Controllers include "everything" including people who just have mouse & keyboard? All I've read about has mentioned joysticks as a bare minimum, which is fine but does create a huge advantage for people with high quality & expensive rigs versus others with cheaper sticks.

Re me playing the game, I'm still weighing it up & will be for some time yet. I'll also need a new computer.

So the Dogfighting module is like a mini-game in which you can blast away to your heart's content, and if your ship's destroyed it doesn't actually count as a loss requiring an insurance claim?

I've also read somewhere that insurance renewal will require real money, not in-game currency - but that may obviously be wrong.

During Alpha no insurance, also we will be flying only available (produced) ships.

You can buy UEC (United Earth Credits) with real cash and with that buy insurance but you should be able to easily earn enough UEC in game. In theory you could earn enough UEC to buy your own planet.

Time's almost up!

Only abt 3000 slots left and the Dog Fighting Module should launch in a couple of weeks. This is the last chance to get in the Alpha test!
Smallest and cheapest (kinda like the F3) is the Aurora MR+ package for 40 bucks (you should be able to convert your Aurora ship into the Mustang when it will be available later on for free).

See you in the 'verse pirat
