Its a good read, I just wonder how long until we see this in the game.
Rare post from Chris Roberts on forums about Room Systems

first!
now I know why my Freelancer with only one turret has space for a crew of four

Thank you, Glorious Leader!
I'll be flying my ship around vented to space all the time. No air, no fire, Invulnerable Aurora!

Just like the crew of the Rocinante did in The Expanse, knowing they'd get shot up. No fires, no concussion blasts from explosions, no worries about loss of oxygen.
C.R. has entered the building! Awesome!
I was thinking folks... game play has to be fun, even in simulators. Problem is I am not sure how "fun" his example would be? It is a big gamble for devoting tech. money, and time to it. There are many games that had bad play mechanics ideas, and I applaud them for the creativity, but to me it sounds like more work than is necessary.
I don't know what the right answer is, but I do not think this is it. First this game is in the setting of the future... today we have fire suppression system and the people in the early 1900s would not be even able to imagine. I would expect... since the game has space ships, the AI for the ship could handle most of it with some minimal tasks for players to perform (probably at a terminal deploying the nanites or something).
I personally like to build and fix stuff, and I will probably take the role as an engineer/miner/scientist instead of an attack pilot, but this idea just does not sound that appealing to me.
His example is written like a movie script, and that action is great, but I am just not getting a warm fuzzy here. We'll see.

As fas as I know SC ship doen't have and AI, but a "simple" assistance computer, that mean not automatical decision on the ship size.
Also CIG always state that SC will have a general feeling like StarWars, with WW2 combat and ship mechanics, that's why we also have manned turret and non light-speed laser weapons...
The lore in the 'Verse is following the loss of the Generation Ship Arteimis with its AI pilot Janus, humanities faith in AI was dashed and all efforts to develop it further were banned:

This lore explains why the 'Verse remains as hands-on as it is.
Artemis
Artemis was the first interstellar starship built for a long-distance colonization by Humanity. The Artemis belonged to the Chariot-class designed by Roberts Space...

Whatever they do I hope its fun... because if not, no one will want to do it.
If they really wanted that, they need to slow ships speeds down another 50%
So... to the engineering point... lets start with a good HUD... then we can talk about engineering. My son has been playing VTOL VR - He wants to go to the AF Academy (Working on his resume at age 12). Anyway this is a hud for a F/A-26B.

So Chris did a follow up post and in it was a great bit of what teams are working on what.

I always figured most of the teams were working on Squadron 42 assets and given their not wanting to spoil it is why so much work doesn't seem to be showing up in the PU releases. But its great to see Chris talk about it.
