And they're still wanting, because last time I looked E:D still hasn't got 'em. Very specific sections of your fleet carrier, yes. Very specific sections of space stations, yes. Your normal ship, no.

If you have VR you can float around your ship's cockpit (including leaving old Ichabod sitting in the pilot's seat, sans his head) but nothing is rendered outside of this and the details are pretty sparse, nor can anything in there be interacted with. But to be fair, I'm not sure what gameplay purpose this would actually serve given how E:D is structured.

    Elite Dangerous is more of a Space Flight Sim, rather than a Space Life Sum, but they do add elements of Space Life, and the game was kind of originally marketed as a Space Life sim. Honestly, walkable ship interiors would be cool, but yeah, there really isn't much reason for them to be added.

    I think the main 2 things that Elite has going for itself are the 1:1 realistically scaled galaxy and the art direction. Very few other games can so beautifully simulate what it feels like to be on a lone exo planet, 50000 light-years away from Sol.

    I kind of bounced off of No Man's Sky, and it was mostly because of the visuals. It was too cartoony for my tastes, but I should really give it another go.

    There's an indie game called Rodina. A lot like NMS in a lot of ways, and very different in a lot of ways. The number 1 reason I wanted it originally was that you could build a starship and walk around in it freely, and land that ship in real time and just exit or not like in NMS. It's a fantastic game though.
