Why do the NPC capital ships have no interiors?

Luke PressleyLead Designer, Star Citizen Live team

I have a little snippet here from John Crewe that I'll read. But I just want to say, because they weren't integral, they're not integral to this mission. And we are currently working on the tech to dynamically stream in these interiors. And as you can imagine, the interior of the Javelin is going to hurt your frames. For that reason, if nothing else, we didn't include it. But there are other reasons, obviously. It makes it harder for you to steal the ship, which is always important. It also doesn't spoil it. If someone gets in and walks around, they've kind of spoiled the surprise.

Yeah, we've done limited tours over the years and whatever, but we have been cognizant to hold certain visuals and content back because we want people to experience that for themselves whenever these things do fully come online for players.
