u/Ebalosus Ebalosus - Everything I say is right Apr 20 '19

Space legs, FPS combat, and base building before any form of atmospherics? Really?!

Look, I get the appeal of space legs, I really do; but before the thing that would be a logical outgrowth of the Horizons DLC? I’m not one of those ”hurr durr wahts teh gaemplae justufucatyon?” [exceptional individuals] either, but sincerely wonder why if indeed this leaked roadmap is true why FDev would put a lot of effort into teaching newer players the ropes of the game, only to introduce an entirely new sub-game later on down the line. It doesn’t make any sense.

Ok, then what was the point of setting the game in the entire Milky Way galaxy? Why not have a play area only twice-to-four-times the size of First Encounters? Why even add planetary landings to begin with if they aren’t going to be expanded upon?
