1. How big is the entire galaxy as far as exporation? How many systems? How big is each system to move around in?
No idea, looks small though ;)
Each zone is very small relatively, you can fly from 1 side to the other within 10 minutes?
2. Are these systems instanced or is the entire galaxy open without loading?
You're instanced inside the planet/area.
Loading to a new zone is quick and very effective. There isn't a real loading screen it just shows your ship going WOOSH then you appear within 3-4 seconds.
3. How does warping work? Is it a warp graphic and then a quick load or is it a straight point A to B non-loading warp?
Warp graphic - then a quick load.
There is no warping within a zone as it's to small really.
4. How does the PvP work? Is it open world PvP where anyone can just start joining in that's in the local area?
Yes and yes.
Team killing and all. However, I don't think they have the appropriate death mechanics in play. Or least I hope not. You instantly respawn in the same area you died with no punishments, full armor and shields.
Actually annoying considering you respawn and instantly kill the guy who killed you :(.

This isn't a game to compare to Eve at all. Basically your fighter ship IS your character. You give your character weapons and upgrade, your character levels with a skill system.

-edit

Instances:

There are zones which have multiple instances. Since each zone can only handle so many people. You can actively jump instances so you're in the same one as friends, or search for people etc.
Just with games like Runescape and world switching etc etc.

Well I've just installed the client and the patcher is running as I type so I should be in game tonight...maybe. I'll be planning on using the name Hazloc.

Looks like I lied about being in game tonight. It seems I have to wait for a formal invite to join the beta :roll:

Okay so I decided to go genide...and wow, the genide space station reminds me of Tech Haven so much. :biggrin: There are also some drones you encounter in the prologue missions that really reminds me of nc drones, they look like the raptor.
And guess what, when you die, you get synaptic impairment...
:jawdrop:
I have just finished the prologue- chain mission, and Im pretty impressed, the story is really good(and fully voiced) its has a space opera feel over it, just like in the trailers. There is also a subtle sense of humour in all of it, the ship computer really reminds me of portal, for example.

I read the historical time line articles a while back. I thought it was interesting. Aside from the Tyi and Genides not getting along through the events of their own historcal backgrounds, the single faded broadcast warning from Earth is a nice touch. I'm assuming both factions will eventually be fighting this threat sooner or later.

I heard something about a open beta being opened this month, so I guess its pretty soon.

Btw BP have been patched about 4 times since in the past week or so. They are trying to balance all the weapons shields and so on, there have also been some improvements in the hud. In general, its pretty solid, there will be some more things that needs to be added, but its looking pretty good, and its a lot more stable than nc ever was. Based on what they have done so far, I think its pretty realistic, that they could pull off a Neocron 3, and that makes me a very happy girl.

Btw if you guys want to see gameplay or something like that,there are plenty of movies on youtube.

I'd say we get in and tear some shit up in PvP, exploit strongpoints, etc. so it get's noticed and balanced. So it's not like nc's beginning was "OMG HYBRID! RUN!!"

(edit) I just thought to myself..."with how bad nc was ignored on exploits & balancing, advertising, low pop, lack of upkeep on the game, instability.......why are we so interested in their NEW game?..."

But the answer i thought of immediately...the FEEL. No other game has that kinda feel to it, that i can't describe. lol From the char movement, emotes, power armors, buildings, in-city advertising voices, background music, and outside world. It seemed like just from all that it really made you feel like you were in a real post-apocalyptic world with groups/factions at war with each other over the little bit of world left, and you were in the middle of it.

Not to mention the names of factions and weapons. (I love the "swirly" idea. think about it. what other game has a physical animation around the rare & strong weapons? I'll bet there's only 1 or 2 in existance) I've used Moonstriker as my in-game name in some games. =p
