Is it possible to get down to the planet [on the new atmospheric New Horizon Speedway maps] and land and explore it at all?asked by Spiro
TL;DRYes, in Free Flight you can land on the new atmospheric map's planet and explore, though the map is built for flight modes and they hope to add more reasons to go down on foot.
The short answer is yes. Free Flight, or any mode, you can go down and do whatever you want. Some modes have playable areas, so you can only go so far. But in Free Flight, just like you can in Broken Moon and Dying Star, you can go land on these landing pads or the space station that we've got there. And the Winter Circle, the atmospheric map that we've got coming for 3.20, you can go land on the planet. You can run across the beaches, go dip in the water if you really want to do that. Now, the map isn't necessarily built for that. It's meant for these flight modes at the moment, but I'm hoping we can expand upon that and give more reason to go down in FPS. Like I was saying earlier, now that we've done the spawning refactor and we can get you in your actual FPS loadout rather than this default one with a pistol, you can set up some event where maybe you set up an org event in Free Flight and you want to go down on the planet and have that 12v12 experience or whatever it may be on the ground of this planet. We want to really facilitate that, especially in Free Flight. Being able to do what you want.
