What do you want from space legs?

Legs adds a lot of additional mechanics for explorers. Foot exploration, caverns / caves, mineral deposits fauna / flora reveal.
Legs also adds additional options to facilitate ship repairs from the inside. It also could allow proper co-operative crews aboard ships, if players can opt in to manage parts of a ship. Different ships would have varying accommodation for crew quarters.

Elite is a superb space game, adding space legs just enhances the freedom of choices one is presented with in order to indulge in this ridiculous crazy galaxy backdrop we all greatly admire.

Whilst legs need not be a mandatory game component, it would for certain add a level of immersion few games out there provide.
 
Powercreep against what exactly. What are you fighting against in Jurassic World Evolutions. Do the weapons get more powerful?

There's no (well non tangental) combat in jurassic world evolution, but in the context of a park builder, one of them added the ability to keep more than one large predator together which was pretty much a game changer (inside your own head) and the second one added superfoods.

This might be considered a waste of a post.. except what do you think we're getting in base building? stamp stamp. I might have finally learnt how to use frontiers pathing tool by then.
 
Horizons is still optional.
This "optional" argument is really starting to irk me.

99.99% of everything in this game is "optional".
I can play in solo and never even low wake, while I'm RPing that I'm the last survivor and defending my station from the aliens that are somewhere out there.
I believe that would make pretty much everything in this game completely optional.
 
Space legs I want. FPS not so much.

I want to see the rest of the inside of my ship. I want to walk in to the station a look out of those windows overlooking my parked ship. I want to get out of my srv and wander around on the surface.

I also want some interesting gameplay associated with the above. Meeting up with someone in a bar to get a smuggling mission. Going in to an abandoned surface base to recover data. Searching for rare materials in SRV inaccessible places.

If there were no hand held weapons in the game ever I would be quite happy.

This pretty much sums up where I am with space legs.
 
not really. You need legs to run around. You don’t need to land on a planet to engineer (as has now been demonstrated by remote engineering....)
You do need to land in order to unlock and level engineers, just like you'll have to use your legs to either unlock new engineers or to further level up the existing ones. Mark my words.

That doesn't stop it from being true though.
 
I’m sure than after the 2020 update everyone will be too busy building their own bases and spending real money on designer furnishings so they can run around and bash their shins into the coffee table and PVP interior design will be the new thing. Gankers will sneak into other people’s bases and drop Ikea furniture.

who the hell put an Ikea Flübort next to my Barcelona chairs?????”

rage quit!
 
1) I want them to explain to me how they’re going to work with a HOTAS in VR and then...

2) I want them to walk away. Very far away.

Err, I assume any reasonable person would grab a gamepad for spacelegs in VR. And if you don't wanna, you can just stay in your seat and sulk there. (y)
 
I'd want FPS mining to be more interesting than shooting a laser at a rock. Other games like NMS already have that, and it gets damn tedious after 15min.

Nah, I love mining in NMS I do it even if I don't need to......but opening up my suits cargo hatch and collecting rocks in Elite Space legs will be a pain. ;)

So all it added was functionality and not powercreep. Fine by me.
