David,

You mentioned earlier that the new system will be built upon the current influence system. Many of the people supporting minor factions consider this to be bugged especially in relation to winning wars and not getting rewarded (e.g. our war in Njagdal). Is there any plan to work out the bugs and/or manually intervene in all these occurrences so minor factions can once again grow without interference in preparation for the update?

Thanks!
This please, it sucks :(
 
Hello David,

How long does a given mission will last?

ie. Some missions just have a single work, some will lead you to other missions (longer will be a story arranged by 20 missions (works to do)) ????

How Long will a story (composed by many missions) last?

Pardon my English, I hope I'm been clear enough.
 
What qualifies a minor faction or any faction to ascend into Power status? Is there a set value? I would just be nice to know where to aim for
 
Hi David,

Is there anything coming in 1.3 Power Play that has not been revealed yet that you would like to surprise us with?

For instance, is it only two ships- the Federal Corvette was mentioned as coming in 1.2 in error and now not even a mention about it in 1.3... ?
 
hey heey!

Q: on bigger ships, 3 decals seem s little "over-seeable", so might we get 5 or more spots to put them decals on?

aaand.. anything about the "(very) high speed chases" ?

My apologies if this has been asked (haven't read the entire thread) but,,,,,

How much time are finding to play the game these days?
 
Mr Braben,

Are there any plans for 1.3 to have any new/improved/balanced weapon modules? Many of us are curious at to the future of weaponry in Elite: Dangerous
 
Unlike community goals, Powerplay is a swinging balance - ie solo players are also balancing solo players.

Yes. I don't personally mind. I've just noticed that it's a sticking point to quite a few players. They feel cheated.

I don't agree, but I understand where they are coming from.
 
Are there any updates to news about the API? I know myself and many talented programmers engaging in Elite are super excited about it. I already have a 3D route visual program for exploration set up, all I need are those API calls for coordinates!

Thanks for the great game.
 
Just seeing a face in the game greatly improves how we can relate to it. Might we see some sort of avatar system eventually for NPCs (perhaps procedurally generated) and one where we can customise one for our own pilot? :)

Now, this is a question I'd like to see answered, too!

The portraits for faction leaders are a great start. Any chance of expanding the visual representation of characters to Tier 2 & 3 NPCs, too?
 
Hi David,

do you have some information or schedule about the implementation for the usage of multiple commander profiles?

Thanks,

Evening David

Me and my father have been wondering if you guys at FD where going to add in a system orrery for in game orbits and such?
The dance of planets and seeing the revolutions of a double binary system in motion or whatever the system contains would be an amazing thing to add depth to the game and to exploring for each individual system.

Anyway thankyou for your time
Off to the black i go
I would hope most of the data is there from generating the great old milky, so implementing it hopefully would be easier....
 
Will we get more information through the System Map or Galaxy Map in the future, like player traffic, players killed, warzones, power expansion, etc. The old concept for the Orrery comes to mind.
