One of our dreams when planning Star Citizen was to go beyond the typical space sim experience, developer Cloud Imperium said ina post on Star Citizens official website.Weve built a lot of ships along traditional lines: fighters, bombers, battleships and carriers all have a natural (and fun!) gameplay role in a world at war. … But with the Starliner, were introducing something new: a ship that doesnt have a naturally apparent style of gameplay.<\/p>\n
The developer said it wants Star Citizen to be a living, breathing world, and civilian transports like the Genesis help realize that vision.<\/p>\n
Our job with the Starliner was to determine how passenger travel in the ‘verse would be both fun and necessary, the developer said, and then to build out a ship worthy of that system. Designers have spent a lot of time working on the realism: everything from safety features … to a plan for how to make passenger travel fun, interesting and rewarding for those who choose to fly the Genesis.<\/p>\n
Cloud Imperium goes into greater detail about the new ship in a post that focuses onthe Genesis design.<\/p>\n
The developer of Star Citizen has raised more than $84 million in crowdfunding to develop the space sim. Cloud Imperium announced earlier today that the games first-person shooter module had beendelayed indefinitely.<\/p>\n
