Yeah yeah another space legs thread... however I feel there is more evidence to support the possibility of 2019 being a space legs year.
1. Frontier seemed to have listened when it came to mining, squadrons and missions. All features the community wanted improved. Therefore using this theory Space Legs must be something FDev is heavily considering as we ask for it so often, it's also a lot less work than atmos planets.
2. New structures and mega ships. All the structures and megaships just give me this feeling when I jump into an area that they are waiting to be boarded. Now I know we have scenario missions for some of them but in my home system there are a couple of structures you can see and scan. I just feel like they are waiting for me to dock n board them.
3. Type 9s abandoned in Signal Sources. I keep jumping into signal sources with Type 9s just floating there with cargo all over the place. A lot of these used to be wreckage and rubble but now they are just floating there intact. Again I feel like I could just fly close and board them.
4. No new SRV or ground vehicle since Horizons! Surely by now we'd expect another ground vehicle, maybe Fdev is working on character walking rather than these? They are currently the only method of leaving ship.
Obviously we have the Thargoid and Guardian structures from previous patches and Fdev added the commander creator a while back. We have lots of random generated ground bases on planets which could easily be docked at with an SRV.
I almost feel like Fdev might go for a holo projection of our commanders when we walk around ships.
Finally we've been told the next big part of Elite has gone into full production. Horizons was the first big change/update so with what space legs brings it's easy to argue it will be done over chapters.
