The Future of Elite: Dangerous

To be honest, its kinda dissapointing for me. All they want is walk around, which is basically adding an eye candies (dont get me wrong, it i can sit and watch a busy docking bay all day, i dont need anything else), but i was hoping the game would develop much further, like station building, multi level playing (being a pilot, or a fleet commander, or an investor managing the station business, or a politician), hiring and leading NPCs... I refuse to accept that "the future of Elite" is walking the space station...

Elite Dangerous was never intended to be space strategy game. However, you might see some elements of commanding capital ship in future expansions (as mentioned by FD).

Those things are impossible right now precisely because there's no walking around. I mean, they've said they want to add command of capital ships, but then obviously it's linked to that expansion, otherwise there'd be no point being in a huge ship with thousands of people, and be stuck in your seat. Those features might or might not come, but one thing is sure, walking around will be the pivot point of many feaures they plan on adding.

Also, you're thinking about it in terms of a simple walking simulator. Myself, I see something more along the lines of Deus Ex or GTA. It's going to be great fun playing cops and robbers in there.
