Space Legs refers to gameplay where players can walk around with extravehicular activity (EVA). This is a highly anticipated feature. It's unclear when space legs will be added to [[Elite Dangerous]]. [[Horizons]] was ruled out, so many people hope it will come during season 3. [[Multicrew]] and [[Holo-Me]] form the foundation for space legs features.

It's always been a core vision of [[David Braben]] that the player is a person in a real futuristic setting, not just a ship. Braben confirmed that [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]] is working on walking about features ''"Yes.

In the Elite Dangerous Development Plan video, David Braben talks about walking on planets, animals, being a big game hunter. The [[ships]] have been designed with [[Ship Interiors|interiors]] in mind. For example walk around in ships, other people's ships, [[Station|stations]] and [[vehicles]] in the future.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM0Gcl7iUM8 Elite: Dangerous Development Plan]</ref>

Newsletter #32 confirms the following: ''"We plan to continue to significantly enhance the game via further expansions after the launch date, using the same incremental development philosophy that we’ve used so far. Major new features will include planetary landings and even walking around inside ships, stations, and planet surfaces with time."<ref>http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=ac1081437f&e=0439f6773e#launch%20and%20beyond</ref>''
''"We also plan to allow you to get up out of your seat and walk around your ship. You can see the level of attention and thought that has already been given to the ship interiors."<ref>http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=ac1081437f&e=0439f6773e#launch%20and%20beyond</ref>''

''"Of course walking round your ship will be nice, but it is the just springboard for a very significant expansion of gameplay – you will be able to experience the inside of starports and interact with other players and AI characters, and even board other people’s ships in space and take them by force, as shown in this concept piece. Of course this will be further expanded to include walking around on the surfaces of planets too."<ref>http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=ac1081437f&e=0439f6773e#launch%20and%20beyond</ref>''
