Can we expect to see cool graffiti in some of the economically depressed / crime ridden areas, maybe some nice regional differences on different planets, or inspired by the Xi'An / Vanduul?asked by Brynath

TL;DRYes, environments will reflect different cultures and frontier areas, but graffiti raises open questions, with a digital spray paint a possibility that hasn't been explored yet.

Yes. The PU team is working a lot at creating a huge mix of environments, spaces, that reflect various cultures. The distance between the culture and the widely populated system so, for example, if you're from Earth, everything around Earth will be built up and bustling, the further you get from Earth you'll start feeling a little more rough and tumble, the further you are from Earth's influence you're much more on that edge. Names of the NPC's right now that we're working with are, as boring as they are by name, 'Frontier', and it is, the types of frontier. Are you an outlaw, a pirate type person. A good description of Frontier could be Luke's home planet. Serenity could be Frontier. But it's the opposite of Star Trek, which is close-knit, the home planet which looks nice and shiny. Graffiti is really interesting. It's something we talked abou with one of the teams, that you wouldn't expect traditional graffiti, at least on a space station. SO the question becomes, if everyone has these digital components, this digital stuff, where do they get the spray paint? And then what kid is running around tagging on a space station? So we do have a case with the Nyx space station, which is a derelict asteroid space station that's been run down, it's got a feel of Akira, the question comes back to the environment, it's where do they get the spray paint. SO how we go forward is we have a digital spray paint, it's something we haven't really explored yet, so. We do know it's something that we have to do, there may be an opportunity where people can actually put their own tags in the future, so we have to solve that problem.
