Numerous: Can players beam anywhere on the planet, or only to specific places?

When you beam to a planet, you only beam to a specific location. This is to help retain the flow of our Episodes, which link missions between ground and space.

However, we're looking into site-to-site transporter powers, which would allow you to "beam" across short distances for tactical purposes and allow you to get to places you couldn't normally reach. But that's still in the works.

Numerous: Will different places have different environmental conditions that some races are more capable of withstanding than others?

Currently, no, but that's a great suggestion we'd like to look into. For instance, some cold environments where Andorians would get a bonus and other races would receive a penalty. We're spending more time looking at racial bonuses right now, so it's a good time for us to talk about it internally.
