Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Update 3 | Now Live!

@Phil W I have a question about the planned cosmetics for stations, I know we just got paint jobs, but is there a plan to release the interior layouts as something to buy? Kind of like how Fleet Carriers have different layouts you can buy. I would like to be able to set my station interior to something like this one (once I build the station that is.).

I know for NPC stations, economy effects the station interior, does that apply to player built ones as well? If so, and if there a plan to sell the station interiors for ARX, I'm assuming we will be able to override whatever the BGS has put there?

I know that I will be planning to get a paintjob (once one that has the colors I'm looking for comes out.) But I'd love to also customize the inside, since I and my group see the inside more often. Plus I want visitors to get a nice bit of green to see, since space in ED has very little of it. Except Thargoid green that is. :p

I don't think an Industrial system would look right with palm trees and leisure parks everywhere... nor a tourism station with loads of smelting going on?
 
With the % of icy body vastly outnumber all other type combined, ED gonna enter the new Industrial revolution since anything build on/orbit icy all become industrial.

Any system without HMC//RMC gonna either worthless or extremely hard to expand

That interior is based on a tourism economy. I'm pretty sure that particular tourism station is the lowest population version. I live in the Colonia region, in the Benzaiten system. All my ships are at a station just like that (the only one like it in all of Colonia, actually). So, it stands to reason, using the new colonization templates, you should be able to get that by default if you build the right station in the right system with the right planet you're orbiting. But it would make no sense to "buy an interior" for tourism when your station is actually a manufacturing economy.
 
Replaced Escape Pods as ethos activities for Powers that used them.
  • Arissa Lavigny-Duval
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Sell commodities for large profit
  • Aisling Duval:
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Transfer "Employee Data" & "Political Data"
    • Reinforcement: Collect Escape Pods → Reboot mission completion
    • Undermining: Collect Escape Pods → Hand in salvage
  • Edmund Mahon
    • Undermining: Collect Escape Pods → Hand in salvage

What does that mean? I don't understand. Escape pods no longer viable and replaced with other activities? What's salvage?

Ok so my first question is, Does the station interior get effected by the economy for player built stations, as it does for NPC built stations? Cuz I think I have a tourism planet in my system I could potentially use. However, I don't want to go that route if there are plans to sell station interiors anyway. I'd rather build it around the "pretty" planet in my system and override the interior with an arx purchase later.
 
We don't have any plans at the moment to allow you to buy and change station interiors, however I have fed back that players would like to have them.
ok thanks for the quick response. I hope they DO plan it eventually because that would be cool. I don't see the "Tourism" interior alot and I know it makes for great beauty shots for coming into the station, and would make a great welcome center look for the central "crown jewel" station for systems.

It kind of reminds me of how the interior of Babylon 5 or The Citadel from Mass Effect looks. It has that gorgeous, elegance to it that I'd love to see more of.
