In these 2.1 times we are all awaiting the 2.1 beta. Its amazing what a fine job Frontier has done with this update. It addresses so many important aspects of the game. Both adding content, improving AI and removing bugs. Even giving missiles a boost. I am looking forward getting into the cockpit again.
So why not speculate what the next BIG expansion will be, we do like to speculate
My list goes like this:
1: Adding 1.person interaction and walking. We all know this can be done, Star Citizen is doing it.
-With this comes the opportunity to make persistent NPCs, as a minor update. Although this can still be added with persistent NPCs flying ships.
-First person missions
2: Landing on planets with atmospheres. Frontier has already given us landing on planets without atmospheres and it feels and looks very good. So this can be done to.
-With this comes the option to do something under water, a big task, but I hope we will see this in the future.
3: Building of some sort of bases. Frontier is already looking into this with adding crafting and loot. To make us influence the game world and manufacture/create stuff which can be persistent.
- With this comes the gem in gaming. Adding cohesion, agency and persistence. Which many games are working with right now ARK, Rust and H1Z1. Creating stuff and a primitive base.
I feel these are the 3 big ones. And everything else is updates to these expansions in some way.
So now is the question which one should come first after Horizons?
I would go so far as to add 1.person interaction is some way first, then try to create 1 type of atmospheric planet to land on, and with time do them all like this. So landing on atmospheric planets can be done not with a big expansion but with updates as I think its a very big task to add all atmospheric planets in one go. Like be able to land on volcanic planets first, then nitrogen and so fort. Maybe even earth likes first. Then be able to build a base of some sort when 1.person interaction is in the game.
I will add a poll which where we can vote on what we the commanders want to see first. Just to give Frontier a hint what we think. I will also add some sought after updates. Which have not been mentioned coming in this season pass. Remember this is speculations, but do reflect the wishes of us commanders.
