'inclined elevator' would be a better term. inclinator is a merge of incline and elevator possibly originated in some dumb industrial marketing paper and is just semantical nonsense.
I've always thought it was a stair... it's a lift instead! (Krait)

I highly envy your view - VR I take it? This is what I'm looking for in 'space legs'. At the very least, I wish Frontier would unlock the camera so we 2D peasants could look up under our ships like this...
As for the lift, who wants to climb stairs when parked on a 5G world? LOL
EDIT - I just noticed your SRV tire. How are you "zooming in" on your front landing gear like this? Is it using camera mode inside SRV and zooming past your head? I'm going to have to do some experimenting in my Cobra (which has a similar front lift / stairway).

I remember the Adder originally lowered an access bridge for personnel when landed.
I guess the SRV design was not finalised at the start of ED.
I just took this image of my Cobra:
It appears these are the old-fashioned stairs. Are the lifts something that's new in Q4 (seen in the beta)?
Yes it's in VR. In VR you can get up and gp around, you can also get off the SRV and walk around it if your room is big enough.
FD should definitely unlock the a free mode in the cockpit.
I just noticed all these things around the seats inside:
Thrusters for EVA in our chairs - like in X4?

It has and always has been a mix of the two. Nothing's changed. Krait had a lift from Day One.
They could leave a small number of ships unchanged until the Legs Beta, just to provide plausible deniability.
I noticed that even on PS4 the "close up" textures seem to have been nerfed since the original launch version...
Probably means all ships that have stairs. I checked my Cutter and it does not have one. None on an Orca but reminds me of the Star Trek:TOS Galileo shuttlecraft door. I wonder if it will open in a cool way (someday).
Anyone considering redoing their transportation Elite Dangerous style?
Regards

That would be pretty damn cool if we could EVA.

Perhaps all the detail was slowing the game. Maybe we have to wait for the 128 bit version [woah]

Take a closer look at OP's screenshot. It has dumped down visuals, there is no AF at all nor a proper AA. Probably to keep FPS fluid in OP's VR set. It looks way better on my 32" monitor.
repped for use of the word 'concomitant'
for some reason reminds me of [video=youtube;0u7sa6WFhxg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u7sa6WFhxg[/video]
You forget how enormous that thing is. I'd expect it to lower like a drawbridge, so the passengers can enter and leave like on a cruise ship.
