Manifesto

Our Primary Goal

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

We will lobby to CIG to allow player created content in-game and allow for capturing, editing and display of original content in-game. These are a few items we would like to see in Star Citizen:

Searchable News
We would like to see a system where someone could search the news for any subject in Star Citizen, possibly through your Mobi-Glass or at a computer in your Hangar or even in your ships. Where you would see tons of content provided by players and you would be able to sort through the articles and video by “Most Popular Stories”, “Most Popular Anchor”, or “Most Viewed”, etc.

Paid UEC for Content
If someone were to watch a video or read a news story, then the game provides a small amount of UEC to the Creator.
We believe this woud create an incentive to make good video and find breaking stories that people will look for.

Immersion Builder
The top 100 most popular stories could be used as background video in a pub or shop with ads of in-game companies playing in between. (this is in-lore where the money comes to from to pay players for content). We think a system like this would really improve the immersion factor of the game for everyone playing.

FPS Reporting Mechanics
We would like to see a Camera replace the gun mechanics in FPS. This could also be a microphone or other video equipment needed for a news report.

Charter

No Profanity
All reporters and content creators will avoid using any profanity.

Don’t Break Character
All reporting and footage will remain in-game and not break immersion for other players.
