Will Player organizations be able to advertise through in game newspapers or billboards? It could also help to add immersion, and make player orgs seem like a part of the PU.asked by Usuegi
TL;DRThey are looking at letting players carry clan-tag advertising panels on ships, with in-game companies possibly paying for the ad space, first for the Hull series and later expanded.
Dan Tracey: We're looking at doing the Hull series concept, and one of the setups that'll be shown will be external panels that'll be setup like billboards, with clan-tags or whatever. So one of the things we want to do in the PU is actually allow players to take on these jobs, saying "I'm travelling from Terra, to say, Stanton, and because of that time spent in space, I'll have these advertising spaces available". Some in-game organisations/companies might pay for that advertising space for that time the ship has spent in space. We're looking at doing this for the racing part of the game as well, and the paint system that we've been making right now will allow this from players. So mainly for the Hull series at the moment, but we'll expand that in future.
Yeah, you should be able to visually represent your organisation, and also get some of that sweet ad revenue as well.
