Hi David, I have a few questions:
1. Any news about Thargoids yet ? I know for sure that I am not the only one waiting...
2. Diamondback, what role will it be, how about size compared to other ships ?
3. What kind of benefits do we get with different "Powers", could we get some special / better equipment to our ships finally ?
4. The "Elite" missions, any details on those ?
5. The rest of the 30 ships, any schedule yet?
6. Will Powerplay be released before summer ?
Finally, BIG thanks for an amazing game !

will opposing powerplay factions have cooperative tasks?
Will powerplay factions be required / allowed to work together for 'larger goals' - for example in a torval vs patreus scenario would they both be called upon by the emperor/princess to complete a given task and required to cooperate for it.

Apologies if this has been asked already
Regarding the Mac: Are we going to see head tracking available for the release of the mac version?
For myself, it's the difference between playing on the PC version vs the mac. I'm lucky, I can do either, but I think a lot of potential new mac players may be put off by the lack of head tracking.
Keep up the good work

The biggest questions I have as a member of a player group backing a independent faction.
How are independent factions going to be selection to become a Power?
Will player groups who bring a Power to prominence get to help shape it's agenda?
How many Powers will powerplay launch with, and how quickly will the twenty slots be filled?

I have no questions. Just sharing a feedback that I simply loved the idea.
I love that board game that in my country is probably the most popular of all times... called locally War (named "Risk" in other places) and I think that was a great idea to mix something like that in the Elite universe. With all the additional elements involved, like Trade, Exploration, etc... it's simply awesome!
My wife just said: "Ok... Now I lost my husband for good!"
Keep up the great work, Frontier!
If the "space sims are back" is a worthy and fair phrase to throw away... is back because of you guys!

Thanks for the update. Some questions:
-How wil Powerplay affect solo players who occasionally join Open to do missions?
-Does chosing a faction influence your permission to dock (and if 'yes' than: will you be granted the same permissions as before if you stay neutral)?
-"Achieving a high rank affords you more votes and more control over the Power's actions each week. The most valued pilots will have a lot of say in where their Power goes next."- How do you prevent cheaters to become the rulers of the game?
-Roleplaying: Mercenaries tend to be neutral since they pick their jobs from everwhere. Is it still possible to play this way?

Are you not watching (or read) Game of Thrones?
First the kings fight each other... chaos is created... then, "The others" come!

2 questions:
1) In wich way the new subfaction system will affect Imperial ranks and reputation in the Empire as a whole?
2) I am a very active member of the spanish speaking community and I really worry for my mates that doesnt communicate in english as I do. When can we expect the Spanish localization for?
Have a delightful night Mr. Braben.

If this hasn't been asked already:
Will players be able to side with one faction, but at the same time be a spy/informer for a different faction, with dire consequences if the other faction finds out?
