Ed said something interesting

Why is it called commanders then?
You really think that I think the live stream only got 3 viewers...
I'll stand by all of what I said in my post regarding the drip drip style of information given to the community.
The 3 viewer bit was a cheap shot at FD. I admit not very funny outside of my own head, but I tend to type as I speak or what ever pops into my head as my fingers are bashing the keys in a frantic must post this before my head explodes type of thing.
Needless to say when I start replying to post I shouldn't be replying to because if you take what I said seriously, its time for me to move away from the PC and do something a bit more constructive than post crap on a game forum.

It wasn't Ed getting excited about the best stuff still to come but the fact that sandy agreed that was interesting...
That said it can only be aliens, they already started down that road with the interactions and sites..... scanners and sensors are small fry and even asteroid bases would be no more revealing then the megaships
Hopefully it's bigger then just the alien vessels we've seen so far

An extension of the voice acting maybe?
Don't read too much into this guys. I think if anything it was a comment to maintain hype after demoing an addition that is unwanted some, and the centre of a lot of "opinionated" discussion.
First, It's called commanderers.
Second, why not? 2.2 and 2.1 introduced lots of new surface features.
No, I just assumed you were speaking in hyperbole to imply that the streams barely get any views, just saying that's silly. The streams are pretty popular and do a good job of showing the community little snippets or insight into the development process and people judge them a little too harshly when they don't show content they personally want to see.
Same here. I'm kind of excited about this because it means exploration outside the bubble might involve more than just jumping and scanning. I'm not really convinced this update will include attacks by the Thargoids, but I can maybe imagine finding more evidence of their existence on landable planets.
At least, that's what I'm choosing to hope for.
They just patched the game to allow commanders to instantly detect and find alien ruins from 1000ls away in supercruise. Better scanning mechanics is not something Frontier is even thinking about. Just look how long the SRV scanner bug has persisted now, we don’t even have any word on when or even IF it is getting fixed. They don’t care about scanning mechanics, not enough to develop for it.
Yep my thoughts as well.
This is a rough transcript of that part for anyone unable to view it...
======
Ed: Let me tell ya ... I don't think you've seen the best stuff that's in 2.3 yet.
General: but multi crew's...
Sandro: Multi crew's awesome but I'm with Ed.
Adam: However there is something ...
Sandro: Basically we're adding, it's all good.
Adam: Although it's coherent as well, it all kind of um ... works together. You know multicrew, faces, holo me vanity camera you can see each other its connected.
======
My guess is a totally revamped insurance/crime & punishment system...
Well if it's all connected is there any chance we could be flying even bigger ships...?
Probably not, but it would push some people's end game a little further.
- - - Updated - - -
I'm so daft! It's walking around on the ship (if not further)
Nope, the devs explicitly said that isn't part of 2.3 at all.
Seems MC is being looked at quite favourably in general. Some here however are probably looking forward to 2.4: Infinite Tissues.
Thats what I thought this tread was about, what is this secret datalink that was brushed over as false news...I imagine it will be exactly like the hatch in LOST but completely different.
Now I want to write the adult novella set in the Elite Universe: 50 Shades of Beige.
Yes I heard that too.
I think Ed is a cruel person
That'd because he's been mentored by Michael and Sandro
