What is your impression of the game in its current state ?

Is PVP FFA ?   Do I have to worry about getting ganked everywhere I go ?

What kind of looting  happens if you are killed by another player ?

Would you reccomend the game today ?

How did you like the crafting ?  ( I love crafting, pve and faction conflict ?

Is there faction conflict ? FFA pvp ?   Players vs npc robits ?

Thanks for any help you might give

Only been playing since July, so take this as my noobish impressions:

• I like the game very well.  In particular, I like how the terrain/landscape flavors the game.  I also like that you can run into some pretty nasty NPC, that you aren't expecting, even on the Alpha 2 islands.  Had to dodge some the other day in my miner.
• PVP is open on the Beta Islands, but not on the Alpha's; so no worries about ganking (except by the NPC's)
• Folks loot from those killed in PvP, but I don't do too much PvP; others will have better answers on the mechanics of it.
• I like the crafting of the game very much, although it seems to take a while to get going on it.
• There is a corp/alliance structure around which teritory is controlled/PvP occurs.

To answer your questions:

What is your impression of the game in its current state ?

Very good - it's addictive (I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not! Probably good!)

Is PVP FFA ?   Do I have to worry about getting ganked everywhere I go ?

If you don't want to PvP (until you are ready) stay on the three alpha islands. 

What kind of looting  happens if you are killed by another player ?

If you venture onto a beta island (or higher) they can loot everything that's left of the wreckage of your robot. However, in this situation, you will probably be in clan - so it's not a big deal - your clan will give you another robot so you can keep helping the clan yourself.

Would you reccomend the game today ?

Yes! In important aspect is to think about what sort of robot(s) you want to 'pilot'. For example, I was using the laser faction for ages, then I tried the missile faction and discovered that these robots suit my PvE style much more.

How did you like the crafting ?  ( I live crafting and pve and faction conflict ?

I don't craft so I can't really answer your question - however, the whole economy relies on crafting. Everything needs crafting except the very basic stuff.

Is there faction conflict ? FFA pvp ?  

Yes - very much so!

Players vs npc robits ?

Yes - very much so!
