Hah! Good question. Your ship does take off and follow you if you get too far away, but if you fall to the centre of the planet...
We're going to need caves. Big, DEEP caves.
Thanks for the stream. The planets look awesome! Tried to ask a Q, but the comments were flying by, so here goes.
Is it conceivable that you could return to a planet that you'd previously visited, and a new impact had occurred
since your last visit?
I guess what this question boils down to is, does Stellar Forge create the galaxy and then it remains static, or do new events happen which could change a planet's surface? If the former, are there plans (however far ahead in development they may be) to implement the latter? Cheers!

"Horizons" just opens up so many questions and possibilties... the planets in the bubble I'd imagine would have pre-discovered features so mountian ranges, valleys and plains would all have names?
If you refer to the reveal video from last friday, that was from last friday. They just mentioned it.But they hinted that there have been improvements since then.
You're quite right
Question:
Is there going to be a big impact on performance? I'm already threading the needle with my current setup. Because I'm poor.

I missed that, good to know! I guess I'll have to get all the "ramping off the edge of 1km deep canyons" out of my system during Beta! Unless someone sets up "Buggy Rats".

Looks awesome FD ... credit to the Devs!

I just saw the live stream ... and I must say
It sucked in so many ways !!!
... that there was still no start of the beta test announced!!!
No, seriously. I loved it!
If you guys manage to make the stuff we saw in the stream playable, I will be so happy with rocky and icy planets for a while, I promise not to ask you for an overhaul of the rest of the planets in at least 1 month!!
no, seriously. Awesome work! Don't miss keeping us up to date! xD

Yes, it's amazing what tens of devs can do in 9 months. Can't wait.

I can't get over the scale. You see something and think "ah ok, tha's a reasonable size", then you realise the camer is a a long way out and it's freaking huge!
They said they had some tricks to deal with it. We also won't be cruising 1-2km above the surface at 8km/s I don't believe, so it shouldn't be as apparent as it was in the stream in some of the videos.
we need one of those planets to zoom out from a banana model ( for scale ), all the way to the present orbit cutout distance
Well that goes way beyond what I was imagining technically. Even after seeing last weeks video I was worrying it might just be noisy height maps. Fantastic. And nebula rises!
As an explorer who just enjoys pootling about looking at sunsets and stroking my (imaginary) beard about the planetary data this is a dream come true.
I'll probably spend the rest of my ELITE time just looking for the perfect holiday snap.

Quick price question - I bought ED on Steam, when I order the Beta, it's saying £50 - when is the discount applied?
I love the fact that even the Devs themselves will have only seen a fraction of the worlds to explore on release...
