I'm having difficulty finding information on this. What exactly will the public universe entail?

1)How free will I be to attack people?

2)How long does it take to travel?

3)How in depth will the economy be?

4)How large is the focus on NPCs compared to players?

5)What will happen when you die?

6)What will happen when your ship is captured or destroyed?

7)How open will the PvP be? Is there any way to avoid a "battle instance"?

8)Will there be any form of large scale pvp and territory control?

9)What role will exploration play in the game?

10)Will there be any production and crafting outside of overclocking?

Thanks in advance.
