BTW the dev's are taking user input on the features of the game. Not just saying they are, but actually doing it. You can also make your own models and things to submit to the game for consideration. A couple user made ships are being picked and right now a contest is going on for designing the best asteroid. Player made bases WILL be included with the game. And since Arimil didnt post this little tidbit again: The game is largely about open world PvP, ganking and looting of other players is encouraged.
