Quote:K sai wrote:In particular, I recommend the official short story The Lost Generation - the other Star Citizen work is good, but this one was really good. It's about an archaeologist/treasure hunter on the trail of a colony ship that vanished centuries ago under AI guidance - considered one of the defining reasons why nobody trusts AI for piloting and navigation in the present day of the Star Citizen 'verse.
The quality of the canon 'Lore' is high and the presentation diverse - I haven't got to the fanfictions yet... but it's definitely worth looking at for new Sci-fi to read!
The lore entries are also fun. These include both an official writer's guide 'story bible' style of entry, and ones that are played entirely in-character, such as news stories, police dispatches, radio transcripts, and so on.
The fanfiction is a little more of a mixed bag. Some is good, some...isn't. That's probably odd of me to say, considering I wrote a lore entry that the devs spotlighted on the page and might include in the game. But let's be honest, fanfiction is fanfiction. It's always going to be mixed.
(EDIT: I realise, on reflection, that probably sounds like I'm putting down other Star Citizen fans. I'm not. I'm pretty sure they only picked my bit because I addressed something that nobody else did. I'm just pointing out most fanfiction is of dubious quality, including mine.)
