Discovery Trailer

[Corsair]

I've been doing some thinking, and maybe, a trailer is a bit too superfluous. Too cliche. What I had in mind were several short 'skits' filmed in-game with voice overs. A few scenarios.

~The scene is a Sabre wing; one leading with two flanking it's wings through Tau 23. You can see their names- Outcasts- Red.One, Two, and Three. They charge and enter cruise as the voice of the commander says:~

Red One: This is Red Leader, leading a patrol out from Cali.

~A Camera ship records the patrol flying past, in the direction of Java.~

Red Two: Red two, here. Anyone else see that reading?
Red One: Go check it out, two, and meet up at the waypoint.

~One Sabre breaks formation~

Red Two: Hmm.. I think- AUGH! AMBUSH!

~Several IMG Eagles come out of hiding, their names generic ones- IMG-Ralph.Hondur and such~

Red One: Breaking to assist.

~Fight scene, with a mixture of Sabre-back combat and Camera ship combat~

...

The ending would be random. The Outcasts and IMG would fight a normal scuffle, and we'd write a script for the winners afterward, depending on their end numbers.

~A Large Train is cruising towards a Trade Lane in Colorado. A Guardian and Eagle pull up beside it in formation~

Guardian: Escort one in position.
Eagle: Escort two here.

~They go through the lane, and, OH NO! A break!~

Hacker: What's this? I see I've got a catch. That's some fancy goods you got there. Drop me some.

~The Train hits it's cruise engine and the escorts fly full speed at the Hacker Stiletto. The Train escapes, but the escort's dying screams are heard faintly. The Trader hides in an asteroid field. The Camera ship drifts backward to see the trader get destroyed by the Hacker.~

These kinds of short skits, in a series-form, would be able to better illustrate individual elements of discovery. We could go over unlawful lives, lawful lives, miners, traders, vigilantes, civilians, Nomads, Robots..
