Agree here. Although wings added much need multiplayer functionality, I rarely use it as I like to do my own thing rather than fly wiith others. I like to meet up with friends sometimes and pop NPCs for fun.

Is it tomorrow yet? *taps watch impatiently*
What's a decent percentage? What if the "same new audience" makes up the vast majority of the ED player base? How do you know you aren't just part of a vocal minority?
What you really want, and it's okay to say it, is for Frontier to implement some of the game mechanics that *you* think are missing and that would improve *your* enjoyment of the game. My preferences are similar to yours, and my hope is that even though we're probably now a minority, Frontier aren't too far gone that they'll still spare us a thought when it comes to future updates. I'm not going to be so melodramatic as to say that I'll give up on the game if the next update isn't to my taste -- and I'm not convinced anyone would particularly care if I upped and left -- but we're getting to the point where the future of the game will start to become clear. Is it a game predominantly for the pew pew crowd with lots of time on their hands? Is it a game that delivers depth and fun both in the short- and long-term? Can Frontier really deliver something for everyone?
I can't believe we're analyzing a paper mache surface...
Oh wait I can

Not a best kept secret was it? 
The surface is new. So it's been back to the model makers?
It doesn't mean anything though. Maybe they just thought it looked better.
teeeheeee
that eagle has landed ^^

I think it will be splandings.
I'm not sure if it will be seamless or not.
I think what will be shown will look pretty.
Next to no information will be provided on why it makes the game better other than a new place to dock.
Won't be out till next year, probably May 2016.
Many people will react like it's the second coming of Christ.
Many other people will think "Is that it?"
Between now and then 1.4 will release, it will be CQC + ships + fixes, no real new content.
I peg that release to be Nov/Dec time.

This really seemed like a no-brainer CG. I've been asking for this construction tied to anything at this point (guilds, houses, factions, etc) Hell, I don't care if it's just me building the thing and it takes 5 years. Explorers have been steadily working their way out from the bubble into the anarchy of deep space and finding systems. There are stations deep in the black with no functional way of connecting with the trade model. We need to be able to build stations in viable systems. Whatever system of expansion ED is using is not visible to me. I'm not even sure they are adding stations, and if they are at what rate? Anyone every seen a post about new stations being added?
Just give the option to do so and let the players do the political footwork to get it done. Whenever people mention guilds, the first response is EVE (which I've never played, seen it - looked sorta stupid). A group of friends, people with a common goal, group chat on Teamspeak, a station to call home that comes with a storage facility, a dock, a guild bank, etc. Yes, why not? Player joins, asks to join a guild/house (I prefer house) he does his duty, the house gives him a new ship. Eh! Sure, why not? It's house business right?
But a colossal change would be required for this. COLOSSAL! Is planetary landing colossal? Perhaps if it contained everything you wanted (which I suspect will be very very difficult to achieve). Is it the Thargoids? I don't think so. Although the Ancient artifact is very interesting, I think this is an Easter egg for Christmas or later.

Will be when it turns out not to be what everyone is now thinking it is.
Built myself up for massive disappointment if it's not said landings now. might go postal.
You are aware of the dev posts stating clearly that landings are not being announced, right? Oh, wait...I get it, your just making an excuse for a noob rampage in the starter system. Carry on!
Landings was the only thing they didn't rule out last I seen.
Fly into Ice planets and re-live that Star Destroyer meets Death Star thing in SW Ep.6?
Planetary crashes....never been mentioned yet.
No dev quotes said that getting up and walking in your ship/stations aren't being announced. no such thing was said about landings. feel free to prove me wrong.
