Q: Are the ships limited to any shape or size? i.e. can I shove a thruster on a city and pilot it through space?Are the ships limited to any shape or size? i.e. can I shove a thruster on a city and pilot it through space?

A: There are no size limits at this moment and we are lucky, it can stay there.[1]

Q: Are there plans for weaponry?

A: Weapons = yes, but the details will come later[1]

Q: So if small ships aren't affected by gravity, how would you go about making a hanger deck on a large ship without your small ships flying all over the place? Could the landing gear be made to be magnetic?

A: Yes, landing gear is something we should do at some point. Gravity wouldn't help here, because small ships in hanger would jump around during acceleration and deceleration anyway.[2]

Q: Will Space Engineers support mods and/or the modding community? A: Likely - VRAGE 1.0 has been released with full source code, so it seems as though Keen Software house knows the benefit of mod support. One reason behind their decision to release VRAGE 1.0 was that "it increases the value of Miner Wars 2081 for existing and new customers." Only customers who purchased Miner Wars 2081 could have access to the engine.[3]
