You're not making any sense.
What Features do you want for Space Legs in The Next Era?

Lol. Very good.
What type of arcadey? Is the combat DER play like Rainbow Six or more like Bethesda arcadey?
Also are the MQ/side quests heavily scripted and linear like a Bethesda RP (i.e. single player Fallout 4)? Or completely non linear (with full player choice) like an Obsidian game (i.e Fallout New Vegas and Outer Worlds)?
Finally, is this an open world FPS sand box shooter like a Fallout/Skyrim experience (with full interactivity with the game world) or limited to interaction with few items (more of a Rainbow Six or GTAV type of object-world environment interaction?)
Regardless, game play looks amazing. Definitely adding this to my Christmas stocking wish list
The game came out years ago. There are some major disappointments - despite the game saying you can play several ways, you have mandatory boss fights which are only really served with combat skills, so if you focused on something else, you'll have a hard time. Your other skills don't factor into these boss battles at all.What type of arcadey? Is the combat DER play like Rainbow Six or more like Bethesda arcadey?

Also the ending it literally just a panel where you choose which ending you want and push that button. There's a little variation based on how you played but it's really just buttons.
I'd like to board other ships, maybe be able to even steal them. Maybe we will be able to fulfil alive bounties. I also hope that we'll be able to switch seats as helm. I should be able to stear my ship from any seat (especially eyeing the front nose seat of the conda).
Space legs features I'd like to see.
To be able to buy slippers
To be able to roller blade
Get upgrade skill to be able to moonwalk
Proper shoelace physics.
The ability to store more items using trouser pockets.

Let's not forget pedicure for Arx.
A whole new line of paint jobs, would keep the money rolling in for FDev.
I don't want space legs because I am not interested in space legs.
Unless you're a Thargoid, then legs should start at the thorax.
I want frontier to bring the immersion in my cockpit.
It doesn‘t matter if it’s a cutter or a sidewinder, the ships don‘t look big.
Sorry for my english btw.
I mean, I sit in an anaconda and it feels like a small fighter. Not the thrusters or so. Just the feeling of piloting a big, mean monster is lacking.
When I chose the camera, I see my little avatar sitting in this big machine, but the cockpit-view don‘t give this immersion.

That is where VR rescues you
Interesting. Seems worth checking out given the price on Steam. Thanks!
That's just silly hyperbole.
Seems you've been one of the unfortunate few who were traumatized by SC?
Or never played a space game (or non space game) without legs in your entire life ever?
Because all bugs aside, seriously......
And regurgitating a part of a previous thesis wall of text
The whole point of SPACE LEGS is to give Cmndrs ALTERNATIVES TO PLAYING ED. i.e. Given them OPTIONAL CAPABILITY to perform EVA activities outside your SRV or ship. This in turn, would lead to countless emergent game play opportunities and high replay value. This optional Space leg/ EVA capability would provide for a variety of mission based and sand box emergent game play in both space and surface/planet.
You could also have the ability to add modules to your Holo Me suit. Which you could strategically customize depending on what you planned to do while EVA outside your ship or SRV. So for example, these suit modules could be:
You could also have the ability to add modules to your Holo Me suit. Which you could strategically customize depending on what you planned to do while EVA outside your ship or SRV. So for example, these suit modules could be:
- as O2 tank modules to assist in deep trek exploration on planets, outside your SRV/space ship
- shorter combat trek focused missions (so carry more weapon/ammo and med kit slots in event of hostile PvP or Thargoid encounters).
- sandbox EVA activity from the SRV.Might need to go on foot to complete things like:
- sand box/PP missions of sabotage, data espionage at planetary facilities. Or for a challenge
- executing skimmer missions doing FPS on foot. Which would have the added challenge if these were being done in Open with hostile intent PvP Cmndrs. Or
- manually perform deep space ship repair when your ship is dead in the black. VERY useful alternative feature v. having to self destruct your ship.Especially if
- your ship's power plant is busted so your AFMU can't function. This is the most important reason for an EVA repair feature. Because it's the ONLY and very dangerous way to repair your power supply to a minimum working level i.e. restore it to a minimally working state that could get the AFMU to function.
- Your AFMU is inefficient (like low grade E vs A level) or damaged. So doing EVA ship repair would aid and support this process
- serve as a life line to the rebuy screen. Especially if you're playing in Solo and don't have Fuel Rat or squadron back up to help you out if stranded.
- when failing to plan ahead i.e. if you forget to add an AFMU module, lack mats to synth and/or lack repair limpets to repair your ship. So you can EVA and do ship repair and you're not forced to blow up your ship and revisit a rebuy screen.
- being able to emergency evac your main ship on the fly for your fighter ship if NPC pilot crew is killed and vice versa etc.
- performing dangerous, dare devil exploration excursions inside gas planetary atmospheres for an extremely limited period of time (due to hostile environment, radiation etc). With the significant possibility to even have your main ship destroyed as an added risk. Reward is a notable entry in the Codex and recognition for Pilot's Federation
- doing mat collection/mining activities on foot on planets with extreme low G, steep slopes, rocky surfaces that make SRV navigation and/or landing your ship difficult. Or
- performing mission/sand box based SAR missions. Space legs provide the ability to gain better access to SAR sites to collect escape pods etc.
- exploring crash sites to collect/harvest mats for synth, mining, exploration Codex entry rewards etc.
- investigate biological life/guardian tech up close (and possibly get credit for fully exploring a Guardian tech or dangerous Thargoid structure/site by default of being up close on foot). Works similar to how first explorers get recognition and credit in Codex for discovering new systems/collecting complete planetary data with the FSS etc.
- exploiting potential trading opportunities with other players. Like during
- CG meet ups or pre-designated Cmndr meet ups in Open/PG instances.
- Friendly player to player planet encounters with normal/black market commodities exchange trading (for credits).
- Friendly player to player planet encounters with normal market commodities transfer (for free). i.e. giving another player/Wing member free vital needed supplies like water, O2, health med packs etc. Could be in context of a random SAR encounter, FR encounter etc.
- trading hot illicit cargo in Federation space with NPC contacts could be extended designated NPC encounters outside of planetary base black market contacts. Especially useful if the planetary base is not controlled by the black market criminal's faction. A RNG POI could direct you to drive your SRV to a designated location to meet the criminal/pirate NPC. Player could exit their vehicle and manually transfer illicit/illegal cargo from their personal inventory to NPC inventory.
- For larger/special commodities like slaves, Cmnder would restrict player to taking 1-2 slaves in the SRV (as you can't carry them around in your back pack inventory). Player drives their SRV to NPC pirate/dealer/privateer contact, conducts trade and cargo transferred from SRV to NPC vehicle.
Because as an apparent nay sayer of space legs, what additional non space leg features could FDev add to the game to enhance the game play? Particularly since the existing seater game mechanic is now dated when compared to far more popular existing space titles that have space legs? I'm not talking about atmospheric planets, ice worlds, FCs/Capital Ships, C&P improvements etc etc. I'm talking about revolutionary game mechanics which will breathe life into the game title. Make vet players return and/or attract new players.
Even Rebel Galaxy Outlaw 2 (with its psuedo space leg game play) makes for a more engaging game play. Other space titles (with subjective art color schemes and/or aged graphics) fare very well to date. These are the likes of NMS (doing VERY WELL and consistently rated higher than ED on Steam's top 100 PC games) and X4 Frontier.
