Character Development

Do we have skill points or levels in the game? How do we develop our characters? It sounds like it will be difficult to own a lot of ships or items, do we unlock certain ships or weapons based on a level of some sort?

No skill points or levels to the characters themselves. The skill comes from you, as a player, so the more you know and experience the better you will become at it.

There are factions within the game that you can build up a reputation with and over time they will offer you more interesting missions. Some ship components might be locked in the sense that you can't buy them from anywhere and only become available to you once a faction thinks you're good enough. The majority of items though will be available on the markets for a credit price.

Multiple ships is possible (not yet in Beta though) and each one will cost you a certain amount of credits to buy and equip, combined with a storage cost to keep them safe when not in use. You can only operate 1 ship at any one time.

HTH.
 
I don't think there's been a DDF post archived on NPC copilots (some of the ships have more than 1 seat in the cockpit and FD are considering mini-capital ships in an expansion), but I'd assume they'll have stats. Hopefully they won't improve though; you'll just trade up (or down, if you want to save money).
