What are the things you are most excited about happening in ED in the future?

For me it's the following:
1. Planetary landings.
2. Having a hot co-pilot I can look at in that empty seat in my Cobra (Leila from Futurama would be good)
3. Being able to walk around starports and my ship.:D

Mine would be

1. Being able to walk around starports and my ship
2. Being able to have friends aboard my ship (hopefully doing useful things)
3. Better group functionality (the wings update that's being talked about)

Planetary landings is nice, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Especially as I have vivid memories of dying repeatedly in Elite: Frontier because I'd buy a new ship and then forget to buy atmospheric shielding.

1. Fixed bugs.
2. Much more ways for players to interact.
3. Use the procedural code to add more variety to stations etc. I want to have the feeling that there may be something very different out there somewhere. Currently I know there isn't.

Fairly new player - I actually had to query my friend down the street and ask if there actually was more planned for this game.

So for me... I would be excited if there was actually a place for me to see what's coming... does such a thing exist and I've just not found it?

With something like thatperhaps I could answer your question with more certainty.

Definitely Planetary Landings. Jeez, even if its just a scripted landing sequence like Freelancer. I just want to feel like i'm interacting more with the people that live around the galaxy.

+1 to this and if someone says look in the archive thingy. How am I to tell what is still current as far as plans go and what has be shelved (see offline mode etc)

To see the braindead whining go away, so its possible to discuss the high and low of ED in a constructive way.

For me its planetary flight and landings. I dont need the planets to be completely populated or to get out of the ship, but I do want to be able to make planetfall and land on a terrestrial starport.

Multiplayer. I can dream can't I? BTW, planetary flight and landings ,as well as walking around a station have almost zero interest with me right now. I don't think FDEV should pursue it unless it adds a meaningful mechanic to the game. Just to say, "Oh, pretty!" doesn't really do much for me as far as the game is concerned.

Planetary landing without a doubt. Frontier Elite 2 was awesome when I first played it. Despite being choppy it was amazing to seamlessly fly through the atmosphere and land in a city or find a pirate base etc.

Multiplayer enhancements #1 and above all, but at least we know that's coming. Planetary landings, yes of course. I think also with the missions it would be nice to flesh that out. I'm not sure if voiceovers are needed, but maybe have inline photos to go along with it, maybe a mugshot or headshot of whoever is giving the mission. And why not be able to accept/receive/update missions from within the cockpit, while out in supercruise or normal space? Would be cool to enter a system and get a broadcast message for help or to meet an NPC at a certain station etc ... I think overall the mission system can be greatly enhanced and made more immersive than what we have now, which are pretty boring trees of text.

My choice from one of the five new ships (for being a p-beta backer) due in a couple of months. Crosses fingers, "Fer-de-Lance."

before planetary landings I would like

A camera view
In game mail or instance chat channels
grouping or corporation style naming tags
Inventory hanger in stations
Building my own outpost with friends
using mined materials to build things
being able to transport ship modules
In-depth group missions
Bookmarks


Being able to walk about a planet or a station will be amazing, but i would love to see some more features for flight and in the universe first..

Factins having limited resources and ships, and operating those ships in their areas of space. NPCs working the trade routes in a concrete and sensible way, and the signal sources as they are now going away.

Just more things to find and do when exploring really.
The games very pretty and the galaxy's natural wonders so far are nice to look at......but Id certainly like the exploration equivalent of "rare drops". That is, cool finds out in deep space. Natural, Madmade, other...whatever.

Yes, plantary landings and walking about is cool - but its just a graphical thing unless theres more to do and find!

it would be cool if they had audio 'radio chatter'. Hearing pilots and stations talking to eachother would be cool and make the galaxy feel more alive.

1. AI that can win a fight against even the best CMDRs (harder game)
2. Walking around ship/station/ruined ships (more imersion)
3. landing on planets (with diferent flight model on planets)

Things I fear
1. Mass communication channel with non RP CMDRs
