Q: What sorts of players will have access to ships? Can you give us a brief example of how a player gets a ship? Are there any special maintenance concerns?
A: Again, just like nearly everything else in the game, starships will be built by players for other players. So, gaining a starship is simply a matter of earning enough credits to buy one from an in-game crafter, or finding a friend to build you one. We believe that an entire new market for artisans will open up, and the rate of player advancement through the ship-building profession will determine how many (and which types) of starships are available on any given server at any given time.
In terms of supporting your space lifestyle, there will definitely be maintenance concerns, as ships used in combat will take significant damage that will need repairs. Ships will not, however, require regular maintenance to be paid like player owned dwellings do on land.
