You mentioned R&D, and that's important because there's nothing in Star Citizen now like that. Is there anything in Star Citizen [like a space whale]?

No, and that's why I put the R&D phase within there. There's nothing like it at all. The closest thing would be a shopkeeper, actually. In terms of the technical implementation, it's easily the closest. It's the shopkeeper. It's in the PU. It's seen in multiplayer. It's all synced. It does AI. It animates. And it deforms. So, I mean, it's very much the same. You heard it here: space whale shopkeeper. Pretty much the same.
