Will you be doing any horror type of stories? There have been some awesome stories that could be stashed away for the explorers in the deep, dark parts of the Star Citizen universe. Movies like Alien, Pandorum, Event Horizon and Pitch Black. Stories like this help reinforce the vastness of space and just how fragile the players are.asked by Voidhunter

TL;DRYes, horror-style encounters are planned, such as derelict ships with hostile organisms or alien wildlife on planets, to add atmosphere and texture.

Absolutely. So, one of the big goals ... we're building a big universe but it's not a universe that's going to have four hundred billion star systems but it's going to have quite a lot of locations like an insane level of detail where you can get down and sort of feel the location you're on or the ship or everything. One of the big things we obviously want to do is derelicts, so derelicts are kind of cool, they're definitely easy encounters to do and yeah, you absolutely should come across that derelict ship and there's some alien like organism. Or creature on it that could attack you or later on when we get space to planet stuff working, you can land down in an area or maybe you've got that Pitch Black scenario where you get attacked by some kind of alien wildlife or animal or something like that. We are definitely going to build some kind of derelict haunted house kind of stuff to put in there with other encounters, more so traditional encounters you can have so that can be a risk.You can go look and explore and salvage this derelict but maybe when you're in there you get attacked by ... I'm not saying Facehugger but the equivalent jumping down from the ceiling or there could be pirates aboard it or there could be nothing aboard it. So, I think we're definitely going to do that, try to have some to give some atmosphere as you can sort of see what we do with Star Citizen, we're really trying to give it texture and atmosphere and make the world feel real. We can definitely do that because we're in this FPS first person engine that we also fly vehicles and do all sorts of stuff so the possibilities are ripe.
