Any Intel on this new game?

Reviews claim it's a cross breed of Elite and EVE, but a crucial FAQ is lacking:
• item loss or not, do ships explode?
• tolerance for nasty behaviour?
• item injection through RL cash shop or just cosmetics?
• cash injection through RL cash after early access or no? (will it have an economy)

Tested.

No death penalty = no economy in there. Shallow, not at all like EVE in the core.

It's a Elite/Star Citizen without the vaporware.

Heh. A game called "Entropy" with what could be called jokingly no entropy. Bazzinga!

Threw some money at it because YouTube reviewers claimed it's an EVE with controls and claimed to be bittervets. Should have realized they don't get EVE even after years of it.

That made me think what would I consider similiar to EVE. Three key points:
• Supply demand economy with low grade stuff being on demand due to ship and item loss
• Single shard population
• Metagame encouraged by the former two and by CCP.

On the phone/tablet game Parallel Kingdom is a great game. IT is played on goggle maps. It is a land conquest. One could say that one could pay to win in PK, but more often then not it is the War Kingdoms taking down kingdoms from players that paid a lot of money to make themselves untouchable and were not truly prepared for what a war kingdom actually brings to their door step. It is very much a supply and demand economy and scamming, warring, intolerable behavior is accepted. On death players drop a pack and if it just so happens that they do not have enough pack space left when that one pack drops they drop gear/mats/items on the ground, that are free for the taking.
