Lave radio shows - get involved

[fozza]

(N.B. Current Questions listed at the bottom of this post..)

Hi Folks

So we now have a number of community shows going.

Lave Radio - The Original - Four Fans bringing you the latest development news from the Elite Universe

Meet the Writers - Different presenter each week, we catch up with the authors of the Licensed fiction and find out how they are getting on

The Conclave - Open Community show. We grab some (mostly willing) participants from the forums or listeners to the show to discuss the current hot topics within the Elite Universe.

Escape Velocity - The unique Elite Audio drama based in the Elite Universe produced by Chris Jarvis


The purpose of this thread is to generate some questions/discussion topics for the various shows. These could be directed to the Sidewinder crew to discuss during community corner. They could be general questions for the writers to post responses to in either community corner or directly during the one-one interviews. Finally the bigger picture topics such as PvP versus Solo play, The role of planetary landings etc could be discussed on the Conclave with the larger community.

Also if you are happy to appear on the Conclave make yourself known on this thread too. I am creating a list of participants.

Please Start your replys with the show your question is for in the Title

Ok Guys, given the reaction to the Elite merchandise... what do you think about the key factors of rewards for pledges.. Quality or Anything will do?

For example : A plastic Elite Badge. A PVC logo'd white onesie.

Have you approached any local radio or national radio shows to see if they would pick up your show for broadcast? Is this something you would consider of course for no profit.. but it would really advertise the game and your drama society's talents... guitar shredding and Also Allen moosikal tellints.

I would expect them to be more than happy to take a show for free.
especially given its quality..

Last episode you touched on how in certain MMOs you get to top level and suddenly there's nothing left to do in the game. How do you think it will be getting to Elite in the new game and having no goals left? How long do you think getting to Elite should take? What's the right balance between player frustration at a hard to achieve goal, keeping game longevity and making Elite a truly special status?

Conclave

Very happy to volunteer for this.

 

[Majere]

Conclave question

Everyone has different visions of what they want from Elite: Dangerous. Will you be disappointed if they don't get what you want, or if things you consider sacrosanct are violated?

I don't have anything in the game I consider sacrosanct.... nothing at all. I just don't take it that seriously.

 

[psykokow]

Ok if they ditch space, the space ships and stations and make lego racing cars..

Nope im pretty good if they do that too

 

[Cody]

I can say with a high degree of certainty that I'll not be disappointed, in any way.

The "teleporting" between POIs will kill it for me. It just won't feel like the old games without true free roam. I'd still play it on release (seeing as I paid for it) but I just don't think I'd be into it... I may as well play Star Citizen!

 

[Cody]

Is that written in stone now? I had hoped it would not be that way.

Ha ha, sorry, I hadn't actually read the whole thread (honestly, who reads them ALL!) so didn't know what it was about... I saw your question and others answering it and took it from there. Apologies.
