Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' (www.pcgamer.com)

Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I'm no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

That's the entire thing they're doing. The violent encounters are being planned for, obviously, but they're not a requirement.

Star Citizen's approach seems to be to add the ability to do as many things as possible while giving you the option to define how you want to interact with them. Of course, you're probably going to have to defend yourself from the stray pirate or bandit with whatever you end up doing but that's par for the course.
