Video: You can walk on billions of planets!
Us: Yeah cool but can I walk around my ship?
:rolleyes: 😂
Well to be far, once you've seen one planet, you've seen them all. but the interiors would all be hand-crafted and unique as opposed to the masses of computer generated dust and ice wastes.
 
Of course that title describes features (not) coming with Odyssey DLC, I'm not a prophet to see beyond that. Maybe next expansion down the line will bring full ship interiors, I don't know. But the fact that nothing will change IN THAT REGARD in the foreseeable future is my original point.

You should read his comments prior to mine and discover that I've been responding in the same manner as he was. But I guess you choose what you want to see and respond selectively. Bottom line is, no matter what you think it's true, the facts, or lack of facts, don't support your opinion.


I didn't give an opinion you rusty, smelly pebble! I said I don't know, it's explicitly written using words.

To reiterate - I said I don't know if there will be walking in ships or not!? I also sarcastically said that we'd have elephant walking on the surface of stars! Do you think I believe that?!

Your original point said it "won't happen", not that it won't ever - so you have contradicted yourself again buddy!?

And for any that didn't see the original thread title - you had it moderated to add the word speculation - completely proving the points that people are telling you - your thread is opinionated speculation!

Even though it was moderated for you, you'll next claim you asked for it to be done! This is what I mean about you flip-flopping around, and changing your mind all the time, after each person points out the flaws in your arguments!

C'mon man, this is stupid to keep trying to be 'right' when you know what you wrote was bullhonkey. Just let it go, and stop fighting!

Which incidentally is what I hope to do now, as I only have so much patience with muppets. Hopefully you won't drag me back in to this car crash, but I noticed you have started another that may turn out the same...I hope not, it's just irritating people when there is no need to make up wild speculation all the time.

Thanks for confirming.

There you go, you confirmed that the mods changed the title by adding the word speculation. You can't change that one now.... thankfully!



Chill out buddy, sometimes in life you are just wrong. It happens to everyone. You get more respect by not digging a bigger hole for yourself.
Cheers :)
 
Then you have an option, it could be in the UI, or a ship option like requesting docking, that transports you, Star Trek style, onto the planet surface.
If you don't want to teleport, you can walk through the ship if you choose to.
This would prolly be the best solution.
Won't be holding my breath though, as it probably is the easiest and cheapest alternative to simply dump the ship interiors.
 
I am never wrong!

Just sometimes the facts do not agree entirely with my version....

Ah-ha! You have brought out the oft-forgotten defence, known by only half the population, but only used in extreme cases - the "The Wife" defence. It's a very powerful legal argument so I'm told...! ;)



(For removal of doubt, it goes both ways, but has a gender bias name. Eat that one pc police!)
 
I agree, no 'confirmation' here...but...

You'd think they'd had shown an actual slip of 'stepping off the ship onto an alien planet' given the emphasis on that particular language. They had the Krait gangway in a shot...but no actual footage of how it will work.

Still expecting "fade to black" and then poof Yer on teh surfis!
Very underwhelming.
Totally expected.
 
On the flip side, I do think ship interiors are coming - we've had ample evidence of intent to produce it. The question, as always, is when.

One would think Odyssey is the logical launch point, but I'd be very surprised if they did it - mostly because my faith in FDev execution is that low. It makes sense it would come out, FDev rarely makes sense, therefore it won't be there at launch or any time soon.

We're years down the road and there is still ONE (1) SRV.
We're years down the road and there is still ONE (1) Type of NPC Crew (that actually does something, FCs are a joke).
We're years down the road and there is still ONE (1) Ship with a damage model (Anaconda) in a game with combat being its literal poster child and name-sake rank.

FDev and common sense just don't play nice. Since FDev owns the game - not common sense - we see how this plays itself out. Repeatedly.

Really, really, really want ship interiors for all sorts of gameplay and RP reasons and dammit it's a game about owning and flying spaceships I WANT TO SEE INSIDE OF IT...

Deep Breath

Just, please. No fade to black and then suddenly I hear myself breathing oxygen.
So anticlimactic.
 
Your original point said it "won't happen", not that it won't ever - so you have contradicted yourself again buddy!?
You really have a pretty low concentration span, don't you? I stand by what I said in the original post and have never said anything else. Maybe you should look up the dictionary for the word "contradiction".

And for any that didn't see the original thread title - you had it moderated to add the word speculation - completely proving the points that people are telling you - your thread is opinionated speculation!

Even though it was moderated for you, you'll next claim you asked for it to be done! This is what I mean about you flip-flopping around, and changing your mind all the time, after each person points out the flaws in your arguments!
I'm not changing my mind at all so you must be either delusional or a troll: I have a very low opinion of both.

C'mon man, this is stupid to keep trying to be 'right' when you know what you wrote was bullhonkey. Just let it go, and stop fighting!
If what I wrote in the original post turns out to be false, I'll happily admit I was wrong because we ALL will get one interesting feature for EVERYONE to enjoy.

There you go, you confirmed that the mods changed the title by adding the word speculation. You can't change that one now.... thankfully!
I did not confirm or deny anything, I just stated the fact: mod changed the title of the thread. I mean, what's your point?

Chill out buddy, sometimes in life you are just wrong. It happens to everyone. You get more respect by not digging a bigger hole for yourself.
Cheers :)
I see... You are one of those.
 
I can anticipate if walking on ships is confirmed the price on coffee will surpass tritium easily

@about this feature: i want to set my SSA on and go have a peaceful walk around the ship and them BAM - EMERGENCY DROP: TOO CLOSE TO AN EZ GOD DAMN IT. That's not negotiable
 
Well if I remember correctly walking around inside our spaceships is actually something that David Braben mentioned in an early kickstarter interview video a long time ago. I think we can be certain that it is still a 'possibility'. But I would hazard a guess that it is highly unlikely, unless the devs can come up with significant gameplay to go with it, which I doubt they ever will. I stand by the opinion of the OP that we will not be getting this feature, simply because I can't see any gameplay reason for the devs to spend years of design work painstakingly modelling the interiors of every single ship, some of which are the size of aircraft carriers for something that people will get bored of after a few hours. I know, some of you want it. Some of you REALLY want it. But you will get bored of it pretty soon, and most people just don't know whats good for them, they can't look into the future and visualise how it would actually be. How the experience will soon become tiresome and pointless.

The devs will still say that it's a possibility, because they want to sell the game DLC, and given how many people want this thing, the possibility of them getting it will help sell Oddessy, so they will never say never. But I seriously doubt we will get walking around inside ships and stations, simply because there is little to no gameplay to add with such a feature.

People need to think rationally, and be more realistic. It's the same with VR, where Obsidian Ant made a video a few days ago explaining how much work it would take to make a decent VR FPS that doesn't make people want to vomit. Maybe if that was the whole game it could be a thing, but we are talking about a game that already exists and these are only modules added every few years to an existing game that is still a commercial endeavour that can't lose money by spending exessive time and resources on things that are just not going to work.

Observe Star Citizen and it's development. Try to learn something from what you see there.

And think about it this way. I've seen and heard a lot about the new MSFS, where the devs seems to have spent many years developing a scale model of the whole, or at least most of the whole planet Earth. Do you want to be able to not just see you own house but walk around inside it? Imagine how cool it would be to walk into a virtual representation of your own kitchen and make a virtual cup of tea? I know, this sounds so cool. But where is the gameplay? And after you've done it once, how often are you going to want to repeat that action? An action with no consequences?

I really hope the devs are spending their time getting the planet environments right, together with the procedural flora and fauna and a mixed set of procedurally generated planetary buildings we can walk around to make an interesting and diverse addition to the Elite game, and not wasting their time and money 3d modelling the toilet cubicle in my Cobra III.

I will go to my real kitchen now to get a real beer from my real fridge, and dream about walking on alien landscapes not dream about walking around the inside of my house or spaceship in VR because I'm certain that computer games are supposd to be about escapism from the confines of our meagre existence not reconfirmation of it.

Nicely put.
