So do I need to use two colons now? E: D: H? Elite: Dangerous: Horizons? :p

Also, now I should finally stop reading news for this game. I kind of want the universe to feel unknown when I finally buy it. But can I resist spoiling it all? We'll see...

Slight concern... There's no suggestion in that article that you'll be going down to the surface to simply enjoy the spectacle (eg: a lovely waterfall). It implies the entire purpose is to play more mini-games? Hunt the mining opportunity. Fight for the base etc.

Any mother nature at all either? Water? Seas? Rain? Plants?

If Horizons means to land, mine and new pew pew, I suspect some explorers will feel they're missing out?

Also, if being pessimistic reading this from the community site:

"We're beginning with airless, rocky worlds – places where a great deal of new gameplay can take place. These are planet-sized sandbox environments, with all sorts of things to discover hidden on them. You'll find surface starports, crashed ships, mineral deposits, hidden bases and more. "

No mention transitioning form space tot he planet. Almost sounds like a separate environment from the main galaxy.

He does mention that airborne ships would find it hard to get a lock on the SRV's and that you would need to watch the skies if you are in one, so possibly not.

I would imagine it being like coming out of supercruise, but who knows.

Yes definitely able to fly in the atmosphere but nothing about getting into and out of the atmosphere. I am sure I am just being paranoid tho so carry on everyone. I do think it sounds amazing regardless ;)

The detail on games radar is way more impresive than what i was expecting.

This serious gives star citizen and NMS a big run for there money and out much much sooner.

So very well done FD.
