Proposal Discussion Scripted Missions?

I'm loving the game and more than likely will stick with solo play. So I was wondering if the Bulletin Board in the final release would have specific NPC characters and organisations to interact with. Right now, it seems a bit random and unconnected.

I would like to see sub-catorgies such as Criminal, Military, Police, Government, Passenger Requests, Trade Requests, etc, with some role playing elements to be able to move up the ranks and obtain more lucrative contracts with each organisation.

For example, the each system could have a criminal organisation and you are first contacted by a low-level member to trade run some illegal goods. As you complete more missions for him or her, you would come into to the contact with higher-level members with more complex missions. As you earn more money and influence you would meet the leader of the organisation and be a trusted member of the organisation. It would be nice to have these characters fleshed out and complete numerous missions with them like being a wingman for drugs runs, attacking rival organisations together, taking out a snitch or even flying the boss to an inter-system meeting with the heads of other criminal organisations.

Just a thought...
 
Yes is the probable answer.

Look in the DDF Archives for the background sim thread - IIRC they mention in there about persistent NPCs : Tier 1 are the most important and include people like the Emperor, Tier 2s are significant NPCs and will become personal to you over time, and Tier 3s are the throwaway types that you probably interact with once and not meet again.

AFAIK the NPC types has not been implemented yet.

(Oh, and welcome to the forums! :))
 
Yeah I'm looking forward to playing through a story line in the backdrop of the ED universe.

Is that kind of content going to happen?

Scripted - very unlikely.

Mission chains though generated procedurally - most likely.

(Again - check the DDF Archives for missions to get an idea of what's coming)
