Entering dense atmosphere planets with real flora and fauna - but it would break the current exploration... Exploration of dense atmosphere to find more and smaller guardian and thargoid and perhaps 3 alien ruins and enter them on foot.

If there is one thing Elite Dangerous players do well it’s speculation 😂 Does Elite need a new end game level asset? The acquisition of wealth and the purchase of a FC has, in some circles, been considered as an end game state. For me, Elite is about experiencing new things, so as long as there are things in the game I’ve never tried, I will keep coming back to my flight deck. Base building feels as if it could the likely candidate. Potential minimum rework from an artwork and asset perspective but with interesting potential impact on the BGS. Personally, I would really like to see accumulation of wealth not be the barrier to entry for a new feature. o7

agree with everything video dont think it going to be anything else but base building tho. just one simple reason it has insane money makin potential for fdev. there goin too be selling all kinds decorations an stuff in store probs expensive to but im realy fine wit it hopin they make loads cash too keep elite alive an well and hopefully more awesome things in future for elite

If not base building, I hope for something player driven at least, perhaps being able to build starports and colonize systems. You'd start with a small dock and work your way up towards a coriolis, collecting resources a long the way.

The same argument you made about on foot mining can be applied to base building. I'm a fleet carrier owner myself. I felt the same as you, until another commander countered that having your own base on your own pristine planet could become somewhat lucrative just like other forms of mining. On a different not I think it's somewhat of a mistake for FDev to play the "I got a secret" game in my opinion because if it isn't either of these options the player base might not be too thrilled in the end. They should just come out and announce it.

Base building is unrelated and off-topic for ED. If there will be some kind of base-building i think more related will be a kind of Space stations or space hubs. Ship interiors is more on-topic for ED so i go with that

Base building sounds cool but I think (if) it will be a very expensive thing to build, maintain and to prevent it from falling to another faction. and it might be just a less useful carrier, Ship interiors are pointless unless there is some gameplay attached to it, i'm not going to walk though my entire Cutter just because i can. Elite is in its heart a spaceship/trade/explore/combat simulator, so i'm hoping for something to do with flying spaceships. Fronter is good with management games, so maybe it can do something with that. The option to start a company? hire NPC’s to go mining and fill up the company’s carrier? or trade? I would like that.

I'd like to see trading of all materials for those with credits but not fond of mining

I'm sort of hoping for racing to be added. Both ship and SRV.

1st came to my mind was base building. Everything is prepared for it already. Like PMF applications closed, Ody's recipes. "Caves" are already there - it's settlements which you can wipe or robber. Caves itself aren't possible by the engine. "Ship robbery" - called "hatch breakers". Everything you mentioned is there already in 1 way or another, except base buildings.

I'm going to guess "racing". Support for setting start and end points and checkpoints.

There's a few things that are s'posed to change, and I wonder if this is something new to replace it. BGS is closed for new squadrons. Materials are due to change, and something new for "Galactic Powers" - I feel this could all be rolled together into "Base Building" - especially when you consider Frontier's other big names (Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, Jurassic World etc..)

Super hopeful for this game to make a competitive leap

At best but unlikely, base building/ship interiors. Most likely in my mind, story missions that'll coincide with the PP rework.

Id like to see the ability for us to land on different planets and maybe upgrade our exploration suits for high gravity worlds and lava worlds etc also gas giants o7

uh lemme gusss maybe it might be something to do with, uhh i dont know, uhh ummm THARGOIDS

i Hope 🎉BASEBUILD🎉

Ship interiors gang!!! The base building fanatics don't realize just how game changing ship interiors would be; it could add so much more to do, including but not limited to EVA and boarding ships. Base building, as you pointed out, is really pointless in Elite Dangerous. Regardless, I'm not a fanatic like them and I will love the new feature regardless of what it may be; I just really hope it's ship interiors. And no, it's not *that* hard to implement it into the game, they can just reuse the same system they already implemented for the carriers.

I'm just trying not to get the hype... ...but I'm definately getting the hype 😂

Hi, installed the game and I am confronted with so many options to start. Mind-boggling, which option do you suggest I start with? I have them all. Regards J

Its most likely base building. Base building is already in the code

Elite Dangerous cannot have dungeons or caves. Years ago they said in a special streaming with developers that they can't generate them procedurally. So they can't manually put these things in for every single planet. Assumptions to be discarded from the beginning.

Yes but is that oddersey

A story mode would be the best thing for this game, this and ship interior is all the game needs to be the best space sim.
