The addition of allowing users to create API's to remove or automate many pleasant/tedious aspects of gameplay have been vital to keeping previous games alive. What features, specifically, do you have in mind for an API in Star Citizen?

I think that's WAY too early to say, I don't think we specifically have plans for an API in gameplay, but there is a plan to have an API for the website to allow people to scrape data from their Org or whatever they're up to to deal with sharing that information however they'd like. What we don't want to do is have an API that might allow players to run around and say, auto-mine or do any of that kind of stuff because it sort of defeats the purpose of existing in the world. We are placing a lot of emphasis on not making the player do tasks that would be considered tedious, doing the same thing over and over again that doesn't have much challenge, so I would say, we're not going to allow automation of any gameplay.
