Things you noticed in the gameplay trailer that others may have missed.

When the Viper flies overhead the parked commander walking on the ice world, it throws a shadow through what looks like some ground-hugging volumetric clouds.

I don't believe the flat fumerole smoke behaves like that?

Also, look at the refracting haze in the crater on the rocky world. Very different to the outgassing ground fog we see currently. I think we will be getting some basic clouds and volumetric effects, just not big dramatic clouds in the sky with weather fronts and stuff.

I definitely think there's a fair amount of atmospheric fogging and variation, like mist and fog. Seems that way. I think (hope) if they do add in some basic cloud it would be a late reveal along with any new ships/srvs.

At around 45s in, the AI does the classic run-in-place-into-a-wall trying to flee from a grenade.

I'm afraid to say I noticed that too. Here basically ...

Can't we land on planets with gravities high like 6g? At that point I feel like character movement would be quite... impacted.

Maybe there will be a powered suit for those scenarios.

It would definitely be a very cool addition!

BTW the cloud/shadow I'm talking about is below and to the right if the crescent-lit planet in the middle picture here, as the Viper passes overhead:

That behaviour is new, right? We've seen it in rings and legrange clouds, but never on planets as far as I know.

You ever served in an infantry outfit, son? We call that the oh--dance, and it's completely realistic. (with apologies to Jack Nicholson).

 

[Lightspeed]

Footprints !

 

[Lightspeed]

And the atmospheric planets are all beige or icy

 

[Lightspeed]

Noticeably, they didn't feature new SRV designs ....

 

[Lightspeed]

Teleprescence ?

I thought that was a first look at personal shields.

Oh ... could be, yes ... like the ships ... good thought

 

[CMDR Yates]

Yeah, that's what I assumed, they've already said suits will have shields and power management just like ships.

Yeah, I suspect that might be vents on the other side of the ridge, not sure. Looks good regardless.

Can’t wait to Full Pips To Legs and Scooby Doo out of the firefight

I imagine any new srvs (if they exist) will be a big reveal later. There actually wasn't anything new in the trailer, and I say that as someone who really liked it. Other things we know are coming also weren't there, eg plants.

 

[Lightspeed]

Insignia can be worn .... hopefully Triple Elite and maybe beyond that ....

That’s the expression of a Cmdr experiencing a profound moment of wonder at the incredible vista before them, or possibly they’re just using the suit’s reclamation facilities

Teleprescence ?

No shields. BUT
One thing might have been answered..how death will be handled..
If you look closely the figure will dissappear after the barrage of shots.
Respawns confirmed?
Put YT on slowest speed.

Yes, that's what made me think of teleprescence

I’ve watched it at 0.25 speed and always see the characters who are getting shot - shield guy looks like his shield drops but I can still defo see them.
Edit: poor quality, but you can still see four little baddie feet and the right-hand guy hunched over and taking a blaster bolt to the knee (obviously when his career as an Adventurer-like-you ended):
