Could you please consider making the Tempest accessible on planets surface? This is probably due to some tech issue, but It is ridiculous that you have to leave the planet or the Nexus every time you want to change something on the ship ....... and it would be AMAZING! If there are dialogues attached to this it could be a watered-down version of it, but I would like to actually drive into the cargo bay and it would be AWESOME to oversee your colony from your quarters.... Who is with me?

yes is a pain every time that i want to go to the tempest i have to see a cutcene leaving the planet

Not many players own a machine that can render both the Tempest AND the world outside the window. This takes a considerable amount of computing power. It won't render your view from the window. It would have to render the whole world as if you were standing in that spot. So NPCs walking around where you can't see them,would still be rendered. So all the interactions in the ship and the world outside would have to be active. They could make a generic view for the windows that didn't actually represent the active world but then your overseeing of the colony would not be accurate. Just a static landscape that never changes or evolves. Or put terminals in all landing zones with access to email,strike teams etc etc Hell,this stuff should be on your Omni-Tool.

YES in the omnitool that would be nice and when you opened it show a screen type dead space tha would be cool

I would appreciate a static landscape like we get for the very fist time on the Nexus a lot more than this constant up and dow just because I want to check my emails, check the Mission Teams or just want a short talk with some of the crew members. So yes, count me in.

also another way is to put a generic video of the outside world so those who play in pc dont push so hard they video card

"This is probably due to some tech issue"
If running the game so that it has enough memory to display the inside of the Tempest as well as the external environment counts as a technical issue, then yes.
Next console generation maybe.

Mcrackin is correct, I've created game levels for Crysis and even though the AI characters and structures are not always seen they all still have to get lighting parameters, information on whether or not they will interact with another part or building. If it is a character then that character has multiple rules too follow including where it can and can't go or do. Then it has to have instructions for every thing or character it might come in to contact with.

Then there is the environment that also has rules. All of this is happening in the background of the game at all times for any area you might wander into. That way you don't go thru a door or turn a corner and have to wait for everything in the room to load.

Then there are interactions with other characters that the game has to keep ready for you to play thru. There is a lot going on at any given time in the background. So even though you may be standing say on the 3rd floor of a building the game still renders the environment outside of the building so if you jump out the window you will not have to wait for everything to load before you fall.

This is exactly what I felt yesterday. On level 42 now , done many side quests the majority of which took considerable determination to keep on going, due to the planet to ship pillar to post
back and forth scan this , go back check your e- mail then back to another planet again, then some missions just feels like a damp squib anyway.Some times you have just talked to Jaal on a planet , gone back to the tempest , then you have to go back again to see Jaal again? Being able to read your e-mail on the palnets surface would help like with a pad or maybe even a thousand year old smartphone. This made me feel unenthusiastic to say the least , to keep on playing the game .Maybe I should just concentrate on the main missions ?
