Walking in ships?

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Maybe he just played X: Rebirth, in which walking around was incredibly bad. You had to walk through identikit corridors in space stations, to find generic dudes, to get missions and recruit crew members.

I would like to walk around on my ship in ED, and perhaps on stations as well, as long as it's not done the Rebirth way. In other words, I don't want to be forced to walk through a mile of labyrinthine corridors everytime I want to sell some cargo .

Well in XR it's clearly low quality work. It's understandable resources and expierence involved. It can be made better for sure. Copy paste corridors for such limited scope game like XR just screams rush job and lazyiness.

Yeah i think we had gotten stuck on stealing from stations etc because that was a place we weren't involved. Boarding and general fighting in space at least gives you a chance to fight back or flee!

But its all really just debate as we are talking about something that is an expansion in the future! Lol, we aren't even debating what is core at release. But speculation is part of the fun and also to a degree the frustration in thee conversations.

Everyone remember the opening sequence to Star Wars? That boarding sequence is probably what many have as a reference point.

But ships probably have self-destruct so boarding and the related gameplay will have to be complex in order to do it justice. And that is a whole new game.

I can guarantee it won't be, Frontier strike me as a developer who would rather not release anything so poor than suffer serious damage to their image.

Anyway, all ships and stations have been made with the future expansion in mind, so it may not be too far from release when we'll see the first aspects of having the ability to 'get out of the seat'.

Taking 'aspects' a little further I suspect the ability to walk in ships won't be a single day mega expansion, where one day we go from being glued to the chair to the full ability of walking around ships, disembarking at a space station and visiting Braben's Bar to plan a big game hunt on some Imperial World. Perhaps the first thing shall be simply being able to get out of the seat and wander around the inside of our ships? From what I believe they are already fully modelled internally.

This conversation, I still don't get it., No matter what you pilot, you have to be on your spot.
