We've heard before that the dev team collaborates with the writing team to make sure the lore is reasonably in sync with the game mechanics, with some creative license in the fiction. Are you actively seeding clues in the lore that will lead to bigger mysteries or hint at secrets hidden for players to discover later? Is there room for the possibility that things hidden in the universe for explorers or other players to find might not be found for years, or not at all?asked by Eschatos

For perceiving things in the lore, so this wouldn't be so much a hidden mystery type thing to discover just how the first jump drive came about. That started in the fiction of; RSI had this malfunctioning Quantum Drive and from there they were able to use it to tap into jump technology and start travelling through these Jump Points. I remember a couple of months ago we were sitting down and we actually were going over it's like "Ok are these two separate things or are they all in one?" and that was definitely a cool thing, of going through where it was taking the fiction that we have and making sure that the gameplay surrounding it all gels together.

Yeah and fuel and everything, how to, Quantum Drive vs Jump Drive use and fuels and stuff like that, which ultimately lead to the fuel docks and what different fuels you use and stuff like that. The second part of the question; are you actively seeking clues that will lead to a bigger mysteries? Yeah, I mean that's always been sort of the thing. Theoretically ideally we are going to have a lot of narrative threads out there that we could pick up on or maybe no one sees and just nothing comes of it. Obviously once we start testing this out and see how it, exactly how hidden this stuff is, it's nice to think people might not discover Jump Points for a while or then they, you know find them within twenty minutes!
