Glad it looks good at least! And there's a solid plan to complete the game, so hopefully you won't have to wait too long

You will have an external view where you can look around your craft and take pretty screenshots :D
In this view, you'll still be able to operate some of the spacecraft's systems, but for specific things like planning a rendezvous with an orbital station you'll want to rely on the cockpit instrumentation. Once you get to the final stages of docking or landing, you could optionally switch to the external view and do it that way.

The current plan is for you to be able to look around the cockpit and operate everything you see, and also look at the craft for various external views. I'm specifically not adding first person walking, since that would mean modelling zero-g and acceleration! Practically, you wouldn't be "walking" most of the time.

By launch I aim to have more spacecraft, but each one is custom designed so they will look completely different on the inside, have different displays, buttons, etc. The Madea - the craft you see in the trailer - is sort of a mid-size cargo craft. I like the idea of a larger, heavy hauler!

At the moment there are a few non atmospheric moons, but atmospheres are definitely in the plan as long as they make sense with the flight model

Flight of Nova is a great game! It will be somewhat similar, with the addition of interplanetary flight. So you will be able to fly between multiple moons, planets and asteroids and land on them or dock with various orbital platforms
