Would you be willing to pay for variations for your vessels' interiors. We already have bridge options. Would you pay for options for other rooms and corridors inside the ship?

    I would only spend money on interiors if interiors actually mattered.

    Nope... as Nagus points out, interiors don't do anything... so I wouldn't pay for it, I don't think I've been in the interior of my ship(s) for 2 years now... at least.

    I would say yes if it was all possible to add changing the uniforms of the NPC ships crew as well. One other thing , I would LOVE to be able to change the seats on the bridge to the ones that are in the shuttle interior. Couldn't they add some elements to the Foundry to allow us to do so?​​

    I second this, if we had interactive interiors I would go for it.

    Yep I would like more ship customization in game, Inside and Out.
    People who play MMO's usually appreciate a wide variety of customization.
    Let's them stand out in a crowd. Or blend in, depending on your preference. :smiley:

    Mind you, I would be very selective about what I bought.

    Like if they offered the Flora and Fauna room from TOS (You know the one with that life-like plant Sulu was taking care of in "Man Trap"), I would be one of the first in line to "Add" that to my TOS Bridge/Interior.

    Immersion is important to me in an MMO. I would pay for the ability to customize.

    Your poll covers at best a few hundred highly dedicated trekkies who even bother to use the forums while the game has over two million registered accounts.

    You do the math.

    Yes, to add more customization options. But before Cryptic would even do that, they'd first have to make interiors more useful in general.

    Considering i haven't visited my bridge and interior in at least 6 months, the answer will be - absolutely not.

    The funny thing is, this poll is meaningless because Cryptic already has the actual numbers. What numbers? The numbers of how many people have actually bought the various bridges/interiors they already have for sale in the store. BTW, have you noticed how they rarely make those anymore? It's NOT because those items were selling really well...it's because they weren't. So regardless of what any forum poll says, their own internal data already shows them those items don't sell well enough to justify the development.

    No, unless it adds full access to a Bank and Exchange, and adds a Medic and a proper personal quarters we can customize fully.

    Until then, I may as well endure a few seconds Transwarping to a base or call in a Freighter to conduct business, rather than visit a starship interior that does nothing.

    Yes I would be willing to pay for a decent interior. also, A good ide would be to allow Travel between locations while inside your interior, helps with the immersion.
  • berginsbergins Member Posts: 3,453 Arc User

    I got the TOS pack specifically for the interior, so to say I wouldn't pay for interiors would be a lie.

    I've got the Galaxy bridge, but got it bundled with the Gal-X package when it was red-released. Would really looove the NX interior, hope they work that into the Temporal Cold War and then make it available like they did the Voyager bridge.

    I think that's a pretty good idea, I would like to see some sort of notification from your bridge officer like "Captain we have reached (insert planet/system/asteroid belt/nebula)" . That might be reaching but if they could pull off something like that as well it would be pretty cool.​​

    Yeah, travel while in your interior would be cool, but it had been explained why it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to pull off. Sorry.

    I probably would...but odds are we'd have to pay then pay again...in which I mean the odds of something like this happening would take a kick starter then have to purchase the ability in game (unless o fcourse they offer it free after donating so much)

    Who knows...after the charity drive last week maybe they will try means of fund raising for future stuff.

    Yes, I would be willing to pay.
    I voted yes, but I feel the need to explain.

    I would be willing to pay for a few specific things. New rooms I get to decide where they go, like Atriums, Stellar Cartography, a Holodeck, my Shuttlebay (different for class of ship), Torpedo Bay, and yes, a Space Walk on the Exterior of my Ship.

    I would pay for the ability to change my random NPCs uniforms, even if it was just to a "standard pattern" option I owned. (Such as TNG, or Temporal). I would love the ability to change what I am seeing on the view screens, even from a few dozen preselected images. This would help immensely with immersion during Roleplaying to be able to for example, pull up a the images of the various C-Store ships, and the stock Captains from the Foundry with randomized bridge backgrounds.

    I remember this one mission (forgot the name though) where you had to meet some ambassadors on your ship . The room looked like a lounge and had a raised dais, large, round windows that reached to the floor and all I could think of was turning something like that into a mess hall or "ten forward" would be something I would love to do.

    Now that you mention it , I do recall as well a developer (I think it was TacoFangs) that explained why it would be difficult to do so. Oh well , I still like the idea of doing a spacewalk on my ship though!​​

    I think Cryptic should atleast use interior sets for a Bottle Episode, where the only outside view would be done the same way they showed ESD, that drydock, and the SS Breakeven in the tutorial.

    A lot of people don't seem to understand this, but when you build a mission, that mission has to work for everyone. And to work for everyone, it has to be the same for everyone. When they build a mission, they use 1 specific map for each part of the mission. And because they have so many custom interiors, there is no way they can build a mission that shows everyone's own personalized interior. If they make a mission that supposedly takes place on your ship's interior, that mission is going to have the same interior for everyone, regardless of what personalized interior you have for your ship outside of that mission.

    I know on Deviantart there is a piece from a person who submitted an idea where Players could assemble their own interiors, but the plan didnt get used.

    What do you mean by matter? So, if it's cosmetic and serves no other purpose...then why bother with it? Maybe all of the ships should be egg-shaped and move around on a white background/playing field firing dots at each other. After all...all that really matters is their BOFF layout, hull points, turn rate and other combat characteristics. Characters should be stick figures too.

    So they make the episode with an interior that's not your ships. No problem.

    If Bridges only cost EC, then I'd totally go for ship interiors. Never understood the need for bridge layouts to cost real money when they serve no real purpose.

    If they did ship interiors, I bet they would cost x2 as much as a bridge layout. I personally would love the Prometheus and Nomad layouts, but not for 400 zen each.

    I do wish that every new ship that came out followed the Odyssey, the free Odyssey came with it's own unique bridge layout and then the hybrid Odysseys came out with one of the coolest bridges I've ever seen.

    As much as I personally would love to see the interior of the Odyssey, I would not buy it for zen and would just check out a friends Odyssey instead since again, they would serve no real purpose.

    I'd pay to give my lock box ships interiors...personally, I think the engineering of the Wells/Mobius/Annorax should be like a Romulan singularity core, but it be a temporal core, etc.

    Full custom interiors
    tacofangs wrote: »
    Bridges/Interiors take far longer to make than ships. As such, if there is sufficient reason to make a full ship interior (such as the newish Romulan Ship interior, being used all over LoR) we'll make one. If there isn't, we won't. Making a custom bridge, let alone a full interior for the Corvette (while cool) would be a significant investment of time/resources. So, we could have skimped on Risa more, and built an interior, or done what was done, and skipped the interior which would have served little purpose anyway, and went with beefing up Risa.


    Building custom bridges takes longer than a couple of days. Something like the Suliban/Andorian/Tholian Bridges, were each 5 days of Environment work from me. Then it needs design time to hook up any interactables, doors, etc.

    Doing a full interior is significantly longer (i.e. 3 weeks to a month)
