Starfield Mod Matilija Aerospace Ramps and More

[@matilija]

Alright, votes are tallied, No ramp wins with 30 votes, followed by 18 votes for Ramp down and 12 for Ramp up. As stated in the video, if I find time to get more than one in, i'll do my best, as for the suggestions to not include the ramps ect, I don't want to make a bigger Cabot, my bridge is to be unique to Matilija Aerospace unlike anything else in the game, the Cabot already exists for those that want to use it. Besides, I have some ideas for why the connections are there for premade ships down the road and it reduces the need for parts in those builds since I need to make sure my premade ships follow vanilla rules of 130 max parts. ;) I will release a testing video once I have everything edited in the CK with lighting/decorations ect. either Friday or Saturday whenever I have it ready, and then after successful testing and possible tweaking, will get the update out.

[@xander2301]

I know the votes are done but my vote is for you to do what you want. It's your mod, your creation. I look forward to what you do to see what can be. Other than that, keep up the bad ass work!!!

[@ImmenseBoom]

Imho, just the fact that your cockpit has 2 separate decks in it while the cabot only has 1 deck and a stair well to another floor makes it just as unique as the Cabot or the ares bridges are for vanilla. Regardless I’m excited for version 3.0😆

[@timelordn8987]

would it be possible to make a 2x1 trade authority hab?

[@MTF-EPSILON-11-5-NULL]

For the love of god give us an inverted bar

[@lebalsie362]

I love the glass one by ones they are beautiful but I cannot put my work benches in them.

[@RBishop85]

My vote is for center connection. They're all cool, I just see the center connection being easier to build/decorate around.

[@christopherbrown5304]

Gotta say, the center, no ramp option is best IMHO. You mod is one of two mods, admittedly more so yours, that I just CANT build without. Your work is a MUST for me. I'm on Xbox though. That said, I really wish I could share what I've made using your mod. It's sleek, dangerous yet with her own beauty, and looks fast even landed.

[@W1nt3rFox]

that ramp up bridge option is going to be my go to, i pretty much always put my bridge, armory, brig and docker on the bottom and living quarters and stuff like that up high where i can put enough windows for a sick view.

[@locojoe749]

Your mods are awesome. Don’t listen to these people who don’t want the ramps. When you get a chance, put all three variations in. I like both the Ramps going up and down. If they don’t like the Ramps then they lack imagination.

[@seanls4126]

Ditto

[@Nemoticon]

Eventually having the choice of Ramp Up, Ramp Down and No Ramp would be fantastic, variety is the magic of custom building!! But that's all down to your effort ofc, which is AMAZING. Only got back onto SF recently and really enjoying the changes and updates from vanilla release. Very impressive work from you on the mod store, keep up the good work. Liked and subscribed🤩👍

[@seanls4126]

No ramps, but can't wait till you put in the others! Keep up the awesome work and thank you for all you do!

[@grimreaperx3528]

No ramps, cant wait for the bridge

[@waynethomas1265]

Great work!! Your creations are fantastic. All 3 designs are functional. If i have to pick one, I vote for the no ramps center version.

[@CBravo6]

Absolutely love what you are doing here!

[@timothycazden9128]

Center option for sure. the ramp ones feel good for niche cases, but the centered entrances gives it a lot more versatility.

[@CyberScenicDrone]

Hey Matilija! My vote is for the center connection. That will give me the most flexibility for my particular build plans. Cheers and thanks!

[@rob8820]

Center no ramp is the most flexable and easiest to blend into the rest of the ship parts. Although I see you have square plates structure now also that hopefully is included in v3. those would help blend in the other versions.

[@troyharpstrite9165]

All of the stuff you have made is really exceptional, it's not totally my style however it all looks fantastic and it's clear you have a lot of passion for the game and your creations. I would choose center hallway, because so many ramps just waste space that can be used for other things where hopefully the hallway is long enough to tuck a 1X1 in that space for landing gear or a side entry. My only real ASK would be to make your observation bubble look more like the one on the space station, it' has that classic and very cool "Silent Running" look to it and would make such an awesome Garden -HAB if it was possible to decorate somehow and my favorite parts are the cargo lifts, and the classic battleship style guns OUTSTANDING WORK overall

[@LordFarquaad-d7w]

Your mods are amazing,thanks for all your great work

[@aarondawkins5699]

Looks great. Love what you’re doing for the game!

[@OiGee-yu9km]

No Ramps. I lack skill; and vision, but would love to play with either ramped versions. Thank you for the considerations for your designs and the work you put into them to make us happy.

[@jakebauer2225]

Wow! Stop reading my mind.

[@bmflanker81]

Love your mods, always present in my ship. I vote the ramps up version. Thanks

[@celindafuller8498]

I can’t wait to get to use these new parts. Especially the new cockpits. I use your parts on every ship I build so far. I opt for the straight version of the new cockpit. On Xbox x. Thank you!

[@aaronjulian6514]

I like all of your designs. I think it’s useful and multipurpose.

[@SLoweCSL]

Looks great. I would vote no ramps. Great work.

[@sobababababachannel2115]

I would like to see glasses or bottles added to the bar hub👍

[@micbancap]

No Ramps, Thanks again you rock❤❤ Amazing ship parts😊

[@CyberCrisis1]

I like the one with no ramps. I ove you work amd you a lot of your ship modules.

[@Hazardous_18]

No ramps, but it would be pretty cool to see one with one ramp down, one ramp up, and one straight so you can have a main hub to get to three levels.

[@ryanholloway184]

Your mods are great keep up the good work. I play on Xbox you’re doing great work one of the best mods. Thank you

[@th3corrupted]

I would honestly appreciate a cockpit without any extraneous connections for a few reasons. Rather than have ramps or center connections already installed, have 6 door snap points on the rear of the cockpit design. That way, this lessens your workload, consolidates the cockpits into a single option, and puts the creative decision in the end-users' hands. It'll give everyone the liberty to pick and choose which way the ramps or crosshabs appear for their particular ship builds.

[@sdefiel3719]

no ramps initially then others or all ramps internal next ... wings simple wings with multiple snap points. a nice, generic, variety of wings appreciate your talent and time S

[@PiperTJW]

Ramp Down.. they all look sweet!

[@BrendanM-r8g]

Center connection would be best for me but thats just my opinion whatever you do man keep it up love your stuff.

[@lifecrux7]

No ramps. Either way I'm excited and I'll use whatever bridge you upload!

[@andydefur8827]

I'm down for either version. However, I think the ramps UP would be fun to build around.

[@supremeoverlorddiamontethe4557]

Ramp up is my fave, just thinking of possibilities. Ramp down being my second. No ramp could be cool, but i would put the 2 upper outer straight, and the lower one in the middle straight. That could have cool possibilities as well. Although pilots seat is in the top middle, i really like the 2 side entrances on top. Otherwise the walkway appears less useful. You could make 50 variants and somebody will complain. PS, love your work!

[@alexanderzemanek2590]

Ramp down for sure! I’ve been designing a ship in my head since I saw your previous WIP video with that bridge style lol having a CIC straight back from the bridge would be 👌👌

[@Acekiller1995]

No ramps is probably going to be the most universally liked and easiest to work around to start. But the one with the ramps going down is also cool. I feel like the last option only appeals to a very select group of builders imho

[@andymehmet8206]

more great designs my vote is for the ramp down bridge first. keep up the good work

[@ShaggyShagz13]

Center I'd be happy with any of the 3 bridges but the center connection is more flexible. I'm going to use whichever one you give us and be happy as hell for the upgrade from my Ares. Everything else is also great.

[@timelordn8987]

ramp up, got the perfect ship for it

[@rickstevens8888]

I really like the ramp down, but you're right, no ramps would be more compatible with builds.

[@anthonypadlo3509]

No ramps!! Way more versatile, I like the ramps but I feel like they will limit builds quite a lot.

[@Westicle]

Hope to see all added in however no ramps seems easiest to build with and more versatile

[@Yangy_Young]

*No ramps* is definitely my favourite of those, and it has my vote. It feels like it is easiest to build around that one. I will say though, the one with the bridges down is quite cool. Personally I think if you want ramps, the best thing to do is have them fully encased in a cuboid shape, or have the ramp shape continue across the full shape of where they're based? It just makes the section of the ship feel cleaner. It's a similar thing with windows. I love using your corridors on either interior sections of my ships or on either side, but that means having gaping windows to sections I don't want to. Having some panels or something to cover them would be grand! (I hate to feel like I'm begging or giving you more work, but hey, feedback is feedback and there's only so much because I *LOVE* your designs)

[@EdmondEnache]

I might be a bit late to the party but how about having the bridge and the ramps separated? You would have 4 possible entries on the bridge and the ramps as separate assets that you can attach to it based on needs. That would mean you only need to decorate/light/navmesh one bridge only. You can have 2 ramps in the list, one flipable and one straight but it would also allow you to use the bridge without any ramps or straight ramps on all entries. Just a thought…

[@benlewis8900]

Ramp Down. Love the OG.

[@larriejohnsonII]

Center connection

[@ImmenseBoom]

It makes more sense to me to only have 1 version of the cock pit, and use the ramps and corridors to make the other versions if we want/need. Plus if any changes need to be made it’s a couple less models to update. As far as how my idea would work, I’d say take option 2 and remove the 2 hallways. That way the entire back of the cockpit would be flat like the nova Cabot design. 3 possible entry points on each level. I don’t know how much work that would be so, following the same logic option 2 in my opinion would be the best stop gap, just to get the new bridge in the game in for version 3.0

[@gladosadoree]

My vote would be 'ramp up' (underhang), as it offers a unique feature in the game. I am beginning to get Derek, though, who says he's just following his ow vision, and can't be bothered with what others think. It's your baby, and, at the end of the day, you should just do what feels right to you.

[@mikeymondavi]

Just the ramps to use as hab connections for proper nacelles on ships =)

[@BearyCoolGaming76]

No ramps seems easiest to build with but they are all great

[@roberthatcher1224]

Ramp up please. All three are good, but I can use this one the most.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Center connection would be my vote. Alternatively, could you remove the ramps and center connection all together and give us entry snap points along the top and bottom of the cockpit itself (like the Cabot bridge). This way we could use your new ramps and passageways to create the entry configuration that would suit our needs?

[@Vanguard.Warship.Voyager]

Ramp down (original) The no ramp is to Cabot. And the ramp up, I just see being to hard to work into generic builds. I know it's not possible, but if the cockpit was 1 item and the ramps/straight walkway pieces were individual items then it could work as just 1 decorated cockpit with snaps for the various ramp options (or like a 'ramp plate' that contained all 3 entrances and just 'ramp plate a', 'plate b', 'plate c' to make the 3 different designs in game.

[@azboakes3900]

No ramps looks awesome

[@Nanarchy_2k7]

#RampUp I really like the idea of an underhung cockpit :D

[@theonlysjc]

Center all day.. Id be happy with any but that's my preference

[@VoltageupRS]

I’m a big fan of halo and i can already see a m class build for the pillar of autumn using the ramp up cockpit

[@davidfreeman4407]

To be fair I would like with ramps and without because it allows a little more complicated build design, the ramps going above the top of the cockpit is a very cool design. But I’m greedy and spend most of my time just building ships lol so having as many options as I can is always a big plus.

[@motobuha]

I like them all, I want all of them. I'd delay the release of 3.0 a week so you have the time to put all of them in.

[@gentugo]

Ramp up. I like that one.

[@stevenearlmills883]

No ramps but keep up the great work

[@SupermanRLSF]

Gday mate - I think having 6 doorway points 3 top 3 bottom that are flush and have the ramps separate will solve all issues

[@Onyx_Medic]

I love the ramps also how you ever thought of making an armor set that matches your ship set?

[@nuclear_panda86]

No Ramps Makes most sense for first one

[@ALPHABEASTACE]

I like ramps! What's a huge ship with ladders especially with cargo bays and stuff I think ramps fit

[@stevendukes149]

Is it not possible to do away with the up, down, centre hallways coming out of the back of the cockpit and just have 3 top and one centre bottom snap points that can become doorways as needed. That way you have one cockpit with all options and more. It would give the option of all 3 levels at once possible 4 if you snap a ramp to the bottom middle. Less work for you and even more fun for us ☺️

[@ryanmauer355]

Center only is my vote

[@MarlinMurphy-g7f]

I would also love to see you design a one-man fighter type cockpit even smaller than the ones we have now we're only one pilot or two pallets front and back seat pilots like your f-15s

[@guruniko123]

Do the ramps to the bridge have a door in-between? If so, can they be taken out? I juet think the view of walking up the ramp and seeing stars would be awesome!

[@matilija]

Yes, and No, I put the doors there because I want it to feel secure, while the game doesn't currently allow for pirates to board your ship, eventually, either by BGS themselves or through mods, they might, and I want it to be an extra layer of protection for the command crew on the ship. It's there for my own personal view on how to make it as immersive as possible.

[@jacobbradford7229]

Give us the ramp up version, a raised cockpit is usually better for combat. Also can we please get a large forward face radar dish that faces straight forward. I actually need it for my ship build.

[@avroarrow9950]

I think it would be better to not have ramps or connecting hallways be a part of the cockpit. I think it would be better to have the hallways and ramps be separate pieces so people can connect them going up, down, straight or even no hallways or ramps just straight into the habs for a more seamless look. It would also mean you only need one model of the cockpit with the 3 entryways.

[@sergiojmazure]

Awesome!!! Ramp!

[@TylerPonomarev]

No ramps would definitely fit my builds the best

[@ThorsonWiles]

Still, gotta say, I love all your work, and while I liked your original, the No-Ramp would probably be better for me.

[@dantardi7068]

Would be amazing to me to have bridge like uss enterprise where captains chair is where you pilot from.

[@DaAngryMechanic]

No ramps, but I do like the others. But no ramps first

[@corykauffman1764]

Ramp down but close second is ramp up

[@MarlinMurphy-g7f]

You could also have one ramp going up and one ramp going down I don't know if you thought about that or not then that solves two problems

[@jejejeje4698]

Is it possible to do the ramp without a airlock dorr?

[@B3yondB3li3f-id6hh]

Center connection/ no ramps

[@matthewkirk6905]

ramp up would be the choice/vote for me

[@Whoopski007]

[@Randomgirlkae]

No ramps is best

[@lyloweii9905]

Ramp down.

[@kinshukalucrin3141]

Heya mate. Do you have any clue as to why whenever I place windows they just dont show up? They'll appear on the exterior, but inside the ship they aint there. Any tips would be helpful. Also, your ship parts are the bollocks XD

[@matilija]

I'm not sure, I honestly haven't even tried on my end to test that, but I'll look into it when I get the chance.

[@matilija]

Actually, already found the issue, it will be fixed in V3.

[@CmdrGarcia]

Ramp down

[@mmmmmmmmmmoim]

Center connection, no ramps. That said since you are already developing the ramp by itself, why don't you just do a simple cockpit without ramps and without center connection like the Cabot C3 Bridge? Just the connection points and people can customize which ever they want.

[@matilija]

Because the Cabot already exists, I want mine to be unique to add more flavor to the game.

[@mmmmmmmmmmoim]

@@matilija If that is your vision, then I can only support it.
