With gas giants and atmospheric landings...Cloud Cities...

Cities? Look at the pathetic planetary bases we have now.
I'm not sure why we can't have better looking colonies now. We also need more than just stations. I'd like to see military orbital outposts, pirate outposts, bars, shipyards. I think what you really want is a universe that feels more alive and lived in.

You'll get some of that in the next patch: bars, stations, restaurants, general floating type assets, etc, loads of those are being added
This is just a pipedream for the next major expansion.
Been there, suggested that, got the silence as a reply.
Community seems to like the idea. Developers and Community Personnel say nothing.

Most likely 'cos if FD says something in lines of "We like the idea and we' d like to have it ingame" 2 months later forums catch fire 'cos FD hasnt implemented yet and angry forumites start creating endless bashing threads "this game is dead" "im leaving!!!!!!" "fdev s#cks"!! "
Remember 2.0/1.5?

Someone didn't watch the video. You should, it's eye-opening.
Eye opening in the sense of "why all that attention to mars?", yep.
Cool video, though.
And sky cities, balloons or sky hooks, or star wars style, or gangam style, whatever really. It's a cool idea.
Spacetime is awesome channel, highly recommended. Getting very sciency at points, but I can still grasp basics when he explains.
3.3 will bring lots of structures in space we always wanted. They feel very good, and lot of them have interesting traffic and outlook (medicine facilities look actually planned and designed like hospitals, etc). As for 'pathethic' settlements on ground, they are huge. Considering amount of people living in space, they might be even too huge at some points.
As for gas giants and cities in gas clouds - I can totally see it happening, quite soon enough in fact (if technological advancements of 3.3 is any evidence). Gas mining stations, similar to stations we have in rings.

The same things that keep our ships hovering over planet surfaces. Thrusters.
