Oh man, seamless landing for some reason always really appealed to me. I remember a game back on PS2 when it first came out called Mace Griffin, which was a space sim much like Freelancer, but when you docked you didn't have to do it automatically, but you could fly it manually. Once you land you didn't just jump out of the ship, you could get up from the controls and walk around inside your ship, and then go outside. It did have FPS elements too, so it wasn't all like Freelancer.
Being able to walk around in your ship and where you land would be unbelievably cool. Imagine chasing someone down onto a planet and gunning them down in some kind of FPS gameplay...:DProbably not possible though, even with the source code.
