We have seen companies that specialize in making starships, ground rovers and hangars, but will there be "Retro" companies that specialize in "vintage" vehicles like prop-planes and sports cars?asked by Sidd Vicious
TL;DRRoberts says there is a large internal corporation list, including a company making hangar models, but he isn't sure about vintage-vehicle makers like prop planes or sports cars, saying only "perhaps".
Yeah, I think we have... I may be incorrect, but I'm pretty sure we have a company that makes models for your hangar. I think it's "Takansku" or whatever - I forget the name of it [Note: It's Takuetsu]. But, uhh, yeah we're definitely-... we have a huge corporation list. I mean, there's probably... we haven't probably fully shared it with you guys, but internally on our... umm... we have a piece of software called "Confluence", which is sort of a business or an enterprise version of a wiki. And we use it, we have all our sort of... well it's where we put our in-universe fiction, development stuff, design documents, technical design documents. And so we have a whole section on the various companies that are throughout the United Empire of Earth universe. So we've spec'ed out loads of them - much more than you guys have seen - and we also have a team of-... we actually have 2 graphics artists that their job is literally to come up with the logos and designs for all these companies, very much like you would on a movie (and they are actually movie graphics design guys). And it's fun, because that's part of building out the universe. I mean that's one of the biggest things that I really love about Star Citizen, is that it's a universe that is going to be real. We're fleshing out every little detail, and I can't say enough good things about the work David Haddock, and Will, and also David Ladyman, and Ben Lesnick do on building out our universe. (So and it's Will Weisbaum by the way, who's our secondary writer - so Dave and Will are the two writers. Because we also have William Lewis who's a moderator - so just not to get confused there). But yeah, we're really fleshing out a huge universe and it's fun! I mean... it's universe crafting!So, having companies that specialize in various stuff, we will always have in-fiction ones. I don't know if we have "vintage vehicles" like prop planes and sports cars, but... perhaps. I mean maybe it's the same company that's doing the models that you would have of Constellation or the Idris sitting in your hangar.
