That's the kind of thing a lot of us expected would be out there from day one. I'm sure it won't be long before we finally get this content in the main game.. I'm hoping 1.4 will be a pure content update, and not another stand alone feature like PP... but an update that fills out the galaxy with all kinds of mystery content like that. Fingers crossed! 
Well, this image looks very pretty...especially the asteroids and fog...I wish we could have this kind of prettiness back to our RESs and planetary rings...it was so lovely before 1.3 upgrade
Yes! Yes! And some more YES for luck!I'm hoping 1.4 will be a pure content update, and not another stand alone feature like PP... but an update that fills out the galaxy with all kinds of mystery content like that. Fingers crossed!
TBH, if it's not I'll give up hope that FD had/have the game in mind that I did when I backed it...

I too would like to see things like that of course, but let's be honest here...even if they won't do that in 1.4...well...you're not going anywhere.
Rather have some form of NPC improvements (NPC comms/crew/passengers/contacts...) for 1.4 personally...

I left for 3-4 weeks before PP because I go so tired of the "thinness"... PP has proved to be mainly PooPoo, so I suspect I'll end up losing the will again soon...
Passengers? Great... Another take X to Y mission :S

It looks like one of the "powerup" rings that were shown in the launch video. I could be wrong though.

love it - love it , makes me want to buy the XB1 version just to have a go at it , but my twelve year old son's in charge of that and he said no way hozay , ah well just have to be patient but looks real good .
CQC is going to be another option to choose somewhere in the menu, not a seperate build as such, but yes it will be seperate from the main game.
Whether or not we'll see these specific structures in the main game later is unknown, but hopefully some of that work can be reused at least.

I bloody well hope so. There is just not enough stuff to do and see in the game, a gargantuan problem for a sandbox. I just wanna have a reason to leave the small cluster of systems I currently buzz between, at present there is no reason to go more than 30 lights in any direction as I know for a fact there is all going on in the greater galaxy, and certainly no "regional flavour" depending on who's turf you're on
I understand now why people seem to complain so much about a game they keep on playing. It's a sweet setup as is, but could be utterly phenomenal were it not so bland an homogenous. As a criticism I see levied against ED by almost everyone that plays it, going back almost as long as it's been out, I've heard almost nothing addressing it.
Planetary landings will go someway to making the game feel as big as should. But in the mean time how difficult would it be to add a little window dressing like we see here?
I mean I don't even know if this is a screenshot, development art or fan art. I've docked at hundreds of stations and never seen this, so can only assume it's dev-art.

The main game could do with much more variety
Like that idea
Some stations actually look like that, seen a few, can't name any tho.
There is at least one in Sol, M. Gorbachev I think, maybe more. Few others around but I forget where.
I agree though, not nearly enough variety.
You and I agree on this...
