Is there an update on the customization options that the 300 series received? We said then that we'd be using it for other ships, but there hasn't been another ship using the same customization system since then. Is there more coming?
John Crewe · Vehicle Director

Definitely plan to do more of them. It's a time/reward thing. The 300 took a lot of development time because it was the first. We learned a lot of it from the dev side. We learned a bit from what players liked on the other side of it, what they didn't like. And it's really just finding another ship to do it on and release it on, because it does add time onto the schedule. So it's a case of, we could release the ship at this date, or we could do it with customization and it's one, two quarters later. And do we want to do that, or do we just want to have the ship out? So those discussions are definitely going to happen in the future, and it's absolutely going to happen for things like cockpit decorations.

Ben Curtis · Vehicle Art Director

Yeah, I think the decoration side of it, when we first started talking about that a while ago on the prop side, we did a whole bunch of ones that we could use to prototype with and play with, and everyone really enjoyed it. And yeah, we definitely want to get to the point where you can go and find these really unique assets that you can show off in your ship and decorate your ship with, things that you can't just nip down to the local landing zone and buy, but things that are a little bit more unique. And every so often that topic of conversation comes up. It's like, yeah, everyone's excited about doing it. Everyone's excited about making the assets and having fun doing it. So I think once that comes online, we should start seeing a lot of that stuff.

Were you surprised by how popular the coffee maker was?

Ben Curtis · Vehicle Art Director

I'm not going to lie, that coffee maker has given me a few headaches. Jens, who's on the programming side of things, he's like, the coffee maker is working, isn't it? It is working, because I keep seeing images of it not working on Reddit. And it's like, yeah, it better be working. But yeah, everyone loves coffee.
