With the need for multiple specialized armors, will we see suit lockers enabled and more options for armor storage, like storing in the ship's inventory come out as Starwares for the developed?
TL;DRSuit lockers and ship inventory storage are on different teams so may not arrive together, but ships have inventory now, more will gain physical panels in 4.0, and there will always be somewhere to store gear.
Well, those are on very different teams like the Starware and the lockers. So those guys have very different priorities as well. I can't guarantee they'll come out at the same time. All ships that should have inventory though, do currently. And for 4.0, a lot more of those will have like physicalized panels and things that you interact with to find those. And like the lockers themselves, those are really cool. Like they allow you to kind of pre-customize your load. And then swap into it very quickly. Like, and your clothes would go into like the mannequin on the inside as well. So you can quickly swap back and forth. They also have like, you know, small inventory space. So you can put your spares on your glasses and your grenades and whatever in there. Yeah, so like there will always be somewhere to store these things when you have to take them off or swap. But you know, they may not come online at the same time.
A couple weeks ago, might be a couple months ago now because time is illusion. I've been sucked into CitizenGone for so long. We released a preview on social media about the upcoming base building and the suit lockers and these gorgeous, you know, lockers where you can just display your full load out and stuff like this in your homes and whatnot. And it occurs to me that, you know, with cargo grids and having these things that you might be able to, ships have their own suit lockers, but you might be able to, you know, kit your ships out with even more lockers and stuff like that, you know, and carry them around and basically really do the doomsday prepper kind of thing. Like, you know, I've got my Zeus, I've got my, you know, a C2 and in the back, I've just got, you know, the Batman armory for every occasion, no matter what comes up, I can run to the back and you know, there's my mining outfit and there's my salvage outfit and stuff like this. And that's a really exciting moment for me because it's not like, obviously the inventory screen is cool, you go through and you drag and drop and whatever, but this idea that you just said.
It's almost like, you know, your models in the background, like if you want to show off your favorite armors, you know, they are behind a shiny glass.
And then to immediately just go right to it and be like, equip, I want that. Yeah, I think that's gonna unlock a lot of cool gameplay.
Yeah, that's something that Rich is really passionate about as well because, you know, we have so many different types and these like specializations, they kind of enhance the other styles of gameplay. So if you're in a drop ship, for example, you don't want to be dropping into a hot war zone and then you're like, oh, okay, one minute, let me drag this and let me drag that. You want to be like, no, I want my combat. Yeah, I want to go straight to, I want to get out there, I want to fight. So they kind of, all these little things that we're doing kind of start to compliment one another and it starts to feel more cohesive and what we intend.
Yeah, when your ship's been attacked, you know what I mean, the lights are going off, you're really worried, you're not like, oh, hang on, let me open a menu. It's like, people are coming, yeah. You want, yeah, you want the Doom shotgun gif, right? Like these guys are coming, well, boosh. And then, yeah, it's gonna be cool.
