There's no transporters in Elite lore, so actually, it's the stairs and that blue ring fooling us to be a transporter is actually very gamey and unimmersive.
I need to use the stairs to get into the cockpit of my ship

How about the backdoor lifts(?)
Definitely!
Further evidence that FDev never really intended to include ship interiors is the scale of those stairs.
Walk up to them and you can see they are huge, only ever meant to be seen from fairly far away. o7

Fade to black will do as an incremental step towards proper interiors. It's not been contentious for all the while it was used when boarding/exiting the SRV or SLF in Horizons, for example.
I can live with it for the time being and personally I would prefer to see gas giant and ship focused developments before full interiors as I still think the physics/math precision is not where it needs to be to handle a ship moving at variable zero to multiples of speed of light speeds in all axis of movement in a 3d space and players moving millimeters in relation to all of that without error. Hence why I think the problems of falling through floors etc exist in other games that are trying to do it.

I wouldn't say that, obviously the interiors aren't modeled but that sort of thing can be accounted for in a general sense when designing a ship that could have impossible dimensions.
Though your observation of the steps hints at the general consensus of players who think that the ships were designed but then scaled up for reasons unknown, which is why some of the cockpit windows seem out of proportion too.

That's not really true though, is it?
DOA means 'Dead on arrival' and ship interiors haven't arrived.
You'd be more accurate with
"Ship Interiors - Gone, but not forgotten"
How's the wait going OP? Bored waiting for your stairs yet?
Well, my point was, by the time they arrive, the game will have died and no one will care.
Seems unlikely that FDev will develop ship interiors for a dead game.
