The way I understood it was that the Premium Beta for £100 included lifetime expansion pass.

I'm getting it. Hoping it's still around come next pay day, keeping the car going as cost me this month! If not I'll just let the bank manager take the hit. Oh and FD owe me 40 quid (I bought a copy of the game using my existing account, they've already said I can get a refund). 80 quid? Bargain!
<howls mournfully>
I just bought one too. I was so disappointed when I only found out about the game when I was in standard beta, since I would have happily supported it at the Kickstarter stage. Now I'm happy I've got the whole game, from start to finish. Glad they put the Lifetime Expansion pass back up 
The way I see it, I'm going to be playing the game for the foreseeable future, especially with how planetary landing is looking. I've already saved money in the last year without even realising it, when I compared how many games I've bought to how many I've bought in previous years. This seems like the most sensible way to spend it since nearly all my playtime is on Elite now.
I couldn't have hoped for better looking airless terrain from that teaser - if it looks like that in game, I'm already happy. I'm going to find myself a nice view in my home system. Already got the No-Atmosphere-Rocky picked out

There's a hell of a lot of noise in that thread, gl with an official answer
. If I were FD, I'd close the offer at the end of the month: payday.
I don't know what an "Expanion" pass is
But I got a lifetime expansion pass as part of my kickstarter package, recently I was beginning to have serious doubts as to whether it was a good choice and value for money but today put me right, am quite pleased now and I can't wait to join in the beta.
Hmm... Not sure either.
Guess I was a bit hasty on the typing there. Fortunately a moderator took pity on me and sorted it out.
After thinking about it for about half an hour, i got a lifetime pass too.

La beta basica no tenia lifetime pass incluido me temo. Solo la Beta Premium, que eran de 120 euros si no recuerdo mal, que fue la que yo me compre. Pero la lifetime estuvo disponible para beta backers por 40 euros durante un tiempo muy razonable si no recuerdo mal.
La barrera psicologica de los que se "arriesgaron" con Elite, como lo llamais, FDEV la parece colocar en Beta Premium, betas+lifetime, y precios similares/superiores de compromiso en kickstarter y alpha etc. (es decir unos 120 euros o asi o mas).
La manera en la que FDEV parece haber explicado como van a funcionar las expansiones es a traves de "seasons" (temporadas) que parece duraran alredeodor de 1 año cada una, o asi aunque no se sabe seguro. Durante cada temporada se lanzara uno de los aspectos adicionales de cada expansion o expansiones nuevas y se iran añadiendo cosas a ello durante esa temporada.
Cada temporada / año requerira un pago especifico, a menos que se tenga la lifetime expansion pass. Lo que no sabemos es lo que costara cada temporada, o cuanto de descuento haran a los jugadores ya existentes. Si nos basamos en el coste de esta primera temporada para jugadores existentes estamos hablando de unos 40 euros al año / temporada, o asi. Pero ya digo, que aun no sabemos cuanto costaran o descontaran futuras temporadas. Y como de costumbre siempre estara la opcion de esperarse a las rebajas de temporada de Steam etc.
Cada una de esas temporadas/expansiones rva a requerir mucho trabajo y recursos de desarrollo: Recordad que FDEV decidio, para bien o para mal, en su momento no tirar de Pay to Win o de subscripciones.

1º no gasto ni un chavo en proyectos (por eso no juego al SC aún... ¿será el scam más sonado de la historia de los video juegos?, en el 2030 lo sabremos...) aplico lo mismo para el ED, comprar una preorder por 50€ q se supone q saldrá en ¿Navidad?, no estoy tan enfermo aún... Y si luego cuesta más, menos todavía...
2º life time pass a 175€ (apliquese el punto número 1), si ya tengo el juego y quiero la expansión (50€+38€=88€ en modo mindundi) pienso q 88 pavos son más q suficientes para no pagar ni un céntimo más en lo q le quede a este juego de vida
Otra opción 50€+175€... ¿Estamos locos?, si/no, es lo q hay...
Creo q se les ha ido la mano con el precio y totalmente de acuerdo con que quienes ya hemos comprado el juego, al menos una rebajita, pero vamos, creo q estamos llorando demasiado, no harán nada, paga o muérete de envidia viendo como los pocos pilotos q vuelan en ED ahora se esconderán en planetas a explorar rocas o a descubrir vida alienigena, vaya vd a saber...!!!

Look at it this way if your dithering about getting the license...you could pay WAY more just for a ship over at Star Citizen, it's just another way of helping to back the game you love I got in late last time and just got the Beta version...£120 for every upgrade and major development release going forward - forever...no brainer really, just not gonna tell the wife lol.

Expansion Pass' a bargain, no two ways about it imo.

I can't decide yet. I'm waiting for more info about Planet Coaster (also from Frontier). That game will probably also getting expansions and a lifetime pass. I did pre-order the base game of Planet Coaster. Both is going to be a bit much for now. Waiting for the Frontier Ultimate Expansion pack lifetime Game Bundle ..
