Having three possible stances instead of two means that the game will have a more realistic system of weapon handling, which will immediately impact gameplay.
Star Marine - and Star Citizen proper - will feature three stances. Firing while focusing on your weapon’s sights lets you target very specifically, but you lose your peripheral vision. The standard tradeoff is field of view versus weapon accuracy: firing while moving is less accurate, but you have a wider view of the battlefield. Most traditional FPS games have two aim stances: firing while you’re moving (hips) or carefully closing in on your weapon (sights). What are stances, and why do they matter? Aim stances affect how fast a fighter can bring the weapon up to look down the sight, as well as accuracy while shooting without aiming. And from there, the systems developed in the FPS will benefit every part of Star Citizen, from border gunfights in the persistent universe to the first-person combat that will occur in Squadron 42! Stances In exactly the same way that you’ve helped us perfect spaceship throttles and laser impacts, you will help us perfect how characters run and aim and even breathe. Once we premiere these systems in Star Marine, the Star Citizen community will help us balance and evolve them just as you have fighter combat in Arena Commander. Both of these systems add additional balance and tactical gameplay to Star Citizen, as well as improving the overall realism. This post describes how we will deal with aim stances and breathing during first-person shooter combat. We’ve gone back to the drawing board to look for ways not only to set Star Citizen apart, but to add more balance to gameplay. In designing and engineering Star Citizen’s FPS mode (which players will first test in Star Marine), we’ve made a conscious effort to throw out systems that have become standard in first-person shooters in favor of taking an entirely new look. To make good on that promise, the teams at Cloud Imperium and Illfonic are pushing the boundaries of a first-person shooter in Star Marine much the same way we’ve ‘built out’ space combat in Arena Commander.
You aren’t just a spaceship or a floating camera … you’re a character in a massive interactive world. We’ve called Star Citizen the ‘First Person Universe’ because we intend to create an entire world for you to interact with.
