perhaps after the main focus of the game drifts from Alioth, we can come together as a community to reduce conflict on the planet and use it as a place to help newbies get accustomed to the game before finding a faction to settle down with. I hope Emberstone can help in that process

The Cinderfall Syndicate is calling on the community in search of master builders and architects interested in creating as well as managing the creation of some of the most important construction projects within its domain. Emberstone: A Planetary Capital City situated near the Novark, to be open to the public and to serve as a major hub for trade, travel, and gathering. The following is a list of the key features which are currently being discussed. The Grand Space Elevator - While at its core it is intended to function as a point of major travel throughout the galaxy. Its overall goal is to be a marvel of engineering, a symbolic gateway to new players as they take their first steps into the vast galaxy. Commercial District - (FlameFeather Mall) A series of stalls, buildings and or outlets situated near the space elevator which can be rented by organizations and individuals for either self promotion or retail use. Funds collected through this system go towards facility maintenance and funding newbie mission terminals on Alioth. The Battle Arena - A large arena to support both ground based combat training and competitive tournaments. Its relative scale and composition are currently only theoretical as they are dependent on currently unknown or unspecified gameplay features. We'll need designers willing to come up with area designs for combatant, possibly viewing stand. A large automated mass transit system - Given the large scale size of the project, a comprehensive transit system will need to be constructed to facilitate movement within Emberstone. Planned features include a large public docking network and internal transit vehicles as well as regular shuttles or transport buses to and from the Arkship, as well as around Emberstone. Town Hall - (Phoenix Hall) A grand central structure overlooking Emberstone to act as a “guild hall” for the Cinderfall Syndicate. It is to include various floors to be used for diplomatic purposes as well an area dedicated to housing memorials to famous and or illustrious individuals who have contributed to Cinderfall or the community. Syndicate Housing Area - A separate area which features player housing and storage for both member organizations within the Syndicate as well as distinguished groups and individuals who contribute constructively. Space Station: (Name to be decided later) An orbital body situated directly over the Grand Space Elevator that will eventually become an extension of Emberstone. Details on its construction and core features are still under debate and will be provided when it becomes available. The station, if possible will be linked via the space elevator, if not we will work on a public shuttle system from the ground to the station. We hope this may serve as one, of probably many, of the ports of entry to Alioth. We hope to provide, with these facilities, a way for newbies or veterans to find missions, content, and camaraderie. Proposed projects are under continuous development and subject to revision, alteration, and cancellation; any feedback is welcome. Any parties interested in being part in this historic endeavor please contact Astro, Neo, or Dark. (Astrophil, Neopolitan, DarkTemplar). Thank you.

Hoverboards aren't exactly my style. This however was one of my favorites as a kid.

When I read this... I thought Nyzaltar made a.. "Am I the only one who hates topics" as a form of ultimate satire. Either way, I think everyone pulled together and in the end it wasn't so bad. The follow ups were satire I hope nobody got in trouble. I agree though, were players, they're developers, were a community. Stay humble, dont push the devs for things just because we think were important or have power bloc's of players. Just be a human and ask like normal if there is something you want and let Nyzaltar give an honest answer if they think that fits for THEIR game. Don't be mad if they give you an answer you don't want, find a new way forward. Don't harass each other because it looks like someone found some level of success. All organisations grow differently in different ways, some people have social networking ability and other's dont. Lets aspire to friendly competition and not trying to spy on peoples real lives to degrade them in some way. Better to have friendly rivalries than something else. I believe thats all I can add, just my opinion and plea for greater unity on the forums. I'm sorry if not everything I post is top notch quality anymore, I've just been campaigning to try and boost forum morale and keep people's attitude out of the garbage bin. Once again, thanks Nyzaltar, keep up the good fight!

Only necessary pieces, I would like one capital planet for the Cinderfall Syndicate with possibly an orbital ring, if not just many orbital facilities. The surface to have minimal buildings and villas, to terraform the ground to look nice and just be a nice easy on the eyes place for characters homes. I wont be conquering any territory, unless the 1 solar system CSYN needs gets fast captured by someone else. Ill support everyone in CSYN though to expand how they want. go go Syndicate! And you know, the long running plans for Emberstone, a public city on Alioth, near the novark!, with public mass transit, access to the open markets of the csyn nexus and the members organisations of the syndicate, access to public mission terminals so people can get some credits early on. And the public mass transit to a orbital facility where youll be able to find transport to other community hubs. I swear its like I get ignored in my call's of peace, collaboration, and community. I gotta come crawling to everyone asking them if they wanna play with me, I wonder if I put people off somehow?

I've heard some rumor of your website, I saw the preview and I thought it was coming along nicely. I'd be interested to know more about the ACS. When you say corporations, are you perhaps referencing organisations in general. and might just have a lingering phrase from EVE? Or truly a unity government of allied corporate offices. I mean nothing negative just trying to wrap my mind around the ACS, who it is, what it's doing, and wants to do.

lethak hit just about every point I was going to say on why I didnt follow NMS. I was really interested in the idea, but as soon as I learned about the actual game I knew It wasn't for me.

Objective Driveyards, manufacturers of some of the finest space faring vessels around. Quite the sexy logo you have there, and also I think I've heard you all have a norse ship naming theme? thats pretty cool.

Good and bad is just a perspective. My heart is pure and I follow a pure sense of justice. I understand that a certain Neopolitan whom I adore is a tiny captain of evil, but Im just a sheepish friendly public servant.

Being an evil terrorist that sets out to destroy all governing bodies that oppress their people. Erm.. I mean, being a good guy. helping everyone in the Syndicate.

Ill just add the piece from the front Dual Universe game faq on how economies will work. http://www.dualthegame.com/faq " How will the economy work? (what follows is described for the purpose of the alpha and due to change as the game progresses) The economy will be a market economy primarily based on buy/sell orders of raw materials and elements. Prices on the market will be determied by supply and demand. Unique items, such as a well crafted and constructed spaceship will go to auction, we hope players can reward and appreciate builders and architects, whilst those with no desire to build their own crafts can still access sophisticated constructs. The passion behind Dual Universe is to have an emergent economy with minimun intervention by the developers. The Arkship will have rudimentary market with trading NPCs who will buy and sell various items and resources to provide early stage gameplay and bootstrap the economy. But other than that it will be up to players to build and manage market places. These will inevitably compete against each other (“market PvP”) and fuel other aspects of a civilisation; security, logistics, accessability etc. "

Well, I believe Darius has started working out the full on constitution for the TU, the rights of the people and powers of government. Just as a recap, Darius lives in a EU timezone utc +1 I think, however still this is a global game so hes planning for a global playerbase. The Terran Union is a full on national entity, Im sure theyll cover every range of game play. and by joining youll have access to additional friends throughout the syndicate. Thanks everyone, check out and sign up for the Terran Union for a stable place to build, play, and socialize!

Oh my gosh, The Mittens you are my hero! Everything I strive to be and ever wanted in life you already are and already have! Time to disband everything and join the one true power, glory to the Mittens!

I'm here to show my support, I'm not as brainy to be able to contribute much. The Kadpaks have 4 dimensional storage ability, I don't know if the tech will find its way into other applications. Might be able to help with explaining some things about the nano former. I know you said explaining it in our current terms, I just wanted to say sucking up a pool of hydrocarbons with a hand held beam might take some tricky explanation. heres the backstory section if you didnt already see it http://www.dualthegame.com/backstory I support this inquest for nanoformer knowledge and explanations

Thanks Garimon, If we try everything will be just fine. We just need to take a step back, breath some fresh air before diving back into things. I agree, we've become oppressive towards new people, we have a FAQ now, and the devblogs exist. All we have to do is be polite and try to guide people towards the facts. Even if its just a facade just say hello, link to the good stuff and dip out. Some people say, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." Not that we should bend over backwards and let thousands of people pressure NQ towards this payment model, or that style of gameplay when most people here can see the pure hearted vision of JC B and want to protect that. Just lets try to be better, to others and ourselves.

I'll work on another one if you want. But let me know somehow which one, It takes me a while to get anything done.
