To expand on what Lethys said, the result of having goods that need to be moved is that there will be players that can be payed to haul the goods for you ( if you don't want to pick it up yourself). It's not entirely known how it will work exactly but it is most likely giving the hauler the rights to pick up the goods and then pay the hauler when the goods are delivered.
Of course this requires trust from both sides to actually work, though I expect some organizations to build the required trust.

Interesting. I would like to see how these are different to all the idea threads. Keep 'em coming.

Novaquark will not be hosting a black tie sit down dinner with JC Baillie and your favorite Novaquark employees in the street outside Novaquark headquarters in Paris.
We do not request the pleasure of your company.
Where: Not on the street outside Novaquark headquarters in Paris.
When: Not on 1 April 2017, 19:00
Catering: The three course meal will not be catered for by Olivier Amestoy and his talented chefs from the nearby Auxria Restaurant.
RSVP: Do not RSVP.
Instead of paying for the ticket to this dinner, the cost of renting/buying formal wear, and the cost of travel and potentially an hotel for one night (shared or not), consider purchasing a Dual Universe pledge of equal value here: https://community.dualthegame.com/pledge

I have just one word: DUgasm.

Who doesn't want to build a ship out of wood just to see what happens? Space Morgans anyone?

DU appeals to a broad range of players. As long as its not mandatory and does not draw away from the actual game development, then why not?
Is it important for me personally? No not really. Being able to chat in game for me is more important.

Encrypted scripts are an idea for later rather than sooner. Though we can do many things when they are implemented.

How am I not following this? Fixed.
Time to wake up as a butterfly.

Good luck, since there are others already consolidating smaller organisations, GLSU is an example.
The more the merrier I say.

I was about to say "I sense a coder"
Welcome to DU. May your stay be a long and fruitful one.

Short answer: We don't know yet.
Slightly longer answer: I expect the containers will be protected just like everything else that is constructed (using RDMS, shields, barriers). Can you leave a container open for everyone to use? Probably. Can you lock it down for only yourself? Most likely. Can people break into a container that is out in the open? Maybe.Also... damn ninjas.

Welcome to Dual Universe.
I expect DU to cater for many different play-styles and groups. This includes the ones serious about the game and the more casual players.
Which between Star Citizen and DU will have the larger percentage of "serious" players, well, time will tell.
-
The Driller's Bar link needs to be fixed btw.
Done. Apparently copy paste is not foolproof
-
Engine exhausts should not be covered and should either render the engine ineffective or blow a hole in the construct, depending on the engine.
An idea for engine intakes and heat sinks could be tubing elements which connect the engine to the "outside" of the construct. Also tubing looks good even if its just decorative.

Welcome to the Nexus
What is the Nexus?
The Nexus is a group of neutral organisations for those who share an interest in a specific area of Dual Universe. Members are free to join and leave these neutral organisations at any time. Membership in any of these organizations will not interfere with membership in other organisations inside or outside the Nexus.
What do the Nexus organizations do?- They serve as meeting places for anyone and everyone interested in that organizations specialty e.g. exploration
- The are a place to obtain guides on how to get better at doing that organizations specialty.
- They have job boards which have actual work for the organisations specialty which goes beyond normal market trading. Think player generated quests.
- The organisations have no physical holdings or assets so they cannot be attacked nor go to war or have anything to do with politics.

DU Space Truckers
Do you like to trade? Do you like to put your legs up and watch the stars go by as you cruise through the galaxy, moving cargo from A to B? Do you like profit? If you said yes to any one of these, then join us at were we talk about the best trade runs and how best to avoid pirates. But mostly this group is about hanging out between runs.

Bullet Chain
I could not write anything for this crazy group, because I couldn't take a look inside for fear of losing, if not my life, at very least a limb or two. I was told they do "sanctioned wealth redistribution programs" and "space trash removal expeditions". But most just say they "blow stuff up" and for some reason they always add "at a price" and laugh. It's dangerous in there. Join at your own peril.

Dual Universe Constructors Guild
We build. Everything from the smallest hovercraft to the largest space station. From the deepest mine shafts to the tallest skyscrapers. We build housing for the poor and monuments for the rich.

p.s.
While the Nexus is hosted by Cinderfall Syndicate, membership and administrator positions in these organisations may be held by anyone. Cinderfall Syndicate does intend to provide job boards and markets for these organisations within the Cinderfall Syndicate trade hubs to further aid their growth and sense of community.

And since DICE has no clue of how to tackle the issue, I'll keep the idea to myself and contact you in alpha if I figure out how to implement this.
I'll probably opt for the good old "if they reach the finish line in one piece, they win the prize" kind of race, roman chariot races style.
Ah, Twerk mouthing off as per usual with no actual idea of how the game is going to be implemented instead of giving constructive feedback, everything just has to be barbs and breakdown. You go girl. (Some slippage back into hold habits there.)
That said, I am in favor of the simplest type of race suggested by Twerk: First one able to cross the finish line.

This sounds like a job for the DICE technicians.
There are many ways this can be done. The start/stop gate is plausible as long as it can read the time and the crafts ID as it passes through the gate. The script does not need to be on the craft itself, but maintained by an impartial judge that remains at that gate.
Will there be games inside DU? Yes there will be. Feel free to pop by if you haven't already and leave your thoughts on what games you want to see in DU.

Nope. "Interactive Block" means nothing to me. Do you mean... a chair? Examples would be nice.
-
Safe zone? There is only 1. There may be another about 2 years after release. So expect them to be rare. Also the area they cover could be considered small relative to the size of the universe, but 20km radius area seems quite big in the beginning.
Static cores should be able to be built anywhere tho, otherwise how do we get space stations? I don't see the point of building in deep space since it's far away from all those lovely resources, but that shouldn't stop people from having secret deep space bases.

We know coloring voxels is in the game already. Maybe a "stamp" from a picture you provide that colors the voxels for you?
Honestly though, I think people could be hired as artists to create a design you want in game.
Because it's amazing what you can do with a few pixels

Congrats to the winners.
Alpha Team Members are those in the community who are considered by NQ to have contributed to DU in a meaningful way. There have been two waves of members added to this list (before the Kickstarter) and the third is coming soon. And being a member does give access to the alpha.Does that mean (I am a silver founder) that if being part of the alpha team gives us access to the alpha? Also what is the third wave?

Food is not being considered till after release (perhaps it will come in the obligatory farming expansion). I would be surprised if the nanoformer is not used to collect all the resources, and to date we have not seen anything else. There are images of storage containers for liquids, gasses and solids, so presumably the collected goods will be able to be placed into these storages. It currently looks like similar resources stack, though what the limits will be in players inventory and in the containers is unknown.
