Colossal is quite a strange word to use.
The title is taken directly from this weeks newsletter. Colossal is a pretty big word. I'll admit to getting a bit jittery.
What is it? Apparently it's pretty big?...

If it is planetary landings, I suspect it will just be an announcement, not a launch. In which case you will have plenty of time to get back.
They couldn't seriously release a beta version and call it released, but they did.
Planetary landings will not fix exploration. It might paper over a few cracks on the placeholder for a few days. To fix exploration, you need to be able to explore, not this tourism with an A-Z of the whole galaxy in our cockpit.
Nope
they watered that down as well and to bow (very slightly) to a minority they went with this instead

Mana ??
Ergo, a new galaxy to move goods from X to Y in.

Landing pad on a rock without atmosphere confirmed?
To fix exploration you need to be able to interact more with your environment. You can't do very much of that if you are always stuck in orbit. They could of course add more types of scanners and a deeper mechanic behind them. I would be happy with just that. FD hasn't said one word about changing scanning though. They have only mentioned exploring a planet's surface directly.

Wasn´t Powerplay touted as the biggest most awesomest coolest update EVER ? Well I´ll be cautiously pessimistic about the latest marketing department talk about colossal and whatnot.
If it´s just a landing pad on an airless rock it will add absolutely nothing to gameplay, just sayin´.
They have to be very confident we will like it to use such terms. Mind you, they seemed to be confident that we would like powerplay.
Largest playable ship? Corvette? Let's leave it so open that everyone can hope again for what they want... guarantees many disappointments.
Indeed. Frontier have also said that exploration won't get any upgrades until planetary landings. Let's hope it's more than just flying over the surface and honking a scanner. But, I'm pretty sure it will be more involved than that.
