Is the multiplayer 1 on 1 or do you have clans/guilds?
It is possible to create MP game with as many sides you want and distribute players to what ever sides you want. All players can be in one side and beat AI of the other side. Right now there are not enough players to make clans. It is good thing if you can find even just few people to play with.
What do you do on the planets?
Demo includes few missions on planets. It is mostly shooting other fighters and ground installations. Ground targets are limited to structures and fixed emplacements. No mobile ground units.
What store can this be bought at?
Matrix Store. You can pay atleast with credit card or something called giro. See STORE near top of the site? Click it and you get started.
How does the economy work in this game?
Fuel is restored full for every mission, so are weapons. Either don't run out in campaign (I think). But when starship takes hull damage, that damage remains for rest of the campaign. Also number of starships and fighters are limited: at beginning of the Operation Highlands everything you have is for rest of the campaign. Of course same goes for enemy. Or does Hegemony get reinforcements at some point? Can't remember...
Is there a main objective other then just battle?
There are few missions where is no action. Some of the shuttle escort and patrol missions are like that. Main objective is to win the campaigns. When I saw this last time discussed, success is tracked with scores: you need enough scores to complete campaign successfully.
