Can we see more concept art of ships that haven't been seen in a while ie merchantman, caterpillar?asked by EveWake

TL;DRConcept art of older ships isn't promised on a date, but the speakers expect some, including interior shots and Vanguard interior teases, in the near future, as releases are planned to keep excitement up.

Well, I think that in general what you'll find is we will do the original concept. It'll be some really quick interior shots, but mostly we concentrate on the outside of the ship, and that's usually during the concept sale. And then later down the road, then we start blocking out the interior, we start working really close with the design, making sure that you can get from the front to the back, you can get into your chair, exit your chair, turn, stuff like that, so heavy design goes in the interior, so I'd imagine that when you see follow-up concepts from concepts you haven't seen in a while, you will find that you'll see some new interior shots. I think we're going to have some Vanguard interior teases pretty soon that our concept artist Gurmukh did, which are pretty sweet.

Yeah, probably see those sooner than anything else. We pretty much plan when to show stuff. It's... it's hard to just show stuff that hasn't been seen before, cause that has to go through a whole approval process, and it's... there's a little bit of a art to like, we are a game, we are in the entertainment industry, so we want to hype people up. We can't if we just start throwing everything out at all times, it gets... it'll get oversaturated, it'll get a little boring. Even though people are always excited, you want to keep that excitement and momentum.

Yeah, and that allows us to concentrate on one thing at a time. But I think that yeah, you will see some upcoming concepts that you haven't seen for a while, probably pretty in the near future.

Yeah, I think really near future.
