Potential Player questions

[Guest Hurum]

Prospective player here, trying to find some info on game mechanics.  Any info would be much appreciated

 

1. My understanding is that everywhere except the Safe Zone is PvP?

2. and the Safe Zone is around the start area on Alioth?

3. I assume that all static constructs are still present when you log off and can be destroyed/interacted with whilst you are offline?

4. What about ships and vehicles?  Are they also vulnerable whilst you are offline?

6. With ship building, does thruster placement matter, or is it more like Space Engineers with only the thruster direction mattering?

7.  How long does it take to fly from world to world?

 

I am not personally very interested in PvP, but accept the  possibility of it outside of safezones (for a persistent universe shaped by the actions of its inhabitants there has to be some PvP).  But  the possibility of losing my stuff when I'm not logged in (esp. if IRL events mean you need to log off right now, and don't have time to park somewhere safe) rubs me the wrong way.

 

Looking forward to learning more.

 

Thanks
