I think he was refering to the movement system in general. But for now I think I'll keep it, the only other thing I could think of was going to a pixel based movment, but I think that would be a horrendous spam of packets to the server.
As far as on foot, there will be plenty of quest for that as well. First of all, building and maintaining a colony is expensive, not something you can simply begin from the beginning. You'll have to do delivery runs, or asteroid mining, or other types of missions to gain cash. There will be full cities and starbases to explore on foot, shops to visit, shady buisness oppertunities, ect, it is not soley limited to flight and planetary building/battling.
If you are in a neutral starbase, you may just get into a laser pistol fight with members of the oposing faction, who knows.
But this is a multi faceted project, expect many paths of gameplay to be available.
