Hrm... I wasn't aware that FD was US based. I was certain they were in the UK, but using "Fall" instead of Autumn confuses me.

Zero mention of additional planet types for landing. Hope they are tagged on to updates as they become available.
Kinda like ships were last season.

I believe they stated that landings on planets with atmospheres is slated for a future season, sorry.

Indeed, although we may see landing on lava worlds or at least lava/volcanism on the world we can currently land on.

I've seen that they stated that landings on planet with atmospheres and 'life' were slated for a future season, not planets with atmospheres. I believe somewhere you can see them saying they want to include planets with weather this season, and you can't have weather (well, most weather) without an atmosphere.

Still, I am a bit disappointed at the lack of detail. Perhaps they're doing that so that people can't say, "Well back in newsletter 110 you said you would also have x and y with engineers".
