Now with farming coming in the distant future, could it be possible in the far distance future to retire with our Character and do some farming. Like a mini game, ala Harvest Moon and having a small house on Goss, a field and a garden.

I would say it's not really the concept of being tired, all these different occupations that you do and some will be, you know, peaceful, you know farming. There's a variety of other ones…

So the answer's yes?

Yes, but you kinda have to qualify in that the way that you go about…

They still have to work.

If you want to not deal with any of the combat…

They still have to defend their homestead.

If you go find some distant locale to where there is very little bits going to draw over there, you know, more nefarious elements and basically then you do your mini game. Just like you could do over in a busier area of the system but because the potential payout is less or because the density of other farmers or transit pathways or whatever is less, you'll just attract less attention. The key point there is though that you're not off isolated, you're still in the same universe, it's just that that solar system is an enormously large place and so it would be very easy for those players that really want to do these self contained, isolated activities to basically go find a little area and you know, do their own thing… but there's always the possibility that someone's going to find them and if they're actually..

Yes, you log out and you come back and your homestead's razed by the bad guys and you got to come back and track them down for vengeance.

It's the same thing with mining you can just picture that will certainly be well known fields of very valuable elements that, you know, that loads of players are being drawn to and extract and that draws all the guys who are looking to making a quick buck and you're going to see a lot of freighter traffic. There will also be little pockets of value here and there potentially that you found yourself and so it's possible but very unlikely someone else would find that within the same, you know, small periods of time that you're out there exploiting those natural resources. So I think just from the sheer size of space, a lot of the players that want isolation, you know, they're going to have that but there's always that danger, they never really know for sure because they're going to be in a universe with thousands of other players.

Ok, so just a couple questions left. I think this one's probably a pretty quick answer.

[31:59] Will there be multiple currencies, perhaps used by different races? If so, will there be any variation in the exchange rates between those currencies?

Well … so starting out it's just going to be the UEC. There most likely will be a currency for the Xi'an. Most likely be a currency for the Banu. But that's a longer term aspect and you probably wouldn't trade in it. So you would … basically everything would be translated to UEC and we would just trade from there. And then maybe down the road if we got more into "Hey, future expansions" - which by the way we have a huge amount of work already but we've talked long term about being able to play another race like the Xi'an and the Banu - in that case it would probably make sense that you would have currency for those particular races.

Yep.

But until … while you're playing Human you will trade in UEC and there'd be just a … basically a currency … just like now if I'm in dollars and I'm in Europe I can pay in my card in dollars even though they're translating it from … exchange rate from Euros.

We likely wouldn't have an identical translation mechanism everywhere which means for the more economically orientated players it presents some interesting opportunities in terms of arbitrage and things like that. It becomes a commodity like anything else to where the value is one thing here and it's slightly different there and therefore you can basically accept a contract and transfer that value via whatever mechanics we come up with then ... you could make some money.

Just to be clear this is a stretch goal this one.

Yeah.
