I have been following this game since it's announcement viewing it with the potential of being the perfect game for me, initially i was worried about whether or not they could do anything but now i have 2 main concerns after seeing how well it handles stress tests.
 
I, in games rather enjoy being a bit of an antagonist and i find one of the worst things for an open game such as this would be over moderation, people complaining about raids or pirate thefts or the such. I believe that moderators for the game should only really deal with hacking or exploits, everything else (everything done fairly) should be dealt with by players in game, just as perpetrated. For example, a pirate base keeps raiding nearby nations, these pirates shouldnt be hit with a banhammer or threats of it. The nearby nations should half to deal with it, this is where the fun of a social/combat crossover game comes from
 
The second thing is i heard there will be items added in dlc, which preorder packs include these?
 
If i find the both of the answers for these questions favorable, i will be buying the game as soon as possible, aiming for the $120 (one thirty something CAD) package

Thanks for the responses. I dunno where i heard the dlc thing from (somewhere on youtube, definately) but i thank you all for your time and your responses. Now begins the hard part, joining/creating a faction

I am aware and thank you

As stated, atmo womt be a thing, at peast for a while. 
 
Someway to flip a construct is needed, the nanoformer could have this function, but I havent heard it discussed. 
 
I completly agree on merging constructs. I hate game where if you ship gets cut in half you have to rebuild it rather than merge the pieces back together.  Especially if we wont have salvaging for a while.  

I honestly couldn't care less how to name my characters lol
 
Different story with displaying that name in-game - such is an interesting topic

please no names over the head. And please no killboards.
 
And yes please to hide the name so that there is the need to do in-game stuff to scout that char and get to know who he is. Interesting gameplay could arise from such a thing. 

I'd prefer alien fauna and flora, not "sentient" things. A variety of different alien animals would be interesting, different patterns at all. this wouldnt make much of a tactical advantage but i think it would help flesh out the games universe and some lone player gameplay. You could explain the aliens being on multiple planets (i doubt they are going to design enough for each planet) with lore to increase depth. 

I think these are great ideas, and I'd be very surprised if they didn't make it into the game in the long term. However, I doubt we'll see them any time soon as this feature is definitely not critical to having a complete game. As you said, it just takes a lot of effort to make the art and to balance the items, but perhaps this will be implemented eventually. 

Welcome there,
 
1) they'll only intervene when something against their eula arises. Like cheating, harassment (swastikas all over the place or something like that). Scamming, awoxing and stuff like that are imho handled as in eve online
 
2) every package comes with items. Just look through them. There won't be any P2W items though like a golden gun or something. Plus as this is subscription base and single shard, all patches and updates are free

For the first one: JC said on multiple occasions that the Game is intended for Matures (he said because of the Monthly Subscription there will mostly be Adults). This being the case the Moderation will probably not be as harsh as in Games that are aimed for younger People. 'Raiding' other Peoples Homes is what makes the Game interesting in the frist Place and this is an Intended feature (the game gives you enough Abilitys to deal with that on the Receiving End anyways - Shield Generators for example). That being said, there will probably still be a Moderation on stuff like Racism, and so on. Because that is something you can't tolerate in any Game. But as far as we know of, there will be plenty of room for you being destrcutive without restriction from GMs. It's one big Sandbox afterall.
 
Secondly: There are no Items for any DLC (there probably won't be payd DLC's in the game anyways since it is one persistant Universe which in itself makes it close to impossible to add DLCs that split the Playerbase - you pay a Monthly Fee anyways) in any of the Packages.
 
So buy the Game and make the last Stretch Goal a Reality
See you ingame.
