I hope it is the much anticipated Ship/Station/Outpost 1st person walkabout feature. As a DLC if need be and they need to fill up their coffers some more.
Planetary Landings would be nice, but without 1st person implemented, it'd be just the same as docking at stations only with a nicer and (hopefully) more varied view. Doing planets right will require a lot of work, whereas 1st person should be slightly easier. At least on the coders, though the 3D artist department may disagree...

I am hoping for planetary landings, but David did say landing on moons would come first and then planets. I can't see 2 expansions though so one would cover both. So my thought we get to land on airless bodies first and later a 'free' upgrade to planets as that will be more complicated to make sure their is enough variation that no 2 look like the same locations. The basics on all will be the same just a totally different layout each time so it 'looks' new. As for how to do it seamlessly my guess you approach a planet, drop out of supercruise and activate planetary landing cruise drive. Remember humanity has been landing on planets for centuries so they have the technology down. So it isn't anything new but actually very old technology compared to the supercruise and hyper jump engines. So you pop out near the planet and now it is all seamless down to land. As for taking off, again your ship has more thrust then it knows what to do with, it will be a steady climb up and pick up speed as you go, a planetary cruise drive at many times the speed of sound to get around quickly.

Well at least one can hope it is that.

Yeah it's easy to upset you 'Windy'...
Good observation, Ive' also thought this; tsk tsk....So this being a fine thought, means your a 'hard chargin' fine thinker...
Well.... on the ED reddit, there was a hint that it might be planetary landings, or at least the first parts of it. If that is indeed the case then they should really also implement limited 1st person walking around so that it's not just another dock you have to land at while doing your business without leaving the cockpit.

It has already been confirmed it will not be FPS by devs (lavecon)
If this is a DLC it will be planetary.
If this is not a DLC it will be a surprise.
+ prior elite games offered planetary landing without FPS.

None of the above.
In reality, Frontier Development did build a real spaceship (Anaconda size) and will leave earth to find themselve a new planet to market their game - a planet with a more optimistic, grateful and less cynical player base.

nah, it´s a new commodity to trade
sssuuurre... because the one thing the game needs is a couple hundred billion more randomized star system instances, bravo
(no, that was sarcasm)
I think the size of space is big enough, thanks. Waiting for big gameplay announcements instead
