I Think it will be Walking in stations, ships and a character Creation, more weapons (still need more), missles variants, thargoids

Good thing that's not it then... ;)

I know, they said at Lavecon that Thargoids are still a long way off. I just hope that they won't give in to people who mindlessly want some aliens and rush release Thargoids.

Tbh I think that a huge alien distraction is something that can be added when the huge expansions like landing and walking around are released, and when the game and these expansions are properly polished and debugged.

Thargoids should be something of an "endgame" thing when everything else has become "too regular" for you, so you want to go fight some hyperspace interdicting aliens.

There is no way they can "rush release" something like that, especially since the upcoming announcement...

"It’s something we’ve be building to for a long time and something we can’t wait to reveal."

Thargoids should be something that starts with a whisper (Unknown artifacts) and slowly grows as a mystery until "the event" takes place. This should also happen naturally within the gameworld and not as an announcement on a game show. This is certainly what they have hinted at so far so I'm not really worried about that...nor in a hurry to have them introduced.

If it's not Thargoids then it could be limited planetary landings on bodies with no atmosphere. This would entail limited ground structures and environments such as star ports or trading outposts and perhaps ground based missions of some kind, maybe some ground vehicles. The possibilities are limitless. We will know soon enough...

My guess is it will be something completely unexpected and previously unannounced, and for most players also unwanted.

Elite 2 and 3 had planetary landings but no EVA. Will they follow this path? Who knows.

I really don't think it will be either though for the announcement, both require a ton of work and it's too early. I am going to guess they will blind side us and the new feature is Space Moles with lazers.

Seriously dunno.
It just would be awsome to be able to go out of ships and walk around stations, and even more with planetary landing.
With the incoming other space games (Starcitizen-no man's sky) it would be a nice move to keep ppl playing Elite and not switching to the newcomers....

Clearly they are going to announce player owned corporations, crafting of ships and modules, and player built stations.

All innovative ideas that have never been done before......

Walking around in ships is going to be so underwhelming when the space game is still barren and grindy as ever.

It's meant to be a sandbox, not a npc grind simulator - Frontier always announces and develops content that is "hype" but never finishes of on it.

This would be the worst thing ever and kill this game completely.

Instead of fixing the issues or expanding on existing mechanics they would try to distract us with some aliens that have nothing to do with the core game or the promised (major) features.

Michael was reported as saying as Lavecon that Thargoids are 'some way off'.
