We have really big wardrobes too.Something being colossal, at least colloquially and not relating to Colossus, is super subjective. I think if we went by my wife's use of the word colossal in the bedroom, we'd all be a bit disappointed. She's really nice to me
My bet is the first paid expansion. Since they said it won't be first person gameplay, I'm sure (and hope) it will be the beginning of planetary landings. Remember, they said they would do it in several steps, starting with airless moons, so unless they changed their plans I don't expect to see atmospheric flight just yet. On the other hand, I really don't see how they would get people to pay for several expansions, each adding new bodies to land on ; maybe it will be free updates for those who bought the expansion like with the main game?
Anyway, I sure as hell hope it's not more community/multiplayer stuff that nobody asked for.

I certainly hope it's Thargoids. Anything to make this game more interesting. That would hopefully give explorers something to think about beyond just maxing jump range and incursions into Known Space would give at least me a reason to want to equip a combat ship.
Yeah, if it is a letdown, I think I'll just not come back to the forums for a while. Well, I'll try not to, HAH
God I sincerely hope it is NOT planetary landings. The game is so cookie cutter procedurally generated as it is in terms of planets etc that the thought of spending time landing on any of them after the 10th one is interminably tedious sounding.
Please be a full reworking of the exploration system or piracy or mission improvements ...anything that deepens the mile wide inch deep puddle rather than further increasing its width even more.

THARGOID INVASION
Now, if the devs want it, conflict zones can spawn with Thargoids in them. Killing the Thargoids will give more credits than ordinary CZ enemies! Some times, they will drop rare items that will give even more credits when you sell them!
It's a whole new way to play the game! Amazing! You will not be let down! The new emergent dynamics this involves are truly staggering! We've been working on this feature since early 2014! The dynamic emergences stimulate cooperative gameplay! Leaderboards will track Thargoid kills! Become hero of the galaxy!
As an additional update, we will also clean up the forums, and remove useless subforums (such as the now-obsolete and unnecessary DDF).

What's the obsession with planetary landings?
They've already had pirates roaming through deep space, and people weren't too happy with that mechanic for several obvious reasons. Thargoids would definitely make more sense. But tbh, I'd much rather have more Star Trek type adventures to balance out the already strong pew pew elements in this game.
I kind of doubt it will be Thargoids, unless they decide to shift focus away from PP. I doubt they will do that however, since the basic idea of PP is a great one, and only needs more depth, interest, and variety to keep it going.

Yah, I don't get it. I mean, I get it, flying near the surface would be fun but the gameplay to go with it will be some time off, I think. Besides, if you want to do planetary landings, Space Engine is free (though you should donate).
And less of a headache to understand lol
Or play a flight simulator lol ��
Agreed. I'm primarily an explorer and I don't particularly want planetary landings mainly because it would be procedurally generated and so boring after a short while (like exploration has become for me).

If you only want to play 1/3 or 1/2 of a space sim then you are kind of missing the point of ED. A fully interactive galaxy where we can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone, or even just putz around in a space station if that is your thing. Living fully immersed in space... that is the Dream!
