So you're an explorer are you?

Even Braben wants this, he are even talking about hunting wild life on alien worlds. So it's coming for sure, I just want to know how the detailed it will be and how they are going to attack the challenge.

Hello Commanders,

My aim with this post is to (again) try to find out what ED will be like as soon as we can get down to the damn planets.

I've tried to data mine the interweb for clues, however FD is one tight lipped "person".

So let's assume that we find something of interest to scan, ok it's a earth like world. Next step would be to get into low orbit, and do some research from there first.

1. Check atmospheric compounds
2. Maybe launch some small probes to check for life forms, with video link back to the ship.
3. Set destination landing zone and begin decent.
4. Land at destination and roll out a small rover.
5. Launch a small scout drone to scout the surroundings. (Like in Arma 3)


After we get there, what will we find?

Well, we don't know that is why we boldly go where no man has gone before right?
My question would more be like, how are FD going to get this done right? there are many ways of attacking the problem, however only very few ways of doing it right.

First, low gravity planets would give you tail thin creatures, high gravity planets would give you short creatures on stumpy legs. (very simplistic)
Second, we need dangerous creatures too, enough of the fluffy stuff.

Uhh yeah that is a big puppy, meeting one of those would be scary.

So FD, could you please give us a small hit of what you got in mind :p

Ha - if the planet has city lights visible from orbit (i've found 24 ELWs so far....none of them do) then I wouldn't try to claim it. However, no lights = my planet. If there are primitive bipedal life forms, I'll probably set myself up as some sort of God and have them do my bidding :)

Don't forget to pack lots of HE Suits otherwise:

1 hour after returning from wandering around new planet: "You have a headache"
2 Hours: "You have broken out in glowing blue spots"
3 Hours: "Your left leg has fallen off, and exploded"
3 Hours 10 minutes: "You have died from loss of blood - Game Over."
 

who?

who?
