Who decides on the placement of props?

Generally it's whoever builds the environment, be that the level designers or the environment team or the ship team. The ship team dress some of their assets, the environment team dress some of their assets. The shops might be handled by Robin and his guys. And then it depends on what the particular environment is. And then you get things like the Star Marine maps that are heavily design-led because they have the real gameplay impact. So generally the props team don't do much of the dressing. We make the assets and then they get handed over to the other teams to use in their creative ways.
