Ice worlds look very nice, likewise rocky (but, weirdly, specifically rocky worlds?); plants are promising, though we haven't actually seen them; but the burning question is how many lead designers and art directors can you fit on one team?

Please just put us out of misery and tell us that ship interiors are not coming and that you've spent 2.5 years remodelling the SRV view in to a CMDR view whilst toggling some procedural planet sliders.
Hello, nice video, but why the "sexist" helmets ?
At around 1:06 the men's helmet has two vertical bars while the female one is round with one horizontal bar. Chest armor begin different I could get behind for "anatomical" reasons, but head and eyes and vision is vastly the same across all 2+ genders of humans, right ? So why do they present it like different genders with different helmets ? And don't go "they couldn't put two guys with variations helmet could they" because of course they could, and also keep one guy and show 4 variations, or put one black man and one white woman (or asian, or latino, or whatever floats your boat) and so on and so forth. but they show us one man, one woman, and the helmets look different.
Plus you get an "ingame" shot afterwards of a female outside of her SRV with what appears to be an imperial gun (white, curved, sleek) that has this exact same weird helmet. so why are women treated differently ?
No judgement or anything, don't want to offend anyone either, just wondering aloud.

3:18 and 3:47 probably just a pre alpha camera pan

I get where you're coming from
Though talking about how valued something is, while at the same time ignoring all of the glaring errors with it sometimes feels worse.

I rather enjoyed that, however I finished my coffee before I found this thread... nooooooo.
Great stuff FDev, good to see some rather interesting tidbits there!

great footage. Now all you gotta do is add VR support and you'll have me
I caught that as well!

Well, it is kind of difficult to hold back when they start talking about wanting you to feel that you are actually there. I know of no other technology that will do that to the same extent as VR would.
I want that SRV - appears to be missing the wheel thrusters and looks just a little 'meaner' for it - the Tactical Graphite PJ helps, of course...

I second this. VR support is a must for me and the more voices we have the better.
ED is a VR game to many.
Greetings...
sorry but NO VR, NO BUY
What I see here will not convince me to buy it without VR compatibility.
I mean... tenuous atmosphere still sounds like a joke in my head to be honest and I can clearly see that the ship interiors argument is largely avoided.
I think the game really needs some cool feature like gameplay inside ships, dramatic atmospheric entry effect and dangerous weather with planets that can potentially destroy your ship if you're not well equipped. The game also need challenge and danger on the planet surface with high risks associated to high rewards (I'm not talking about thargoids). What I see here does not suggest this so I'm not holding my breath...
This was not the point. The point was that the best way of creating a feeling for actually being there and get that awe-inspiring sense of scale is VR. Having a flat screen a meter away is like watching a documentary in comparison.
I never said flatscreen should not be an option, just that VR is what would best embody all they say they want to convey.
Really?? I mean the only difference to the current SRV is just the missing thrusters on the wheels... I would expect much more than this 5 years later the first SRV...I want that SRV - appears to be missing the wheel thrusters and looks just a little 'meaner' for it - the Tactical Graphite PJ helps, of course...
