So we know there will be some kind of organic questing system for UEE worlds and systems, but my question is will there be something similar for pirates, smugglers, or anyone else living outside of UEE law and questing for other reasons than to balance a system's resources?Or will it end up being completely free-form and we have to choose targets ourselves in a less structured way?asked by SeusMachinaEx

I think even in the pirate/smuggler aspect, we model in the economy and in the universe not just the legitimate UEE stuff, but also the illegitimate. What the pirates are doing, what the smugglers are doing, and so there will definitely be missions available generated by that system what players could take, "I need you to smuggle narcotics from this planet over here into Terra" or whatever.You'll be able to, if you want to think about it as questing, the same "questing" system will exist, but just for the flip side for pirates and smugglers and everything else, as well as players themselves doing their own adhoc stuff I think would work.So I guess the answer would be yes.
