100% agree with all that Mike. David mentioned similar at the start and I've continued to hold out hope that one day it will be possible.
He also said supercruise was going to be fun.

Extremely amusing thread; thanks all.
Goes from an official announcement that something big is coming in 18 months, to quibbling in excruciating detail how twinkle toes should be implemented.

Are those in the shop yet? Are they like the outfit version of the iridescent paint jobs?...quibbling in excruciating detail how twinkle toes should be implemented.
I'd just like somewhere to put my mug.

Update confirmed for 2020… Elite : shelf
I wonder if FD will do something slightly different with the spacelegs thingy and go for some sort of drone that you can control.
This would enable you to cut straight to the external action of flying about in surface features or wrecks without all of the (potentially dull) wandering about to get to airlocks etc. Issues like gravity, harsh conditions & death outside the ship could be dealt with in a similar way to the SRV.
"drone" =/= walking around
"drone" =/= immersion
see X4: Foundations. Very basic walking around, but very much immersion.
EDIT: Yeah, I can hear all the Yamiks impersonators with their "Meh iMMURshun"
FD reality =/= community expectation.
Community Expectations =/= Based on Reality
Community Expectations == Reality as promoted by Frontier
Seriously. It feels like in every video they talked about stuff to come and what they are looking forward to most. Most developers answered these talking points with space legs related stuff, DB showed us some cloud tech, etc.
Why do you think they kept going on about those things to come in the future? Because they knew this would sell well. And after six years almost nothing of that has been added, instead we got PP, CQC, MC and so on.
So no, FD doesn't get a free pass on that. It's simply ridiculous to just blame the players for their expectations.
And passive-aggressive replies won't improve the situation either.

Frontier created the expectations for ED way back when with the KickStarter, no playing with words can change that.
In addition to the weekly and monthly activity happening in Elite, we will also be releasing a series of updates roughly every 3-4 months. The first two of these updates will primarily focus on new player and welcoming experiences, and we will also be introducing a number of quality of life improvements for the entire player base, of which we will have more news on in the coming weeks.
