The video discusses potential organizational changes for the 1.0 release of Star Citizen, focusing on issues such as server capabilities, player population management, and organizational assets. Suggestions include setting limits on player numbers per organization on a Shard, virtualizing org assets per Shard, and caution in introducing org treasuries to maintain balance and simplicity in gameplay.
The video discusses potential organizational changes that could be made for the 1.0 release of Star Citizen. The speaker speculates on the timeline for the release, predicting it may not happen until fall 2027 due to technical considerations like server meshing capabilities. The concept of Shard sizes and limitations due to server performance is explored, with the suggestion that different types of Shards could be used to manage player populations efficiently.
The discussion then shifts to the role of organizations in the game and the potential challenges that arise from having a large number of players in the online world. The idea of setting limits on how many players from the same organization can be on a Shard at once is proposed to prevent one org from dominating a server. The speaker acknowledges that while limits may not be popular, they are necessary for maintaining a balanced and fair gameplay environment.
Further, the video delves into the complexities of implementing org fleets and treasuries within the game. The speaker raises concerns about technical issues, such as how org fleets would function across different Shards and the potential for item duplication exploits. The idea of virtualizing org assets on a per-Shard basis is suggested as a solution to these challenges, allowing players to lend ships and hangars to their organization’s virtual persona.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of allowing ships to be shared among multiple players within an organization, while also highlighting the potential risks and complications associated with full org treasuries and assets. A cautious approach is recommended for introducing these features in the 1.0 release, with a focus on maintaining simplicity and minimizing potential drama within the player community.
