What's the New Feature in Winter 2025?

no idea but i hope it isnt guild only content...... given the next update is all about that it would be good for the surprise feature to be something for everyone.

i would love a return of the thargoids - so bring back the titans etc................ but this time add some on foot stuff where we can board the titans as well as defend outposts and space stations etc from them.

that to me seems a good compromise from actually not having to create masses amounts of new assets but at the same time still bringing us something genuinely new to the game beyond a new UI.

Fdev said we'll get a new feature in the winter of 2025. What do you think is this?

My guess is custom design facilities for colonization or a (custom) guild base for squadrons.

While cool, wouldn't they get very old, very quickly, like ship interiors would?

I'd love to see more features from the previous Elite games brought into Elite Dangerous...mainly some of the missions. Specifically some of the missions, like the bombing runs through canyons and photographing secret bases while taking huge incoming fire before you turn and leg it. I'd also like to see the return of the mining module you drop on a planet and leave for a few days while it does it's thing.

i would like the return of some of the old mission a stated by the op. the mining module was fun as i often couldnt find it and when you did it was empty lol.but that was then im afraid,doubt if they would bring them back in,one mission fro the early day of this game was one of our pilots is missing where you had fly the system to find him.but now with the fss scanner probaly be to easy. still we have got what we have got.still plenty of content and good fun,10 years and umteen thousand hrs still going strong this end, remeber lockdown.this game and the forum and in game chat saved my sanity lol.hell couldnt talk to the wife all day lol.

Something to do with Guardians to tie in with the Nemesis story arc.

I do hope we'll see that, although it might not be a new feature, more like new (war) narrative.

As for what the new feature is, maybe we'll finally get EVA-s and new space gameplay with that. Infiltrating orbital installations in space suit, SAR in floating shipwrecks, exobiology expanded to space-based life forms—stuff like this. One can dream🙂

Ideally something completely new.

Guilds ie Squadrons are getting their update next so it shouldn’t be anything to do with them except for some bugfixes hitching a ride.

Titan/Thargoid activity will have had barely a years break so it would be too soon to necro that.

Perhaps something new to do on foot or at least more things to do on foot without having to have a mission.

(y)...Especially the mining module. Maybe a lot more technologically advanced than the previous MB4* Mining machine. Possibly tied directly to a new ship (A new ship is always good for player morale! :D) maybe the 'Puma Clipper'?...The mining machine should have a few intuitive and interesting new features, maybe introduce some new minerals and metals along with it for specific uses. The Puma could be a really mining specific ship in the first instance, with some dedicated mining hardpoints, and of course...the only ship capable of deploying the ah...newer 'MB5' Auto Mining Module.

* Incidentally...whatever happened to the MB1-2 or 3 mining machines!?...I've always wondered.:LOL:... 🤷‍♂️

(y)...Some advancement and expansion of various planet atmospheres would be interesting, that's an Alpha and Beta stage I'd gladly partake in. ;)

That would be the big new feature I hope to implement next year. It has so much to do with exploration, with the planets themselves, with the deep immersion it would bring to the title, plus the added mechanics that could be linked to this addition.
For those interested, in the general spanish forum for Elite (it can be easily translated with the google or another translator), several commanders are discussing this possibility of atmospheres and planet improvements, possible ways in which FDEV could implement them... I'll leave the post for anyone interested...

Can we improve the graphic quality in ED?

Saludos, comandantes... Para muchos, Elite Dangerous tiene muchas cualidades que lo convierten en uno de nuestros juegos favoritos. Por ejemplo, el manejo de las naves, el sonido, la historia, las mecánicas... y, sobre todo, para mí, una de mis características está estrechamente ligada a la...

surely features like this would mean a massive amount of work and require a paid DLC like Horizons or Ody? and if this was the case surely FD would have been drumming up hype for a while now?
I would love to be wrong but i fear some are setting themselves up for big dissapointment.

personally i think i am being over optimistic with my wishes even tho in reality all that would entail would be some new "baddie" models and a few new combat locations combined with what we already have.
