Er ... I was ok with that actually ... ;-)
Update 11: let the complaints begin....
- Thread starter William J Smith
- Start date
No new ships, the patch get a 5 out of 10 bobblehead rating.
For years, seated in our ships, the community pleaded "let us stand up" we said, "let us walk around" we said.
And then in 2021 it happened, we were able to stand up..and we were able to walk around and...
we cried out to the developers
"why can't we sit down?"
Now that Elite has sit down technology, it's time for new toilet gameplay mechanics.
- can we please get the EDO modules in the EDH carriers?
In our discord we have a lot of different FCs spread over EDO and EDH, and we do our own "community goals" (biggest price 50 bil... unclaimed back then, puzzle was too hard), and having the possibility of simply purchasing the modules for EDO players offers a much better possibility to provide mobile bases for our user base (about 3300 registered users and about 10% are inactive for 30 days or more).
Yes, FC interiors have just confirmed my fears that ship interiors would indeed be boring and utterly useless once the initial novelty wears off. At least let me interact with the coffee machines
For me, the only reason to go inside my fleet carrier is to watch the jump sequence.And sitting down is also utterly pointless because you can't do anything while resting your legs. At a minimum, we should be able to open up some menus or interact with the barkeeper.
What a great use of developer time and resources, sigh.
I'm not able to stand out of my chair and walk around !
I mysteriously teleport outside after the camera start going up.

There are others, but that one is quite big. Enjoy.
There needs to be more variety of NPC sleeping / sitting animations.
It looks weird looking around the station seeing the majority of people in the same position.

Good stuff:
Bad stuff:
- Useless displays everywhere even in my lap. Why not have the information from various service menus in there? Tritium levels, stock levels, jump distance, the next system we're going to, trade volume/profit, materials available at the bar? So much opportunity to make the interior a nice place to walk around and gather information rather than screens of gibberish.
- Bar Tender: Man, I don't know what was envisioned here but that is tedious to the extreme. I have to setup the market to buy my own stuff then setup the market to sell my stuff I just bought. No trading so it's not much use to visit my own carrier's bar to get bartender services. There needs to be a way to transfer the mats into the bar for the owner.
Otherwise offer the same trading as stations where buying and trading works like stations and inventory is not stored unless I override it with a market request. Selling to CMDRs is unique and only deals in market set inventory. Seems worlds better than what we have here. The maximum stock needs to at least double. Tripple or more seems more appropriate to allow us to offer a nice selection of items. Pricing also needs a rework - 10000% of gal-avg needs to be allowed.
- Sitting: Don't get me wrong here. Being allowed to sit in the seats in stations and carriers is a nice touch. I like it a lot and hope more interactivity comes online. However the fact I can't use any menus at all while seated nor interact with anyone at all... bar-tender or NPC makes it kind of a one-n-done feature unless my object is to be AFK. I can only sit and look. Put some mission givers at tables and let us sit down to talk to them. Let me summon the bartender over to me at my seat. Obviously they were not meant to move originally but a path with some stops at the chairs would make for a nice experience.
- I like the views in the bar and ready room and command deck.
- I like the terminals that let me interact with carrier services.
- I'll appreciate the supplies when on a longer exploration trip. (I like my supplies fully stocked)
- I like sitting down and just having a nice view while I look something up or develop some routes or wait for others to arrive.
- The big countdown timers are a nice touch.

My issues :
-bar should be free (or super cheap). Bartender function should be paid.
-the right hand panel on the CMDR chair on the bridge should allow for FC management (like the one on the wall inside the ready room).
Not gonna happen :
-would have liked a "captain room" thing next to the ready room. With a bed and some furniture. The one used in settlement already. Bonus point if we had a hook for ingame screenshot, like a poster in the wall. Something Warframe and Subnautica does.

Only because they made it boring and useless, but it doesn’t have to be, you just need to design it properly.
In short the richest in the game have the interior of one of their ships and not us? (tears)
Congratulations! You have unlocked Capitalism!
