We have already seen a hint of Galactic Gear and commercials for various ships. Will there be in-fiction TV & radio programs that keep up with the ever-changing Persistent Universe? Other games did this extremely well, helping to make the game world that much more immersive.asked by Slando Malrissian

TL;DRThey hope in-fiction shows like Empire Report will comment on live events once the Persistent Universe launches, with real personalities, but call it a monumental task with no commitment.

Yeah. We've already started kind of laying the groundwork in a lot of our dispatches and now on Around the 'Verse we have Empire Report and those are kind of dipping our toes into this idea of these ongoing fictional pieces. So, hopefully when the Persistent Universe goes live, you'll be having semi-regular Empire Reports that are commenting on what's happening in the game at that moment or Kaizens giving the latest financial update on how so-and-so company is doing really well and it's going to be a monumental task and we're going to have to really figure out, you know, how much we're going to be able to iterate and how quickly and really streamline that process... so, you know in an ideal world we can record stuff and get it in very fast. At least that's the end goal. I'm very hopeful.

Yeah. I know, again from just my brief time here, that there is a very conscious effort - especially from Dave - in making sure that the personalities behind these shows, the personalities that are leading the discussions, are more than just vehicles to get information across. He wants them to be real living, breathing people with viewpoints - with certain angles on things - and even with some long term perspectives. So, it's good to know that he's thinking about that already... that we're trying to think of these people as people that will be affecting the 'verse in many different ways going forward.When that came up... it's good to see that and to know that that's definitely something we'll be working on and digging in to.

Yeah, totally, it's just from the heart of Chris' vision of the players in Star Citizen having that impact on the universe and part of that will be seeing - hopefully - their actions influence these programs that they can watch and listen to... and then hopefully not everything will be a new show too. Hopefully we'll do some fun in-fiction fiction shows which would be kind of neat to do... laughing Finally write that noir romance mystery...
