For me, I'm really hoping for ocean biomes/planets and large waterfalls and rivers. With the ability to make bases on any planet Id really love maximum biome diversity so I can fly around and pick a best vacation home, but so far the generation of the planets looks to not have too much verticality and I haven't seen more water than a small lake.

I'd also hope for some small form of terrain manipulation so that you can build cave homes and such, but this is all probably a stretch if they haven't shown any of it yet, but that's the point of this post.

What about you guys, what would you love to see in the game that they haven't shown yet, even if it's a pipe dream?

I agree with you on the water front, I mean there are meant to be ~1000 planets so at least a few of them have to be water planets, right?

Obviously they're not going to let you land in the sea, but it'd be nice to see some large bodies of water on at least the goldilocks planets. We did see in the Direct some NPCs lounging on a beach, so I guess there will be at least some shoreline.

Honestly, I just hope there's more to the planets in general and that there's enough handcrafted stuff (or procedural but interesting POIs) that we've just not seen. The optimist in me hopes that they haven't shown a lot because they want people to find it themselves (they, and anyone who's managed to get their hands on it to preview it, keep saying it's a massive game so fingers crossed this is the case).
