...and you my friend have the worst signature ever!
I bet you have used Windows' Paint for it...Nah, just kidding, it has some depth for sure..., if one will stare at it long enough...
Cheers Commander!

Thanks for the stream !
Concerning surface dogfight which was hinted at tonight...
I have to say, back when 2.0 was released there was some disappointment for the lack of NPC action on the surface.
IIRC, at the time, no improvements seemed to be planned on this matter.
So, just wanted to say thank you for working on this !!
Can't wait to dogfight through canyons !!

They get to modify the Mahon heat laser with experimental heat mods for game-breaking effects.

Yes, this was my main complaint about 2.0.
It seems they may now have exceeded my expectations, I half expected them to fudge the AI to avoid tricky terrain. Great to hear canyon runs are in.
30-40?!?! I wish I could get frame rates that high
. Sadly the best video card I could afford-at the time-was simply not up to the task of delivering good frame rates!- - - - - Additional Content Posted / Auto Merge - - - - -
Remember, these new weapons are not available OFF THE SHELF.
All that would do is break the thermal shock mod! [big grin]
For the next Live Stream, I would like for FD to speak to the fact that every single mission has a timer.
I do not know of any other game where even the majority of missions have timers. Normally time is used for strategic reasons and to put pressure on players in special circumstances.
I can understand deliveries of passengers and some goods having some sort of time attached- but would it always be minutes or a couple of hours maximum? Does no-one in the Elite galaxy plan ahead of time? Surely some goods are rare or hard to find and so a week would not be unreasonable.
Exploration missions would surely not be just 5 hours long even.
Why couldn't a surveil or assassination mission where the target has to be hunted, time out after a week. What, travelling a hundred light years and tracking down a target can only ever be done in 2 hours?
I'm not sure how FD could tweak this, but it seems there should be missions with more time allotment and maybe more variation on the way time is employed by FD in the various game mechanics and modes (ex: missions, community goals and even Power Play).

Problem with eliminating timers altogether is you could stack missions to an absurd degree. Most games don't have infinitely spawning procedurally generated missions, so they don't need to make them expire.

They should fix the Mahon heat beam so that it actually works, too. We don't yet know how difficult or rare it will be to get the Engineers' mod, so even if the two devices end up being roughly equivalent, there would still be a value to the Mahon weapon (if it actually worked properly).
That's true but it would still be nice to have some non-timed missions and/or missions with longer durations for those of us that are time-limited. I'd love to see quest-like missions that could potentially take a week or more to complete.
Interesting what they said about the POI's. I wasn't really expecting they could do much more than hint but at least they DID hint the direction I was hoping they would.
Plus pretty cool having a question read out

Remarkable indeed. I already liked to the peek of the newsletter
This is a Excellent news with the NPC close to the surface
Absolutely fabulous livestream, massive thanks to Ed and Michael.
Really love the new outfitting screens and super excited about the planet surface graphical improvements.
P.S. summary of livestream here for those that haven't seen it ...

Yours breaks the rules - image is max size which means no text underneath.
.. if only you hadn't mentioned Naguals I wouldn't have though "gee, your signature looks kinda big"
Yes, hopefully this means the game will run better on my admittedly inferior graphics card
. I think I will splurge on a better card before this year is out though!
Don't think so, I think the pattern is one a week, day before the next newsletter.
