I just want to be able to crew my ship with two friends, land on a planet, send them both off in SRVs, and take off to provide them with air cover.

[j.s.b.]

Considering that this big update is a long way off, and it's the biggest change in years for ED, I'd like to see 'Dev Diaries' come back between now and then.

[GhostHandGamer]

if they add space legs then I want to see star port bars. Perhaps thats where you would find less than legal missions or items

[thoughtcriminal]

Space legs would be nice, but in the meantime Frontier please add some life into the game, radio chatter from nearby ships, hired NPC's in the cockpit, video interaction with NPC's in the starport for mission selection, contacts etc.
In my opinion the universe feels lifeless and a bit of audio recording and animation effort would mitigate that feeling a lot.

"There's nothing that acts more human than human players."
I just pictured Yamicks running around a station tea-bagging every player in sight.

[KnaifuYuri]

I would honestly be fine with just walking around in our ships for now.

[zinkem]

Can we at least get my hired pilot in the chair next to me? I mean ....

[anjayl]

*"there's nothing that acts more human than actual human players"* Allow me to disagree :) ... Scripted NPC act more humanly, because real humans in video games run everywhere... they sprint from the coffee machine to the cookie jar. Real humans are immersion breaking more often than not :)

If the leaks are true, I can imagine a mission or distress signal where you come across a capital ship that has been attacked by Thargoids. You are able to dock on the ship and explore inside the vessel to find any survivors (or cargo) but while onboard you encounter the Thargoids. It would feel like the movie Alien or something. I know this is wishful thinking and will likely never happen, but I wonder why they have given Thargoids a model? This would also make use of space legs (which is basically already confirmed) but in a very interesting way, as well as making capital ships more interesting and allow boarding. Space legs could also be useful for EVA and ship repair.
Also, space legs has the potential to make Frontier a lot more money. Players would pay just to personalize and customize every aspect of their ships interior. So if you want more money, Frontier...

I believe this game has the potential to be the best sci-fi game in existence. I love this game. I just wish the devs did too.

[Harbinger]

It would be nice to have more than friends on your ship than the two players who can join you.

Actually hire a decent sized crew to potter around your ship.

I'd love to see my Corvette alive with crew chatter and crew members going about their predetermined jobs or relaxing in some sort of cafeteria or in their bunk rooms.

The most heart-breaking thing about E:D is that we have space trucking, we have system distributing news, we have built-in player for said news, but we can't get a frigging radio.

[easymode]

If the game were to switch to central servers, even if limited to spots like Shinrarta or Sol, I would buy that update irrespective of spacelegs. A living galaxy needs more than 4 people at a time in a given location.

[KallmeMatt]

Great video! I hope spacelegs Will be in 2020!

[austinm]

I'm all for Space Legs, but I also want to be able to "land" my ship on a water world, which means my ship needs to be submersible. Be honest people, everyone here wants to re-enact that scene from Star Trek: Into Darkness and run away from the natives and then call your Anaconda to rise from the depths of the ocean to come rescue you.

Besides imperial ships already look like fancy submarines anyway.

[McLoven-vmck]

Elite's core game play is good, the game has good bones but that your game experience is effectively that of a spaceship at least for me keeps the universe arms length away. Just adding that human element has such a huge impact on immersion letting you feel like your more a part of the universe. Regardless of how you feel about Star Citizen and developer Cloud Imperium that is one thing they got right from the very start, an immersive, first person experience. If Frontier could find away to add that sort of play experience to Elite that would be amazing.

[smokeclouds]

Space legs and npcs will make ED the best game ever.

[ThomasMoraes]

They should use star citizen as reference for space legs

[MrSpruce]

Imagine leaving your cockpit/bridge and physically running through corridors to an escape pod when you're low hull.

[Ploskkky]

I am not interested one bit in multiplayer. The things I want most are:
1. More variation. f.e. a mining station should have a completely different exterior than an High tech or industrial station
2. More variation and diversification: Imperial space should feature Gutamaya space stations designs. Imperial authorities should only use Imperial ships.
3. Planetary mining mechanic, perhaps with a mining SRV
4. More types of SRV: heavy assault, Mining, reconnaissance skimmer, amphibious etc.
5. A good and solid npc crew mechanic with more functions.

The above 5 things are relatively easy to do and I think they should have been done already (at least in part). My 6th point is much, much more difficult to do, but I hope for a 2020 release:
6. Access to atmospheric planets and upper atmospheres of gas giants
7.0. Personal base construction, for this we need spacelegs... so....
7.1. Spacelegs
