Since you plan to add a comprehensive FPS element to the game, will there be missions in SC that will incorporate both ground and space objectives?asked by The Tick

Yes, that is 100% yes, that will be the case in Squadron 42 as well as in the Persistent Universe.We're definitely gonna have some fun stuff that I think would add to the level of feeling like you're in a whole, complete world, so it's not just about flying around. For instance, if you went out and you found a derelict, ancient ship floating in an asteroid field somewhere and you go and explore it, you would explore it in first person.You would dock, you would go down, and you would explore it, and hey, we may even have some alien creatures that could attack you. And we'll have other situations where perhaps you would get attacked, like you're down on a more sketchy planet, and some people try to mug you in the cargo bay when you're unloading the cargo, so you have to whip out your laser pistol and defend yourself.There will definitely be elements that will have nice, PvE elements, that will play into the first person shooter side. Which would be separate from what we would be doing for the PvP first person shooter stuff which is more like fighting with other people and boarding their ships.I think it's really gonna add to the color. I mean one of the really nice things if you saw the dogfighting videos, just the fact that you can eject out of your Hornet and you're there in zero-g and looking around in space like this is really cool.It makes it feel much more tangible, instead of the abstract, I'm always in my ship or cockpit, you sort of feel like you're a person and you can get into ships, you can get out of ships, you can travel around. We're really gonna push that, 'cause that's one of the really big goals in the game.
