Will the roofs on ArcCorp make it possible to land small ships in Area 18 and take an elevator down instead of having to go through the tram?

Andreas JohanssonLead Level Designer, Persistent Universe

Well, right now we kind of force people to land in the spaceport because we want them to go through customs and do that entire thing. We don't have the smuggling and security customs gameplay yet, but it's there. So there's a reason why we're landing in those areas at the moment. When we get those gameplay elements, then it is possible that we add additional ways into the city, both legal and illegal. But we will have to investigate that a bit further, exactly how we're going to do it, because it's not quite as easy as it sounds. Everything when it comes to design involves probably 20 more steps than what most people realize. And considerations that have to be taken, and dependencies, and the interplay between different systems, how one affects another, and how that is represented in the game world. It's not an easy answer.
