When developing the style for the interior, did you have to lean on the Constellation and the Polaris much, or did you use this as an opportunity to expand the RSI style guide even further?
TL;DRThe interior borrows shape language, doors, frames and buttresses from the Polaris (and Bengal) so it advances the RSI look while staying clean for medical areas and tying in with familiar ships.
Yeah, obviously there's been a lot of work done on the Connie, and... I mean, yes, we have done some stuff on the Polaris, and this is a little bit of having your cake and eating it, maybe. I've taken some elements from the Polaris and some of the shape language that works well for this, for the overall medical bays and central room. Obviously it's medical, so we're keeping it clean in that area, but the cockpit and those sort of areas definitely will have similar doors, things that the fans are familiar with, door frames, buttresses. So, yeah, I think it will be an advancement of the RSI visuals, but everything will still tie in.
There's a lot of the Bengal in there as well. I guess the Bengal and the Polaris, they're very similar.
I guess it's taking that cross-sectional shape from the corridors and feeding that in. There's lots of nods.
