Yes it is a lot of work, so I'd like them to start on it! Interiors are just a distraction from that... And are also a lot of work!

when you jump from one system to another not when you are in supercruise in the same system. In SC this doesn't happen because ther is no jumping to another system, for the simple reason that there is only one.
I have spoken at length with my friend and we agree that if Frontier do not include this by June, we shall leave and never return.
In that case, I want My Little Donkey from Shrek. And he had better be able to talk too!I have spoken at length with my friend and we agree that if Frontier do not include this by June, we shall leave and never return.
So, you are saying there are no reasons FD shouldn't have done ship interiors by now?
Budget, plans, priorities, time - none of these are valid reasons why FD haven't done them yet? If so, by all means, get a job as a project manager and astound your bosses by delivering on things without taking any of those things into consideration.
OR are you saying instead that FD shouldn't have done other things and instead done interiors first? In which case, what do you think FD shouldn't have done?
Since they have been working on space legs now for years, and considering the content they have produced in that time, the only big item i can see on the list that could perhaps (maybe) take significant development time would be fleet carriers. Now, i guess that was a good few months of effort, maybe even a year or more, for the team working on them, it probably would be enough time for some level of ship interiors. Maybe bare bones, maybe something more fleshed out with actual gameplay and EVA and stuff.
Would you trade Fleet Carriers for such an implementation of ship interiors?
Tricky question i think, since we can't be sure what they could deliver in the same time. But i love my fleet carrier, it really changed how i play ED for the better. Maybe ship interiors would as well... i'm not sure. A lot of what people talk about in relation to gameplay features with ship interiors (beyond walking around and looking at walls) relates to multicrew. As someone who flies solo most of the time, with rare occasions of winging up and even rarer multicrew, i'm not sure how much it would change how i play the game (beyond having the option of walking around inside my ships and optionally walking through it while visiting starports).
On the balance of things, i'm glad FD spent some time during the development of Odyssey on Fleet Carriers (despite some of the issues i have with their implementation) rather than ship interiors.
And if FD add ship interiors later, that's cool. I hope they do.
i think the question should have been worded different Ant... you're almost asking children if they want ice cream and of course the answer is yes.
the whole "not at launch" means a few month later to me and leads to some form of expectation, although im starting to doubt we will even have a console version come June.
i think the question needs to be what's an acceptable timeframe, its been the most asked for feature since long before legs was even thought about.
Frontier: "We heard My Little Pony. Next race confirmed."
Oh come on @Obsidian Ant - you're better than this.
Confirmation bias doesn't help understand the value of pursuing this over other planned activity (which may contain content we may not even know about) nor does it help us understand how much value in terms of actual gameplay such an expansion would provide. We get you want it, but have the decency to ask yourself rather than cooking up an artificially skewed poll to make out you are an agent of the community.
Leveraging your subscribers to ask for something is the kind of cheap trick I would expect from less well-regarded content creators.
I still don't know how the game or the servers handle those bullet trains in New Babbage. Going so fast I can't even see what's passing me by, lol.
Especially if the metro door doesn't open when it stops at the stations, which tends to happen frequently, at least in that new city in the frozen planet... The actual cities are quite amazing though.

Makes me remember #bazmeson never answered any of my friend requests, even if I named two of my ships after him. Greener pastures they surely have found!
Make it June 2nd so that we can hold commemorative festivities on a single day each year which would greatly simplify that honourable task.
As for the poll: ask any customer whether he wants a feature and he will always say yes. And then, he/she starts to really need it and starts to complain on each and every occasion afterwards. Regardless what it is, ponies, unicorns, space-faring camels, you name it. But I'm confident that issue will go down in the waves of whine that will inevitably start tomorrow. At least, I got my CV1 right channel sound issues fixed just in time.
O7,

I got stuck on Arc corp (the ecumonopolis) for like two hours because it was just so huge, lol. Ended up on a train to the IAE expo without even realizing it. Saw an 890 jump up close when I still had an Aurora, what a sight.
The poll was not artificially skewed. It asked a simple question and within the confines of that question, was perfectly fine. The problem lies with so many other people trying to read more into that poll than there was. All it confirms is that people would indeed like to see ship interiors. If you want a more nuanced approach, then it's perfectly fine to lay down some numbers as to what the cost of the project would be, both to the customers and to the company, and then ask the people what they think about that.
Except it doesn't. Becuase context.
Hang on, I've got a broken record I'll just put on.
Ship interiors were trailed back at the KickStarter. I still want the things that were used to encourage me to hand over the cash which includes both ship interiors and atmospheric plants.

Not sure why people write interiors off completely, when we've just made the first steps towards their possibility. If FPS gameplay will be available from here on out, it's only one expansion away from happening. Sure, i would've loved if odyssey contained it, but let's be honest. Fdev likes to take things slow (usually too show, i.e. bugfixes), and tacking on interiors on the first fsp attempt would've been a major dumpster fire. Hopefully this release won't be one either...
I'd much rather have them work it out properly, than do an astronomical mateup, that would decapitate the game. Until then, I'll be happy to mercenary shenanigans, until interiors are teased. At least it gives me something to look forward to.
