Do you ever think about just making a really clean space station sometimes? A really clean location that isn't dirty and messy and disorganized?
Joel Azzopardi · Senior Environment Artist

Yeah. I mean, if the style calls for it, we will. But the style for the stations, at least these ones in the Stanton system, it's utilitarian. These aren't new. They've been here for a very long time. And it is a large location to keep track of. So you're going to see a bit of things run wild within it. It's not going to be kept updated. And it depends as well, within these utilitarian station interiors, we do have higher focused areas where it's more of a communal space where they would focus their attention. So that might be a bit cleaner, with less maintenance props around. You wouldn't expect to see these maintenance props in every single room. This is more of that back traversal alley that none of the people who live here care enough about to do something about it.

It's also a really easy way just to make something feel lived in.

Joel Azzopardi · Senior Environment Artist

Yeah. But definitely while we're still working on utilitarian stations, they're going to be a bit lived in and a bit beaten up. But that doesn't mean that we don't entertain the ideas of what a high tech station might look like, or a station by a different manufacturer. These are Rest & Relax owned stations. So they're going to kind of feel like a public rest stop back on Route 65 or something like that. Just don't go into the toilets.

Captain Cole says, lived in doesn't have to mean dirty. No, it doesn't, but it sure does help. Besides, I think, without giving too much away, as we work towards a location like microTech, you'll probably be seeing a cleaner aesthetic. The two planets we've got so far, Hurston and ArcCorp, are very industrialized, very mechanically inclined, stuff like that. As we move towards other locations like microTech and Crusader, I think you'll see more of probably what you're asking about.

Joel Azzopardi · Senior Environment Artist

Yeah, and you can just say better population on those planets as well. Little tolerance for wrongdoings and whatnot. So the people who live there are going to be a bit more sophisticated.
