How does this effect those of use who are already at the Top Ranks for The Empire and Federation,you mention being allied with more than one can cause problems, some of us have allied status with all 3, are there going to be higher Naval ranks than the current existing ones?
 
Will there be a faction that fits Exploration as well as ones that cater to players preferring trade and combat? I'd love to sign up for Universal Cartographics as a freelance Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy writer :D
 
Really loving the new imperial ship......but it's two player. Sad Mercy is sad, for Mercy only flies solo mode.

My question is this: Will those ships ever become available to a single pilot?
 
Hello David and thank you for such an amazing game.

With the new powerplay features, can you divulge who your going to stand with in the faction/powerplay fights?

I'm certain a fair few people would love to join you, or oppose you. :)
 
System security and response to criminals.

Will there be stricter penalties for criminal activities and what happened to the 'growing commensurate security response to threats' that was talked about? Core systems should be secure with most of the criminality taking place on the wild frontiers. This seems asp backwards at the moment.

Oh yes... Cat people.

Will you be able to help more than one, and can some be allied with each other?

Will they have their own livery that we can paint on our ships?
 
As a pirate will pirates be able to champion any pirate corporations and thus expand their profile and influence against the more legitimate corporations? Will such support for illegitimate corporations come with their own rewards?

You misread. It is "two player-piloted ships" not "two-player-piloted ships". :D

Gutamaya seats and Imperial Blue Lasers

When will our imperial ships get Gutamaya seats and Blue Lasers?

Will there ever be player created powers arising from successful player groups like The Code? I'd mention Emperor's Grace, but I don't want to intrude on private grief.

Also, seconding the 'can powers be destroyed or will they be static monoliths? ' queston.

1. What is the outcome of Vox Populi and how will the different modes of play be affected by Powerplay?
2. What news of the free ship with the Merc Edition.
3. Please elaborate on the exclusive ships available with each faction.
 
Very exciting.

My question follows

Dear Sir

Has anything been added to reward the risk of smuggling prohibited goods (not salvage or stolen) with other roles and activities?

Smuggling has been neglected so far and is far less rewarding and and far more risky in every sense in relation to basic trading, piracy and salvage collection.

Thank you

Do you envisage Powerplay as a tool to raise the amount of PvP currently happening? It seems that you are giving carte blanche to attack anyone from a different faction to you, regardless if they are wanted or not. Is there not a danger that the inhabited parts of the galaxy end up as one big warzone?
 
Planetary landings! Planetary landings! Planetary landings! Planetary landings! Planetary landings!
Planetary landings! Planetary landings! Planetary landings! Planetary landings! Planetary landings!

Ok...maybe not really a question, but please can we have some info about that!!! :D
 
Great content! Can't wait for Powerplay, but I've got one question for you:

The Empire have a couple of great ships that adds to their Empire identity. The mighty federation also have ships to call their own. I really love the Alliance, yet I feel they have been very neglected by the defs. Currently, there is no real reason to rank up in their systems, for there is no real reward. With Powerplay, will there be some content for the Alliance faction?

Hi guys,

QUESTIONS :
- Since ranks give some special opportunities/missions/perks etc... Will you reset all ranks for 1.3 ? Because many players are already at maximum rank in Federal Space and Empire Space.
- What about the Alliance not having rank ? What kind of gameplay options will offer the Alliance ?
- Will we be able to pledge Allegiance to many factions, regardless that they are potentials enemies ?
- Will it be a way to display our Allegiance to avoid crossfire between CMDR on the same side ?

Bonus :
- When will we see the Federal Corvette initially announced for 1.2 ?
- When can I take my week for 1.3 ?
Thx

How will the DDF be involved in Elite: Dangerous's future?

It was long mentioned that the DDF would have a continued role post release. This was attempted in an adhoc faction with some proposals re: News and the original expansion. We do feel a little unloved these days. Do you have any idea how to actually involve the DDF in a meaningful way?
