Some insight on the interior design of R.T.F. Starships.
While Space Engineers is shining on the exterior aspect because of it’s shaders and complex blocks, Starmade is better suited for the interior stuff. Starmade has overall smaller blocks and can implement more detail, despite its minecrafty look.
If you ever wandered on one of these ships, you would feel a gloomy atmosphere, the emptiness and loneliness of the ship reverberating in the lower parts of your consciousness.
Most of the ship isn’t designed for human presence - the corridors are narrow and the walls close in on you, sloping over your head. There are crevices in the walls and floor, emitting a subtle glow. The recreational areas are like small, confined, safe havens, surrounded by this big, unfathomably big machine that seems to consist of nothing else than meaningless, dead and absolutely silent corridors.
I may reference the manga ‘Blame!’ at this point, as it manages to create this ambience like nothing else I’ve ever seen before.
