Adding faces/characters to local missions could really add depth


Elite Dangerous Local Contacts
[FONT=open_sansregular]Just added a few faces and given each one a basic motivation. Also a star rating for local hierachy. Our actions would change these ratings.You could then click a character and see the missions they have on offer. Black market characters would maybe offer to meet you at a certain time in space for interesting discussions.

[/FONT][FONT=open_sansregular]Trying to give the missions more meaning by having a visible impact on a local contacts reputation etc. It would be great if this opened up trades, longer well paid missions etc.

[/FONT][FONT=open_sansregular]Local contacts may start really small with really simple missions, almost like jobs, its nice to become a simple miner or SRV driver for a while and park the death ship up until all the bountys are gone!!

Very nice! i got some UI interface ideas for NPC crew management too

These are both .. very very cool.

Not that the other features aren't exciting but character creation is one of the things I'm looking forward to most from Horizons 2.1 onwards. In the 24hour livestream there was dev talk, not only of hair (!) but facial hair, scars and I believe tattoos. It's going to add a lot to the atmospherics of the game I think, and I hope we'll see both of these ideas, and more. Good stuff Cmdrs.

Looks fantastic, each face should be randomly generated so they're all different.

I hope we get this stuff with the character customization update. NPCs with faces is a big step forward to make the Elite galaxy come alive.
