When we get to walk around planets and stations...

[Hexen]

What will be first thing you plan to do? You get off your ship and...

Me? I want myself some huge (to the point of being silly) pirate hat and "Yarrr!" at everyone I come across Yarr matey! Gimme sum rum you scoundrels!

 

[gozulio]

if/when they do get planetside implemented... i am hoping that we will be able to fly through gas giants... murky cloudy atmospheres... possibly with spooky tentacle monsters that (when provoked) will grab your ship and pull you into the crushing depths of the planet!

 

[Andromalius]

Wouldn't expect that before one year.

First thing I'll do is explore the chasms, plains and tunnels on Ice planets.

Something about Ice planets..

Hopefully not until after we get the full background simulation, persistent NPC, decent multiplayer/coop/chat and bunch of other much more important stuff.

 

[Pennyblack]

I'm not expecting much when planetary landing is implemented, not at first. I do expect progressive updates, as seems to be the norm.

I bought this game to fly a spaceship.

Walking around stations is at best a cosmetic nicety that will probably be quite annoying and would unnecessarily divert development attention from improving the core of the game.

Not sure what the planet based stuff will add either really, although I do like the idea of flying in a planetary atmosphere.

I hope you can buy planets or moons.

I'd love to be able to do this.

I second that. Gigantic chasms, miles deep, would be cool to fly through. There could be installations anchored to the chasm walls and such.

Find me a nice snow-covered planet and inscribe my commander name in BIG YELLOW LETTERS.

Feels like I haven't had a leak in months...

yes YOU bought this game to fly a spaceship.
others like me buy it for the expansion packs that are soon to come like ship interiors and orbitals.....its going to be 2015 soon its really about time we have a "space GTA"
now im not saying that i dont want "base game" improvements and updates but i definitely dont just want a space flight sim.

lol, that too!

 

[Eswaddica]

Find a toilet, i'm busting. For the last ages I have had to resort to a bottle and an only just in reach air lock to blast its contents into space. Also get those sores on my butt looked at, I've been sitting in this chair for far to long now.

And without a doubt there will be a Star Wars reference somewhere to be found

This is the main reason why I love planetary landings in games

[Devilizer]

I'm going to go to Earth and see if Mr Braben is still alive in 3300

My answer is in this song.

Because it's cool.

That would be really nice. And of course you would charge fees for landing permissions or trades.
And give the planet a new name.

One planet max. for every player.

I'm with Iardarz on this one. I Like the idea of having to negotiate a re-entry without burning up and landing at a space port to peruse the various bulletin boards, commodities markets and such, but that's as far as it goes for ME. The thought of wandering around in the guise of a computer generated avatar, and bumping in to other computer generated avatars doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Even though i get free expansions as a KS backer, a 'walking about' expansion is one expansion I won't be installing.

I want to be a Han Solo, not a Dr Livingstone.
