Exploring some ship's bridges out of my price range

[Darkfyre99]

One of the nice things about having Beta access is that you can play around with some of the ships you can't afford yet. Here are a few of my thoughts as I explored some of the bridges of the largest ships in the game so far, with the exception of the Imperial Cutter (dang it):

"Dang it! I can't get to the other side of this pillar!"

"There's a lot of wasted space on this bridge."

"Stairs down to the Commander's seat. Interesting design."

"I know this is a luxury liner, but this wasted space is sinful... is that a wet bar?"

"Star Trek called. They want their 'stand up control panels' back."

"I think I've seen this design before."

"Sweet! A coffee maker!"

"Wait a minute, did Core Dynamics simply repeat the same design on multiple... oh... right."

"Somebody didn't think this design through. The placement of things look rather... phallic to me."

"Wow! There's no doors, so you can see into the corridor beyond!"

"OK, now you're not even TRYING to be original!"

Heehe not all of us have enough time to get into the Beta - screenshots would be handy to see what you're joking about (although I can guess most of them)

haha, have just finished a VR session doing exactly this - trying some ships that I hadn't flown in VR before Only a few left to try.

"Wow! There's no doors, so you can see into the corridor beyond!"

Wait...I'm obviously not doing my "testing" properly... Just how much of the ship internals can you see? I thought they were just invisible outside of the cockpit. Whenever I've sat in the hangar and tried to look outside the cockpit all I've been able to see are things like the utility mounts floating in mid-air.

One odd thing I noticed was with the colours on the instrumentation around the throttle etc. in the Cobra MkIV - there aren't any - everything appears to be white.

I'll see if I can get some screenshots.

I was talking about the Type 9 bridge. It's the only one that doesn't have doors, so you can see parts of the corridor beyond. I tried manipulating my head position for greater range, but could' take quite get in there.
