Ship interiors artwork?

I realize that the issue of ship interiors has been something of a mild sticking point for a long time (I can remember reading the back-and-forths on whether or not there were even crews), but I was wondering if there are any concept art out there of the ships' interiors? Not anything necessarily vessel-specific, mind you, but just something to give a person an idea of theming?

And I know we get kind of a mild taste of racial interiors based on the walkable portions of the stations, but it's one small room, and I'm left wanting to see more (particularly of the bridges). Anyone know of any good repository for this kind of stuff that I could browse through (if it even exists)?

There are representations of the pod section of ships around.

Everything else is not important and should be beneath your interest as a pod pilot.

Well, I guess I'm interested. I mean, do you think the Pod pilots never do anything in their ships even when in station? We clearly deign to get out of our pods and walk around, so I assume in safe environments, we tend to stretch our legs a little. What's more, I like to think that a holographic projection of us might actually walk the decks even while our physical minds and bodies stay locked within our claustrophobic little cocoon.

Eh, I don't know.

If you looked at a cross section of my ship all you'd see is a bunch of fedos gettin' it on in the crawl spaces and the secret spot where I stash all of my asteroid erotica.

There was an Algos cutaway image in EVE Source. A quick google search will probably turn it up.

For SoE interiors just walk into an Apple store or something.

Lol. That's... in all likelihood accurate.

*Edit*

For anyone interested, here is the Algos cutaway Masato mentioned.

This picture makes me wonder about the larger ships even more. Do battleships come equipped with all kinds of quality of life amenities for the crew? IE, a Dominix comes with a full 'Ten Forward' style bar/strip club, natural-type (rocks, steam, plants, waterfalls) swimming pool, and meditation gardens; your average Apocalypse has a slave death arena, 'sins of the flesh' officer's club, and grand internal chapel/cathedral?

I mean, I guess I like to think of the interiors of the Gallente and Amarr capital/battleships featuring a lot of open spaces to inspire gradeur... fountains... tall columns... red carpeting... trees... stuff like that. And then the Caldari and Minmatar ships are far more practical, with sparse amenities including things like gyms, Olympic pools, indoor tracks... etc.

all of the Ships are Gigantic a Frigate for Example is 10-15 times bigger than the single Pilot Fighters in every other Scifi flic , and when i sit in my Domi Mega or Rattler i dont want to imagine that only ME is in the ship wich is twice as big as the average enterprise wich has a 1000man crew xD so where is my crew keeping my ship alive ?

This is something myself and CCP t0rfifrans have been talking about for some time now, some kind of ship inventory with a lot of techincal backstory and history of hulls in it.

What would you guys think of something like that? Would you be interested in buying some form of media completely devoted to technical backstory in EVE? Stuff like technical readouts, drawings, histories of hulls and their variants, that kind of thing?

Just wondering! Big smile

+1 for technical backstory and ship layouts and the rest of Falcons words....

here's another +1 just to be sure

First, awesome.

Second, absolutely. Are you talking about something like an EVE version of this? Because, frankly, that was like my Bible for 4-5 years in Jr. High/High School.

I think anyone with even the mildest interest in the lore would want to know more about the ships... how they fly... what their crew compliments are... where they were first designed... what their interiors look like... what life aboard them is like. Yeah, I'd fork over $20-$30 for something like that. No question.

If this included images of ships done like this image:

then I would be extremely interested. Big smile
