The Development Plan video (14 Dec 2012) Braben stated: "w''e're designing all the ships with the interiors in mind, how the cargo is unloaded all that sort of thing, how damage occurs. That's because another thing that we are doing again down the line is you will be able to walk around inside your ship, you will be able to get out of your ship, walk around inside space stations, other vehicles. All of that sort of thing. We've shown the damage on the ship, the damage models. Imagine looking at that from inside the ship outwards seeing your cargo flying out into space, seeing the flames, trying to fight them. All of those things that we plan with time, they won't be at the first release because we want to do them right and want to do them well. All of these will be done as updates."''<ref name=":3" />
