Sell different cockpit layouts

[Aegis55]

Hi there,

like stated above I like the idea of having buyable cockpit layouts, just like the paints, but for the inside of the ship.
I bought a few paints, but the only time you see them yourself is when you apply them.

Let us buy different cockpits for the ship and perhaps make it similiar customizeable like the paints.
Let us apply for example a pair of dice that is hanging from the top of the cockpit slowly dangling.

Just an idea, i just would tend to invest in visuals that I can see when playing the game.

And please, never sell things that make one player stronger than another, just cause he's got money.

And sorry if there is already a thread bout this, haven't found anything when searching for cockpit and shop.

I agree, they should also add bobbleheads and other cockpit decorations like lights, pictures, etc to the store.

I think they've already said they would do this once you could roam around your ship. Like leather seats, etc.

Grouped my thoughts into side and on topic, feel free to ignore where appropriate

Side topic:
To be honest I was a bit disappointed that theres no optional visual customisation for free in the game. I expected to have a colour selector for the ship and have to pay for the flame/stripes etc patterns. Instead they seem to have gone with the "Well it worked for Team Fortress.." option which yes but remember Portal 2 tried that and no one even remembers.
In some games I spend longer creating the perfect vehicle/character etc than I do playing the game (Skyrim, Spore, Saints Row..) and I feel Frontier have missed out a bit on this which for an MMO is kind of a big downer. In a way makes their galaxy a little less colourful (pun intended).

I fully support the idea of allowing people to pay extra to the developers and that but I feel they could have found a more inventive way to do this than by giving you 0 customisation options without additional payments, especially given the sales figures.

On topic:
I disagree with them selling cockpit layouts since a "better" cockpit with a better seat position, fewer bars on the canopy etc is exactly what you say they shouldn't do next.
I agree no pay to win and think Frontier agree too, although until the 1.3 update it was "trade in solo" to win but that is a different topic...
I agree on the customisation of cockpit layouts and internal objects provided its optional and not a requirement. Not everyone wants dice

I want to add that yes customisation is good But this must be tempered with what needs doing most an currently I see a lot of gameplay that needs fixing first

Its a performance thing. To many different color schemes are bad for performance mkay

Great idea, would love to have different styles for the cockpit. Especially as i find nearly all besides Imperial and CD quite lacking. Always saddens me, looking arround my Conda. 146 Million for what - stains, cables hanging from the wall. Looks more like 10'th hand.

Wah mek asking to pay? o-o

Add cockpits as additional content to secure loyal support an future expansion purchase!

Not sure about the paying for an alt dash but I for one would like to see alternates because I am totally fed up with being blinded by the woeful mirror finish the conda has it sucks big time for me.

they first need to fix the fact that stations seem to have a rather bad shake to them. If you've ever used the debug camera to pan around your ship in a station you'll know what I'm talking about. This "shaking" seems to happen to the ship too when you dock. Just one of many issues I'm sure have to be worked out before we're finally able to get up and walk around in our avatars. I'm certain it's coming though. It probably won't be until ED 2.0 though. And we're at ED 1.303

+1 great idea.

I also think cockpits should be a bit more varied for the ship types. I just bought an Eagle (first time in months) and having the same layout of the Cobra as to where the hologram screens sit doesn't make much sense because it's radically different in space than the Cobra.
