I'm pretty sure that with that attitude Frontier could provide you the moon on a stick and you still wouldn't be happy. Maybe it's just this games not for you?
When we get to walk around planets and stations...

I think the most important part is the planetside stuff, being able to get out of my ship. I am a person, I am not a space ship. It's a space game, but in any good space epic, you get out and explore exotic planets, get in fights on foot, interact with other people!
Not everyone thinks that, of course, but that's definitely what's most important to me. I'm so excited for those updates.
I'm looking forward to being able to get out of the cockpit of my ship and walk around it. This would certainly help to make the ship seem far more real and tangible, as well as making the bigger ships more desirable to own. I suspect they'll implement this first, as you'd need the first person mechanics working well before doing anything else with it.
Really looking forward to seeing the views out an orbis station from the agricultural ring. Something like this perhaps?

Sorry, but I completely disagree. I think the easiest thing to implement will be getting close to and landing on uninhabited planets with no atmosphere. Do you really think they have all this procedural generation working to produce the scapes we see from a distance and that THEY aren't already going there to see what it looks like close up??!!
The challenge for them is the inhabited planets and the ones with atmospheres. I really hope they do a phased approach - Lifeless, airless planets and moons (with bases) - Then atmospheres (with more bases) - Then the planets with Flora and eventually Fauna and cities etc.
Exactly. And if you can afford it then maybe set up your own space port or space station.
Best song ever made...ever! IMHO. I must have heard it a million times by now and I'm still loving it.
EDIT: Oh, btw, the first thing I'll do when we get to leave the Commanders chair, will probably be an E.V.A. close to an earth like planet. Just for the views and the screenshots. But first, they should give us some sort of character creation like EVE has. It's the coolest feature of EVE no doubt.

I'm opposite.
One aspect I liked with wing commander was in between missions you don't just have a ui or load screen, you got to chat with the other pilots and get the mission briefing. This added a huge element of immersion and background to the game.
Literally living in a cockpit for 100% of the time doesn't deliver that.
I'm not so bothered about walking on planets - certainly less having some kind of fps experience; I'll be more than happy to be able to fly around and sight see and fight and trade on planets in my ship - but being able to use stations and my ship interior, both of which have been crafted to allow this, is going to add a lot to the game.

Where did you get that cool 4D cube?
What would be the point of walking around on a planet? There is no game mechanism that would benefit from it
I'm not holding out a lot of hope for out-of-ship gameplay in the future. Just being able to visit starports on the surface will be enough for me.
Procedurally generating a whole galaxy at the resolution of an FPS without being totally bland or samey? I'd love to see it (and the developers of No Mans Sky think it's possible) but I won't be holding my breath.

i thought even backers had to buy the season pass
you really having that much trouble figuring out how it could possibly benefit the gameplay experience? i mean imagine being able to vist one of the capital cities. or a village. you know....space gta...
i mean unless youre one of those people that just like driving games and not getting out of the car
actually its not going to be 100% procedural generated. just the parts that dont need humans to do but takes alot of time. thsi saves money for the much more cooler stuff.
and procedural generation is getting very advanced in the late years.
actually you should look up "big hero 6" and its devolpment that who san fran town was procedural generated and then a team went through it and put some features in it.
what i cant wait to see is how they combine procedural generation and hand made aspects of the planets.
If we get to walk around stations and ships the first place I'm going to find is the toilet.
You should buy the 'commode' module then ... far easier ... .
