'''"Space Legs"''' is the colloquial name for the player having the ability to take direct control of their in-game avatar and explore the game without needing to pilot a [[Ships|ship]], [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]], or [[SRV|Surface Recon Vehicle]]. A feature that has been long anticipated by the ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' community, it has been speculated that Space Legs would allow players to undertake extravehicular activities (EVAs) on the surfaces of [[Terrestrial Planet]]s, as well as move within their own ships and even explore [[station]]s. The expansion ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey]]'' will include Space Legs when it releases in Q1 2021.<ref name="Odyssey">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-announcement.546389/ Frontier Forums: Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement]</ref>

=== Commander Chronicles: Lift-Off ===

~~[[File:Commander_Chronicles_Lift-Off|thumb|250px]]~~

On June 26, 2018, Frontier released the cinematic video [[Commander Chronicles]]: Lift-Off. This was the first demonstration of [[pilot]] walking animations using the ''Elite Dangerous'' engine. A Commander is shown walking across a [[station]] [[Landing Pad]], then using a lift to enter a [[Krait MkII]]. He enters the cockpit, where two other Commanders are waiting, sits in the primary pilot seat, and then controls the ship as it lifts off, departs the station, and jumps into [[hyperspace]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M8ZeHZSZ3o Commander Chronicles: Lift-Off (26 June 2018)]</ref>
