FX17: No space legs and no atmospheric planets

Is this the dumbest post after FX competition?
Its up there.
Star Citizen may well take the lead here (eventually), but it has to become a game first. And (yes I do own it) that doesn't look like it's going to take place anytime soon.

This. As much as I'd like some hint that this is in the pipeline it has been made very clear that this is not going to be a feature for a while yet.
I would have loved some news on atmospheric planets but reading between the lines it sounds like FDev have sat down and after a long hard look at things decided that the current implementation of the planetary tech needs a second pass. As such the announced overhaul (new lighting model, new particle system) sounds like an investment that will lead toward that eventual goal. Given that we are still in the dark about the gameplay goals of atmospherics I'm happy to wait for them to get this right. There is also the possibility that we'll hear more next year as work progresses.
I'd be very careful about what your saying and how your interpreting the event.
Believe it when you see it.
We've all "seen" things announced in the past and they've turned out to be lemons.
Cough , power play, cough Multicrew.....
Just sayin!
Its not the impression I get although I will be very disappointed if atmospheric planets are never delivered.
I got as far as your thread title.
Anybody, anybody at all, who thought frakking space legs were going to be announced today is delusional. We have been told again and again, most recently THIS WEEK on THIS FORUM that any such gameplay is a long way away. What does it actually take to break through the carapace of some people's wish-fulfillment fantasies and make them accept reality?
Oh my days, I just read your last sentence. I'm off to change my pants.

perfect emote for this unbelievable biased low steamed statement...
Seriously? You think that SC is in the lead? Dude...!:O
SC just looks like its desperately flailing around and playing catch up to the latest thing that caught Chris Roberts's eye this week.
For that 163 mil and counting what they've produced so far is a joke.

(don't care about legs and i was already quite sure that atmo landings is way beyond their capacity right now)
No Space Legs wasn't a surprise. It was confirmed a few days ago that space legs wouldn't be announced at the Expo: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Speculation?p=5990260&viewfull=1#post5990260
I guess that means you'll not be posting on the forums or playing anymore. I mean anything else would logically be hypocritical. Sorry to see you go.
What? Very likely Cmdrs will be first able to engage in meaningful clan gameplay with their own carriers and dedicated missions for groups. The game already has the mighty BGS.
I wouldn't want them to announce or even hint at these things until they are very close to done with them. You're talking about two additional game modes, essentially, that have to be layered into the existing game. One of them has to have enough variation that it's not like visiting the same planet. The other has to account for outside ships, physics, and collisions with other players that can be in your ship. It's a headache. The fact you mentioned SC is amusing, because they have not yet solved these problems and they've been selling pictures of ships for years.
While I agree it's taking a long time, I think after alpha 3.0 comes out before Xmas, you might be eating your words.
Time will tell.

Just saw the show.
well ...
not a complete disappointment, But also not what I hoped for.
For me, caring mainly about a more interesting universe to explore, this means waiting for spring 2018 until they redo/improve color maps for planets and almost a full year for more realistic landscapes (something I hoped they would achieve during 2017).
I don't care about free updates. I would purchase another full price fee, if they would finally give us more planet types to land on. But anyway, I also understand that making the game itself more interesting for everybody has to be a primary goal.

Wait, a published playable game is second place to a endless tech demo that is the KING of promises and sells ships for hundreds of real pounds?
Some of you haters are just so funny. Please, go play your tech demo, and please leave these forums as well.
BWAAAHAHAHAHA..... c'mon to compete there need to to be something to compete about, SC is not released, it's not even a game yet
