Well the bad news there is, this update is extra slimline & buggy because the majority of the team are working on an update of 'whole new game' proportions. Kinda surprised you've forgotten that
What do you want from space legs?

That sounds like an awesome idea! I could picture flying down to a planetary surface with my load of troops, dodging incoming fire, ships exploding around me. I'm picturing a planetary assault scene from Star Wars episode 2 or 3 where clones were being brought in on drop ships.

What about jet pack legs! Like Iron Man
All of all, in my book the best space legs can add to the game are:
1. Some new exploration features. New things to find, interesting places to get to.
[Although we can also use plenty of new things to find in the existing gameplay, be it in space or on a planets surface. No need for legs for that. ]
2. A social environment. The game has radio stations, etc. (By players for players. ) But a number of people in spaceships, either all docked or all having to watch their back all of the time, don't really make the best party. By providing actual social space, with people moving around in human shape, which they generelly are more familiar with when socializing, might really add a new layer to the game.

Thnx for the trip down memory lane. I remember being so happy I finally figured out how mining worked!
Ontopic: Meh spacelegs.. Game is fine without legs
Game was fine when it first released too, it was fine before planetary landing arrived too. But all those updates and the expansion has added things that make the game better. Hopefully space legs will do the same.
Just curious, for those that have expressed a desire to have the ability to wander around a planet on foot and collect mats etc - how will you carry them back to the ship? Will we have to purchase a little wagon or a wheelbarrow? As for scanning beacons, will we have to purchase and then carry the necessary scanning equipment to perform the task?
Or will it all be ….. M A G I C
How about a limpet that follows you around to Hoover up all the goodies
Pants. Most definitely pants.
As long as we get space feet as well. And some pants. Wouldn't want to walk outside my ship without some space pants.
That's probably one of the better solutions but would need some serious thought. Does it only act like the current limpets and pick up one object at a time then return it to the ship? If so that would mean you can't dismiss your ship nor move too far away from your ship (can't remember the distance but doesn't the ship Auto-dismiss if you move too far away from it now?). The only real solution is apply the good old FD Magic and have it pick up as much as you like.
Personally I wish they would get rid of the FD Magic in the game .......
I prefer to go around naked.As long as we get space feet as well. And some pants. Wouldn't want to walk outside my ship without some space pants.

Possible compromise on the yes/no axis: Do things like they did in the old Thunderbirds episodes. Not quite as slo-mo, though.
I found that most of my interactions with the new players were during the SRV activities (Guardian sites, "mat" bases like Dav's Hope etc) or at the space ports while staying at landing pad. Well, not all that meetings were fine, griefers are also players, but I really seldom see a random player saying "hi" when passing by in open space while it is absolutely common when we are on the ground. I think spacelegs will give us a new scale: smaller distances (close-up to the objects), slower speed (so we have time to notice the details) and it would boost the social side of the game even if FD will not add the space bar.
On foot planet exploration could be quite cool if you could set up a "tent" with breathable athmosphere in it. You move away with the SRV as usual. The SRV transports the tent and the equipment needed for the activities, and the ED version of the Boston Dynamics Mule you need to carry the heavy stuff around ( materials you carry, oxygen reserves, and so on ). When you are at the location you "plant the tent" and carry the Mule around.
I'd like to experience something like that. Fdev should implement the "need" for this kind of activities, like some kind of resources that can be gathered on foot only, or some kind of surface exploration data. Also some kind of resource management, like radiation exposition, having to manage surface temperature ( too hot / cold ) to survive in the open. Mule battery level and so on. Solar panels to recharge stuff... need for water and food, based on time spent away from the ship and amount of work done.....
Esploration / survival... i'd like that. A lot.

Damn i like Astroneer
Well we are in the 34th century, I expect nothing less.
I also want some of those things, especially walking around ships and stations :-D
And while I get not everyone likes FPS combat, I think they should add it for those who would like it.
It can be added to some locations, but not all - like to some of the Thargoid structures.
Yeah, yeah, I know some people will argue and argue that their FPS combat shouldn't be in the game - but who cares? (I don't)
I didn't want a pink paintjob or weapon colors, but I'm not "ranting" to have them removed from the store (lol) since I support game-play diversity in the game, even if they spend time adding features I won't use but other will
Variety - it's the spice of life!
