Looking forward to all of it.. especially what they haven't told us about already, 'cos the best stuff is yet to be seen (maybe).. and the inevitable forum fall out :)

Seriously. Fixed missions. I cringe everytime I see three or four "rescue hostage" missions on the board which are high-influence missions, cutting me out of up to 8% raw influence gains, needing me to do 32 low-influence assassinations to come up to par.
 
The game is so underdeveloped that I can't vote and I feel everything has the same importance.

Another one, really? I just wonder why you bother to hang around here, if the game is no good in your opinion.

- - - - - Additional Content Posted / Auto Merge - - - - -

you need to own the base game before you can use the expansion, Saying it will be part of 1.6 as well may work well from a marketing point of view but you can not sell me that which I already own.

1.6 is a patch to fix what is broken in the first season.

2.1 is the first content release for the second season
of exciting new content which is being sold seperately.

"Engineers providing unique, crafted modules" is the only option in the poll which are part of the paid second season called Horizons.
The poll is full of options which are actually things that are being patched in the base game.

technically speaking that is....

Some people are able to put a negative spin on everything. But low and behold, you will get some additional content for the main game, for free.
 
You forgot : Combat above surface.
ahhhhhhhhhh yes!
you will get some additional content for the main game, for free.
obviously we are not on the same page here, I am in no way, shape or form being negative.
I would NOT call fixing what is broken in the base game additional content and I would definitely not
count it as Horizons content, they are both great but two separate things.

The patch to fix what is broken in the main game is released at the same time as the first Horizon's content.


Ahh, I bagan to miss the obligatory "rip off, doom and gloom" troll on this thread. At least your attitude and avatar are well matched. [big grin]

we can go down that road if you want to... but I'd rather wait and see what else is in 2.1 first.
1.6 is looking very good, 2.1 not yet.

Most stuff in the list isn't a fix for broken content. The only broken content in season one are kebab NPCs and 3 or 5 mission types. Everything else is / was working as intended so the changes and improvements are additional features. You are right that most improvements are for 1.6 though.
 
Ok, new mission system seems very high priority for people voting here. What do you guys expect we might get with the new system? Chained missions have been announced, but IIRC there haven't been any new mission types announced specifically (like espionage, escort etc.), right?

Chained missions are already in game. We will definitely get the new USS mechanic which I consider an improvement to the mission system. We'll also get different mission givers with faces and a stronger focus on reputation so we'll get an overhauled HUD as well. I expect a few fixes for the currently broken missions but nothing more. Don't get your hopes up for epic quests and saviour of the universe style...
 
Personally as someone who is coming back to Elite after waiting for some content, I am hoping missions but I am right in saying they have said they were updating missions in every patch to date?

If there are more interesting surface bases and dogfighting over them then I am all for that it really will make planets a lot more fun, like most of the game they aren't using what are amazing assets to their best advantage.

After that a huge for my FDL

Then Avatars for some NPCS will help, I am also hoping for some kind of voice over work as part of that feature but that is probably pie in the sky
 
As someone who mainly plays missions I'm really looking forward to that rework.

But in the end I'm excited about pretty much everything in the list. All good additions and changes, and I definitely won't miss the NPC panic roll during combat. With all these updates combined the game will probably feel completely different in some aspects.
