There are only a few weeks left until 2.1 beta starts and I have seen lots of comments like:
"This will be fixed in 2.1", "2.1 will be a game changer", "If they don't deliver in 2.1 I'll leave the game"
I think you will be disappointed. There will be bugs, lots of bugs. The game will not turn into Eve and they will not introduce a client-server architecture. There will be no epic quests and you should not even think about becoming the saviour of the universe. Don't expect thargoids. You'll think Engineers are just a shallow and meaningless gameplay addition, basically the same grind again, and they should have improved the core professions instead. You'll not feel like you got your money's worth. Ultimately Horizons is a major rip-off and 2.1 is just the final nail in the coffin of a game that died 2 years ago when Frontier decided to remove offline mode.
On the bright side, they will improve the game - just like they did with every update so far.

So I went first into VA and looked up if there was an update, and just messed around a little with my E.D setup, spoke some commands and tested the mic. Everything is fine, so I go into where you can write in the spoken comments for the different spoken commands you have made. I found out that I could have more than 1 spoken command, which after a couple of years had become boring with just 1 command. It was the same god damn phrase every time. But now I realized I could make as many as I want. I dont know if this is a new feature. Anyhow, the show was on. I sat for 3 hours making commands for my "computer voice" inside the ship. Man what a trip, to make the computer say exactly what you like and randomize it. Star Wars, Star Trek and all sci fi heaven came to use. It was fun. I even added some humor to some of my comments, like saying launch for launching the "bad" missiles, then the computer would maybe say " I like when you release those big warheads commander". And I released some missiles and it said that phrase. And I thought this is computer gaming in the making, this is the pinnacle of space simulators. I felt like Luke, Dart Vader and Picard at the same time. And I thought how will this be in VR, I still haven´t tried it. It must be the ultimate Sci Fi experience to this date. Yes, the rest is history, I tried out my missile commands in my Asp. It was fun, but off course I was rusty after 3 months out of the cockpit so I got by a drop ship. Most of the time went into setting up my VA and don´t erasing old keybindings in the controls, but in the end it all felt into place. And as I had for seen the missiles sucked, they need a buff. Even with shields down the FDS maybe took 3-5% hull dmg from 2 small missiles. Its to low, they need to be better. If not the 12 missiles wont justify occupying 2 small hard points on my Asp. So it really were just for testing and to see if I could launch my missiles by saying "launch" and hear the random commands from my computer voice. But I loved it, just by being able to do this I had a great Elite session. So I look forward for 2.1, I really do. E.D is already a great game giving me the ultimate sci fi experience. 2.1 will make it even better.
