is this game all about combat, or can you mine? and such

Combat is the main feature of the game currently, but you can definitely mine and trade. :)

And other... :D

You can allso make a racing career, track (tubes) or ralley (deneb-run).

All activities can involve non-consensual combat at any time. Nothing like early morning miner hunting to blow off some steam.

...people.

It's all about combat.

There is a trial, best way to check if you like the game is to use that.
