Yeah, I've spoken about this multiple times, big fan of delivery missions. I spend a lot of my time on Euro Truck Simulator 2. So yeah, I love big cargo missions, but there's one of the fundamental pieces we need, because I don't want to give you cargo missions where you go up, click a terminal, it spawns in your ship. I'd prefer the flow to be nice. So, cargo elevators. I want you to have to move the boxes, or in the future, pay someone to move the boxes for you, and I want that to feel like you are a delivery man who's loading your truck full of goods, going from A to B, maybe getting pirated, getting there.

You don't always have to be pirated.

Maybe. That's just an example, Reddit. And then taking your boxes to drop off. But I want a full proper mission flow that makes you feel like a delivery man.

And for those who follow the public roadmap, not the release view, the progress view, you'll see that freight elevators are in development. I've seen some internal reviews. The elevator opens up and there's a whole bunch of stuff and it's like, I've got to get this into my ship. And they're all prototyping different ways of moving the things, either by the hand tractor beam or by carts and stuff like this. So it's all being worked out, and when it's farther along and we're more confident in the exact approach we're going to take, that's when we'll show it to you. They're still kind of blue-skying a couple of things, how best to move things from the elevator into the ships.

It goes into the whole thing of: we could fudge it and make it all right, but our key focus is fun in the 'verse, so we want to make things that are polished, that we think are going to be fun and that players enjoy.

Edward Fuller · Lead Designer, Mission Features

Yeah, and another team is working on making it fun, so we would be stepping on their toes. It would be very silly for us.
