I believe it.
I hadf a friend in my guild in GW2 buy the game, then spend $250.00 to get the best of everything, blew thru the game and quit after a few months play.
Why is ship interiors something that is not planned to be included if at least half the player base wants it?

There were no plans at launch. There are no plans now. The only thing that's changed is the phrasing.
For me, what you describe here sounds just like a game I would have no interest in playing, and would never purchase.
Was just coming to mention that, they've never said "no ship interiors ever".
IDK...I felt like the old commitment to having the ships sized and shaped to fit the various modules that could fit in to them suggested that they were, at least at one point, intended to have us explore and interact with what you've installed.
I imagine that the moves to just slapping in more module slots has killed that idea.
Wow, yeah. Imagine making a game with 36 levels? Can’t be done waste of time and resources clearly beyond the scope of Frontier’s abilities.
Also consider that there is/was a team dedicated to modeling ships. Are they gone? Couldn't they be working on interiors? Probably gone.
It would be so much more engaging to have tedious long walks to and from your ship to a station lift every time instead.
It adds so much more to the game.
Yay! More speculating!
My take:
- Too many ships
- Ships are big and mapping them completely would be an insane task.
- It takes too much time for the gameplay it would bring.
- It's plain and simply something the devs decided to not do (yet.) They create this game. It's their decision. It's on our wishlist, they know that, and done. We are not entitled to anything regarding design decisions and direction of development.
In my humble opinion, those people who cried for space legs for years now, should now just shut up and enjoy walking and stop complaining that "this isn't what we wanted", because it is.
I wanted space legs and I am enjoying it
. Need for improvement, sure, but like Horizons it will improve over time.What happened to people demanding more atmospheric planets? Wasn't it between space legs and atmospheric planets?

If it was for me, all the dev time invested in space legs would have gone into more atmospherics to give us thicker atmospheres, fluids and weather and the like.
Buuuut I cut my losses and I'm content with what I get. Walking isn't too bad either.
Also, I'd welcome ship interiors. I'd prefer those to FPS combat.

the game is the same, in a relative way but we're older...
What does it actually add? I'm not against it, but there is this concept called opportunity cost you know.
The only good reason I can think of to do ship interiors is that the work will translate over to some good salvage/ground combat for crashed ships POI. I'm not even going to entertain the possibility of boarding actions, there's like 3 or 4 different mechanics that would need to be developed just for that alone.

Even if not everyone would be interested in it, there would be a lot. And it wouldn't surprise me if those who were initially opposed to or indifferent would end up liking it.
Take ESO for example. People buy crowns (which essentially are arx) which they use to buy extra stuffs. There is a decent variety of homes you can buy using them, they are essentially useless except for the immersion of sometimes when your not out adventuring ( in this case space cmdr-ing) you go home and do trival meaningless things like look at things you've either bought (with crowns) or unlocked through some means in game.
Where would you put your trophies for whatever they will have in odyssey? Surely not in your ship with your piloting trophies, right? No, you would want your awards to decorate your personal quarters.
It's undeniable, imo . But it's not any of us that matter to convince

I'd say consistency in artistic approach shouldn't be taken as a commitment: designing a character with realistic organ placement and size in mind does not imply you'll get to wander in its bowels.
I feel like it's bad design to put much focus on anything that wouldn't be seen or used. But to be fair, I guarantee ubisoft didn't consider any of the intricacies of the human organs either but still had a (w)hole level that took place in the human bowels. I'm not even making this up. South Park: the stick of truth. Check it out
I don't even need the whole interior at this point, just let me walk around my FLIGHT DECK. That's already MODELLED, after all. Hell, I don't even need to be able to get out of my chair. Just let me move the camera from the back of the bridge AROUND the bridge instead of anchoring it back there on the floor with a terrible, useless view.

Totally agree
Wanting ship interiors for me isn't about my ship, although i'll admit it'd be nice. It's about OTHER ships, the big floating wrecks in emission sources, the ones crashed on planet surfaces.
Its going inside those....and looting them.
They're next to the team that's doing the damage models of all the ships. They're on a short break after finishing the anaconda.
