Q1: How will the ground fighting work? Is that like war clan gun fighting or do you mean low altitude? Melee combat?

A1: On planets we plan to have tanks, planes, boats, and more. Yes to melee combat too. We want to support a variety of handheld weapon types.

Q2: Are civilian ships such as miners, cargo, transportation/luxury under the same category of class sizes as military vessels?

A2: They fit under the same class names but don't necessarily have the same limits as military vessels. We'll release more information on this as it becomes available. 

Q3: Are unclaimed planets going to have base populations, or will they have to be colonized for population growth?

A3: Currently the plan is to, when we release planets, have them as being uninhabited by any players/player NPCs. That might change in the future if we wanted to add NPC civilizations to support the game's economy.
