Hi 
Will NPC's have any practical impact or presence in a players created Colony, for example, Space Station Security or Planet based Stations & Ports Security. Will your Stations (generally speaking) be protected in much the same way as the stations (in space and on planet Stations) as they are now, and if so to what extent or level, for example, high security to low security. In other words, will your Colony automatically have the games NPC's (programmed) there once you have created / orchestrated any Stations in that chosen System.

What can we realistically expect in terms of economy, services and locations based on the system layout and it’s resources? Essentially, do we have full control over what appears in a system or does the make-up of the system determine what POIs (such as Res sites) appear and where they can be found.
E.g. If I’d like to place a Res site on the sunny side of a tidally locked bodies rings could this be done or will everything other than stations be randomly placed?

- What is the shortest time it would take to have a colony set up to the point where it could launch the next colony?
- Is there a limit to the number of colonies each player will be able to have?
- Will we be able to name any aspect of our colony?
- Will the initial faction be secure in the colony (always present) or could they be forced out of system by the BGS
- Will players have an option name their own minor faction when they colonise or will you re-open the request process for new PMFs?
- Are there any restrictions on what type of system players can colonise? Eg Could they colonise a system with only a single star?
- Could you consider running the beta with longer distances than 10ly? I appreciate it is easier to make it bigger later then to start restricting people, but 10ly is rather low.
If a player colonises a system and then stops playing will the system be frozen from a development perspective or would there be a way of transferring ownership or gaining control?
Will placing surface settlements affect (flatten) the terrain around them, if so will there be a preview before confirming the placement?
Will it be possible to dismantle/demolish things you've built as a system architect to make room for new things?
Can we select what flight controller voice is used?
I'd love to have the robo voice and 'All Northen like' Jane Horrocks but dislike the ones that sound like my bank helpline.
