Hi Writers, Has CIG ever considered adding an Intergalactic Red Cross to the Star Citizen Lore and ultimately the PU (NPC-driven agency), which would generate humanitarian and disaster relief missions throughout the 'Verse including SAR, medical assistance, and evacuations?asked by Nostromo1977
TL;DRA humanitarian aid agency is in the back of their minds and fits the lore, and search-and-rescue and relief gameplay is something they would like to incorporate and hope to explore.
Yeah. There was a lore post which recently touched upon this briefly about a non-governmental agency going to provide aid for the Fora system. So yeah, it's definitely something that's in the back of our mind and it's something that excites us - to be able to have that be an element of the game too. So, not everything needs to be government-driven and not everything needs to be simple - hunt bad guy, bring bad guy back. It is a bigger universe. There are bigger problems and other questions out there. So, being able to do humanitarian aid, medical relief, stuff like that to the various systems is something that we would definitely like to make sure we incorporate going forward.
Yeah, that famine post was a great example and there is also the Charon III civil war we talked a little bit about like... ships trying to run the blockade there so... I think the idea of players being able to help people in a positive way is really kind of fun and refreshing and let's them feel more noble and it isn't, like you say, about killing the bad guy. And then, even on a smaller more personal level, we're going to have people that get their ships blown up and are sitting there in little escape pods that need to be picked up in those search and rescue operations - going around and helping your fellow player out and bringing them back in. That, I think, could make some really strong connections between players floating in this big dark scary universe, so that will be really nice. So, it's something we'll hopefully explore more as we go forward and it's a really interesting part of the 'verse for us.
