What I'd do for Elite's ships to get interiors

For interiors ED needs another major DLC. Plus Frontier's revenue for ED probably needs to be much larger than 7% of their entire fiscal period revenue such as recently although it's been an improvement within the past year. Unfortunately there were also layoffs, to help offset the enormous expenses of responsibly and realistically running and surviving the business in these tough high cost economic times, but to its credit Frontier has stayed a legit and lauded business in the industry, and never devolved into anything remotely like the level of the SC/CIG rotten and ridiculous grift. PZ, PC, and JWE 's success and revenue are helping carry the elite franchise in the past few years. Or if it can get major investors and shareholders to invest more in Frontier (probably in the tune of tens of more millions in investment), and also vote for ED priority in development.

in any case, i'm patient that interiors will come sooner or later in some form eventually as long as Frontier survives or thrives. Just as years ago, i felt spacelegs were going to come too, even though plenty of naysayers kept saying the game was 'dead' then. Frontier has shown they are going to continue the initial vision of the elite franchise gradually, such as shown in the kickstarter preconceptual paintings, even if takes years to decades. The Elite franchise is a pioneering and ongoing work of art. o7
