If they did market surveys like they did their code survey for Odyssey release, we will never see ships interior
Why is ship interiors something that is not planned to be included if at least half the player base wants it?
- Thread starter Deyangelo7
- Start date
What was wrong with using any of the previous dozen threads about ship interiors?
Anecdotally saying 50% is not proof. People also do not just want interiors they want the gameplay to go with it. Otherwise whats the point. That there is another two year wait and bugfeast
You right. The thing is there's a lot of clue that suggests that in-ship gameplay is highly unlikely.
Haha.
The last 4 years has generated so much free resources, we will drown in gameplay content soon
IMMMMURRRRSHUNNNNN!
We got spacelegs? all I see are landlegs - they weren't a most requested feature. Spacelegs would <hopefully> include planetary ambulation, zero G space walks, ghost ships floating out beyond the rim to explore with just your trusty torch and... ship interiors (or at least the bridge / living quarters / turbo lift to the exit.
A DLC as big as Horizons remember, all two years in one drop.
Version history
Elite Dangerous is the definitive massively multiplayer space epic, bringing gaming's original open world adventure to the modern generation with a connected galaxy, evolving narrative and the entirety of the Milky Way re-created at its full galactic proportions. Here is the version history of...

I haven't played star citizen but they seem to do ship interiors very well. Do people feel it's a waste of time on that game?
Nope. It actually provides player WITH player gameplay and proper multi-crew.
Problem solved
Considering SC has been far more successful than Elite despite barely being a game and the main difference between the two being the ship interiors... I'd say that most players are like you and haven't got bored of the ship interiors.

I think the main difference is ED has alleged 400 billion star systems but SC only has a small amount. Being released to console is a big difference too as it pushes on to a mainstream level ( even though we know it's not) while the other is more like a gated community
So much this. It rarely means you should do exactly what the users ask for, but understanding your users, what they want, and how they use your product is essential to any software project, including games. FDev doesn't seem to have a very good understanding of its player base and how ED is played.
These threads
SC is a joke in the broad gaming community.
- It does not have a single completed system.
- The engine does not support jumping.
- Players are routinely killed by ramps, since their physics engine is borked (courtesy of incompetent developers trying to get ship interiors into a CryEngine mod).
- There is effectively no persistence.
- Their installer requires you to break Windows security.
- They sell non-functional JPEGs for thousands of dollars.
Divide revenue by ship cost. They have a couple thousand whales propping them up.
I've not played Star Citizen and I'm not really tempted to buy it - but having watched a few youtube videos and specifically those by mainly Elite players, the one thing everyone agrees on is that Star Citizen nailed it with their ship interiors - no one complains about them and everyone seems to really like them, they are detailed and very immersive. That whole process of getting out of the commander's chair walking to a lift or air lock or something, lowering a ramp or stairs and walking out on to an alien planet - that was what I wanted to do in Odyssey - that Armstrong moment they spoke about and completely failed to deliver.

My guess is FDev simple can't and won't try and complete with Star Citizen on ship internals, because from looking at the concourse and the settlement buildings, they are okay to average, there is little to no 'wow factor' and that is what FDev would deliver if they actually tried to do ship interiors. Having said, I still want them!!
