Will there be many planets to go to in precursors?

In precursors, will it have many different planets that you can land on and explore, or will it be pretty much based only in space and on space stations?

That's a good question.  You know, with extra planets and such, we'd have to basically design a unique terrain for each one.
Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

Right now, I'm thinking we'll have a LOT of planets, space stations, ships, and such. It's gonna be huge.

So get designing that terrain, guys :).

Actually, your right.  I'll see when I'm finished with what I'm doing right now, but I should do that first.

In conception, there will be many planets. However, I am thinking of limiting the ability to say, land arbitraily on them. I think that we could get away will a 'less is more' kind of thing. Check out Freelancer for a concept of how I'd like it to work.
