The expansions include significant new features such as seamless freeform (manual pitch/yaw/roll) [[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#Will it be possible to manually land on planets.3F|atmospheric flight and landings]] ([[Atmospheric Landings]]) and [[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#Can I walk around the ship.2C planets and space stations.3F|on-foot and out-of-ship activities]]''' ('''[[Space Legs]]''').''' For example FPS combat, walking around and boarding ships, walking in stations and walking and driving vehicles on entire 1:1 scale populated living planets. Also '''[[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#Will I be able to hire crew for my ship.3F|multi-player crew]]''' and '''[[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#Can I own and control capital ships.3F|player executive controlled capital ships]]'''.
