Once the game is launched and our hangars are integrated into the universe, will we be able to choose their location, or perhaps choose from a list of provided locations, or will their location be chosen at random?asked by Mufasa75
TL;DRPlayers will probably get some choice of hangar location among several starting places, possibly tied to Squadron 42 choices or mixed with randomness, but this is still being worked out.
So on the hangar front, I think we're going to let the player potentially choose some of the options. We're still also figuring that out. There definitely will be more than one place that will let players start in the universe, because we can't have everyone start on the same planet. So we were sort of thinking if you go through Squadron 42 and you muster out, you may have a choice of some different places. Maybe that has something tied into what you do in the single player campaign. If you choose not to play Squadron 42, then maybe some of the places or choices you would start would be different. So we haven't fully decided whether it's a combination of some randomness and some choice. That may be one way to do it. But we'll definitely spread the player base out as far as sort of home planets. And I guess what we would focus on is the home planet that you would choose as the base would sort of be good for the kind of thing you want to do. So if you want to be a pirate, probably you don't want a home base like Earth. You probably want to be somewhere else. But we're still working that aspect out.
