seconding dmmagic's thoughts, I listen to NPR every morning and I really enjoy your work! Thanks for everything!

How about a converter to Vic3? >:D

Are there any plans to bring ComStar in as a faction? I know at this point in the timeline the Com Guards were pretty under the radar, but they were a force to be reckoned with all their own.

Also are you looking at conflicts that took place during the 3025-3030 era or are you planning to set this storyline as separate from that? I'm thinking of the fact that the old Crescent Hawk games were a lot of Steiner-Kurita conflict (if I remember correctly), but I was reading back up on the timeframe and a large part of the 4th Succession War had to deal with the Steiner-Davion alliance (aw yeah, FedCom) attacking the Capellans.

Hi Swen/David/Jan, thanks for doing this AMA!

I honestly hadn't heard about D:OS until the kickstarter (which I supported because god damn, it looks amazing), but everything I hear about the game has a strong "It's like Ultima VII" vibe to it. Coming from someone who knows about U7 but hasn't actually played it, can you elaborate on what this means, exactly? Does the vibe come from player interactivity with NPCs, with objects? From combat? What aspects of gameplay in D:OS would you look at and say "That's an homage to U7, you can definitely see the influences from Origin in our work in this aspect"?
