He means, do they notify the call center and tell them that they're going to be testing the myth of cars exploding when they drive off cliffs or something, so if you get a call from someone who saw a car drive off a cliff on the other side of the valley, it's probably safe to ignore because there wasn't a driver?

My new fitness goal in life is to one day be ripped enough to be worthy of posing on a Giant American Robot.

Still need a nitrogen fixer. Peas, beans, peanuts, something like that.

Are those the minimums or recommended specs?

Freelancer had something of a problem in that it's plot ended early into the game. Even if you explored all of the systems in all of the houses you were allowed free access to, about half of the map would still be unexplored, and there were still a lot of powerful ships that had to be unlocked.

Do you think Everspace could run into a similar problem, since the order of the plot is procedurally generated? Like, if a "normal" playthrough take 40 hrs. to find all of the cool stuff, do you have a way to make the plot that about that long to solve, or could we end up stumbling upon all the puzzle pieces in the first hour, and everything else is just a very extended playable epilogue?

Bonus Question: Is there a danger of running into plot points dangerously out of order? As in, dangerous encounters designed to challenge people with late-game equipment that you couldn't possibly have at that point? Like, is it possible we'll run into a late-game boss right out of the starting gate and either get wiped out every single time, have to run away from a dreadnought screaming while desperately trying to collect enough fuel to jump to the next system, or actually manage to kill him with starting gear and then have to spend the the next dozen "plot encounters" telling people, "Actually, I blew him up three systems ago." Because the first one would just suck and force you to have the world regen'ed, the third would be a little surreal (but possibly funny), and the second might be hilariously entertaining or it could just be the sucky first one with an extra serving of false hope.
