Doesn't that depend on northern vs southern hemisphere? In space it would drain straight down, with the exception of on any acceleration vector in any direction.
Enough with the posts about ship interiors
- Thread starter Hooplah
- Start date
To put this debate to rest maybe FDEV should communicate with their playerbase/customers - something that every modern tech company does. They will do market research which includes looking at the industry and oh, yes, you guessed it, actually asking what their own customers would like to see in the product.
Old school runescape have this feature INSIDE the game. The devs will post a poll in the game where players go in and respond, all FDEV will need to do is implement a poll in the game (Or spread this poll into the forums, subreddit and main discords) and this poll will have a list of features such as: 1) Base building, 2) Ship interiors, 3) Fully atmospheric worlds etc and players can set their priorities there. Bish bash bosh jobs done, now we know what players want.
Of course we know the real reason that ship interiors aren't coming are the same reason that the 'atmospheric' worlds are pathetic - FDEV don't have the capability. I don't know about you, but when I heard we were getting Atmospheric worlds I expected something more than just the normal horizon's world but with a tinted skybox. There is nothing functionally different between atmospheric worlds and non-atmospheric, no difference to the flight mechanics, no burn on entry, nothing (except for 30 static plant doodads that sit there and do nothing). If I am wrong please let me know.

I think FD made a mistake when one employee recently stated the truth about ship interiors and/or enter/egress of our ships not being a thing due to lack of gameplay, or becoming boring.
That tells me FD is missing a couple of key people from their payroll.
It's not up to me, or any other customer to design engaging gameplay, I pay FD to do that.
It actually explains all the placeholders that have been around since Dec '14, and never improved.

Customers are letting Frontier know what they want.
I want ship interiors.
I want Frontier to know that. I spent money on Odyssey hoping ship interiors would be part of the package at some point. I'm deeply disappointed they wont be. I'm also super annoyed the much vaunted new ice planet tech isnt in the game, and ice planets continue to be glorified height maps like everything else. Where exactly is this new planet tech?
So yeah. I think its fair to tell a company what we want to spend our money on. if I could spend 40 dollars and get the ship interior expansion? I would do it. 60 and the ship interior expansion? Yes.
I don't want ship interiors. It was the single lamest thing about Subnautica; having to run around a base or that big sub just urgh...boring, lame, and repetative.
I honestly disagree. I loved the cyclop, and find it very fun to be able to walk around it and build stuff around.
Below zero and the seatruck is meh in comparison.
That’s cos we haven’t got Space Legs.
We’ve got Planet Legs and Station Legs.
We won’t have Space Legs until they do the remaining Legs related Major Expansion that they set out - Ship Legs.
(Terms used are paraphrased for simplicity, but should work sufficiently well for the purposes here.)
I got lost in the bloody thing all time time - just mainly used it as a mobile base and forgot it existed after a while.

A feature that doesn't get boring after a week.
It would for me, considering I don't have VR. In fact, he would get boring even fasterA feature that doesn't get boring after a week.
I'd like ship interiors though.
The main difference is that I'm aware others would enjoy that, and as such I hope they make Odyssey for VR.
I told my seven year old son, NO, you cannot have that APP.
Now, all I hear about is what he could do or how cool it would be to have that APP.
Regardless, he must learn that when someone says NO, it means NO.
If he does not learn this now, he will grow up thinking he can have his way all the time, arrogant and self-centered.
He will get over it, and one day, he will grow up having learned the meaning of responsibility and discipline.

Very touching story, but we are talking about products delivered by a company. And we pay for those products. Just like some people (weirdos IMO) asked for cherry in coca cola, some people ask for ship interiors.
And if you ask me, that's going to be better that cherry cola, no matter what.
Your analogy would be more apt if you had first told him all the great things about the app and what he'd be able to do with it and charged him for it.
Actually, he'll probably grow up with a very different view, of how you cruelly stopped him from buying an app & compensate by buying ALL the apps. And still resenting you for it.
Take it from the parent of a teenager about to enter adult years.
Not true at all. I have three son's. One grew up and became a Doctor and one a Software Development Engineer at Space-X.Actually, he'll probably grow up with a very different view, of how you cruelly stopped him from buying an app & compensate by buying ALL the apps. And still resenting you for it.

Both have repeatedly told me they are extremely thankful for my protecting them from the harm the world has to offer when I said NO to them. Although they did not fully understand at the time, they look back now and realize just how dangerous it would have been for me to have said Yes to some of the things they wanted.
I'm proud of them. Both have grown up to become responsible and caring people, just like my seven year old will. I will take that risk, but time and experience have dictated a different outcome.
What are you on about?
People are basically saying that engaging gameplay can occur in almost limitless settings and backdrops. Ship interiors would be quite an appropriate setting for to-be developed (or expanded) gameplay, this being a space ship game and all.
It's actually all the vehement opposers that seem to be arguing that "good gameplay couldn't ever occur inside space ships – no matter what type, (sub) genre or target group".
