While planet side aspects are down the road still, I was wondering about infamous "monsters" of the galaxy. Star Wars has the Rancor, the Wampa, and the Krayt Dragon.Will we be seeing similar monsters on SC worlds?Also, while I have the utmost respect for the law at all times, could a person of lesser moral standard organize hunts of outlawed species?asked by Knite
TL;DRSpace monsters are definitely planned, along with PvE encounters like creatures in wrecks or on landable places, though not necessarily at launch; he doesn't know about hunting outlawed species.
I don't know about hunts of outlawed species, but we're definitely gonna have some space monsters. This sort of goes to what I was saying we're gonna try to have some PvE combat encounters that go beyond just flying your spaceship.Like if you come across a space wreck and are exploring it, maybe there's some NPC pirate, AI pirates that are there who are trying to jump you and jack your ship, or perhaps there's some alien creature scurrying around the ceiling.So we're gonna try and do that, we're gonna have some places you can land and do some exploring, and maybe there's some monsters and creatures down there.We want to add a lot of color to the persistent world that way, and that's the kind of stuff we can now do, because we've obviously had a lot more funding than we thought we would originally.So that's in the list, I'm not saying that's day 1, but that's definitely all stuff that we're planning on doing content wise, and really embracing the fact that we have a very powerful first person engine.We want to use it for more than just going into bars and talking to people and going into shops and buying or selling stuff.
