Populated ones. Seriously, Bioware do a lot of good things in their game design but making places feel alive is not one of them.
This.
Please do not be another DA:I. Barren wilderness maps are cool and all, so long as you don't spend the near entirety of the game in them. Andromeda needs at least one major hub with some of the major story events and characters based there. The lack of a proper hub in DA:I was disappointing, particularly when it was set in a region that contains one of the settings' greatest cities. Unfortunately all we got to see of that city was a small and largely lifeless marketplace.

How about underwater exploration?In the Univers are many ocean planets...hope will be in Andromeda.
I think this will be a high possibility in the game due to one specific screen shot from the E3 trailer released..
If you look at this closely.. you might see some "underwater plant-life" in the bottom right corner is the closest view of the "plant". This planet looks like it was underwater at one time or another due to the "plants" and the "rusted" river/stream..
I read something ages ago about whether a doughnut-shaped planet is possible. That sounded interesting.
This is possible . It most likely has happened somewhere out there. If you get a huge meteor traveling fast enough it could smash through a planet but leave it intact under the right circumstances.
If they're going by the idea of 'exploring uncharted worlds' again (like ME1), then by definition those places can't be populated. I personally prefer to have both populated and unpopulated planets, but you can't seriously expect every planet in the cluster to have been colonized and/or populated.

A perfect example of this is comparing the two big RPG's that came out in the last eighteen months; DAI and TW3, or more precisely, their biggest cities. Val Royeaux is DAI's if not the Dragon Age world's largest city, Novigrad is The Witcher's. The difference is Novigrad actually feels like the world's largest city, Val Royeaux does not.
For those of you who haven't played The Witcher 3, here's Novigrad:
A living breathing city indeed, all NPCs with their own routines, their own lives, their own complaints. A city whose back alleys are awash with criminal gang activity. A city with music and performing street artists, and one where you, the protagonist, are just another face in the crowd.
I'm not expecting this on every planet you visit but whether its your ship or your base of operations or just the biggest city in the galaxy, one place in MEA should be on equal scale to this. Make us feel like we're a part of a living, breathing galaxy, rather than (like DAI) another sterile, constructed environment, because walking around Val Royeaux felt more like I was walking around a Nuclear test site than a populated City.
At E3 2014 they shown us,a day and night cicle footage...though I don't think they will implement this on every planet we explore...maybe just on the settlement planets.
I wonder...will we explore all planets in a solar system?that will be awesome.
No, since there won't be a solar system in Andromeda. There is only one solar system in the universe: the star system that orbits the star Sol aka our Sun.
Now we may be able to explore all planets in a star system, though even then I have doubts since it is hard to explore Jovian planets more than just orbiting it and sending probes in. We already did that in the previous games. Now if that is what you meant than absolutely we will be able to.
Hi there.
What kind of planets do you want to explore?
And...the planets in Andromeda does have a name,or we may name the planets?
I made two recommendations to Bioware when they asked our opinions back in the day:
1) inhabitable moons around gas giants. These are likely extremely common in nature, given the number of gas giant exoplanets near the habitable zone of their stars that we have already discovered. They briefly touched on this with Arvuna, Caleston and a few other worlds in Mass Effect. The habitable zone doesn't even really apply that much, as tidal heating expands the zone further from the parent star. If I were a betting man, I would bet the probability of life bearing moons out there in the universe is like 100%.
2) Planets with different colors of foliage that reflect the frequency output of their parent stars. On Earth, our foliage is green, mostly. We can predict the predominant color based on solar output maxima. On a red dwarf world, for example, plants would most likely be black.
#1 is already confirmed, and #2 is confirmed as well in that they showed a moon (around a gas giant) with red foliage. Whether or not its that way on the entire moon, who knows. But I am positively stoked that both ideas are adopted in Andromeda. It will create a lot of diversity in environment and immersion for me.
