New rock formations.
Things you noticed in the gameplay trailer that others may have missed.
- Thread starter The Chairmaker
- Start date
So... Communication, Power and Production?
There's also HAB for habitation structures, you can see one at dev diary 2. That's part of how the new settlement type will be modular, I don't remember at which article/video it was mentioned they would be generated this way, so not necessarily combat-related.
Frankly this is very welcome, since the other station types have much less variation among themselves (mostly representation for the economy type).
It's just the camera for telepresence, in case you want to multicrew control a single character. Nothing can go wrong.
We might be getting some of the final levels of detailing for the new planets.
Better calibrate expectations, as todays footage to my eyes looks the most like existing planets compared to previous media. All the previous shots have included shadows to hide much of the detail..
Basically, old planets with new rocks, a fog later, a skybox. Still a welcome upgrade though.
I wonder if any more of the concept art or first round of screenshots will make it in. Probably because of consoles etc.

Its interesting that a lot of the characters have this attachment, but not all.
Stop talking about powerplay!
You scamp. Powerplay in first person would be epic beyond mortal comprehension.
Edit. Moved my post to the below thread instead. Not sure I can delete this. Thanks.

At around 45s in, the AI does the classic run-in-place-into-a-wall trying to flee from a grenade.
I noticed on the UI there was no chatbox - how do we communicate lol?
By dancing emotes.
Shooting each other silly. Railgun snipe for yes, shotgun for no, grenade for "maybe, but I prefer the Mk 4"
You could bring in a bit of the Martian, with the left kneecap being yes and the right being no, and just bop the right one as well.
Yes buyable with ARX or completing the battlepass!
One thing to note is the footage didn't show the first person hud as far as I can see, but fdev have released some images of combat with the hud, shows things like gravity, CMDR name overlay for other CMDRs, lat/long positioning, compass, radar etc.
edit - suggesting gravity may have some importance in first person. Hopefully.

Can't we land on planets with gravities high like 6g? At that point I feel like character movement would be quite... impacted.
I would hope so. My suspicion is the only obvious effect will be the extent to which our jetpack/jump is restricted.
When the Viper flies overhead the parked commander walking on the ice world, it throws a shadow through what looks like some ground-hugging volumetric clouds.
I don't believe the flat fumerole smoke behaves like that?
Also, look at the refracting haze in the crater on the rocky world. Very different to the outgassing ground fog we see currently. I think we will be getting some basic clouds and volumetric effects, just not big dramatic clouds in the sky with weather fronts and stuff.
