What are the chances that players will get to read log entries made by pilots who have been involved in important SC lore events?asked by AragornBH
TL;DRPlayers can expect some lore logs from famous pilots and explorers, as the "Discovered" series already shows, with more planned, though how many depends on available time and resources.
Yes basically! There already is a lore series called "Discovered", which you can find a handful already on the RSI website, that are stories of famous expeditions, famous explorers that have discovered jump points or new worlds: different things like that. So we're already starting to build a little bit of that in; we definitely have more planned.
And it could be the kind of thing that maybe you're discovering a wreck and finding that log and you're the one that gives it to the ARK to be stored there. I'd imagine that hopefully the ARK would have records of this kind, as well as the more important historical ones, which would be interesting to explore. So it will all be really just about how much time and content we can create. But it would be really fun to have.
And I know just me personally, and I know Dave and Will does this too, there's such a long history that we have here that if you are re-reading the lore and you find a moment that's really cool and you're like "oh, that would be something good to backlog for later". I definitely have a list of moments in history that we can go back to and maybe delve into further. And as Will said it just a matter of time management at this point and being able to allocate our resources to the best possible places. But it is definitely something on our mind and you can expect plenty of logs out there explaining some ...
We've floated the idea too about making some of the more important historical moments playable as well with some kind of special mission packs or something like that. So that might be really fun if we end up being able to do that.
Yeah, very cool.
