Interesting article. I'm glad Piers stated that their future plans will see on-foot as a core component. Hopefully that includes EVA and ship interiors at some point.

"This was not a marketing tool," insists Jackson. "Certainly, from our perspective, we've used the alpha enormously, we've had a very large amount of feedback from our players, we've reacted to a lot of it as well."

So I'm hoping the players who played and enjoyed the alpha are going to see some really significant improvements in the areas they've highlighted, that they felt needed them."
