Question about Odyssey Megaship Interior (Update 8)

Hi,

I just saw that in update 8 they plan to add megaship interiors.
My question is simple: does it also include genration ships? Going inside Thetis would be very interesting.

Thx in advance.

The concourses are for the type of megaships that already have landing pads.

I believe they're called Flight Operations-type megaships.

Generation ships, bulk haulers, dregers, etc. don't have landing pads, and would require considerable redesigns to accommodate them.

The idea of things like generation ships and dredgers having standardised concourses occupied by galaxy-wide service companies doesn't really fit with their backstory, and anything else (like exploring abandoned generation ships, communing with uncontacted dredger tribes...) would be a whole new layer of exploration, assets, environments, and game mechanics that they're just not gonna plop into a random update of fixes, polish, and small additions.

Ergo, it's just the ones with landing pads.
 
Personally I doubt it. So far we have been shown a variation on the station con courses, I wouldn’t expect any more than that.

This.

I mean, we can only guess what FDev do have planned but it seems likely that they're just talking about the landable megaships that we see dotted around; such as the Gnosis.

On that note, it'd be nice if the Gnosis got a slightly unique interior, reflecting it's unique status within ED.
Maybe all the crew could be wearing lab-coats or something?
 
They don't have hyperspace capability so their design both internal and external will be determined by the propulsion systems available at the time of manufacture. So maybe similar, maybe not, but internally hugely different as they had to carry fuel and food for...as the name implies, generations.

I've never seen one until someone above post an imagine.

You owe it to yourself to go check them out, they are definitely one of the best things about ED. They each have a unique backstory and it’s nicely fleshed out with audio logs. Some of them are quite creepy.

No.

Just megaships you can dock at and use services like a station.

Because it's just a station interior re skin.

Don't need a docking pad when you have a crash docking system, or you can EVA over and cut through any number of panels.

But yes.... FD take their time making actual new stuff. They did the settlements, that's our lot for now. (Though if they just re used most of the settlement interiors for up to date megaships you can board, that'd be something)
