David Braben has only one green box?! Sacrilege, surely he should have hundreds of them......
My thoughts too, He now has 1 at least
Hello David I posted a question about SuperCruise. I have one more about chat ingame. Will the interdictions be more random and contain more events, and will we ourselves the commanders be able to interdict other ships in SC? And when will we be able to chat with other commanders ingame or hail them?

From this I take it that the amount of tantalum being produced is related to the amount of coltan being sold to the station? Or is this just being mocked at the moment?
Well then congratulations on your excellent work so far
(Hey! I remember the flood of messages on Kickstarter. This will be peanuts compared to that)
irrstern - "Does the solution architecture of the game as a whole take into account a later upgrade of parts (e.g. the engine itself) to make use of the upcoming new hardware/software possibilities?"
Yes - we are planning for things that many don't have yet - Oculus, 3D, 4k etc etc - but yes we will also build in flexibility for the future too.

Well, the tantalum supply and market value seems to recover better than other commodities. Maybe this is why.
Shouldn't that be Chief Commander Braben!
I used a exclamation mark so it's not a question.

It seemed a good idea at the time, not working so well though.

RobFisher - "Some of the proposals on the DDF are just awesome -- and very ambitious. But doesn't that mean there is soooooo much still to do? Or have you got a lot more in the bag that we haven't seen yet? Can it really be done?"
They are indeed - and the DDF has been great!
I suspect this game will never be completely finished, but that is a good thing. The world will continually move on as we add new content.

so what can we expect to be included in the next release?
Frank - "<puff puff> Am I too late? The game is going to be peppered with tributes. If you could pay homage to only one person, who would it be?"
Well, there is already a tribute that went into Alpha 4 (and is in PB1 too), to the excellent late Colin Pillinger and his Beagle 2 spacecraft - with the station "Beagle 2 Landing".
In Frontier there were plenty of tributes too - for example to the wonderful late Richard Feynman - the planet "Feynman" as the nearest exoplanet to Earth.

What was the most interesting discussion you've had with the design team when they wanted to change something from legacy Elites?
How very dare you sir
Out of intererest Dr Wookie, from a scientific perspective, have we got any idea of planet density in there? What other kind of 'interesting' things could there be?
That planet needs a location called 'Tannu Tuva'.
