I just read through the entire writer's guide, in one sitting, is all the information included therein still up to date, or will there be some more updates coming?asked by Thanatos
TL;DRThe writer's guide is mostly up to date, but some aspects are changing and it will probably be updated soon, with no date given.
For the most part it's pretty up to date. I mean we are changing some aspects of it and its actually been sort of on a backburner lingering list of things that need to get done to basically keep it more... because we've been doing obviously, with all the script stuff and Squadron 42 stuff we've been developing the PU history and the aliens races and the civilizations and stuff like that. We'll probably be updating it soon. Part of it also about how we parse out that information, but yes it there will probably be an update.
I thought the Writers Guide was a great, especially earlier on where we didn't have the game for people to play, but you could already imagine yourself in the universe and you could start creating your own fiction in it.
Yeah it was fun too also having the aspects of it that we started doing with the Lore Builder where there the areas we haven't quite figured and so we got to turn to the community and I remember particularly we generated a lot of bands that did music and beer and...
Star Citizen, full of bands and beer.

Now I always like looking back on a show and it'll always be like 20 and 30 years later where we're like "Oh there's the Star Trek writers bible" and it's cool that we just put it out for everybody early on.
Yeah, actually the Star Trek Next Generation bible is, I have it in my office actually if you haven't read it, you should check it out.
One of my favourite things in the world is the licensed tie in fiction that comes very, very early, like they kicked off some writer writing the first couple novels before they shot the first episode. So data has blue skin and emotions, it's great.
