Adam 'The detective' ŠtefánikAnd guys, what about proper hybrid Guardian ship? Not SLF, actual ship?
Sell your soul to Nemesis and it will provide.
Not that I would consider it a worthy tradeoff. Deals with the devil usually tend to go bad.

SakashiroFunny how ship interiors are never a problem in those games that already provide them. Space Engineers, for example.
You shouldn't have to walk through the entire ship just to get to the cockpit. A ship that has only one hatch at its tail has a design problem.
Of course it would be nice if the interiors actually contributed to gameplay. EVA tasks and missions would be cool. Leave your ship through an airlock to enter and explore wreckages in zero-G, for example. Earn credits by saving other players from a rebuy, pulling their escape pod into your ship, opening it, flying them to the nearest station. Stuff like that.
All of this and boarding other ships/defending against being boarded by other players would be fantastic. I really don't understand anyone who says "there'd be no point adding it as a feature as it wouldn't add any gameplay". The amount of stuff that ship interiors could add to the game without even having to think about it for very long really craps on the idea that it wouldn't.
And even without all that, am I the only one who wants to fly out into deep space and just walk around his ship for no reason whatsoever thinking "this shit is mine"?

Without the game loops it's just glitter. If I could believe that the gameloops were there to make it worthwhile I'd put up with having to walk my ship for the sake of boarding others, protecting my own and zero-G legs. Can you honestly say you believe those are in the roadmap, cause I can't.

But they bloody well should be.

Brian BergstromDo we think they will increase the size of the fleet carrier holds to accommodate the new ships?
Seems unlikely.

100%. Plus the argument that one would need to go through the whole ship to get to the pilot chair is a non sense, there is already a method for boarding, there is no evidence that if ship interior was added it would be deleted.
And even without all that, am I the only one who wants to fly out into deep space and just walk around his ship for no reason whatsoever thinking "this shit is mine"?
You're not. I purchased Odyssey for this reason only, being able to visit my Fleet Carrier and yet I hardly interact with my staff, even when I had a Bar Tender.

That's exactly what I an saying. And btw, ship interiors already exist and would only need to be extended for example to the Cargo Bay, if you have the curiosity to look behind the pilot seat on many medium/large ships you have crew seats and consoles, there is little work to do to allow a player to leave his/her seat and walk to another seat.

Hmm, I will think of that, huehuehehe. But Meowers probably met the Creator. Or not?
