    when this releases id love to make my own mod for an etk 800 i6 swap like the one nightride are doing with an rx7 b58 swap, do we have permission to make addons? If not then id just make them privately and not share

    2137 is a funny easter egg

    Q-Spec maybe? (basically the same distance between the keyboard buttons)

    Of course I don't mind
    there'll be some terms to making add-ons but for now we're far away from a release anyway

    can you put more lore friendliness design of your own to this as stock variant and ofc the mazda rx7 look would be a variant too

    i meant, add your own original designs and quirks implemented into the car for much better lore friendliness and originality, and design like hirochi would. and many lore friendly mods do. not an exact 1:1 rx7 design but a hirochi starling of your own

    What exactly will the Starling feature in terms of luxuries? if it's paid, surely we'll have above-CCF interior quality?

    i think he was mocking me asking for the bare maximum for a paid mod. I have a third party FD RX-7 and i'd still happily pay for this car if there was more to do than "open panels, turn the hazards on, and interact with a slight few switches, windows included" - Royal Renderings' S650 is a good example for paid-tier interior quality.

    royel renderings is a good example for putting all your points into a single stat
    its a stolen model, it is horribly optimized, and on release it literally had unrenamed etk k series files, showing its just an etk k series meshslap
    the interactivity on the interior is fine, but its very much a complete gimmick to cover up the lack of quality everywhere. i would much prefer 0 of those gimmicks and more bodykits, engine tuning and better driving dynamics.

    okay let me clarify

    interior quality. interior quality, interior quality, interior quality, interior quality, interior quality.
    everything else is ROYAL ass, pun intended, but interior quality on that level is what I always look for in paid mods.
    Edit: The CCF and Vertex are great examples of what a paid mod should be at the cheap, bare minimum - not just interior but overall.

    idk man it depends on the modder

    my paid mod im working on is going to have a much bigger focus on engine tuning and realism since thats what i like, you like interior blabbles but maybe traxr doesnt, and he wants to go all in in tuning and bodykits for it.

    tbh parts availability and driving experience offsets an interior quite well; CEEP being a good example

    "yeah, i'm NOT supposed to iron duke swap a D15, but i am anyways because i can"

    Everyone got a different definition of paid tier interior quality, for me it's:
    -High quality model and textures
    -Customization
    And it'd be cool to see working windows, and some basic triggers.
    And that's what you can expect, I don't find stuff like glovebox or working wipers something I wanna spend my time on, it's a waste of time for me. Besides that there's not much I can add in a 90s sports car.
