This makes total sense and I just can't see why we can't get this soon! Great idea Kirith!

The devs played with planetary flight a while back at a fanfest. I think they need to continue on that path. Ambulation phase two, life on planets.

Yeah, we need this.

With regards to you point 1, some planets already look like they are populated. You can see all kinds of little lights, looking like cities, coastlines and highways. A nice example of such a planet is on one of my snapshots here. So, CCP could take it from there and make those little lights real destinations to go to.

Walking in Stations could indeed be a start for such an expansion. Imagine that.. 5000+ systems (excluding wormhole systems for the moment) with planets waiting to be colonized!

Awesome ideas indeed! The expansion of point 3 indeed is worth much praise. The ideas between your ideas and mine would be phenomenal to see. You obviously have had the similar thoughts that I have had but for much longer. Scale would certainly allow things to move along incrementally to be sure. Great ideas indeed Kirith!

Revamped planets really would be awesome. Even if they just got a bit of a facelift that would be a start. It would add a whole new layer of richness that everyone could exploit. Obviously in Empire it would be mostly handled by NPCs but it conquerable nullsec there's lots of potential for harnessing planets like moons are currently used now. It does seem wrong that moons are more useful than planets.

I fully support this idea! I play a web-based game called Star Wars Combine and its more about planet development than Eve is. I'd love to see it implemented here though... it'd really give you more of a feeling of having "sovereignty" over an area.

I think this is great! But honestly, before they go giving planets purposes they really need to up the Planet Textures... They look so bad next to these new graphics.

CCP has, I think, said they wanted to be able to have players fly down to planets and land on them, eventually. Perhaps "Walking In Stations" will be a precursor to "Walking On Planets"?

I couldn't agree more, I think the problem is probably just how far do you go with it?

When I first read about this game and alliances controlling huge regions of space, I kind of just assumed planets would be an important part of it. I had these grand images of huge fleets laying waste to a planets population from orbit and then reseeding the planet from more loyal 'homegrown' colonists ferried from an already controlled system.

Terraforming dry uninhabited rocks, colonizing and then building up some kind of industry on the planet that would supply said alliance with needed resources.

It could get so involved and complex that it was almost another game in itself, I'm sure CCP will get around to doing something with planets one day.
