News ANNOUNCING ELITE DANGEROUS: HORIZONS

Any idea on how long the pre-order phase will last? Is the date of release of this expansion known?
I'm not sure I can justify spending its price this month (might have some other stuff to take care of, first); I might be able to buy a voucher this month and fill up the rest in September, but there's no indication to be found anywhere on whether you'll still be able to pre-order with the loyalty discount applied.

Wait... Where have the vouchers gone? I am sure, you could buy some before, but now they are nowhere to be found in the store... :(
 
So, apologies if this has been asked before, but I have a question regarding Steam; it's been stated that Horizons will come out on Steam "before the end of the year". Will this still be a pre-order or will it become available as Horizons full version comes out?

The reason I'm asking is that it's been said that for a limited time, those who preorder Horizons also get a Cobra Mk.IV - I would really like to know if it will be possible to get the ship through a Steam preorder at some point?
 
Regarding beta access for Elite Dangerous: Horizons if you already have Premium Beta access or higher then you will have beta access. Otherwise you need to pre-order it with beta access.

Thank you
I dont have it in my store downloads though, some people are reporting they are downloading it, is it being made available in stages for download?
 
Hi Michael,

What constitutes premium beta?

I am a Beta backer. I paid £50 for the game in November 2014, so am I a premium beta backer or just a beta backer?

Do I have to pay an extra £30 to get this expansion?

If I do have to pay, is there any discount for "non premium" beta backers to get the life time expansion pass? £130 is a bit too pricey for me :(

Premium Beta is £100
I know cause I have it

Could have been stated clearer
That sentence should be written on a golden placard right in the lobby of Frontier Developments Headquarters. :D

I beleive this was the plan, however the statement stating what the wording of the placard would be was anot clearly stated, so they just got a normal placard saying "Welcome to Frontier"...

There's nothing to download today, except maybe new passes .. you won't see one because of your (premium) beta (you have an automatic pass with PB, when the time comes)

It's possible CQC is implementing somewhere and maybe xboxers are downloading something for that.

What happens if I click the download link in my purchased downloads section of the shop. The download button is active for Horizons!

I would also like to know this, I did a search but we only get answers from people who are actually guessing and then there's the usual Steam bashers, would be nice to get an answer from FD on this
 
I think for those that buy the expansion pass at £130 but do not have beta access, instead of having to buy the EDH again to get the beta access, there should be a separate beta access pass for £10 (same as the difference between EDH expansions) available to those buyers


I didn't pick up the lifetime expansion pass during the Kickstarter, is it available again?
Yes! The Lifetime Expansion Pass is available again with the announcement of Elite Dangerous: Horizons. You can find more info on the Frontier Store. It not only grants access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons and the beta but also any future expansions we release.
