Do you plan to have more bland NPC-only ships in the 'verse that only NPCs will fly around?asked by Ruby Rod
TL;DRYes in spirit: they already have bland, common ships like the Hull series, and concept sales let them make such ships to fill out the universe even at a small loss.
Well, this is probably not something we should say, but we already have some pretty bland ships. Stuff like the Hull series. The Hull series is very much designed to be the ship out there. Go out driving and try to count how many white box trucks you see. And I remember figuring this out after the, remember there was a sniper in Washington, D.C. that was just killing random people, and then the rumor came out that they were driving around in a box truck, and suddenly everywhere you realize that one out of every five things is a box truck. So that's the idea behind stuff like the Hull. It's super bland in that sense. Which again is another thing that's great that the more concept sales let us do: make ships that wouldn't have gotten us our goal originally, but we can lose a little money on them now that we have some to spare, and fill out the universe.
