Yeah, sounds interesting - and exciting - but at the same time people may not want to team up to produce. I play EVE and they have lost a lot of players not only owing to the type of game play but because it often requires corp membership to reside in the more dangerous lucrative areas which is advantages. Of course it is still possible to advance on your own but it is difficult which partly explains why EVE has been stuck at 2008 player levels for years. In fact, CCP is pulling out all the stops to get and keep more players by changing and adding new game mechanics (ie citadels and easier skill training). Another solution of theirs to offset stagnant player count is to produce 3 separate games: Eve, Valkyrie and a first person shooter. This will fail in the end given technology, the same technology you are using, will be able to produce all 3 in a single seamless universe.
Ooops, sorry, got side tracked a little. As I was saying, not everyone wants to be forced to team up with others to play. That said, I have no problem with a coder building my designs - if they can withstand the embarrassment. Hopefully though coding will be strictly design focused and will not include performance because that would definitely give a small segment of the gaming community an advantage. Anyway, as you said 'we are not sure how deep the GUI will be in what it allows', so it may not be an issue.
I do not agree with coders and builders Not cooperating, Im from Second Life they did that all the time they had expert coders and expert builders, they got togather alot to build some great ships and other items in SL. So i thing coders and builders will be joining forces to build some of the best ships in DU.

I have a few hull designs from games i have played (second life, space engineers) that I've been wanting to build and see how they do in DU. So primarily idea first, build up the hull, then try and fit in the necessities. my ships I will be building are 1. SS RAM (luxury yacht), 2. CWC Wolverine (Special ops), 3. CWC Amazon (SUV (space utility vehicle)) the SS Ram is my Mobile Home. I will look at building a base on a planet to house all my ships.

If your using a Voxel Engine take a look at what the did in Everquest landmark that game using a voxel engine. we(players) were let loose in the alpha version of the game to help develop the game. it turned out Great, we did things the developers did not know the engine could do. they also gave the player the same tools more or less that they were using to develope the game. Let the Player in as early as possible to help build and Develop this game so Both sides are happy with the Release version. You will be glad you did.
thank you

what your talking about is what they have in Star Citizen right now, each ship is an instance so you can run around inside while flying and fighting, and do repairs.
