If you do consider a pay to play model. Please consider a fee for creating empires and free to play to man a ship as a citizen. It would be a good way to show friends the game without them committing to a payment. 

I second this idea. I've long thought that Hazeron could be well suited to a tiered pricing model, whereby free/guest players could play the game as citizens and crew to get a taste, but not hold any governorship or captaincy.

The issue with that is, as Haxus himself pointed out, the gameplay for an "adventure player" just isn't there yet. It is likely in the long-term plan to allow for a tiered account system, so players can choose to be either an empire emperor, an empire citizen or an adventure player. But I think it would be too early to start selling that now (even for free).
