The German arm of Eurogamer had landed an interview with Kirk Lenke, Reakktor's CEO. While obviously to promote Black Prophecy, a large part of this interview is about the company. As such, we hear about Reakktor's history with Neocron (it doesnt go further back than that) and the 10Tacle insolvency, the number of people working on BP (39, in line with the 40-50 we were told years ago, although perhaps suggesting some layoffs) plus the use of outsourcing for music (Dynamedion) and graphics (Rocketbox, watch this space for more details) as well as the company's plans for the future.

With regards to game details, we get more of the emphasis on space-fighter combat over trading or such. It is explained that the skills, contrary to my earlier guesses are purely requirments and do not influence effectivness. Micheal Marrack is also stated to be available to work on expanding the storylines, along with many references to continuing development of the game post-release.

For those of you without a stunning grasp of German and perhaps slightly scared by what Google does to the interview, Renfield has again provided a translation on the offical forums.
