** I have to correct this a bit. Game developers sometimes create tons of concept art just for one design. Sometimes there are engine limitations, time constraint, manpower... This is just normal in design world.

* OK, this is a fairly important question. If you have 30 days of game time, is that access to the game for a period of 30 days, or 30 days of playing, which could cover several months?

** Canonically, it ''is'' vacuum, or nearly so. The "drag" effect is a side-effect of warp drives; a warp drive never fully shuts off, it just drops to idle, and when it's not pushing a ship across a system, it has the effect of slowing its own motion to a stop (and thus that of the ship it's mounted on).

** In the old days if you approach a planet at sub-light speed you'd eventually end up inside of it. (Now you just get bounced.) Clearly the astral bodies are some kind of holograms, and part of some vast conspiracy designed to hide the utter lack of physical substance in the universe.
