Classic! Didn't Apple just release one of those? Not sure which one now.
Some important points that aren't actually important in game but are to me....
- Thread starter Vingtetun
- Start date
Rumour has it that DB and MB have installed at least two of those products for the dev team at their desks so they don't have to stop programming for a comfort break.
Of course, the 'executive' bathrooms have all mod cons, including a soprano in the corner, Frontier branded paper and even a boost button on the bidet.

So. Some more vital questions:
Heatsinks. Some kind of material that soaks up heat and then when ejected, sends the heat with it. What are they made of? Are they heavy or toxic? What is the ejection equipment made of as it clearly must deal with heat as it ejects?
What is down that corridor to my left on the Lakon 9?
Those things that look like vents in the cockpit.... are they vents? Are they speakers? If they're speakers, where is the stereo?
My chair. The uppy downy waggly thing for height adjustments. Which side? OR on the more expensive ships, is it computer controlled?
Does my temperature increase the closer I am to a star? Does it decrease in deep space?
Where is the cupholder?
On a sidewinder, how do I get down to those steps at the front leg?
If shields intersect with another ship and I fire my guns, is it possible that the guns can fire from inside the shield and hit the hull?
If I drive into one of the capital ships when it is shielded, can I fire at the internals without hitting the shield.
Does it tickle when I'm floating free in space and I pass through a ship's shields?
Why don't I have to lower my shields to scoop?
Does the same company make all the in ship and in system computer software?
How many degrees is 100%?
Does getting hit by beam lasers heat me up as well as do damage? Now there's an idea. A "cooker" beam that doesn't do anything but fry the contents of a ship. Boil in the bag.
As I am spending extended periods of time on zero gravity, do I have the bone density of a bird with osteoporosis? What stops all my vital fluids pooling in the wrong places? Do I have to wear special socks to prevent DVT?
Are the drives radioactive? When I'm ejected, am I exposed to radiation? Should I preserve some of my swimmers at a bank somewhere in station in case I feel the need to procreate again?
Can I use the exterior of the ship to cool my beer?

Then... Exploring.
Someone heads out there ----------->
They scan everything on behalf of [insert your favourite faction here]
Said faction loads up lots of Lakon 9's with stuff to build a waypoint out of
Waypoint built, nav beacons deployed
They hire some staff
They hire some of us to mine for local resources and start churning out goods
They land on a planet, exterminate the local natives and start pillaging the natural resources
[insert the other faction here] turns up and starts a shooting war about who can place their flag in [insert local body here]
Politicians wrangle over it all
But the most important thing that I think we've all missed is..... this is a vital question, mind...... will there be Blue Slimy Frogs?

I re-watched the dev diary about shields recently. In it DB said the reason there's space between the hull and shields is to allow exactly this.

Zero G - no cup holder because there is no gravity to keep the cup in place. And anyway, with no gravity the fluid sort of - floats - out of the cup.
No, because of this:
What about Red Slimy Frogs? Is it ok if we exterminate them instead?
Tut-tut. Now you're getting political . . .
How about a magnetic cup and a straw?
I believe ain't gonna happen...no artificial gravity generators; the only gravity that we take with us is the gravity of the situation in which we get into
