Yes. If you own Seasons 1 and 2 then you get the Cobra Mk IV. Certainly there is continuity - so if you buy it in-game on the PC, you would continue to fly it on the Mac. Need to double-check the purchase option would be there in the Mac...

Good luck to the team - Tuesday's only 6 sleeps away (if they get much!)
Another sneak peek would be grand - they've become required viewing (and again, and again....!)
Pleased and not surprised to hear that the game is going 64-bit - nor that very few players are playing it on 32-bit O/S at the moment.
Thanks for the update. Whenever I leave a sidewinder in some part of the galaxy, I often wondered how many other cmdrs were doing the same thing... lol
the SRVs arent leaving any traces on the surfaces, right? That would much increase immersion if they would. Making it seem more real.
Would also be nice to be able to see that someone was there before
Any plans on that?
Best wishes

Shusshhhhh that's the new Moderator toy...
Yes, that already happens. Hopefully noticeable in some of the videos we've shown.
So, can we lift off without permission?
( ground installations, that is)

Good stuff. Can't wait!
I think I'm right in saying there aren't NPC SRVs, but it would be really great in the future to have piracy, assassinations and bounty hunting using ground vehicles. I imagine the AI programming would be quite a challenge!

Hi David, thanks for the update.
Q: Will tire tracks (from SRVs) stay on dusty surfaces for a prolonged period of time or do they "vanish" after a short while?

I almost think your survey must be bugged. Here is the Steam survey: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
Since "Windows 7 64 bit" is a separate entry, I assume that "Windows 7" without any specification means 32 bit (8.19% of users). I assume that's the same with "Windows 10" (1%) and the others. So even ignoring Windows XP completely, it's still over 10% of Steam users on 32 bit systems.
Probably Elite gamers have beefier systems that your average Steam player, but 0.5% almost can't be right. Are you perhaps only counting systens where "32 bit" is part of the reported OS title?

David, currently the plan is for 1.5 to launch on the XBox at the same time as PC? I've noticed several items for 2.0 that exist in the PC beta ( various commodities available only at surface ports, FSD Boost slider etc. etc) Do these exist in the XBox version or have they been surgically removed ?
Also, it was mentioned that approx 61% of planets can be landed on in 2.0, any idea as to what that means in actual numbers? Someone was asking in another thread.
Good luck with beta launch. I can send whips to make them work fast if you like? Or pro plus, whatever works. Both?

Looking forward to when Captain's Log is made obsolete David o7
You're all doing awesome work and creating a simply stunning game - I love it!
Regards o7
It's nice of you to do a little chat thingy David.
Try and give Sandro a bit of a break after these roll outs, after the last one he really looked shattered and I'm sure some of the team will be also. Wouldn't want them getting burnt out, it's a long road ahead.
Great job overall, it's getting there. You must be pleased.
