Okay, actual content: FPS is on the cards for E:D at some point, right? Did Frontier say that it would be just a walk around/exploration thing, or have they hinted at actual combat roles?

They have talked back in 2012 about crazy things like being a stowaway and boarding another ship to steal it, hunting dinosaurs in planets etc etc. Their ideas about things like ship interiors and FPS gameplay are pretty cool though. Here is a concept example of 0g living quarters in a ship.



Rotate the image, and see what you get. You can watch the old concept art for the game here, it is interesting that Frontier tends to implement what they showcase as concept art pretty faithfully.

Also, we got more on the FPS subject when they released their artbook some months ago. You can find it in pdf form here, and it is really worth to view it, if only to see what they have implemented so far, and what are their ideas for the future.

For example..multicrew.

There will be a desert level, a snow level a fire level and probably an underwater level I would have thought. This is Chris's imagination we are talking about here.

You've left out the planets though.

New London, Europa, Manchester, New Los Angles, New York, New Berlin, etc.

Each one will be populated specifically by that particular subset of people from Earth today.

It will be ground breaking fidelity.

Except for Europa.

Well, to be truthful, Frontier does offer cosmetic micro-transactions that add spoilers, wings and struts to your ship, so as to both make some money and give players the opportunity to "pimp their ride"



Case in point...making a batmobile..XD



I do agree though, their ships do have some internal consistency. Take for example how the weapons are designed as retractable hardpoints, or why you don't see sillyness like space fans or landing gear wheels.

well they offered those cosmetic things only after when they knew their ship is functioning the way want it to be.

so it is still following their mantra that function first before then form, also not all ship have yet to have it. if CIG was running that show it would be pre-order concept art ship kits lol
