I'd bet 1 british pound that Legs will come before ICE worlds AND Carriers
Concerns about any upcoming Base Building

What's wrong with your British leg? I'd accept photo of naked leg if you're right!
I see base building being included (speculatively) for three reasons:
1- It allows players to create content and new things to discover so FDev doesn't have to go to the effort. Imagine the thrill of finding an abandoned base and scavenging it for resources.
2- If gives squadrons something to do together. Even if all you can do is land at your base and take screenshots, a lot of players will enjoy the accomplishment and creativity of it.
3- So many space games (and open world survival games in general) have base building, there is a bit of "We do this too!"

I just don't see the point in getting people's hopes up by believing leaks while announced content gets pushed back into oblivion. Every other day someone thinks they've found some little clue that indicates space legs or the Panther Clipper or some other long awaited thing is going to happen which just fuels the disappointed with every update or official announcement that say nothing about those things people got their hopes up about.
"Why I'm quitting the game" "Done with this game" and insert generic title of thread by whoever else decided to publicly announce their retirement and list of disappointments aren't fun or encouraging topics to see on the forum. Lots of people get burnt out just waiting for this feature or that feature that never comes. Threads about how someone thinks the holy grail of ED has been found and will be coming are just the worst. When I see them I just think of this;
Ok, where did THAT come from?As long as there are locksmiths we’ll be okay.
Brilliant
I will take that bet and say that Carriers come before Legs or that we get all three at the same time.
I also propose we raise the bet to One Pound and a Penny, just to make it interesting.

I patiently wait and see what they develop and introduce to us and then make up my mind. It's their game, we just live in it.
I don't worry about the future.

I may be old, but I'm not that old!
Mind you, that's only £1.05.
Done!
Oi Nutter! Fancy raising the stakes to £1.05?

Not everyone is speculating that it will be good.
It's the general consensus that people are quietly confident. But they're not NMS screaming from the rafters about it!
I don't see anything wrong with speculation, this is a discussion area and this is a discussion. So many people take speculation so seriously, we can all spitball ideas and hopes, it doesn't damage the game at all.
If people want to sit in silence, not engage with anyone about the future of the game and just take the updates when they launch that's fine, for some of us we enjoy playing with ideas, people will always be disappointed but healthy discussion isn't a bad thing and speculation isn't a dirty word.
I agree, in this community there is the tendency to believe that IT is stuck in the '80s
Bases should come in different sizes: Fleet Size, Large/Medium/Small size and a Re-usable Shelters.
- The Fleet size is dedicated to player groups so it should require efforts from all players to build it and maintain it.
- Large, Medium and Small size depends on the landing pad size. You avoid the grind of building a large base by building a small one so you can park your Anaconda in the station and use a Sidewinder as a shuttle to go home (it's the most realistic scenario, only John Travolta could park his Boeing 707 in his house).
- Shelter: it has no landing pad. It's a small house that explorers may use when they are far from the civilization. It's a pre-assembled and foldable shelter that you can store in your cargo rack. When you deploy it it unfolds automatically next to your ship. The key factor is an interstellar cartography data computer. The explorer that wants to unveil the misteries of a particular galaxy region may decide to fix a base in a nice system and return here time to time to sell the collected exploration data to his/her faction (this must be defined at the starport before your departure from the factions status menu) and have a shower. It got the size of a small house and you can customize it like the habitable module of the other bases.
To equip your ship with it you need to buy the shelter at the commodities market. Price is 1 milion cr (garden and cesspool not included).

Not a fan of personal bases. The entire ED galaxy belongs to everyone. There's nothing stopping anyone from landing at a planetary base and saying "this is mine" even if they game thinks otherwise. Not sure how this would work across the modes either. Seems like a different game to be honest.
I do like base building though, like in 7DTD or Empryion where you can store your ships (it would be nice to have the ships available for view without the shipyard being needed). Again, all of that sounds like a completely different game.
