Hi Commanders!

What would you like to see first as an expansion?
Would you like to fly over the surface of the planets or would you like to walk around the stations and inside the hangar, looking at you ship and walk around inside it?

At first for me planetary flight was the thing I wanted first. But then I took some time to fly slowly around the stations and look at the ships. Then I even just sat at the landing pad and looked around inside my eagle. And then after some time, I started to realize the scale of everything. All the time every just seemed to be quite small because you move so fast. But here the sense of scate stated to evolve.

I think if we would be able to get out of our ship and walk around it, we could judge far better how big everything is and how much larger a Anaconda is compared to a Sidewinder, or even Cobra to a Sidewinder!


But the same would apply to planetary flight. At the moment with supercruise all planets feel more like big balls because we are so far away and they move to fast. Actually flying down to their surface and close over their mountains would you also give a much better sense for their scale. And of course planetary flight would be awesome anyways =D




So what would YOU like to see first?
And if someone knows what Frontier is actually planning to implement first, please tell us too =D
 
Planetary flight. Reason: It was in the previous two games, and is the big 'elephant-in-the-room' omission (other than single player) for me.
 
Not sure how much walking around is going to add, it seems like the sort of thing that should of been deigned in at the start. As it is there is no down time to fill with walking around so when it comes its going to have be mostly station (and maybe ground) based because in flight you pretty much have to be in the pilots seat the whole time.
 
Planetary flight. It would add more to the game and require an element of skill I would imagine, which is a good thing.
