@dylanwhiley well I would say yes. Items like weapons, furniture, and appliances will be craftable Items, and you can use them in anything you build. If you look at the many videos you can see all kinds of things like tables, chairs, beds, nightstand, even bathrooms amenities like toilets and showers. Those type of things are just decorative elements, the weapons being functional elements.
 
We don't even know what all the building items available are yet in the final release. An Novaquark will continue to add more after release as the game grows.

An oven is probably within the ability of voxel building. A modern boxy stove top and oven would be fairly easy. An old style bee hive oven a bit more of a challenge.
 
Public videos have pretty clearly exposed the idea of an element, i.e., a mesh building part that actually has function. I suspect that weapons will all be elements so I expect we'll be limited to the weapons NQ provides. That's really for ship's weapons.
 
I have no idea how personal weapons will be handled.
 
Look ma... answered the question without breaching the NDA.

Indeed, i agree But well that keeps us busy till release, planning, diplomacy, dreams getting into reallity, others failing.
 
Yeah must love the Wait, Well i love to shake hands after release on the Tranquility with you  

Yeah, I guess all we can do is wait and see what happens. There are so many different factors to think about, but you just have to let it start and then let the ecosystem develop I suppose. 

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows what ppl will do. What we can say for sure though is that builders WON'T be online - and that's a good portion of the playerbase. So you'll certainly lose those.
 
For your last sentence: that's why there are safezones. So ppl can't destroy your stuff.  
 
And des, it's sub based 

Well noone will holdyou offfrom creating your own Business- that's exactly what DU is about. So go for it. 
 
This has been debated by NQ too. It's not so simple as you picture it. Because of the nature of DU this is actually quite difficult to implement - just think about the implications for online times of users not interacting with others, void cities because everyone builds in their safe VR chamber, less interaction between players and so on. 
NQ thinks about this too, but IF we will ever see such a thing (Or similar) is written in the stars. Not for release, that's for sure. IF at all, then maybe years after launch 

See, Du is a MMO. As such Organisations should and will always outperform solo players. It wouldn't make sense for a MMO to enforce solo gameplay. 
 
That said, you still can do stuff if you're solo ofc  - it's just harder. Trade on the markets to get quanta - I fueld 3 accs in eve (plex, ships, ammo, stuff) with just that. Or produce every day basic goods and sell them. With your profit start building stuff and blueprint it to sell it - maybe ppl buy it, maybe not. Depends in quality. 
 
If this is too much hassle for you then des, joining an org is a wise decision 

i had the same feeling you have but during reading everywhere and being in the pre-alpha and the alpha, folowing the community and making more friends everyday i think we should not do this.
Let me say why: indeed it would be nice to be able to design outside the server and then poof it in the world, and indeed it would be alot safer. But there is a big but
 
You will miss out all the fun, you will miss the explosions, the friendship, the pain oooh the pain of failure you can share with your friends. The chats, the urge to just continue till its late at night because, just Addiction!!!
You would build in a dead world, design in a dead world, be Not a part, excluded, outstander, no pain no gain, no fun no glory.
You would miss the friends helping, making your plans better, them mining for you, designing with you
 
And much more.
 
So it would be best to find friends who help you, protect you, immerse you in the full feeling that DU brings, be inspired, be immersed, be brilliant
