No internal ramps or stairs to use in ship designs??

[Palad1n]

Why are ladders the only option? With as big and roomy as the ships are, why do we have no options for ramps to go up 1 level? I understand where ladders may be needed in some situations, but even the larger cruisers you dock with have ramps on their ships, so why can't we use those?

Ramps and stairs are space inefficient. Particularly in a situation where you might be experiencing zero gravity conditions.

I don't even use the ladders its faster to boost pack to the upper floors. the ladder animation is so damn slow.

no artificial gravity in far future?

I have had zero issues with zero gravity maneuvering. Having the option to use ramps instead of a ladder would be a nice feature to have, since it is already in the game on larger ships.

BTW, you can actually build large ships, up to 80m, but most folks seem to stay within 40m or less.

So do I, but from a space ship construction standpoint. Ladders make perfect sense.

The ladders aren't even 100% working. If there's more than two floors good luck getting off the ladder on any of the middle floors. And often I've boarded ships where the ladder exits you THROUGH A SIDE PANEL at the top of the ladder.

all strategy games with terraforming have artificial gravity generators and other cool stuff. Why this game can't have cool stuff?

Artificial gravity is a thing. Sadly. Would be a lot more entertaining to have Zero G in our own ships.

Never had an issue with them...

Its not a matter of gameplay.
Its a matter of worldbuilding.
The ladders are for the lore of moving around zero G situations, part of the Nasa punk aesthetic. Similarly even the largest ships you can build are still small ships in the context of the universe. The ships that one sees ramps used are things like colony ships, which are at an entirely different scale.

Starfield provides no support for the differently abled ingame. In fact, they pretend everyone is able bodied. This lack of proper representation is pathetic and purposely discriminatory. I'm calling Twitter on Todd.

Exception: apparently there is a Nova cockpit that has stairs.

[Ammikaameri]

But you do have stairs in addition to ladders. Google should help finding which modules have stairs.

[Morvoldo]

if you use the nova cockpit with the stairs you can make a 2 story ship layout With No ladders, just wish the entrance ramp had a door like other ships do, or have i missed it lol

go right or left when you get to the floor you want.
