With Chris and Star Citizen being committed to a fully fleshed-out universe, how do you imagine the lore of companies, i.e. ship manufacturers, featuring in our daily lives in the PU? For example, an energy efficiency scandal from RSI faking the efficiency rating of their power plant.asked by Bobsled624
TL;DRCompany lore could appear in game through ship launches, scandals, recalls and advertising, which the team hopes to use in various ways.
The other week I was talking with one of the designers about how fun it's going to be when we have the possibility of a first ship coming out once the PU is live. So a company actually launching a new ship in the 'verse, and experiencing that fiction through your character, would be an exciting way to use the lore of a company that way. Scandals would be really interesting. We had the Goldfinch scandal with Origin, which was fun. So stuff like that popping up in game. Maybe recalls. Recalls would be really interesting too. And we've done that before in the back end of lore, but as a way to, when we're doing a bug fix or something, we can skin it as that. So hopefully a lot of different ways. And a lot of advertising everywhere for the companies, when you visit Cry-Astro filling stations or showrooms and stuff, having those companies advertised as well.
Or steal a Big Benny's machine.
Which we do not recommend.
