In the homestead demo, we were shown a huge sandstorm moving across the planet. Will we also see other natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions?asked by Dutch Bar Citizen

So, what you saw there was an example of what we planned to do with our weather system, which is have a constantly changing weather on the planet, and the sandstorm actually travelling around and moving like a normal weather front. Whether we go into natural disasters more like on the planetary scale, it's a bit more complicated. We would like to do earthquakes and all kind of random events, but like meteor showers and stuff like this. There is room for that, we're looking into it, but when it comes to you mentioned volcanic eruptions or floods, those are a bit harder to do. I mean, we would love to do them, but there's so much tech involved in having water physics wash everything or lava start flowing through the, in most games where we see lava it's very, it's either simplistic like in, I don't know, minecraft type of game, it's nice, gameplay wise, but it's not looking to the standards of where we want Star Citizen to be. Or you have very scripted things, where it always flows exactly where it needs to flow and that's the script of the movie. So, we, if we cannot reach our standards of quality, we'll probably not go that way. We'll have to see how far we can push the tech and if we manage to get the tech then eventually yes.

--So, meteorite showers…--

That is something that I'm… in my estimations, should be doable. It's, even with the current tech we just, we don't need that much to get something like that done. Sandstorm again was an example where, yes, there was a lot of work behind it, but it's doable with current tech. When we're talking lava rivers flowing and burning stuff down, that is far outside of what we have right now as tech
