The Murray Cup Racing demo at Gamescom showed us flying structures and holograms that were used to indicate the course of the race track. Will it be possible for players to rent or buy these devices later in the Persistent Universe to build own temporary racing tracks through asteroid fields, for example?asked by Tabascoid
I don't know... that's a pretty good question. I don't think we were really planning on that. You know, "to rent of buy these devices for the Persistent Universe," I think we would probably have most of the racetracks be sort of preset and predetermined in the universe. I could see, with the systems we have, we could probably have the little holo-projectors and you could EVA and place them around an environment, but the problem is that wouldn't really have persistence the way that a proper racetrack would, because you'd be in an instance and as soon as you left it, it wouldn't happen. So even if we did that, it probably wouldn't have the sort of permanency that the racetracks have.
