I'm curious. Will building be advanced to the point where we could build gigantic war machine for combat? Something along the lines of these:
 


 
 
(Sorry for the big images, I tried the Image resizer  someone gave me for my first thread and It ended up messing all of my images up)

I've seen the trailers and interviews from this game and I am absolutely blown away but I must ask some questions before I sink my money into this. Don't get me wrong, I know this won't be a disappointment but I do have some things that I've always wanted to do and some of them were the reasons why I'm in to games like these.
 
 
 
Question 1: I was reading up on an interview and It said the devs are unsure about the alien life in other planets Is this true? 
 
Question 2: Is It likely to stumble into a massive battle between control of a planet or a large area of one? I'm not against It, Infact, I'd really really like It if that happened
 
Question 3: One of the reasons why I thought about getting this game is because of my idea of building some kind of recuperation facility in deep space were I can sell stuff and give out tips to new players. Will this be possible? And follow up to this question, Will eating be a thing, too? One of the things I've wanted to sell is food. 
 
Question 4: Are swords confirmed?
 
Question 5: Will there be planets that have only one biome? Planets with just ice or planets with just lava, planets like these (Sorry for the long images);  
 
 

 
 
 
Question 6: I'm well aware that the game will have cool futuristic cities but will they look as awesome as these; (Again, I'm sorry for the long images, hopefully the moderator that looks this over can shrink this down) 
 

 

 
Question 7: Will space look as cool as this; 
 
Question 8: If monsters are confirmed will they look as cool as these: 
 
Question 9: The whole subscription thing doesn't really thrill me. Will you release this game on steam?
 
Question 10: I kind of like the whole "Moderator has to approve your post before It gets put on the forums thing" It saves me the embarrassment of doing something silly. If It's not too much trouble on the moderators, Is It possible for me to keep this on even when I do make 1 more approved post?
 
 
 
 
Thank you for answering my questions and again, I'm really sorry if the images I posted are too long.
