[Realism] ADD crew activities in STATIONS

[sensai25]

Hi all,

I launch this thread to give you an opportunity to tell dev's what's missing in or aound stations.

For now, the game is quite good, but it could be by far enhanced !!!

1) For instance : there is a terrible lack of activities in Stations : there is no crew anywhere : helping with cargo, refueling, or juste walking around !

We could already see some trucks by here also : it looks a little bit cheap. Let me explain : there is only one kind of truck, there are driving at the exact same speed, and same distance for each other.

2) There also should be some utility ship around stations to repair, do some maintenance, and so on.

Plz Devs, keep going like that, fix bugs first but then please consider to add smore stuff around and in stations !

The loading bays are probably fully automated in 3300 like some big warehouses today. It doesn't look functionally or aestethically very convincing atm.

Then what is the purpose of all the windows on the landing towers?

I would expect to see at least one person in there, even a static model hunched over a console, keeping an eye on me and the automation. I find it creepy to be staring into an empty tower as I land.

I would hope the windows means that the added realism of people running around and performing various tasks will be implemented in the future.

I completely agree we need people, we should see cargo being unloaded NPC characters only. And given the way auto pilot work in this game automation isn't this universe strong point.

main menu also has no animations, just a photo. Looks Cheap

Here are some pictures taken from the trailer : It would be so cool if we can get that at least :

Life Outside stations with plenty of small ships


People walking in hangar


Crew around a shop in docking bay

I'd wish to see some people. There are none to be seen in the entire game - They don't have to do much meaningful things, but a bit like shown in the trailer would be great. Maybe for release on the 16th?

Definitely need some people inside the control towers. If animations for random other NPCs has to wait for the "Walking around" update in order to do it right, that is fine.

Some signs of life would be nice though, such as tiny drones inspecting container yards and containers being moved.

Some kind of work/inspection crews on the outside would be nice to see also.

Nice idea for inspection crew and or drones
