That pic grinds my immersion to a screaming halt!The only thing we'd need to transition to planets surface on foot would be airlock / hatches, but those are a key part of the spaceship, I mean, how could we board/disembark without them? Were we welded into the hull? How would our passengers get in and out for PAX missions? We must already have access/egress routes in the ships already.
But now we've established that we won't be able to visibly interact with storage modules for suits/equipment, let me ask another question, where are all our holome (personal livery) clothes stored? Presumably in ship storage. But plausibility is slightly stretched when you consider this question, when they jump into an SRV, or back into the ship, where does the CMDR store those big fracking guns? I mean in this image...
...the gun looks almost as big as the CMDR carrying it. Similarly, that backpack with the jumpjets doesn't look like it would fit in the lumbar region of a pilots seat, so where does it go? But this could be explained by "CMDR's grab or stow this stuff on their way through the ships airlock".
But if you look at most first person games, the typical player inventory would need a truck to carry it all, I know for a fact my Cyberpunk character is carrying enough guns to conquer a small Caribbean country. And when I end up with too much inventory in CP2077 I disassemble weapons to components whose existence doesn't eat into my inventory weight allowance, but often times I go to the gun dealers I "craft" ten or more 8.3lb sniper rifles to sell, made out of the ephemeral weightless "components".
The gist of what I'm saying is that we are going to have to accept a certain amount of handwavium with regards to player inventory / equipment storage, in much the same way as gamers have been doing for three decades now.
On ships tho, All the more reason to add interiors! F GRAVITY in those situations. I love handwavium. I been trying to find some on Amazon...
