    The Timescale for 'Walking Around Your Spacecraft & Landing on Planets' Was 2-3 Years

    Posted: 11 Mar 2020 04:25 AM PDT

    The Timescale for 'Walking Around Your Spacecraft & Landing on Planets' Was Approx 2-3 Years

     

    DB: We'll build all sorts of additional functionality, like walking around inside your spacecraft, landing on planets, all this sort of thing…

     

    GC: Would you put a ballpark on that? Two, three years?

    DB: That sort of time scale.

     

    Planetary Landings Aimed For 'Within a Year of Release' & Hit:

     

    The most notable and anticipated of these is of course seamless planetary landings. Whilst it wouldn't be sharing anything new with you to confirm this feature post-launch, I can confirm that we hope to implement it within a year of release, if possible:

    Sandy: Definitely yes. Hopefully (barring issues) within the first year post-release

     

    'Exiting the Ship' & 'Interiors' Were Planned for the Second PDLC:

     

    ...it is the update that will allow players to exit their ship where voice acting will become especially important:

    Sandy: We will need some form of voice acting and Voice overs, especially from update 2 onwards (when interiors and first person is available).

     

    Conclusion:

     

    Ok so clearly something went wrong. We can only guess what. The TLDR is probably: Legs difficult ;)

     

    Were there big technical blockers, to do with the core tech, and maybe console compatibility? Were dead-ends pursued that had to be abandoned? Were the devs overstretched due to working on Seasonal features + flagship expansions + rolling GAAS content?

     

    Probably all of the above.

     

    Flip Side:

     

    As painfully slow as the shift to non-Seasonal delivery has been, and as discouraging as it was to learn that they only entered full production in 2018 (IE they hadn't managed to start + maintain a full DLC run in parallel with Horizons). I'm taking the following positives:

     

    • They seem to be through whatever blockers they were struggling with.
    • They're focused primarily on the DLC, and making it a big 'all in one' delivery.

     

    TLDR: Game's not dead. Game's adding something chunky finally.

    ;)

     

    EDIT: Just to be clear, I doubt they were aiming to get to all of the proposed Legs gameplay done inside 3 years. Probably just the first Seasonal update of a Legs PDLC.

    I couldn't believe my eyes at first, a massive ring system visible the moment you jump into the system. Its roughly 84 ls in diameter.

    Flying to Deciat 6a with a unit of metal alloy. About 15 jumps out from Darnielle's Progress my ship overheated and Jettisoned the metal alloy... had no idea that was even a thing. I promise I'll get there eventually Felicity!

    Where is the game going?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2020 07:45 AM PDT

    Hi guys! Been dipping in and out of elite for the past few years. I've got nearly 1000hours total and always love coming back. But lately it seems like the game is not having active development - despite the fact that there's a paid expansion on the way. Does anyone have any clarification that the game is being worked on and that we can expect more content other that fleet carriers? I worry about sinking too much more time into it if it's still a dead end. I almost feel like my time in star citizen is better spent (since the recent persistence update) because the game at least has targets and content to look forward to. I remember elite's 10 year roadmap years back, is there any evidence at all that this sort of thing is still in action?

    Made my very first trip to the galactic center. First trip over 2k ly from the bubble as well. Here's a few POIs I visited around the area. Next stop: Colonia.
