You are the first one of knowledgeable people to say that. Interesting. Could you be more specific about what exactly and how?
ship interiors - will they happen
- Thread starter Woakes
- Start date
And it's not the interior assets, it's the rewrite of the logic and structure of how the game systems work.
Ok, moving on then
I think that would actually be great because that would be a downside of owning a big ship. There's a reason you don't see WW2 movies with pilots scrambling to get into their B52 bombers to respond to an attack. But then we would need a game where that was actually relevant and apparently war is just about endless conflicts in random spots in space that make no sense in 3300."I'm under attack and I want to get away and it's taking me 30 seconds to run to the top of my Anaconda because it's now 1:1 scale of my ship and I need to run through ever door"
I said "arguing and trying to prove that ship interiors is not very popular and not one of the most wanted"
There was the "the 21k poll is just one poll and don't mean much and do not represent the majority and is biased anyway"
Then "the forum/reddit/youtube do not represent every single players therefore it doesn't mean much"
yada yada yada
I'm tired, won't show the data again and won't go back pages ago to quote every single person but yes it has been disputed.

Based on the fact that it's not representative. That in itself makes it a bad platform for fdev to listen to their playerbase (which it does not represent).
Whatever you say.
But did they respond to that or did you just not want to read it?
Your argument, excuse me, makes no sense. How do you compare the list you show, which, when added together, doesn't even represent 10% of boat interior posts, with the smallest page count you can find? You yourself, with this proof, are proving that boat interiors are the most requested feature of all.
Everyone agrees that ship interiors are a popular feature request.
Everyone agrees that ship interiors are one of the most popular feature requests.
I really can't simplify the language any further.
That is a different issue. I don't know how else to simplify this. Maybe colors will work?
- Ship interiors are a popular feature request (everyone agrees)
- Ship interiors are one of the most popular feature requests (everyone agrees)
- YouTube poll is representative of the whole community (everyone does not agree)
- Support for the feature has more weight due to posts on Reddit/YouTube/Forums (everyone does not agree)
- Ship interiors are THE #1 most popular feature request (everyone does not agree)
See above.

See there you go, exactly what I was talking about.
Not everyone, like I said there were stuff pages ago, also there is an example right above you.
Again, didn't say that part.
Either way, those are the exact points you and others love to use to weirdly "dismiss" and "counter" the community significant interest for ship interiors.
yada yada yada nobody cares.
Tons of players wants ship interiors since forever, been expressed everywhere tons of time; been proved and shown a thousand times.
Everyone agrees that ship interiors are popular. You have no examples because they don't exist.
Can't see why it's not feasible to be honest.
Ships would not need a complete remake.
Frontier has not said no, Arthur said he didn't want it and said it was his own personal opinion.
Frontier also said no to walking around and we still have it.
It’s a pickle isn’t it? Frontier have said ship interiors are coming some 11 years ago and have said they’re not coming some 5 years ago, and then said they might still be coming immediately afterwards.

Fact is that the forum is the official platform for ED. Every player can join and express their opinion here. Therefore, it is representative, given the assumption that the people who do not express their opinion are happy with the game as it is and neither agree or disagree with the development of the game.Based on the fact that it's not representative. That in itself makes it a bad platform for fdev to listen to their playerbase (which it does not represent).
There are more accurate ways to evaluate the players' sentiment (such as in-game surveys) but they are not available and perhaps they do not much deviate from the forum opinions.
Bottom line is that the forum is what FDev created for the player base and why they pay a community manager. Other platforms (Steam, Reddit) are probably being monitored but FDev gets less accurate sentiment from those.
Back to topic again:
The technical feasibility of ship interiors has long been proven by the fact that they (partially) already exist! The cockpit and the SRV bay are modeled and textured and exist. Space legs, station interiors, carriers interiors exist and have game loops. Therefore the statements that full or extended ship interiors (beyond accessing the cockpit) are impossible are simply disproven by above fact.
The OP's point is: are they coming or not? And this depends if FDev makes a decision to create them based on an ROI calculation. And that calculation influences which game loops and level of detail the interiors would get.
False.
No-one said they are impossible ... other than you, just now.
And do nothing other than exist.
