Do you plan on releasing weapons developed by either Xi'an, Vanduul, or Banu? Or at least weapons with their technology incorporated int our technology, similar to the Freelancer?asked by Amyoto
TL;DRYes, in the future: the first release has only human UEE weapons, but new manufacturers, including ones with alien technology influences, are something they'd love to add once lore and designs are worked out.
Yes, absolutely. In the future. For the first release it's all human, UEE weapons. As we move forward we'll begin introducing new weapon manufacturers. We want the manufacturers of the weapons to be as distinctive as the ships, both in their designs and their function. And, so as we develop out these manufacturers and we give them a wider kit of weapons - we'll get a little more background on them, some lore on them - and we'll start incorporating things, like you have with Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern, where they have elements of Xi'An technology or elements of Banu technology. So, it's just a matter of working out the lore, working out the designs both from a creative design standpoint and also a gameplay design standpoint... but once we get there, yeah! It's absolutely something we'd love to do. I mean, that's one of the fun things about MISC ships, is that they have those influences... as we'll see in the Reliant coming up.
