Cheer up mate ;) ....they might take the opportunity to add more stuff to general exploration and have already confirmed the ability to detail scan the surface while flying over it. Will we ever get the DDA? No but we might get some love for exploration. Just being able to land on all those planets will be amazing for explorers and so much more than we have at the moment.

Just being a pedant. It sort of does not concern me, since I have the expansion pass, but if I was an ordinary backer waiting for something other than the exploration placeholder we have, I would not be doing cartwheels at having to pay for a full price game to get some additional exploration content.
 
The race between Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous is now at a second stage ! Can't wait to see what Chris Roberts will effort to take the lead !
 
'Holiday 2015' - August Bank Holiday or Christmas Holiday? I've no idea what people mean by holiday 2015!

The Holiday Season usually means round Christmas time. Especially since it's now August and I do believe I read December in there somewhere.
 
It's all bundled into the LEP, if you bought it before or buy it now; or have I missed/misunderstood something?

Expansion Pass to the Horizons (release) and Beta Access are slightly different matters.

Summary:
If you have PREMIUM Beta (see store) or Alpha you can early access to expansion(s) ..
STANDARD Beta is NOT valid on expansions (is valid only on 1.0 releases)

How long will the beta last? Like a month or so? This holiday is obviously Christmas for a release. I think i'll wait on pre-ordering until we get a more solid day including beta access times and what not. Undecided if i'll go for the beta pass or plain pass.
 
Thankfully I got the lifetime expansion pass together with my mercenary edition back before launch.

This hopefully means all expansions like this will be free for me, right?
 
I am surprised no one has mentioned my personal beef with the name of the expansion. They should have totally used the chance to drop the "Dangerous" which always seemed somewhat redundant and arbitrary, adopt the name "Elite: Horizons" instead and keep it at that forever. Sounds much more epic and inspiring to me. :D

Edit: Wait someone has! So glad I am not alone!

Shouldn't it be called Elite: Horizons?

So Elite: Dangerous has an expansion called Elite Dangerous: Horizons?
Does anyone else take issue with the punctuation placement here?
.
Shouldn't it be called Elite: Horizons? Or Elite: Dangerous Horizons? Will the passenger expansion be called Elite Dangerous Horizons: Passengers? Then walking around expansion will come out, called Elite Dangerous Horizons Passengers: Walking Around.
.
This is a big deal guys.
.
At any rate, at least there's no :H smileys, so we have that at least.
So wait ... I get criticised for saying something *I* came up with should be written a certain way and Frontier made a mistake to change it (by adding a colon) ... but you are saying it's not OK for Frontier to write something *they* came up with how they want to?

EDIT, it doesn't matter anyway as the community will write it a dozen different ways anyway :p

But:

Do I also get to try the beta of Elite Dangerous: Horizons?
Yes. The Lifetime Expansion Pass also grants access to the beta of the Elite Dangerous: Horizons expansion season when it's available.

The LEP gives beat access no?

Don't get me wrong, I've no personal interest in the beta, but the way I read it is ' you buy the LEP now and you get beta access to EDH'

I am slow on the uptake today, so admit I may be missing something obvious.
