Chris talked about a potential future where players could rent or own buildings for player housing or even org housing. Would we consider allowing owners to visibly change the exteriors of their buildings, maybe even add a giant hologram of their org logo? Or what about interior customizations?
TL;DRNic Etheridge likes the idea and says org-owned buildings with player-placed persistent objects could work like habs, but he is unsure when it would happen.
I really like that question actually. I see it as the same idea behind habs. We're getting the very early first instance of persistent habs now, so you can take an object and put it in your hab and it will stay in your own hab. Like a turtle. So I see these as the same kind of thing. So there's no reason why we couldn't do things like org-owned buildings with objects that the players can place, and they would stay there. So I'm not sure when we would be doing this, but it's definitely something we'd want to do, because we want it to be more, like with the habs, more customizable, and people to make it their own home and it not look like everyone else's. So you can go into someone's hab or you go into someone's building and it's like, oh, where'd you find that thing? Where'd you get that turtle from? So yeah, I think that's a really cool idea.
