every docking bay & ship hangar looks the same

Yeah FD should spend their time developing many more varieties of docking platforms instead of other content and mechanics because it would make such a difference to gameplay.

It's not lack of imagination it is a development priorty concern.

I agree that at the moment there is a lack of variation....... but imo what we have now works. As long as we get more content going forward to flesh it all out I am fine with that.

if in 12 months time we STILL only have essentially 2 designs I wont lie, I will be a little disappointed. fingers crossed manufacture factories, giant refineries, farming stations, pirate bases hidden in asteroids etc will be coming "soon"

sorry, I'll use my imagination more.
 
I have also noticed that the black of space looks the same. The number 1 always looks like a number 1.

What is a bit ironic is that they used procedural tech in order to get more content and variety in the game than you could by relying on a person to pre-make the stations, but as a result we got only one layout. It may be procedural but currently it only has one iteration.

In all seriousness I hope it's just a case that they never got time to finish it and it's still work in progress.
 
I always look at it like they are mass produced flat pack stations... Think Ikea in outta space..
Thats fair enough, probably how most things would get built.
But the same typeface?, the same colour scheme?, the same sounds? etc.
Would have taken a few hours to code, and would have added a lot to the game. Priorities eh?
 
I'd love to see some of the outposts have really scuzzy platforms - hydraulic hoses running around, maybe a few patches on the deck, steam coming out of a cracked pipe, welding equipment laying around the floor, maybe an oil leak from one of the hydraulic rams that lifts the platform etc. Firstly this would make me feel more at home, as it's pretty much what greets me when I walk into my garage, but also it would make a nice change from the immaculate sterile white of the high tech showpiece stations, which always remind me of an Audi showroom.
 
Given that there are already a multitude of outpost designs in the game I am confident that we will see some variation....eventually.
