Idea: Ship Interior Packs

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
So right now we are able to buy ship-specific bridge packs for our ships. As a Prometheus-class captain, I'm extremely happy with my Blaze Bridge and will likely buy the Defiant Bridge Pack when I get my T5.5 Escort.

Now, my idea is that packs of ship interiors should be made available in a similar fashion in the C-Store. I'm not suggesting that the devs painstakingly map out each individual section of the ships seen in the shows, but just a type of interior that gives the overall feel of the ship.

For instance, an interior in the "Galaxy Interior Pack" would be very large, have long, curved corridors and that overall colour scheme, along with engineering and Ten-Forward that more closely resemble the interiors shown in the TV series.
For an interior in the "Prometheus Interior Pack" (to show a little bias :p), the designers could be a little more creative since not a whole lot was seen in "Message in a Bottle" outside of Sickbay and the Bridge we already have, but it should be medium-sized and follow the design of the parts of the ship we did see.
The "Defiant Interior Pack" would obviously be very small, and again be based on the designs from the show, such as Engineering and Sickbay.

These are just some examples, obviously there are a lot of ship classes and the developers could make new ones to fit certain ships or certain bridges. To justify these being in the C-Store, I would say that we already have access to three different types of ship interior, and I believe others that look like a specific ship class constitute a 'cosmetic' item. Furthermore, it would mean that no massive update would required, and the developers could add new packs whenever they see fit.

Thoughts?

    Sounds like a good idea to me. Not something that should be in the C-Store though when we buy or have bought a bridge pack it should come with that interior and be retroactive. Since I have them all I shouldnt have to pay again for an interior to match a pack I already payed for.

    I Agree!
    I hope more people write in this thread and wants this.

    Bundled bridge/interior packs could work too. I don't know if the developers would be willing to replace all the current bridge packs with bundles, as it seems quite a task to replace one item with another item and distribute the new item to all those who bought it - a la the Costume Slots. but there could be some kind of special deal which makes buying a bridge pack and it's corresponding interior pack cheaper than buying both seperately or something.

    I'm just throwing ideas out here, I'm sure it could be done in a way that satisfies everybody.
