I done a search regarding this not a long one :(

Also, to assist others, help with searching, stay on topic and to even find this thread again (in a week or a year) I recommend a thread subject line that includes specifically what your thread is about. Including keywords others would use in a search (ie. planet landing out of ship RPG, etc.) would help me and I'm guessing others too? Thanks!

Yeah I wonder if I can change!!

You can only request a moderator change it after you submit it.
I only mentioned it because you have several threads going that are extremely ambiguous as to their meaning if you are scanning new posts or a forum one of your threads is in. Not pointing fingers, just trying to help make the forums easier on everyone. As you must be aware by 'searching by thread' it's hard to find info if the subject of the thread is ambiguous?
 
Although I don't doubt the skills of the Frontier team, I feel that to try and create full planet walkabouts at the moment would be a step too far.

Walkabouts inside orbital space ships, or even planetside space stations, (ie for black market deals, trading, socialisation, just to walk round your ships) is a much more realistic proposition
 
Mm disagree Elite is RPG..
But in space...
Only if you dress up in a flying helmet...

It can be classified anyway you like Sim, Trading game, Sandbox action game etc...

I refuse to accept this as an RPG... as to me that means Dragons, Wizards and 20 sided dice...

Each to his own I guess

Not that type of roll the dice RPG...

You play ur role as Cmdr ??? & what you do has an effect about you..
Open ended game.. Do this that whatever u want..
Not like d&d rpg's this is in space....
 
I consider it a Space SBG (sand box game). Of course, pretty much ANY game could be considered a RPG that allows any variance in how you play the game?
Technically it could be called a RPG but I prefer a unique distinction for what I feel is a unique game. YMMV

This is where we will have to disagree.

The game gives me a title as Commander but I do not assume that role... where you see a role I just see a ship to fly and that's all I want to do... anything else is just fluff

This is not Mass Effect... I have no role of Good Commander Shepard or Bad Commander Shepard...
 
How dare you?!...

I still shudder to think how this 'leaving the spaceship' thing will turn out...

Leaving your spaceship?! Who ever heard such nonsense?!

Who in their right mind would even consider doing such a thing?! Outrageous!... Blasphemy!...

Spaceships have feelings too you know... Tread carefully boyo...
 
Its way too soon to guess what the available items will be at the moment, although I would guess it will just be a variation of clothing and hand held weapons come the time. (...)
(I take this post as exemplarily for the many others, who object to this point)

Fair enough, it's way to early for speculation or discussions about decisions possibly made already. But imo it can never be to early for exchanging ideas of new features and how these could be placed in future extensions.


I hope there is an endless supply of items we can buy weapons, binos, camping equipment.. When on a planet.. If out on a hunt.. Cameras, PDAs, watch, :D tooth brush.. The list is endless.

I know it was ment as a joke (and really made me grin widely), but i love the idea about the tooth brush and how NPCs might react to you if you don't have one (or use it) if you meet them face to face.
Mundgeruch macht einsam (Bad breath makes lonely) :p.

Just now i'm wondering if ships will have a bathroom (or do pilots have to rely on plastic bags and wet towels for personal hygiene :S) and how a zero-g-shower might work (they had one on the skylab iirc).
 
The Spaceship is your character for now. It comes with many needs, and lots of cool gear. Some day, maybe we can get up and enter the domain of the mini bar. And then we will have come very far. :)
 
At first, I would be already very satisfied to have the planetary landings, and to be able to overfly the planets, to take photos of secret bases and bombard military bases. And of course above all, admire the landscapes
 
Me - I am looking forward to this FPS mode. Having watched the trailer for Outsider I am fascinated to see where FD choose to take us.

There are the obvious like space walks and space station exploration are obvious but there are so many avenues.

Knowing that some people want to fly over military bases, it crosses my mind that those who want the FPS mode could be in that military base. Flying over such a base is normally a hostile act, so could there be a possibility of npc ground fire or the FPS player shooting back.

Exciting times ahead I think
