Python now has a stairlift - SpaceLegs one (assisted) step closer perhaps?

[Iskariot]

Nice find.

Also a lift totally makes sense... really not looking to climb up the stairs of my Cutter on a 9g world

I don't think I want to walk around on one either. One misstep and you break an ankle or a leg.

Breathing might be a tad difficult as well.

 

[Tarman]

Now - I could be wrong - but isnt it more likely the addition of the 'stairlift' is because it makes sense, looks cool, and we saw a lift on the Krait commander chronicles video (albeit the rear entrance fnar) ?

Nope, it's a sign!

A sign that says "I am reading waaay moar into this bit of iterative model greebling than I should".

Hmm...

Ummm, pink turbot?

A flushed halibut?

Crimson cods
Maroon mackerels
Pink pollocks

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

And they are called SRVs

(sorry couldn't resist)

I thought exactly the same!

 

[Autoculto]

It's just those damn health and safety officers poking their noses in again.

 

[Psychomorph]

I think previously the lift was just up, now they are just showing it off.

I'd like to think that someone sent FD a demand on attorney letterhead claiming that the lifts were in violation of The Equality Act 2010 and rails had to be immediately added.

Less a theory, more a sexual fantasy. I can be odd.

nice find..

its probably for the "seamless" transition loading screen between walking outside your ship, and your cockpit.
just like the "seamless" experience between supercruise and normal space, or supercruise and planetary surface.

 

[ZeroAi]

Not sure if this is (very) new, but I have only just noticed it.

Now handicap accessible?

Really quite a good idea if you ask me.

Come to think of it, I always thought those stairs looked too steep for even the best of us!

The transition between the cockpit and SRV deployment is fast enough for me. There's a few seconds black screen which is okay. When we can walk around then I guess we'd walk from the cockpit into the hangar and get in the SRV. For people who want to get in quickly they can use the old way.

Is this a statement about Python pilots?

i mean, it will probably be like the transition into the srv
you step up from your chair, walk to that door behind you and click the "interact" button - and the next moment you see yourself driving down that lift - giving the game some time to load detail assets and blocking your from doing anthing in the meantime (just like between systems in that hyperspace tunnel, or while the SRV deploys)
