I'm no gaming expert or Bethesda fanboy, but didn't someone the other day confirm that there is actual space travel in the game, it just takes days to get to another planet?
The engine works by having square areas of playable in-game sections called cells. Unless the devs created enough cells between planets, and have them in the same world space, for a player to travel in that's not possible.
I am curious and exited to hear what tricks they have used.
Theres nothing in the engine reqiring to fill every cell between two cells. Might as well be empty space, or cells with random generated terrain.
Also how are they doing the ship interior cell? Loading a cell without removing the old? Why aren't they using the same thing for interior windows in houses then?
They do for some, I think it's to avoid unwanted AI interactions if something happens inside the house.
