LUA is realyl basic and efficient extension languge for a C/C++ engine (like the one used by the devs).
 
 
The thing is, the devs won't input LUA in its raw form. They will omit some of its commands to avoid hacking or cheating in-game. Sure, you could create a password for your ship to go online, a form of "key" if you will.
 
 
But don't expect LUA to allow you to make A.I. in-game, not in a surreal way at least. Automated drones? Sure, perhaps even tethered on a weapons' officers in-game terminal, the way guns will be operated on a ship, but don't expect an autonomous fleet of ships, that can repair themselves, harvest resources, or trade on their own volition, without any help by the players.
 
 
LUA won't be a legit botting excuse.

I think in the DU should be available VOIP, voice communication system.
 
Possible to use in:
 
1) communications ship vs. ship, pilot with another pilot,
 
2) communication on board of ship / vehicle, between crew members,
 
3) communication between the ship and traffic control on stations or planets (we may ask for permission to land),
 
You can do cool inflection reminiscent radio.
 

You can eat uranium and worm as a meal.

I'll hunt space pigs with an axe.

Without gameplay mechanics a pub or a bar is pretty pointless in a video game. Star Wars Galaxies used buffs from music, dance, or any other entertainment to solve this. Because this the bars were crowded. They were good places to take a breather. I hope this system will make its way to DU.

Player driven prison is a good thing but there should be a limit because imprisoning somebody for days is nonsense in a video game

I hope large scale industry will be able to harm the ecosystem of a planet. This mechanic would be able to hold back players from building huge industrial complexes. But i know a lot of players completely ignores the look of the landscape so there should be negative effects on Industrial wastelands like toxic air, undrinkable water, no food source ect. This would lead to a Galactic Greenpeace faction on the other hand.
