Well it would be awesome if we could land on such planets with water and atmosphere as well as gas giants with clouds and volcanic lava worlds like star wars or even maybe a planet with a city and a civilization and trees and creatures likke earth..i know that for example landing on gas giants is not possible and the ship would crash but that can be implemented too in game,honestly after the oddysey update, seeing an update with such planets would make the game the best space game ever and wouldnt require any more dlc just minor tweaks and fixes in the future....... just combining the current oddysey atmospheres with a weather system and making water with wave variations and a system to generate realistic clouds would be a great begginign for water worlds and gas giants,and later adding trees and jungle and stuff and some alien biology would be awesome,even if there were only like 5 or 10 or 20 planets like these in the entire ed universe it would be enough to make the game on top of the line then adding a couple of planets with civilization would probably make the project consider finished

Frontier have to create algorithms that will procedurally create acceptable variants of billions of those planets all across the galaxy. They probably want to do it but it's not going to happen overnight. Weather and life are an even greater complication.

For 400b planets? No, handcrafting all that would be a nightmare. Unless you're happy with the same identical planet 400b times.

no i meant handcrafting 50 or 100 special planets or even less and scater them across the galaxy,would make the game much more interesting and wouldnt be so much work probably (i guess)......that would ruin the exploration though because everyone would have visited them but they could be used for other purposes like missions or battles or even a new game mode...imagine if there were some planets in the game that had popular cities that would add a whole new game section which could be story based or something,even splitting the galaxy into ten sections with a couple of handcrafted civilization planets(or systems) each and also make the existing gas giants landable would be a fair deal.........i mean therre are so many gas giants in the game but none of them are landable and its such a shame really

and this idea is not just one of personal preference, its an objectively good idea,everyone would expect something like this in a space game,some weather and water and city and forest.....whether one likes it or not is irrelevant because its an undeniable part of a universe,i meanother space games have these,star citizen ,no mans sky, and they are not even as good as elite dangerous in terms of vibes and playability elite dangerous has something of a more real vibe which makes them game worth updating for many years to come

and to put this more realistically just making some of the already existing water world or terraformable planets and gas giants just landable would be the same thing,flying through the clouds of a gas giant would instanly upgrade this game tons

NMS is all procedural. SC handcrafts them and after 10 years has what? 4 planets? Not even 2 systems. That's the difference right there.
