[Few questions on ship and ground mecheanics.]

From the game mechanics, it sounds like attaching engines or a mass driver to an asteroid (if you can find one) so you can "drop rocks down the gravity well" should be very doable. An atmosphere provides some protection from this, if implemented, but other planets could be quite vulnerable. However, given mastery of anti-gravity tech maybe deflecting asteroid strikes on a city won't be too hard.

[DevBlog: Resurrection Node Mechanics]

Since RNs are expensive and new players have one in their inventory, can't established players just try to talk new players into selling their RNs comparatively cheaply? Or will the starter RNs be locked to a particular player in some way?

If I had a really powerful power source, what's the quickest that I could charge an RN? If quickly relative to long distance travel times, couldn't I use RNs with a timer or remote signal on the power system as a way to still teleport by changing where my nearest charged RN was? If I empty my inventory first then there doesn't sound like there's any penalty.

[DevBlog: Arkship Security, or where does PvP start?]

I understand that people can build in the ask ship's safety zone and that the ark ship will protect those structures from being damaged by anyone unless the builder/owner grants them the right to do so. In that case, what's to stop me building a big wall or dome around the ark ship (if I've got sufficient resources) and charging exorbitant fees or requiring nasty contacts to be signed to go through the gate?

Also, if you build your own ark ship like safety area how would anyone damage something in that area? Isn't the whole point that is an area of invulnerability? How then could you ever lose it as long as you can keep the generators running?
