Sorry to all the faithfuls for pointing this out, but... if thats not VR material then call me Richard. And yes, I know you dumped VR but still... bring VR back.

Not 2+ years in.
The new planetary tech looks very impressive, so massive kudos to all the team.

That looks very interesting indeed. Some of the work on the planets looks great, the Ice planets in particular. Can't wait to see more.
It is very nice to hear that still so many of the team talk about exploration being one of the best things about Elite and how exploration in Elite gives you a feeling that you can't get in any other game. Though it pains me slightly to put a bit of negativity into this post, can you please address the dozens of bugs and issues that plague Exploration and the Codex and have done for 20 months now! If it's that important to the game, then please make sure it's working.
Love the concept art being thrown in, can't wait for peek of the week to come back to newsletters

Yes, testing the waters of PG flora on light atmospheres, full Earthlikes will flow from this. I wonder if there will be any dense areas like a massive forest, even given the atmosphere is light. Plants can alter the surrounding eco-system and weather patterns and hope to see some huge patches of dense growth reflecting this and/or areas of gas/liquid availability.
Its one of at least a few episodes.
I've just got to say that the upgraded planets and the added atmosphere looks stunning. Even in Pre-Alpha. Looking forward to the livestream.
I am really excited for tonight but I hope DBOBE gives clarification on the thargoid in the room. @Stephen Benedetti please get him to confirm that VR will be or will not be added for EDO.
The dev trailer looks awesome but that first step on a planet will not be real for many at launch. We understand but we need some hope.

All the ships have had stairs, it's just we've never used them yet!

... and how will that feeling of actually being the first to set foot on a new planet and surrounded by a thin helmet be conveyed through a flat screen a meter away?
There is only one way to actually do that justice and it is usually denoted by a two-letter abbreviation.

Its a shame we don't get that level of enthusiasm for other parts of the game too though. I'm hoping the following diaries address this, along with other features that dare not speak their names getting love.

Looks great so far. Love the sample collector. The planets look gorgeous. Looking forward to the rest of the Dev Diary's.

Maybe for the subset of players who have bought in to VR. For those who have not, flat screen is the way.
