I don't disagree because I still consider the player economy pvp even though it is non-combat, since designers/manufacturers would be competing with each other to sell their stuff. Just things like allowing players to create safe zone territories, NPC authorities, or anything that removes control from players would limit the emergent-ness. Though some sort of fixed safe zone is necessary so players can't completely destroy the economy.

I don't even think it is possible to make non-PVP and PVP players completely happy in the same game world, it has to lean more towards PVP, especially with emergent gameplay as a defining feature.

Basic scripting, analytical stuff, and avoiding people

That argument doesn't work anyway because they aren't the same thing, one is player behavior and the other would be a game mechanic.

I was thinking about this also, would be nice to have a fuel port instead of having to cut slots in my ship's hull to access the tanks.

Ex-eve player here also. The more the merrier.

That's because there is so much gray area, you can still get sued even though you're not breaking the written law. And platforms like youtube will block content, even when it follows fair use.

I wanted a game like DU ever since I started playing Space Engineers, and found a link to the E3 video in the SE forums. I also played Eve for many years and was looking for the "next step" in single shard mmo evolution. I don't really have any goals other than to have fun, and figure it out as I go.

I was never trained in Eve, just listen to the FC and get thrown into the fire, that's good training. 😁

You should be able to tell if you're a kickstarter pledger if you log into Kickstarter and look on the DU page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1949863330/dual-universe-civilization-building-sci-fi-mmorpg

Well it all sounds good to me. (the FAQ)
