Before expecting too much, a mistake I made years ago, read the FAQ on the main site.

Is it possible to walk around your ship or in cities/stations/planets ?

No, this is not planned at the moment. It could add some depth to the gameplay, but would need a lot more resources and in-game content than a small independant team can realistically produce. We prefer to focus on space and planet surfaces and ship-to-ship fights/gameplay. Some vehicles (flying cars, shuttles, etc..) might be added, too.

Will it be possible to land on planets ?

Yes, this is actually one of the main interests of the game. Expect a lot of missions on planets. However, the game will not feature non-vehicle gameplay like walking with an avatar on planets or inside buildings.

So you can "be" a ship or you can "be" a vehicle, basically, and only outdoors. I'm sure it will be nice to look at, but I don't think it offers much new beyond that. There is more dynamic player control, for instance, in Universal Combat (many-ship, many-vehicle, avatar, on space, land, or water, crew and squad control), and seamless planetfall is not new either (Frontier: Elite 2, back in early 90's). I too was hoping this would be "It", but I doubt it more as time goes on.

Dang, it appears this is a dupe.

Forget flying cars, those bad boys are the way of the future!!

Raven: Why do you need a flying car? You got wings.

I haven't gotten my flying car yet! Where's my flying car!!!!??????

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

1808? Dude - I'm literally sitting in my flying car - dictating this to my carbot.

Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to my flying car. What's the gas mileage on those things?

I love these old 50's video of the future. Is Plexiglass all that pervasive now (apart from partitions - but in shower doors, bathroom cabinets, closet organisers), or do we just lump it in with what we call "Plastic"?

Now, where's my jetpack, flying car and house-sweeping robot?

if you are crushed by a flying car in a hurricane caused by the enormous amount of pollution coming out of meat farms, then it IS unhealthy for you

They had a flying car on Top Gear, I thought it was already submitted, but I couldn't find it. So here it is:
