David,
Which car are you taking to go see the Queen?
Yes people that's to scale!
Ahh - I'll probably take the train... ;-)
Will do, thanks David.
Hi David
firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and the Team at the Baftas as one of the Elite Ambassadors,
and thank you for the opportunity.
My Question.
with the 30th anniversary only 2 months away, do you have any surprises lined up to mark this event for your backers. or will the anniversary be the launch of the public Gamma?
30 years is a pretty big achievement to mark within the Computer game industry, as not many games from the mid 80s have survived to be given a sequel after 30 years.

Question:
Currently, the best way for new players to make money is through combat and the best way for more progressed players to make money is through trading. Is there a plan to balance income between the different gameplay roles?

Hi David,
My 14 year old son is super-keen on game development & design, especially 3D modeling and animation. Do you think the modern 'Game Design and Development' type college courses offer a good route into the game industry ?

Hi David,
I was wondering about the mission system and how work is progressing on that front. Can we expect to see anything implemented soon(™)?

Expansion Pass - Good Value?
Hi David.
Will the expansion pass be good value for money, or is it more geared towards allowing people to "back" further development?

In an interview with Scott Manley you said you never tried the programm/game Space Engine, have you now? If so what do you think of it?
. Besides, MIchael kind of "confirmed it yesterday anyway. 
Hi David.
A couple of questions;
1. Did Michael pass on the thank-you card from Lave Con?
2. I showed my 7 year old lad the galaxy map, which he thought was 'Awesome'. Just judging by both of my kids reaction, it could be an astounding educational tool. Have you had feedback on the Galaxy Map from fellow astronomers or people like Dara O Briain, or Brian Cox?
Cheers

This is always a problem. Server moderation is our first line of defence, but sadly some hacking will inevitably go on. Some hacks are easy to detect, some much harder. Deciding what to do is also tricky too - either forcing single player, or ultimately banning depending on what it is seem like sensible options.
