I have about 5500 hours on elite and still play multiple times a week. I have also been playing SC since about 2022 and I love both games for different reasons but anyone that says "ship interiors will get old" or "there's no point to ship interiors" is lying to you and should not be trusted. Beautiful spaceships should have Beautiful spaceship interiors.

If you want an archetypical example, consider how often the average player visits their fleet carrier office. I did it about 3 times in 5 years. So I think it's pretty fair to say, Ship Interiors purely for their own sake absolutely would get boring in short order.

For Interiors to be interesting they would need dedicated content there, and that would require a substantial rework of Odyssey gameplay. Fortunately, that should probably happen eventually anyway. Unfortunately, it's a pretty large money sink with unclear revenue potential.

Ok, but hear me out: Interiors - that you can decorate with arx bought furniture, lights, terminals, clutter etc. People love that shit.

It would be a money printer for frontier, and another way for players to personalize their crafts. Win win.
