About docking: during the docking you can control your ship. In a certain area you will be asked whether you want to get on base/planet or not.

In our project players can create character as in any MMORPG: select eyes, hair color etc. On planet or base player can move like any third-person shooter. And when you capture a battleship, you just run on the battleship and shoot at the enemy

But now we have problems with player models - .dfm format If someone convert or create some models and animations - it would be great

As someone who always sees people request these type of features for any space game, I am very wary about whether or not this is a good idea.

In pretty much every space game ever made, having an avatar to walk around on the ground requires a colossal expenditure of effort on the part of the developers with very little gain. Doing anything on foot while at the same time having the regular game in space is essentially creating two separate games. They are so unrelated in terms of how they are executed I just don't see how it would be worth the effort.

The only way I can see this working, and this applies to huge AAA space sims (As if those exist anymore.) is if you have an entire team dedicated to getting the on foot stuff working correctly and in a satisfactory and polished manner. Even then, especially at this stage of development, I would rather those resources be spent getting the core game up to speed.

If you really want to do something like that I recommend it be the absolute last thing you do, and release the game before you start working on any on foot type stuff.
