Throw us a bone Frontier.

After the huge vacuum of empty space left (in a bad way) due to exactly no less than nothing at all was mentioned, in regards to the PC version of Elite: Dangerous; it'd be nice to have our disappointment allayed a little with just a bit of concrete news as to some future plans.

Even something like a bit of artwork for a future ship; maybe that we can get the new ships as soon as Xbox - but not CQC itself - that will be introduced with that timed exclusive.

Throw us a few scraps, to us poor emaciated beggars sitting under your table.

No point wishing for more updates if you live here (Australia) - it's 9pm and I can't play the game - AGAIN ! That'll be about the third time this week "unable to connect : unknown error" - I know what the error is, it's fixing bugs from the previouspatch that stopped me from playing at my peak time.... /sigh

. Give us a break? There are players here who have paid you know? I'm from the UK, I know about time zones, OK? But just ONCE give us a break??

Friday tomorrow, PLEASE don't do another update during the only time we get to play!

If you read the E3 interviews with DB you would know that only a small team from ED worked on CQC. .... Most of the team would be MS (Microsoft) supplied

Be glad they're patching the game, because at some point they'll go characteristically silent and we'll have to wait for 1.4 before bugs get fixed again (or, more likely, reintroduced)

No, it's entitlement to think you can make arbitrary demands just because you paid money for a product.

If you think my original post could be described using the words 'demand', and 'arbitrary'-- then you really ought to re-school yourself in basic communication.

Yes. That's actually the definition of entitlement.

Take note, oh clever one.

Discriminate the difference, Mr Holmes, between the differences of: entitlement; and: 'entitlement'.

Elite Dangerous 1.4 Planetary landing, Station wallking.
This is expansion? Separated?
Click to expand...

Planetary landings (PL) will be an expansion and so will station & ship exploration (SSE) - this has been public knowledge for some time.

Station and ship exploration will be first, because a first-person mechanism for leaving your ships would be required to get out at any planet you visit.

That won't be 1.4 since we already know that more free updates to the core game are coming - something we have been told.

The expansions will be designed to run as optional additions to the game. I have no idea of the details, but I would guess that if you fly too close to a planet you'd get a "you have no atmospheric re-entry shields" warning would pop, whereas someone with the PL expansion would just sail on down to the surface. Ditto with ship exploration. If you haven't got it, you trade from the cockpit, if you have SSE you climb out the seat walk out your cobra and head to Starbucks for a coffee before popping into the station trade centre. I'm sure Frontier will drip-feed details closer to the time.

Currently they are working on the core game, we just don't know what that will be yet.

Apparently you speak for all of us, By the way, artwork? there's plenty of artwork of stuff that isn't in the game yet (Corvette is one, Panther Clipper Two). And your fussing over a side content mode on a version of the game that isn't enjoyable as the stable PC client? Throw us a few scraps? Why do you need news to keep your self interested in the game. Surely them just telling you that there are more updates coming, free ones and paid ones, only as a surprise, they don't need to give you a concrete date on everything.

Maybe one day Frontier will learn the definition of "Beta-Test-Phase" and release a major update only AFTER all bugs have been squashed, instead of following a schedule.

Sorry, I couldn't resist... :D
