That says more about those viewers I would say...

I find it quite interesting to watch what's happening with their other games, simply because they're made in the same Cobra engine as Elite.
Seeing the new additions to the game engine gives me an idea how they improve and expand on it.
As an example, the recent addition of water physics and lighting upgrade sounds rather promising for the future of Elite and takes us one step closer to say water worlds.
It's an interesting thing to watch for me!

Yeah but from what I can tell you're a sensible human being. A large portion of the twitch audience seem to be typical gamers with not a shade of patience or restraint whatsoever.
I find it interesting too. I'm not watching as closely as the Elite segment, but I do watch and enjoy the other stuff. Mostly.

I’d agree, but players have been saying that since the original Planet Coaster’s release.
JWE2 got DLSS / Ray Tracing / modern AA years ago - if it was just 'it's in the engine, all the games will get it' then we would have them too by now.
Anyway, seems roots is enjoying the wait so all good

That they are interested in Elite and not Planet Coaster for example?
Most of that was tongue in cheek. It was from me anyway. I know full well the version of Cobra in ED is not the one used by their other games. It does imply the possibility if not the eventuality of new capabilities. Maybe one day we'll get AA too.
Interesting statistic how did you find it.

Opinion, certainly not an accurate statistic...
Ok, digs at myself aside, have you been watching Frontier livestreams and noticed the viewer numbers?
For example, Frontier stream a black screen with rollercoaster noises for 48 hours and the most I saw watching that was about 1,200 to 1,400.
Frontier unlocked streams when they have big Elite news is about 8,000.
So yes 90% is an opinion, but it's not that inaccurate (give or take an error margin of ... say ... 90%
)We thought the same when Frontier made Rollercoaster Tycoon III and speculated that handling crowd numbers would be used in making Elite IV (as we called it back then). There hasn't been any correlation of transferable development across games, at least not obvious to me or maybe even to anyone outside of Frontier.
Oh and given my 90% margin of error, I could be wrong.
Yes I have watched all of the Frontier Unlocked streams to date.
No not really.
That many, I would maybe have that running if it were bird song but not roller coasters in the dark.
So around 7,000 more people are interested in a live game news event with something to watch than a recording with a black screen and noises.
Not exactly a like with like comparison.
Now if you had just included the uncertainty levels at the start nobody reasonable would have questioned your statistics.So yes 90% is an opinion, but it's not that inaccurate (give or take an error margin of ... say ... 90%
I should point out I was just expressing curiosity about how you got the numbers, worried that you might be counting names as they flash up at near unreadable speed in the sidebar.

What does that have to do with my post? It doesn't make watching it any less interesting.We thought the same when Frontier made Rollercoaster Tycoon III and speculated that handling crowd numbers would be used in making Elite IV (as we called it back then).

I have plenty of time for you, even if, at times, I may take the mickey a little, but that is just me.
I think our other friend missed the context of opinion in your post. On the forum that is altogether too easy.
It'a all good, I wasn't offended. I actually enjoyed the chance to take a dig at myself.
You were speculating how development in one game would improve the other, and I managed to word my reply in the most non-sensical way possible (not on purpose, I'm just a dingus like that).
Hi All
I presume the Live stream is still going to be shown this evening at the usual time of 6pm?
I couldn't see any announcements from Frontier to suggest otherwise.

The question will then be how much will be PP2 (Hi All
