Just landed at Palins Base “ Abel Labs” and heard over the intercom that this Is a weapon free zone and you are not allowed to carry any personal type weapons and they must be turned in or left behind. This to me seems to be preparing us for Space legs and gun play will not be allowed at bases and maybe space ports.
More Hints to Space Legs

Damn gun grabbers...
I know where I WONT be visiting.
if they won’t trust a pilot with a giant space ship armed to the teeth with a simple sidearm....well...they have some problems.

I don't want to bust your bubble.
BUT that's been there for ages
Space legs has also been planned for ages. Question is when will we finally get it
Fairly certain that's an announcement that's been around for a long time though.
I don't get it. Surely toilets take fluids from either gender?
i think in this case they don’t dispense the appropriate gender fluid if a refill is needed?
Indeed they do. I suspect Hacker#451563 was attempting to make a political statement that has no place here.
That sounds like the toilets release gender-specific fluids. I'll pass, thankyouverymuch.

These actually completely invalidate the OP guess.
Late 2026, after the delay.Space legs has also been planned for ages. Question is when will we finally get it
Half Life 3 confirmed!
think you're reading too much into this tbh. Still, a nice bit of immersion regardless of whether your theory is right or not. But if we do get space legs, I hope this particular engineer is enterprising and curious enough to test if Holo Me Cmdrs can contain more holes than Swiss cheese.....
While I do think Frontier is likely looking at space legs...
...intercom messages like this have been present in many games that never developed 'walking around' mechanics. The X-Universe series being a prime example (until its most recent iterations). Station intercoms in X-2 frequently referenced actions aboard the station, as did intercoms in other similar space titles that were purely ship-based.
On an unrelated note, it's a bit distressing that intercom messages - particularly at planetary bases, which are less frequented than most - are far more diverse and interesting than the flavor text of in-space messages. "And remember: this cruise liner is in the top 1% out there!"

I can't wait to get out of my ship's seat and do other things besides being a ship. It's so limiting. Other than being a big ship that can land on things, you can only be a smaller ship that can't land or a ship with wheels that drives on planets. I long for the days where I can be a human in a ship... well, at least in Elite Dangerous, I'm already that in Star Citizen.
By "being a ship" you're not meaning that literally i.e. you as the player Cmdr = your ship or SRV right?
Because I've seen a lot of posts in which Cmdrs seem to believe the equivalency in that statement. Which is their apparent rationale for the need NOT to have space legs. They typically argue your Sidey/Conda/SRV doesn't require spacelegs to scale a mountain/hilly terrain to admire the vista on a planet. And are the ones who point out the existing game infrastructure (like docking inside space stations, landing on planets, the relative ease at which you can conduct trade transactions and perform missions etc) were all designed by FDev to support this argument.
That may be true. But you can't really explore any caves, narrow crevices with Sidey or SRV. Or properly inspect POIs like alien ship wreck on planets, and artifacts like Guardian tech or Gen ships on an intimate, up close and personal level. Not suggesting the gimmick of space mining with space legs here (although that would be a nice fluffy feature they could coinsider adding in a later update if space legs is a go). My point is planetary exploration and emergent game play created by EVA activities (ship repair, ship abandonment to 2nd vehicle/SRV if your ship becomes disabled in space/on planet, PvE v NPC and PvP FPS activity etc), can't be performed by your ship or SRV. That sort of game play really requires space legs for both practical and immersive reasons.
My counter argument is the player Cmndr isn't the space vehicle, but your Holo Me PC who sits inside the ship/SRV. Because why else would FDev bother to include a free floating camera views that shows you your Holo Me Cmndr sitting inside their ship in the first place? Your view would've been permanently locked to first person view with no interior ship views. Why else would FDev bother to provide (if not conceived on their part this was probably at fan base request) a Holo Me skin changer wardrobe menu aboard your ship, where you can customize their clothing/armor SEPARATELY from your ability to customize your ship and SRV skins?
Why? Because space legs have apparently remained a potential dev feature addition since the game was released.

A far fetched conclusion.
That would be the perfect title for a book about the community's reaction to announcements.
