With the [Galactapedia] name similarity to Wikipedia, how much user generated content will be allowed and how much will be curated? Is there special art stuff planned, like the famous photos bits with the Xi'An scout or Retaliator photos?asked by Bjoern Schwartz
TL;DRCherie Heiberg personally wants a lot of user-generated articles and art, subject to approval, plus official company art, but stresses she hasn't confirmed this and it is her vision.
I, personally, want a lot of user-generated content once the game comes online. In my vision, users would be able to submit articles about their accomplishments in the game, or observations they've made in the game, for approval, and once they meet certain content standards, we'd be able to get them published. Mainly I'm going with this because the game is going to be so huge it'll be impossible to keep everything curated without the support of you, the subscribers and backers of Star Citizen. And about hte art question, I haven't confirmed this yet, just laying that out there, but I want official art from the inside fo the company to be in the galactapedia, like a real encyclopedia. I mean, it will be a real encyclopedia, just online. I'd also really like to accept user-submitted art. Personally, I would love to see more art of Corathol's last stand, just so you know, and I'd really also like to see images from the Orion colony before the Vanduul attacked. Just laying that ou tthere.
If there's any entrepreneurial, artistically minded backers out there, Cherie has a dream that she's looking to get fulfilled.
I have a dream!
