Any info on the purpose of that political survey that's on the site right now?

That is entirely lore. Just bringing you into the Star Citizen world.

Talking with the writers, they do have a purpose to it. I don't know what that purpose is. I just heard them talking two days ago about what they were doing and what they were going to do with it, just not hearing enough to actually retain the details. So there is a plan, whatever that plan is. It's a writer thing. So if you see a 10 for the Writers thread on the forums, maybe throw that question in there.
