Hi David,
When can we expect work to start on Elite V?
Call it Elite: Elite
Thanks a lot for answering.
Would branching be so bad, though?
Total conversions are often some of the best and most involved mods (and you don't have to worry about IP... if a modder makes a Star Wars themed Elite: Dangerous that's their problem, not yours).
And they're still sales, after all.
In theory, yes. But the GPUs don't yet exist that can handle 16K - or at least I haven't seen one...
Supercruise seems a bit odd at this point, I find it strange that system authority vessels feel the need to interdict you to scan you. Will there be some changes to this mechanic? My issue with it is, interdiction is more of a hostile action, as it potentially damages the ship. Why not just have the system authority vessels scan in supercruise or have the player be forced into the nav beacon which can be a security check point before they enter super cruise? I don't mind being interdicted by pirates, they are hostile they are going to do what they do, I just think it's strange that the system authority vessels do that as well. I evade these interdictions 99% of the time anyway, but it slows me down if I'm running a cargo delivery mission or something.
Hi David,
Are there onboard tools planned like a data sheet/notepad for pilots who explore, making notes of their discoveries or a basic calculator to work out what commodity will benefit them more when purchasing and selling goods on the market?

Oh yes! This +1
Hi David,
While flying around a system we see NavPoints/Extraction Sites/Warzones/Unidentified Signal Sources
Some times these come into range yet are not within our vision/LOS so can be missed
Are there any plans to announce these in the info menu More info Post

Hi David, firstly, thanks for the opportunity to ask,
1) Are there plans to have Earth 'relics', (Voyager probes, Philae lander etc), in game and discoverable through missions and the like?
2) Could you let me know if you are in game tonight and what server you are on so I can hunt you down and shoot you over the 'offline' decision?, (preferably after the Scotland England game), thanks in advance

Agreed, any more Dev Diarys in the future, we miss the jumpers!
We'll be looking in to what we can do, with lots of different members from the dev team, as soon as the busy schedule calms down a little bit!
Cheers
Hi David, and thanks so much for dropping by! My question is about the status of the Mac version of ED. Are you still feeling that three months after the PC release looks realistic for a Mac release? And as far as the Mac beta is concerned, do you have any idea yet as to how closely that might follow on the heels of the PC release?
See, I only have Macs, won't use Bootcamp, and as such it is driving me a bit batty not being able to experience this game yet.

I was just thinking for future use and the excuse I would have to give in about 5 years as to why I'm taking out a mortgage for a gaming system, thanks, can I use the reply to justify that expense?
