That's a good thing. I'm not expecting "Second Life in Space" anyhow... and I'd love to see it developed before I'm dead and can't actually enjoy it, whereas SC will likely be "in development" for another decade the way they're progressing.

Well as much as I'm hyped by the announcement I'm not seeing anything way beyond current consoles hardware in the teaser. A pumped up surface, a skybox, nothing really out of touch for a console.

Not even the tip of the iceberg. Why do you think there are so many open only threads?
Because repetitive spamming of topics on a forum doesn't equate to a democratic vote?
They may well be going down that route, and it does have its benefits as you get to bring everyone along for the ride.
But from a technical standpoint, I cant help but think it would be a shame to skip that opportunity to revisit old design decisions which now constrain what frontier can do in the game as well all those purdy next gen graphics. We`ll see.
Of course ! You can get here for cheap and with 8 Gb of memory.

Your first point can be made for PvE just as well.
My issue with PP allowing players to affect the universe is balance a few pilots shouldn’t be able to produce effects influencing whole chunks of the bubble it’s just to big.
No comments on any forums or in response to direct questions on twitter regarding VR hopefully @Will Flanagan @Stephen Benedetti or @Tim Smith will read this thread and respond soon to put our minds at rest.
If we can disembark, the Aliens too ?
If we can disembark, the Aliens too ?
If Aliens can disembark, can we steal their ship while they are not onboard ?
I see a lot of comments around the fade to black transitions in order to get from your cockpit seat, to the SRV or on foot. Is it really that big a deal to not be able to walk out of your cockpit onto the surface?
Ain't it the website well known for its SC bias? And where do they come with these details from?
It's probably not a big deal but .. to help the speculation along .. your SRV is not located in the same place as your cockpit seat and in the game right now you can't walk .. ergo, in the game now we have fade to black. Whether that will change is anybody's guess.
As a VR player walking around the ship to an exit hatch/door would be nice , but I kind of understand why they wouldnt do that since 'flat' players make up most of the userbase.
(in VR we can kinda walk around the ships , at least a few feet away from the chair , but its not really designed for it and gets glitchy the further out we go )
The article you cite doesn't mention the transition from pilots seat in the ship to walking on the planets surface...
Via google translate:
As has been said elsewhere, we do not know anything about the transition will occur, but it is my hope that we will get out of the pilots seat, and walk to the airlock, and descend a ladder / ramp / elevator to disembark. Part of this is because it is my hope that "space legs" will bring with it a swathe of first person interactions with the ship's interior, and exterior via space walking. Even if such things don't come immediately as part of the initial release of Odessy, as long as there was an intimation from Frontier that such things are going to be part of a subsequent update, I'll be delighted.
I wonder how FD are going to handle the "lore" contradictions around telepresence?
Its been about a day, with a livestream tonight. Give them a chance before the wicker man treatment.
