Planetary landings/atmospheric flight will be great - something I've looked forward to for a while. I just hope FD remembers that there has to be stuff to do once you get to the surface... even if there's not to begin with, I just hope they don't forget to fill in the blanks later.

I'm hoping what we have right now is basically a big Mad Libs book - they're building the skeleton before putting all the meat on. I remain optimistic.

I'd like to hear something as simple as "if you get attacked by a ship and you end up destroying that ship, you get to salvage their cargo (or even parts of their ship) as legal cargo.

As simple as that sounds, this would actually be a huge announcement for ED. And...a step in the right direction for this flight sim.

I look at it like this: Planetary landings? GREAT! Give explorers who want to land and check out planets the ability to do more detailed scanning and the like. I think that would be awesome.

I can also see it like this: Planetary landings? BOOOO! There is nothing for me to do down there!

I think some explorers will see it as a great opportunity to have more fun and more things to do other than just run around, scan a system, rinse and repeat. If you find a planet that is interesting, like say an earth like, then that would be pretty cool to land on. I mostly see the second thought for players that pretty much do everything else and stay within the bubble of known space. I think it will be a niche thing to begin with until FD, like you mentioned, put in the meat for planet side stuff.

I like how cheese souffle is leading the polls. At least our hopes aren't up to high. If it's anything more then we'd all be happy. If it's just cheese souffle, well at least we won't have hungry pilots anymore.

I'm still looking for stuff to do in space!! Like salvage parts from old, derelict ships, or discover secret pirate bases, or build my own secret pirate base, or blow-up someone else's secret pirate base. Something...anything to make this world feel more alive.

So until they can populate "space" with more things to do (and by that I mean give us more tools to affect change in our surroundings so that we can create our own adventures) I'm not really interested in planetary landings as I see them as just another passive tourist trap.

Give me tools to create, destroy and modify the already massive world around me!! (please!)

This is the single best thing that should be part of the game. BOOOO to stolen flags on free floating cargo.... I mean why? what idiot thought that was a good idea? Smuggling should be reserved for narcotics, slaves, weapons and explosives.. (Although in a grown up world where narcotics should be decriminalized and dealt with as a healthcare issue[and taxed] smuggling should be for slaves and weapons and explosives).
