I love the News Casting, Just like watching live news. I would like to know, if lets say planet Zion, the Governor Hoover Heever, has been kidnapped, leaving an uproar in the community. Now, if someone is flying next to the planet when it flashes on their screen in the cockpit, can they fly there, and attempt to try to help, and see the mess going on, or is it more like ok it happen, skip the drama, now you see the economical results etc.asked by Knight2631

TL;DRBreaking news will hopefully point players to locations with jobs, NPCs and opportunities, but it probably won't be a world-shaking event to rush to, and everything remains in development.

Breaking news reports will definitely have elements in the game that you will be able to go respond to. It probably won't be massive world breaking where something happens and you all need to rush there but it may open the door for an opportunity to go to a specific location and see what's going like meet people on the street, pick up bits of information that could help lead you to other missions that are involved with that.You need to remember that once news breaks on a universal wide scale that it's already probably happened and there's always a few things that have happened in-between so it may not mean you will be able to go there and always see craziness happening right then and there but there definitely will hopefully be a way to direct you towards locations where there might be jobs, opportunities, NPCS, or other elements of the game like that that you can go and interact with and hopefully create your own story from.

Yeah hats off to Serkis and Sandi for bringing the Empire Report to life it's been a lot of fun having them as part of the AtV i've been really enjoying watching them and helping to create them, so we'd definitely like to continue that into the game and we didn't do the little asterisk earlier but everything we say now is still in development and should be taken with a grain of salt.The more procedural stuff most likely won't tie into news events but if we have a big planned event rather than just relying on mission boards or the normal job givers who really need to learn of a major outbreak of a Vanduul attack or something like that on a large scale through hearing it on the news that cues players to this is a location that something is happening on and it can be a starting point for a lot of other side missions that could be interesting.
