More than flying, more than fighting, more than FPS, more than exploration: when can I have lockable doors on my spaceship?asked by Go 90
TL;DRLockable doors are expected in the near future, not the next patch and probably not the one after, since they depend on finishing the new item system.
I would say not too far in the distant future. It won't be the next patch and probably not the patch afterwards, but maybe after that. Because with things like the Starfarer flying around, you're flying around in large ships. And so then there's going to be that whole aspect of boarding and, with persistence of course, taking a ship from someone else and all the rest of the stuff. So that is gameplay that is important. So we actually want to add in gameplay that allows you to lock the doors, and then someone else that's trying to get in has to hack them or use a charge to blow them open. And so all that kind of comes with the new item system. So when the new item system is all fully functioning, all the doors, all the rest, they're all interconnected. They all talk to each other. And you can implement security and states and all the rest of the stuff. So really, that side of it is waiting on the remaining aspects where we're closing out Item System 2.0. But I would say it's in the near future. It's not in the far future.
