How much does the Squadron 42 campaign affect the PU? How much of it will be felt in the PU? Will there be memorials, museums? Will the Coil make its way to that?
TL;DRSquadron 42 will have an impact on the PU, such as the Coil as a location in Odin and likely memorials or rebuilding after the Vega II attack, plus personal and wider effects not detailed.
Are you building connective tissue between the two?
Well, the Coil is a thing that exists in the Odin system, so it's a locale, it's an environment, if you will.
So when you go to the Odin system in the PU, the Coil should be there?
Yeah. As we kind of did at CitizenCon a few years ago, there's the attack on Vega II. There will probably be remnants of that attack reflected: rebuilding, memorials, that type of thing.
It definitely is going to have an impact on the PU, and we have some fun ways, on a smaller personal level, of how that's going to be reflected in your travels in the PU if you finish Squadron 42 and go through the campaign, how that will change you, as well as more of these universe, empire-wide scale things: are the people in the game changed by the story in Squadron 42?
