The 2.3 Positive Vibes thread.

As the title suggests, this is a thread for the things we appreciate and like/are looking forward to the most about the 2.3 update thats about to drop.

Me, personally..am looking foward to having an avatar. It gives me a sense of place in the universe of Elite.

Next is the camera suite. As an editor im looking forward to making some sick videos.

Then its new additions like asteroid bases and interiors. Variety is very welcome.

Being able to jump into my mates ship for the first time since he left for the Core some months ago will be a treat. And im sure he will also like to see whats happening in the bubble on my corvette also.

Finally the all round boost to perfromance and optimisation and various tweaks are always the icing on the cake.


All in all, its a massive update and I think Obsidian Ant really puts into perspective the amount of work and effort that went into this huge undertaking:

F.D My respect.

My sense of anticipation is as high as it was when Horizons first came out with planetary landings. Watched ObsidianAnt's vid before seeing this post - the new features are introduced in turn, worth looking at if you've not been involved in the beta testing - and I would list the new features in opposite order, in order of interest to me personally. Good work by FD incoming for sure. Really enjoying this game recently.

I have been waiting for the avatar creator since I bought the game, and I think it's great, for my play it will get a great deal of use.
The new camera system is a leap forward from what we have, only scratched the surface of what can be done with it during the beta.
And as usual that's a lot of small improvements that really add to the game - station orientation in SC is just one.

Yes I sincerely think this is a great improvement overall to the game. We get deeper multiplayer and social gameplay with the Holo-me character creator and multicrew. Camera suite lets players make awesome videos, screenshots and fly ships in 3rd person. We get megaships, Dolphin, ship name plates, alien base and more.

Multicrew needs non-combat roles, and the exiting careers need more depth. I think the game needs guilds, base building and more variety per system, but I'm happy with what we are getting. More should come with 2.4.

Seeing my own character and others in ship
Naming my ship and seeing it, others seeing it.
Longer sensor range blueprint in engineers... "BIG DEAL FOR ME" and hardly mentioned lately.
Mega ships and their potential
Finally a system to easily meet people.
Love the new station tracking in nav holo
Camera suite!!!!

Just to name a few good vibes, and there are plenty more.

I think we forum dwellers like to nitpick every single change until its all doom and gloom. Always nice to see a video of the entire update as it gets rid of the tunnel vision we get when things like rewards for crew members gets changed.

I think multicrew is a neat idea but will ultimately be underutilised.... I guess Frontier will see that (or not) for themselves

In the mean time Obsidian Ant will work on his vocal range :p

Indeed.

Look forward to? Well, all the main features, obviously, and the multi-crew in particular. Though, new and more POIs is a very good thing. And I hope (and believe) that this will be even further expanded upon. The new history tab isn't too shabby either. Quality of life enhancements in, no doubt, important in a game as Elite.

Edit. Forgot about the wing members getting full bounty rewards. That's really good and about time.

I am looking forward to seeing more hand crafted content and alien encounters.

also hoping the tweaks to the orca as well as maybe some tweaks to luxury passenger missions give her more of a role

also looking to build a long range passenger dolphin and an exploration DBX

the new POIs (using CQC assets) pretty much seen them done that and not expecting much content from them in 2.3 glad they are there tho and should get a purpose going forward to 2.4 and beyond.

But what if war happens and we all get wiped out before we can get the patch? :O Oh wait this is supposed to be a positive vibe thread?

Everything will be hunky dory wonderful with honey dipped marshmallow toffee in a sunny flowery field of fairies frolicking with butterlies in the wind of laughter! [haha] :p :)[heart][heart]:rolleyes:
