They must be internally testing those assets i found. Why add those assets in the last update if they are not testing them somehow.
They internally test alot of stuff, for goodness sake they been testing the "walking" mechanic for years now and we still haven't heard anything nor seen anything about it. But that is besides the point. When they add game files, it usually means 1 of 2 things. The first is they are done testing it and are thinking about releasing it. The second is that decided to drop it and move on, take that Bobble Heads file they got, that use to be in the game but it got removed. If you find anything in your game files, it's either a good sign or a incredibly bad sign. Regardless though. NMS and Star citizen release dates are getting closer and closer, if they don't show people stuff like walking and such, then they might as well hang up the towel now. Most players will be flocking to either 1 of those games upon release, if they don't get more immersive, interesting, and improvement stuff.
 
Being selfish, Elite NEEDS landings to be "feature complete" for me. I do remember they showed the procedural cloud generation somewhere in one of their dev updates. And half of me wishes for that to happen. The other half wishes for them to get it done well, and not half ass it.

they been "reportedly" working on that stuff since the games beta stage. If they did half aft it, or it looks terrible then either 1 of 2 things happened. They either just slapped it together in like a month or they truly couldn't dish out what they claimed to be capable of making all those years ago. But regardless, they do need to show us something or give us a portion of it, like the walking on your ship part and such via patch 1.4

I would love to be able to stretch my legs at some point soon, if it wasn't for that varicose vein suit I'm wearing, I'd be in trouble right about now!

I agree, but they're being exasperating.
 
they been like that for years, how do you think I feel since I been monitoring the progress of this game since it was announced and had access to it since beta.

At least they don't overpromise and underdeliver. I'm glad that they're approaching PR this way, somewhat.

I would rather see it more like SC. The way they go about talking about what they do.

Even when they hyped the FPS part they might of wanted to test that alittle more. LOL Announce the beta was coming out then Opps back tracked on that.

I would like to hear what is be worked on and such.

Or at least what the first expansion they are working on first. We dont need timetables or release dates and such.

Well i hope the Communty website will become such a place.

I hope FD will announce Passenger missions, Persistent NPC, Walk in ship/station, or Planetary Landings - something that will show me that all that PP grind, reputation grind, mission grind, ranks grind and overall game direction to "more grind" is just temporary to keep players occupied while FD is working on something BIG.

I believe in Frontier Developments & David Braben vision of the game, and that they can deliver. But a direction the game took for the last month... - it all starts to look like and feel like:
- Hey! We don't like grind, very much!
- OK, OK, just grind more and you'll get over it.
And I so much want it to be a false feeling.
 
On a random side note I've heard that bobble heads are still I the game... IF you get back in a Sidewinder. Not great of course but still ^^;

Agreed. I do have an idea that the machinations of Powerplay are a test of sorts. But whatever is at the end of that tunnel better be good.

Unfortunately this comes only from a conversation I had with some buddies on TeamSpeak, so I don't have a source ora transcript I can provide as evidence. However, if you had a bobblehead in beta, I would suggest maybe getting back into a Sidewinder to check. I wasn't a beta backer so never had a bobblehead so can't confirm this myself I'm afraid. Apologies. :(

No, wrong / rubbish - was a beta backer and was in a sidewinder only a couple of days ago.....no bobblehead I'm afraid (not that I've really missed them anyway)
 
I hope they'll surprise us with something original and outrageous again - whatever you think of Powerplay, it's really quite a unique thing. I'm holding out for a Cthulhu mythos-inspired update, with dark, unknowable things lurking in unexplored space and sometimes reaching across space and time to distort the fabric of reality and shatter the minds of mortals.

Or passenger missions. That would be cool too.
 
Maybe there will be a planetary exploitation type of layer added to Powerplay that would tie in planetary landings for things like delivering equipment to surface-bound mining facilities, research centers, etc.
