Hi,

Are we going to see some more relevant stats on the system map (e.g. average orbit of object around parent, in Ls) and Outfitting screens (e.g. for thrusters, how much thrust per ton is produced rather than just a class/rating and "optimum mass")? At the moment it's very hard to make decisions about where to go and what to buy, because the really useful info is missing.

Thanks!

Greets Mr. Braben,

Question :

Are there any plans for "Long time employment" missions, for example :
"We need 12000t of grain over the time of one week to fight famine", which can be accomplished with multiple runs ?
Another example would be "We hire you for one week to kill as many Pirates in System X for Y Credits each".

With best regards,
Hanni

Mods - can you compile the Q&A's and link to it in a Kickstarter update please. There are probably folk over there who don't use the forum. There has been quite a bit of activity over there since the BBC article was published.

Thanks.

We know you guys are very bust but, it would be so nice if we could have "dev diary's" back at some point. We miss those. Any chance you and Michael could do more and more often?

It would make us all feel like we are "part of the team" so to speak.

Thanks again!

P.S. When are you coming back to the States? You've got a lot of fans "over here" :D

100% this, it pretty much refers to my question earlier (plus the Orary question to add to it to make finding events easier)

would be good as be a upgrade/drone you can fly with 1st person perspective, you could also use it to check your ship for damage and make external repairs to the hull. (IIRC currently only modules can be repaired not the hull)

Hi David,

Thanks for coming on to answer our questions. Really great!

Will there be more intricate missions than we see right now? For example, you get a mission to deliver such and such to so and so. When you complete that delivery you have the option to pick up a special mission from so and so that includes a bit more intrigue or risk but with greater rewards.

These would be missions that help you get interwoven with a faction and really make your rep with them something you can earn through sequential interactions in the mission system.

Thanks!

I can't believe he's on the forums. FD has just gone up in rep in it's self.

The Panther Clipper is my preferred ship of choice... make it expensive. ;)

I know some of the mods are going to do some compiling of the Q&A, I can't see why it can't be added, Edward Lewis Might be the man to ask though. :)

Hi David,
Do you think there is any chance of a limited sandbox/test mode?
So something that would allow you to choose from a limited palette of ships, equipment, environments and objects and so give you a space in which to experiment without compromising your core game.

Hi David

Many Thanks for bringing Elite Dangerous to the 34th century.....the game looks awesome and getting better every beta on release. :)

I am disappointed that there will be no offline game, but will you be allowing budding pirates, traders and adventurers to horne their skill elsewhere? :(

Thanks again Cmdr Bobbynoguts

Hi David,
any Chance we can get physical models of the ships to throw money at?

That reminds me, as a technical drawing project when I was at school (and when Elite was not long out), I made paper models of all the ships in the manual. I wonder if I can sweet talk anyone in Frontier to getting me some images I can use to make them using the modern ships. Would be great to have some print out and make your own models downloadable, so you can have a model of your own ship. Will have a go at the Premiere.

Not a question but would like to take the time to say thanks to you and for Elite.
Back in 85 I was 13 years old and ended up in Addenbrookes Hospital[ in Cambridge with a stroke, whilst I was in there I was brought Elite on the Spectrum to help with hand-eye coordination.
Also I was very into D&D and I put these two things down to helping me in my recovery from the stroke, so I owe you a lot so many thanks again :)
