Well, back when 1.3 was speculated to introduce PvP arenas, you should have seen the negative reactions about it.

But this would be a yearly Mortal Kombat tournament, a.k.a fight till you die no insurance. The winner gets a planet named after him. Live streaming on Twitch.

Nah, let us fight all year long, give us a Galnet News video feed, and make us watch it in the starport's bar :D

Source? This should be a sticky on the store front if this is true. Many bought into the game and are still waiting, but if they are going to ditch it for this, there is no longer any reason to stick around.

When was Elite not at its core a combat game?

The original was so named on the rank one attained by killing lots of stuff. There was trading, sure, but it was largely there so you could outfit your ship to better kill more stuff.

Will be Halsey hot?

Will she be Birgitte Nyborg

They've mentioned around 10 at launch, with the potential for up to 20 at any one time, with the weakest occasionally being eclipsed and swapped out with rising powers like large minor factions. Here's who I think we will see.

SenatorDenton Patreus

EmperorHengist Duval (unless he is still in a coma)

Harold Duval

Princess Aisling Duval

Chancellor Anders Blaine

SenatorZemina Torval

Princess Arissa Lavigny


Federation

Federal PresidentJasmina Halsey

CongressmanZachary Hudson(Shadow President)

FederalAdmiral Vincent


Alliance of Independent Systems

Prime MinisterEdmund Mahon


Thargoids

Unknown


Minor Factions

Dukes of Mikunn

Crimson State Group

CODE? (The New Caribbean?)

Panem Farmers Association? (lol the potheads)


FD has said that "no minor faction is currently large enough to be a power" but I think that size wise, the Dukes of Mikunn definitely are, and lore wise, Crimson State Group definitely should be, they fought a full scale war with the Federation and arguably won.

HIHes Harald and Aisling might be grouped together, just as Rt.Hon Chancellor Blaine is with HIH Arissa Lavigny-Duval

Lugh might be a power with Éamonn Uí Laoghaire is it?

They have said no date but only that the window for release is may. They also said there woulod be a beta on it as well so figure maybe a week after the release of beta barring any bugs. If you can believe what they say because they are always so trustworthy

The beta for Mac has just entered Beta 4.0, and introduced the crossplay with the PC version, so the Mac version can't be too far from ready to go live. Once that happens I'd expect the V1.3 beta to be pretty close to starting. They'd be crazy to run two betas of different versions side by side.

I'd guess mid-May, once the Mac/PC beta is sorted. Early June for 1.3 public rollout, probably. Hard to say as it is going to contain a lot of things to test. Public rollout might take longer, with several "1.30x" patches.

I really do appreciate how hard the team has been working to bring this great game forward. The only gripe I do have at the moment is how long the current "known bug" list has been left to languish. Three weeks now. It has been said that they will be addressed in the 1.3 update but with no release date in sight we are left with a broken game.

Yep. The background simulation has been in better condition (before 1.2), missions have long standing issues (hunt bounty hunters, hunt propagandists, the assassination counter offer, to name a few). Everyone waits for 1.3, but apart from last weeks Newsletter and AMA no word yet. Today's dev update will be about crime. The speed has dropped significantly since 1.2 (which was 7 weeks ago). If that means more testing and higher quality rollouts, I am all happy. But if it means that everyone works on Mac and XBox, I am not.

Really, all of them? Do you have a link to where they said that?
