They've talked about it before. It still seems ludicrous.

All the thrills of being an ambulance chasing scumbag, in space.

...actually that does sound kind of fun.

Yeah. Apparently they want to integrate stuff for streaming or... something. I don't know.

I've never understood "Research" spaceships. It'd be like trying to cram a chem lab in the back of an 18 wheeler.

This is among the dumbest things I've heard about in a video game.

Perhaps It can be used to film evidence of piracy and griefing throughout the 'verse. Maybe they can call the news van company Video News Productions.

News Van? Really, a loving News Van? What in the goddamn gently caress is even going on with this game? Like seriously, how the gently caress are they going to jam in universe journalism gameplay into this poo poo? Seriously, how are you supposed to even play as a newsman in a star-fighter video game?

You're right. It sounds like the kind of utter dumb poo poo, that makes me want to watch the thing, just to see if it really got this stupid.

The designers just dont care how they get it to work as long as it exists. Who cares if there is no real functional purpose for the thing to exist, it sounds cool and some person is dreaming about becoming a cameraman in space and he's willing to spend mad cash for it.

Its the engineers duty to make this nightmare work. I pity every single comp eng/sci that works in CIG.
