Need help understanding an answer to a question in QA stream about space legs

Someone asks if space legs would affect the ability to use multi-crew. He basically says that, hypothetically, if space legs exist in the future that there will be no reason for multi-crew to stop working. The twitching eye seems like he's worried that by answering the question too directly that they might inadvertently be confirming space legs. He also says "maybe you'd be able to do other features, as well" which is where the twitching starts. I can't read wether that is because they want to surprise everyone with space legs, like you say 'something is baking,' or they don't want to give CMDRs hope that space legs will come soon... when it may not be. (I think it's the later)

That's my take

I ask because english is not my first language and sandy tends to talk quite fast sometimes, there's a little chunk of the answer that I didn't get at all. And what's about the eye twitching thing?

Is there something baking inside frontier's oven?

Basicallly nothing is going to happen until it's in the game.

We have heard so much since the KS days and a lot of it never materialized. Take Ironman mode, easy gaming for the people is what is the aim here.

The DDF was a commercial gimmick nothing more.

However it funny that all the more harsh part and sim mechanics was removed and replaced with a quick sugar coating for an easy digestion.

DB said something similar about Thargoid earlier this year, about 6 months before hyperdictions started.

He also said 'winter is coming', still not here yet though. We may see space legs in a year but it will prob be longer. Personally would like them to get all the bits of flying a spaceship about the galaxy in like lava worlds, atmospheric flight and weather patterns on planets before space legs seeing that the elite franchise has always been about flying a spaceship.

I'm pretty sure that it was just a mix of that question being asked so many times, and him not wanting to talk about an imaginary situation surrounding something that he knows is likely a long way off (if at all). I think he just felt it was dangerous to answer the question because it might give people the wrong idea about what is to come.

In 2015. people on the forum talked about planetary landings is several years away and we got it in 2.0. I trust no one.

David Braben even said in ~March 2015 that any form of planetary landings were a very long way off. Then Frontier announced Horizons around 3 months later.

All this really tells us is that it's better to wait and see what actually happens, rather than placing too much on what Frontier say.

A slightly more optimistic view, it could also mean that every now and then a "Eureka!" moment puts them way ahead of where they thought they would be, on some game-things :)

No doubt true on occasions. :)

Personally though, I think Frontier like to keep things "mysterious" so they can spring their "surprises".

I've missed that DB statement but it certainly proves my point.

Off topic, I'm reading your comments and imagining your voice. What the hell is wrong wit me? :D
