alright, I'm adapting this idea from GTA O so bare with me

What if in next Elite...if it comes...To give us more of a money sink we have the ability to purchase settlements for business raising reasons (shipping/exporting/mining/production). This costs upkeep. Also while advancing these settlements you unlocked various new vehicles such a SRVs and mining equipment for surface planetal mining/scanning/gas mining

you purchase the settlements using your funds and upgrade them via "pre selected buildings" that you can choose from. You won't be able to build them all in one settlement meaning you'll need to own multiple settlements to do multiple things.

These settlements comes with their own missions for raising your settlements independence OR their selected national. They can also be raided by OTHER PLAYERS or NPCs.

Base building? Not really part of Elite Dangerous style, it would also be, well, not a small update to the game, in fact a massive update to the game that would push everything that other players want and expect at least several years into the future.

I don't really give a damn about walkable ships. At all. Nor the people in the Elite Dangerous Discord.

Why are you guys saying no to CONTENT? There is zero content in walking around your space ship. Waste of an UPDATE.

Please stop asking for ship interiors, ELITE DANGEROUS DOESN'T NEED THEM.

WHAT WE DO NEED IS SOMETHING, ANYTHING, TO DO WITH THE EXPANSION THAT GOT ZERO CONTENT UPDATES AFTER IT WAS LAUNCHED.

The settlements are SORELY lacking and the planets that are walkable are bare of features. Either Fdev adds those features or LET US.

No thanks, if I wanted base building I'd stick to NMS.
Same as if I wanted ship interiors I'd stick to Star Citizen, or X4...

There is content that could be added that would make ship interiors worth it. Plenty. And like it or not but we spend 90+% of our time in the pilot's seat, i would like to at LEAST be able to stretch my legs inside my cockpit. The whole ship would be better tho, i just cant stand the black screen. And i agree, i want landable atmospheric planets. But finish ship content first. Ship interiors with no content to go with them may be a waste, however content for them is definately addable.
