Picking up ammo in AC from destroyed ships seems a little video-gamey. Assuming no tractor beam or cargo scoop or something, will this be limited to AC, or can we expect to see this in the Persistent Universe?
TL;DRNo, the Persistent Universe will be much more realistic, requiring you to physically refuel, rearm and grab items, while the Arena Commander pickups were just a quick way to get gameplay in and may change.
No, the Persistent Universe is going to be very different. Arena Commander is meant to be very much the sort of virtual environment you go into, and also I can't say that it's going to stay that way in Arena Commander the whole time either. It's just at the moment that was a very good way of getting some gameplay in there very quickly for everybody. But in the Persistent Universe, everything is going to be done in a sort of real way. So whether it's refueling or rearming, you have to go to a location, you have to rearm, you refuel, you have to have someone to refuel you. If you're going to pick up stuff, you have to go, you have to grab it. You don't just drive over it or fly over it. You have to stop, you're going to have to tractor it in or you have to go and grab it and so forth. So we want to have that much more real experience in the Persistent Universe.
