Isnt this the idea forum? Yes I see that NQ did state something. But we are playing with ideas, which all have it pros and cons. The argument that NQ stated it is not planned is not an arguement as a pro or con. It is good to mention it, as the current state of game design, but thats it.

Hmm ... I consider the base requirements of any human being as fulfilled ... I do not see any value in doing it. The maximum I would consider is that the base of your living is costing you money every month. But that would then run you bankrupt and you can consider the monthly fee for the game as exactly that.
 
So I also fall into the department of "I do not want to do things in games like eat or drink" for no other reason than to create an economy around it.
 
For having a food industry, you can simply create a food sink (like space stations) that have food demand and then someone will start a farming career to make their living. Having everyone to eat is in my eyes not getting any addition to the gameplay. Creating artificial penalties for not eating or drinking is just a self justification why you have to eat in the first place. In real world you have to eat otherwise you die. It is for many many people just that and is driving a lot of their day to day routine. 
 
In first world is of cause needed to eat - however the focus is shifted and the question of eating is more like - do I shop something today, or do I eat out. That is all the concern we have and it is for many people in this worlds something they would even left out, if they could.
 
The point of Maslov is exactly, that if you do not have to care about food anymore, you will turn your focus on the next step. 
 
So I do not think to much on food in real live - i definately do not want to click on "eat" button in a game for no benefit.

Hallo SerErris,
Willkommen in DU!
Hast ja dein Abzeichen aus ED mitgenommen (alles Elite ?).
Ich habe auch 1,5 Jahre ED gespielt, war aber mit den Ingenieuren nicht zufrieden und habe dann DU entdecket.
DU wird endlich das Spiel in dem alles funktioniert. Dauert zwar noch etwas, aber der Ansatz ist erstklassig.
Man trifft sich sicher dann im Spiel. Viel Spaß.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Die Waldfee

Welcome to dual universe, if you have any questions about the game don't hesitate to ask them

welcome and hf in DU o/

Hi HuschHusch ... Das ist das Logo vom original Elite  ED fand ich immer großartig insbesonder mit dem Oculus Rift. Aber abseits vom großartig finden habe ich es auf der anderen Seite wenig gespielt. Irgendwie komisch.
 
Elite hat mich extrem geprägt (das alte original), das habe ich quasi auf jedem Computer wieder neu gespielt. Es war einfach zur damaligen Zeit sensationell und ich habe es zuerst auf dem CPC464 gespielt. Dann noch auf Amiga und PC
 
Ich renne immer noch dem Gefühl von Elite hinterher, das Elite Dangerous zwar etwas erzeugen konnte, aber nicht an das Gefühl vom Original herankam.
 
Naja - Elite zusammen mit Minecraft .. das wird schon was werden

I like the idea. And it depends on the number of systems (stars) we will have in the game.
 
A Dyson Sphere would eat up multiple solar systems resources to form it around a solar system and a sun. 
 
It is possible in theory, but if the game will make it possible - I can hardly believe. That would be alone in data (all the voxel information) so massive, that the servers would be breaking by trying it. Most likely the storage capacity of the game will break before we could finish it.
 
But there are variants and maybe a ring around the sun would be already good enough. And if that is to big - we could start with a ring around a planet, or convert a planet into a ring .. (Halo)*cough* 
 
As much as I would love to build on such a thing, I doubt we would ever manage to complete it. It would definately take LUA to do it. Humans are simply to slow ...
