With quantum travel bneing considerably longer than traveling between moons. Will we ever be able to leave the pilot seat during these long voyages between planets?
TL;DRLeaving the pilot seat during quantum travel is something they want to do and say is definitely coming, but it isn't the current focus and there's no timing given.
Yeah, no, that's definitely something that CR has talked about quite a bit. He wants to be able to get up and walk around and do other things while you're in quantum travel. He's talked about messing with your cargo, wants to fix items, like things break down maybe on your trip, or something starts to overheat, so you've got to go and deal with that. So it's definitely something that we want to do in the future. It's just not the current focus. But yeah, like I said, the distance between the planets are enormous compared to just the moons of Crusader. So we're doing things right now with quantum travel to try and reduce some of those times with the quantum splines or the planetary spline stuff and all that. It's still going to be substantial between planets, so we have to fill that gameplay with something a little more interesting than just sitting in your seat, and we understand that. So it's definitely coming. I'm not sure exactly when, but it'll be there at some point.
When I think about it, I always think of that scene in Star Wars, after the Millennium Falcon gets away at light speed and Han comes walking to the back, bragging that, I told him I'd lose him, stuff like that. Those moments. And then, of course, fixing things and all that stuff. It's integral to this kind of thing.
Yeah, it's like you've got to eat, you've got to sleep, you've got to do some of these other things to take care of your person as well, right? It's definitely not going to be just a static sit in your seat and kind of watch the stars go by. That's not interesting. But there is interdiction and stuff. People can pull you out.
