Maybe more rovers, tanks, racers, etc.?

I have no idea on the timelines & context of the information, so if either of these are true I'd love confirmation so I can stop dreaming about something more!

I've found myself getting excited about launching fighters because, apart from Crafting, the rest of the major content coming in Horizons seems really group based...

I haven't got the time at the moment to look for the clip - but if you look for one of the recent live-streams with Ed Symons on you will see him talking about the Avatar system and also mentioning that it was the thing he wanted to talk about during the planetary landing reveal as he has been working on avatars for so long.

1. Fix for instancing.
2. Fix for missions.
3. Mechanics for encouraging more multiplayer play.

that would make me excited.

1. Improvements to this has been ongoing with every build they've released. (More work on this is needed...)
2. Improvements to this has been ongoing with every build they've released. (More work on missions is always needed...)
3. Last year they gave us 1.1 (CGs), 1.2 (Co-Op play), 1.3 (Powerplay, "metaplay" Groups vs groups) and 1.4 (CQC, PvP). In other words...see 1 and 2.

So you should already be rather excited... ;):p

Whilst the suggestion of Avatars is a good one, I really hope it is not Avatars - as it won't add anything but "fluff" to the game (unless there's something I am missing).

I fail to see how fluff can be "more exciting than planetary landings".

I cautiously hope to be surprised, however :)

Avatar creation tools are a huge building block to getting out of your chair and moving around on foot...also it's what is going to be used to generate NPCs later that you'll meet face to face with all likelihood. Pretty big thing to move the game forward IMO. ;)

To add to that, the reason that Ed Symons is more excited about Avatars than planetary landings is the fact that it's the feature HE has been working on.

I really think that Avatas is a good reason to be excited, just think about it.

Avatar generation could very well be the first step to a very large improvement in ED.

Like instead of text messages, there could be a window showing the avatar of your interlocutor, we could finally see NPC roaming around stations, NPC crew when multicrew goes live, passengers, etc........

Personally I'm pretty excited about this, perhaps just as much as when planetary landings where first introduced. :)

For the laughs, here's what the OP looks like on my end:

That time when your tacky colour choice totally makes your post stand out :D
