From the newsletter:-

The Elite: Dangerous team is bigger than ever, and the majority are working on something secret for PC and Mac. It's not quite ready for the world just yet, but we'll be able to tell you more at Gamescom. Believe us: we can hardly wait.

Please let it be core game improvements. Please let it be deeper, tiered missions. Please let it be more stuff to witness/encounter during general flight. Please let it be more stuff to discover/see while exploring. Please let it be PvP combat related mechanics. Please let it be game mechanics promoting emergent game play.

The ED universe is huge, please let's have some truly interesting/inventive stuff going on in it.


Please no more grind endorsing board games.... :)

It'll be chess on the dashboard of your ship, that you can play against AI. Doesn't work in supercruise though, you have to drop out to normal space. Also, by the holidays, you can play it against other commanders, just 6 months to wait.

Since this is a major update, you shouldn't expect anything else till this time next year.

I endorse this message! Also, I hope it's planetary landings as well.

On second thoughts: 'something secret' doesn't sound like planetary landings, since hopefully that's not a secret. So I wonder...

What else can it be.
"Mac and PC only"
The XBONE guys first have to fly around with dirty windows for 6 months before they'll get it.

not likely. it wouldn't be a 'secret'. improvements need to be gradual with feedback. you don't shut yourself up in a tower for two months to improve like mad, just to finally find out you got something wrong on day one already.

has to be some specific new feature or content. if the plan is to 'announce' it at gamescon, planned release date could well extend to xmas. it's something big, make your bets :)

Yes, Please let it be planet landings!!!! Honestly if its more meta 'emergent' game play, board games or otherwise, more PvP centric gameplay (other than CQC),...I'm outa here...

Also fixes for longstanding bugs.

I'm thinking it is going to be a paid expansion. They need cash to keep the dev team healthy and produce more. We should get a few core improvements too. People expecting magic changes will be disappointed.

Is it cryogenic freezing? Then I could set my destination, walk away and come back next year :p . On a serious note, it would be kind of cool of players could work together to build stations in uninhabited systems.
