The Planetary landing and planetside missions discussion Thread

but he did re-confirm that both the planetary landings and third-person walk-around-the-ship mode were coming—and, importantly, that those features would come to PC first.

That should shut a few people up, It's a long time since I've seen anyone from frontier mention this.
 
Producer Ben Dowie reiterated that Xbox One and PC players won’t be playing head-to-head—although they’ll be playing in the same simulated universe, they’ll never encounter each other in space,

Most EXCELLENT news!! :)
(No offence intended btw)

Great, now they simply have to make the Elite ranking dependent on the number of planetary landings or walks to the coffee dispenser!
 
I like surprises personally speaking :)

I've checked with the journo on Twitter whether DB actually said 3rd person for walking around or whether it's a mistake and it's 1st person. I'll reply when i get an answer.

I'm assuming that was a misquote...everything so far has been very much centered around a first person experience.

Third person, otherwise, why would be buy "skins" for our pilots? Unless there is a mirror somewhere on board...

*partly in jest*

both timed exclusive to PC ;)...

Thanks for sharing! :) I can hardly believe it. Ah well, seeing is believing.

If we ever get planetary gameplay where I can nuke military installations just like the good old days (remember the gauntlet from arriving in the system and to said installation, and reaching safe distance before impact?...), I'll be as happy as a pig in sheets! :) ;)

Why do I think the 30 ship limit wont be relevant in the near future.

It will be easy to create more.

Just create variants of existing ones.

-Military Asp Variant [The one the Asp is based on]
-Eagle MKIII [Slight Hull Change Design and stats between Eagle & Courier]
-Imperial Interceptor [Lighter, faster version of the Courier]
-Lakon Type 9: Stratofortress [6 Medium Hardpoints / Increased Shield Value]
-Vulture Black Ops [S4 Shield but S5 Frameshift Drive]
-Sidewinder Trebuchet [1 Large Hardpoint]

Of course he did...because this is how it is going to work:

I can't wait to try the T9 on a single rail, high speed, outside loop the loop, while dodging station fire for speeding!
 
I'm fine with them expanding to Xbox One as I kinda see exclusives as a bit underhanded to make people buy one system or another.

I'm really glad that they are still wanting to create planetary landings and ship interiors game-play, by the way did they mean third person as in from the character or just that your getting out of the ship's cockpit?

On the subject of exclusives, shame they couldn't have convinced Microsoft to port some of their popular titles to PC as part of the contract. I mean Fair's Fair right? :p
