Are there any plans to bring more uniqueness to the stations? (eg. Small powers banners, graffiti,...)
 
Ship load outs have been a bit disappointing. Would you consider taking ideas from the community on what load outs we should have or like to have, I.e fer de lance was disappointing, Python nerf disappointing, Vulture now overpowered and too cheap compared to other ships in its price range.

Hello David!

Sandro said in an interview that Powerplay would give people the chance to feel like they were part of a team, but the current rewards structure of Powerplay actually pits team members against each other as ferociously as it does against the opposition. Will you look at making adjustments to the faction reward structure going forward to allow all faction members to have at least something from their efforts to aid their faction, as it would add a lot of immersive quality to Powerplay.

I'd also like to echo the cacophony of praise for the game overall so far. :D

We are taking comments like this very seriously. There are arguments either way, but the intention is that you are part of a team, so there is a change coming that should fix this...
 
How has the attitude to and relationship with the player base at Frontier Developments Station evolved since the Kickstarter and the pre-release phases, and achieving commercial success to a broader market?
 
Will we have proper and updated game manuals please?
There are returning topics and misconceptions about fundamental elements like how shields work by their MJ value, how the capacitors and pips are supporting different strategies, etc.
Thank you!
 
Hello Mr. Braben, first of all: I haven´t played any other game since 12/16, so congrats and thanks for the awesome experience you are bringing to us.

My question: will we ever have some kind of minigame (involving coordinates and/or some in ship device) in order to prevent the current uss system, so it doesn´t feel so randomized?

thanks again

Hello Mr Braben,
Are there any plans for ship variants at any time in the future?

Thank you for your time, and for this amazing game!

Promoting a faction

Nothing to say about the promotion of minor faction to major status ? Nothing at all ?? Please ??? :p

We've been working on it since the first announcement of PP !

With a lot of work/play we now control 2 sectors lol

All for nothing ???

Not complaining ! It was fun !! but we would really like to keep going with at least a chance of achieving Major status.

Will the Cobra "wireframe" paint scheme make a return to the store? I'd like to get that. :)

Only if they also have wireframe jobs for all the other ships. And maybe even bring back the ultra limited edition backer decals that only a few people knew about. ;)
 
Hi David,
Will you be doing any more work on planets before expansions such as local traffic in orbit, atmospheric/weather effects, other animations or improving detail to the surface?
Also I think just having some people in the docking areas of stations would add a lot as often there is no real sense of scale.
