This is looking awesome!

In a completely constructive note, though, I really hope there is some work being done towards improving the suspension animations. Look at that curve at minute 2:13! :S

Cool video. I am wondering whether a long distance rallye would be possible - drive from one ground starport to another one on the same planet, without using your ship in between. With the collectibles crafting gameplay, can the SRV refuel itself in situ, or does it have to call and enter the ship for that?

This would be more up my alley, if I recall correctly there will be a way for SRVs to refuel themselves with scavenged materials...ohhhhh the possibilities, circumnavigation events (such as the buckyball run) on the moon! No outside aid available, success or self destruction....yup, gonna have to go all the way around a moon somewhere, add that to the bucket list.

A way to make these races even more interesting is to get a few players in federal corvettes over the top of a section randomly firing 2 C4 PAs at the racers.

So I notice that your wing-mate has "sentry" beneath his name......is this significant? Having not played with Wings before, maybe its something that has always been there!

It's showing what his wingmate is currently targeting (while the SRV we're viewing through has the SRV ahead of it targetted)

Good thing Frontier spent all these resources on dune buggies instead of adding actual content to the game. Really? Dune buggies? 404 Content Not Found.

That giant base is really cool but I can't help noticing how nobody's there apart from the players.FPS and human models should have come first.
Oh well.

Yep. Oh well. The dev is homing in on that sort of thing anyway; First (FD said "let there be light") 400bn stars Galaxy (big). Next star systems (pretty big) then planets (quite big). Anaconda -> sidewinder, ships big to small, SRV is smaller, FPS will be smallest. First building the world (the installation) then populating it, makes sense as you choose which interaction to make, yourself.

I do wonder perhaps if we will get some atmospheric planets after all. In the initial announcement for season one they chose their words very carefully saying "airless" worlds, of course an atmosphere isn't necessarily air.

True. Plus "atmos" (greek: atmos, meaning vapour) "sphere" (greek: sphaira, globe, sphere) .. so you can have gases without it being an atmosphere. If the whole planet is covered with gas, that pretty much is an atmos-sphere.

Thank you for another sneak peek. Just little note - there won't be wheel tracks in the dirt visible or it is just still work in progress too? :)

Will be nice (we see that on mined asteroids). Just let me upgrade my computer first!? Cheers.
