I imagine the transition will be made smoother at some point, but how much of the station are you expecting to see at ~30km/s ?
good question
Not only this but will there be add ons to the ships like in frontier which take up cargo space such as better shield generators, engines ect ect so making your load out a decision and leading to 100's of individual styled ships?

Hi David
I am and old veteran of the original Elite on the BBC micro.
Their has been debate on whether ED will be on a single shard or multiple shards/instances. Are you able to confirm if ED will be on single shard or multiple.
Yes. The very large ships will be able to carry the smaller ships in the game, by sacrificing cargo space. Similarly we will have the ability to fit shield generators, larger engines etc out of cargo space. This should indeed lead to a good deal of variation.

Hi David, FD,
Apologies if this has already been covered (I have done a brief search)
Planetary docking - I know we arent getting seemless Planetary landing in V1, but how soon will planetary docking (with loading screen) be happening?
Thanks,
Andrew Winter.

As a clan /Guild leader what scope will their be for groups like us in ED as a number of us like to play in groups from your original concept?
