Holy E. Coli
This is going to introduce a WHOLE new level of long needed emergent gameplay at long last.
On new transaction ability: So this means we can buy lazers? Other photon based weapons? Upgrade our new jet packs? Armor ranging from F to A grade? Can we engineer any of our manual weapons and gear at these stations? Or only at the Engineers?
The Fuel Rats and SAR are going to have their hands full. Especially in Open
If this also comes with BASE BUILDING and/or land ownership of a specific plot of land on a planet somewhere, I'm going to be in hog's heaven...

- EVA survival since we can now land on planets/asteroids and await rescue. Better yet, now land on ATMOSPHERIC planets which may be M Class/earth like with comparable and breathable oxygen while we await rescue. And with the significantly reduced oxygen footprint, be able to explore and map unknown planets while waiting on rescue
- Potential EVA directly from your disabled space ship and into another player's or NPCs rescue air craft. Cmndr Holo Me is no longer a paraplegic stuck with the horror of watching that life support count down timer in their disabled ship cockpit.....
- If in Open and being griefed, be able to use a SPACE RPG and take out griefers that are trying to flatten you with their ships while you're on foot
- Be able to takeout Skimmers and other hostile NPCs you encounter on stealth/spy missions
- Be able to use whatever salvage you find on planets. Like use the medical supplies to extend your suit's life timer. And use whatever ship salvage in wrecks to help repair your ship. While on lookout for hostile NPCs lurking in the area
- Possible EVA to outside our disabled ships and repair our ships manually (similar to way you can in Space Engineers)
- Possible exploration of space station interiors? Which would need to be randomly generated. Similar to the way Bethesda and UbiSoft used tech to randomly generate interiors and entire densely packed cities.
- Possible delivery/cargo missions using combination of SRV and by foot. But RNG hostile encounters enroute could jeopardize this i.e. cripple your Holo Me so they can no longer walk and require SAR if they can't get back to their SRV
- Walking and exploring rugged, steep and mountainous terrain on the night side of planets is going to be a fun nightmare. Especially if the planet is 'Goid infested.....
- Hope NPC interaction at these planetary outposts/bases are more than just speaking to an NPC in an upgraded movie screen. They did list ability to buy and upgrade weapons/gear. Hopefully the NPC security patrols will also be on foot as well. Perhaps perform SAR if you can contact the station within a given radius? Such a feature would really work well for Solo and PvE PG players who can't contact FR or SAR Cmndrs.
