Yes, it will. 
Character creation in a few months, walking on planets in several years.

Walking on planets probably during the third season next year (2017).

Source? I always thought it would make more sense to do that after atmospheric planets are introduced.
Id guess spacelegs next season in some form because FDev clearly want to drop the major stuff in there asap and then build up them up. The fact character creator comes last in 2.1 might be a clue.

Yeah, I think ships first. Stations next. Planets after. Rolled out in following seasons.
Yes, that's how I expect it to happen.
Yes but you'll still have to wear your spacesuit because, you know - space.
Any colour preference?
It would be easier to implement walking on planets first, because we can already land on planets and drive around. Walking inside ships requires designing all ship interiors.

I recall FD saying that character creation would be coming next to last, and that there would be a surprise for the final 2.0 release.
Don't they have that already designed?
I thik they have. I have quite strong feeling that in "The Commanders" update, we will get possibility to walk on our ships. Mainly because that's when multicrew ships are coming to the game. I personally would develop posibility to walk (at least at bridge). It would be more atmospheric than selecting your role from menu.
2.1 Engineers - May
2.2 Guardians (Ship launched fighters) - Summer
2.3 The Commanders (Character creation) - Fall
2.4 ??? - End of Season 2
How FD will even keep the deadline is a complete mystery to me when it's taken them a long time to get into the 2.1 beta phase... But I do trust them here.

I may have missed something but why do people think ship launched fighters are going to happen?
What happens to your ship? Does it pop out of existence? Would you be upset if it got ganked while you were flying around?
Makes much more sense if Guardians is npc wingmen and passenger missions, possibly policing ranking/careers considering how things are

Because it was confirmed by FD?
These fighters are the same size as the CQC ships and are probably flown by AI, or you and the mother ship will be flown by AI. When The Commanders releases, it'll probably be flown by your crewmen.
From the EGX annoucement:
"Ship-Launched Fighters can be docked in your ship's hold to give you a far greater range of options to tackle any situation in which you find yourself. Deploy your fighter under AI control or take the stick yourself and fly into battle while your mothership lies in wait."

Ah grand cheers - I've been thrown off by all the folk talking about having fully fledged ships inside ships. singular minifighters like that sounds is easier to get the head around though not what I think some people are hoping forBecause it was confirmed by FD?
