Chris Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games are demonstrating Star Citizen at Gamescom, showing off multiple players serving as crewmembers on a single ship in the Arena Module in their upcoming space simulation. PCGamesN reports on what they saw, saying: "Players can take the controls, man turrets, and embark on space-walking missions of their own devising." They also provide a video so we can see this for ourselves, as it offers 13 minutes of gameplay footage. They also offer these quotes from project lead Chris Roberts:

"You’re not going to have 50 systems to adventure in, but I think most people are going to have a lot of fun," Roberts told PCGamesN. "I’m actually expecting people to make up their own action story arc. So what we’re planning is, we’ll just have different areas you can fly in and visit and do things in, or have some AI that will spawn."

"I was thinking of something like what we call freeflight mode," said Roberts. "And we’ll have some more team-oriented stuff where you could have a combination of the bigger multi-crew ships and the smaller [ones]. A team battle thing. It should be pretty good."
