Can you animate interior physics grids? Specifically, in the Hull series the interior grows longer when it extends.
Sean Tracy · Technical Director of Content

Yeah, that's exactly something we need. And one of the things that the physics guys are looking at now is the SDS and the physics for the ships. And that ship specifically is the main reason that we have to look at this. So, yeah, that's going to absolutely have to be supported. So, can we do it right now? Nope. But we're going to have to be able to with the Hull.

I think that being able to separate and change physics like that is a big part of our non-death states for ships, too. Because right now, the reason you shoot a ship and then it explodes and everybody dies is because we can't actually separate the...

Well, we just can't animate it. We just can't move it around. That's the trick. So with some of the transforming ships, we totally worked around this fact, right? Like the Reliant specifically, there was a bunch of things that they had to do. He's talking about this all the time, so he's really after the physics guys for this. But like with a lot of things, it's not going to get a huge amount of priority until that ship is coming closer and closer. And I think it kind of is.
