Are abandoned or derelict distribution centers planned?
TL;DRAbandoned or derelict distribution centers are not planned at the moment, but the speakers see no reason they couldn't come in the future and would be surprised if it never happens.
Not at the moment, but I think going on the fact that there are rundown or abandoned versions of other locations, there's no reason why we couldn't have versions of the DCs which were in the same category. And then you could have DCs in pirate systems like Pyro, for example, where they are kind of up for, maybe it's a bit of a capture-the-flag type episode on it, but with players. That would be quite cool to have. Who owns this distribution center? Does it change hands a lot? Are you then competing with more established factions in the game? That would be pretty great. But yeah, right now we haven't got plans to do that, but I don't see why we shouldn't do that in the future.
I mean, you're right. We do make abandoned or derelict versions of everything else. These brand new things look cool and then you rough them up and you mess them up and they just seem that much more real. So I would be very surprised if the call isn't made at some point.
Yeah, I think in the first release of anything, thinking about Pyro right now, you need an occupied version. And then when you have that, it's kind of like you've done all the setup already. You're just making new overlays, which then dress it in a certain way. So the hardest part is the initial release. But then after that, it's still work to get these things done, but it's not, I suppose, as much work, hopefully. I don't know.
I've seen that when they were making the derelict ships, it's a lot of work to break them up in a way that's not just crap.
Yeah, I suppose with ships though, it's different because the ship is formed and they have to unform it. Whereas with us, our base rooms already exist. It's just new dressing on top of them.
