What you say there is very true. The fantasy is to be in space with your ship, inc interior.Yeah, its difficult to explain but i don't care about the ships i own in ED, they are just a tool for the job. because that is all there is to it, i think the "if they had an interior you have to move through it to get in and out, so no" speaks to why that is.
If you're developing a game from a spreadsheet you get something that feels like it was made by an accountant.
CIG are acting out a fantasy everytime they develop a ship, and that's the difference.
And yes spot on, ED almost feels like the accountant did the planning. Maybe he did.
