I see, some want this, other dont. People complain about lack of content. Bases would give commanders all the content they want. Although, adding bases should it come after adding planets with atmospheres and 1 person walking? I can see this maybe come in season 3-4. Elite is a big game and I wonder what the next implementation would be. Although adding bases as an addon/update like they added power play or CQC would be nice. If its possible. As we now have all the planet space we can want, why not be able to build a simple base to start with then add more advanced stuff later. But I think we need 1 person walking/interaction before bases is added. Bases would fit very nicely along with loot and crafting/synthesizing. I just wonder how far they will take Elite Dangerous. Is it possible we can have it all? Or is the galaxy just to big to add to many features. As long as Frontier makes money and we like what we see, I cant really see that it is not possible. But off course it will take time.
In 3 years Frontier has given us a full scale galaxy to play with, 30 ships and ability to land on planets without atmospheres. Loot and crafting is coming along with ship launched fighters,multi crew and avatars. Would not 1 person walking be a feature to add along with avatars and commander creation? Or would the avatars be something we can see inside the ship at first and the SRV, and after some time we might be able to move them around inside the ship. Well, its speculations.
So many things can be added in this game, but also things that exist can be polished a lot. Like NPCs, wingmen, missions, pois, commander missions (bounty hunting).
We will never run out of things to speculate over, that´s for sure. We also know ship modification is coming. This will add much to the game and make some ships truly unique. I also wonder about asteroid bases and adding bigger asteroids/comets into the game.
