So, is there going to be space legs or not?

Read the transcript of David Braben on the AMA, when asked about walking around he nether denied or confirmed. Anymore info from anyone?
 
It was one of their goals going in and they have concept art of it. FD never comments until it is well under way. No sense getting people's hopes up in case something goes wrong. I'd guess it's at least 2-3 seasons away still.
 
They said in one of the recent live shows (during the 2.2 update I think) that space legs are definitely in the pipeline, just with no ETA and that they are still trying to decide what we could actually do to keep it interesting once we have them. Personally I'd expect them to be the central theme for a Season, not a point release update so I don't expect to see them any time soon.

Players that have clipped through walls etc (mainly in VR) have said that the graphics are partially in place behind doors etc, so they are clearly working towards it already. If they were not, there would be absolutely no point in creating the interior detail past a fixed bulkhead

if the game does not fail then yes, in a later season there will be space legs... as discussed in the dev diaries

@massiveD I think some are hoping multicrew will mean walking around your ship, however imo more likely at least initially, we will be glued into specific seats when doing multicrew stuff.

I am sure there will be space legs. When is the question. The game area is so massive that it will take a lot of work to stop it feeling all the same. Maybe in 6 months, maybe a year and six months. We just don't know.

Lets just wait intil the announcement for season 3 comes, then we will have a better idea of when it will be coming.

but we are getting commander creator, and that seems odd if we cant see anyone other than through cockpit glass
 
Lol, they just do a huge content update and this guy is talking about the game failing... priceless [squeeeee]

say what? I am not talking about the game failing, i love it!.

there is lots of stuff DB talked about coming

EVA, boarding ships, exploring / pillaging wrecks / safari hunts on planets / flying over the surface of gas giants / accurate modelled comets etc

but is a fact they will only come if the game keeps selling.

One day

We will be able to hide in with the cargo and sneak our way onto other ships!

(if his plans come to fruition!)

Back in 2014 (I think) they stated it was coming in the second update, which I take to mean the 3rd season (planetary landings being "update one"). Who knows if that's still the plan?

Even if it is next season, that's still likely to be up to a year away. We've had 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 in almost 11 months, so season 3 isn't coming any time soon.
 
I do wish that FD would be a little more transparent on their roadmap, why is it so secret as to where the game is heading

I guess what they don't want is to pre-announce what'll be in the game a year or two in advance; which both puts them under pressure if other stuff runs late, and means the feature will be a bit stale by the time it eventually launches.
