The waiting for Q1 to go live...

Out of curiosity, what feature particularly lights your fire in 3.0? :D
Having not had access to Beta, and won't be in the game for quite a few weeks (just away from the desktop) I can't really tell what I am looking forward to the most. The Chieftain is high on the list though, as I never could figure out the FAS and I want an alternative to the FdL. Hopefully it will fit my flying style.

Same here. That you are banned from most starports while wanted sounds like a joke indeed.
Sleutelbos cleared up some confusion on your part I think.
That being #1 on the Top 5 Most Wanted list in the system used to have no consequences was the joke. Now finally being a criminal means something in the game.
 
Ouch!

Get we’ll soon, I think it will be around 1st March earliest, as if it’s going to launch across all platforms simultaneously then there will secret Xbox/Playstation packaging and verification hoops that have to be jumped through.

But it will be worth the wait!
 
Take it easy hun. I wouldn't worry too much about missing the launch of a new major update.

That's usually when the worst of the bugs come out. Frankly my money is on when you recover, most of the bugs will have been ironed out giving you a much better first impression then those who hit play the second the game finished updating. Best time to be playing new updates is usually about 3 week or so from launch.
 
I've got to admit, this update has way more things I'm interested in than the last couple of patches! Looking forward to getting my hands on it! :cool:



You think it will be that long? :eek:

It's 7 weeks as of today to the end of Q1, so you could be better before 3 goes live.
 
Honestly, none of it... or all of it. [where is it]
I said before, it's kind of like waiting for a tornado to hit (without the risk) and then seeing what state everything is in afterwards.
I suspect that you are right there. I'm usually wondering what the new big bug is going to be with each new patch! The beta seems to be ok though!
+Rep
Best wishes on your recovery!
I'm also very much looking forward to 3.0 - I mostly play on the console with a group of friends and I'm looking forward to trying out Wing Missions.
Thanks for your wishes! Winged missions will be great, if wings are stable enough to handle it...

best wishes and good recovery. the back is a serious "module", better be patient than sorry. but i'm sure it can be arranged so you can comfortably hyperjump from your bed, will help the time pass and get you closer to the bubble.
Thanks for your best wishes. My copy of ED is on my desktop, and I don't own a laptop [knocked out] I'll just have to wait...

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery!
Thanks!

Good luck with your back Cmdr, enjoy the Diazepam ;)
Buy an X-box controller and go exploring, take a bunch of 'before' screenshots. If you're still in dry dock when 3.0 is released you can go back & take the 'after' shots :)

I'm popping Tramadol four times a day... So a tad spaced out right now lol!

I do hope you didn't have to wait for fours years before they decided to give you surgery, adding to that I had a 23 degree sciatic list when my disk went...backs still not right almost 10 years later, on a more cheerful note I think when it does drop it might bring me back into the game. :)
6 months but it's been a long 6 months before getting it sorted out. Work has been great though and very supportive while I'm dealing with this!
Get well soon OP. Let's hope 3.0 doesn't have too many bugs :)
Thanks! Hopefully any bugs will be fixed by the time I'm on my feet again!
Get well soon!
Had similar 3 years ago with 4 month in bed....! I was playing a lot of Mechwarrior Online at that time...:-D
Cheers Puffy, it's surprising how much your back affects your life!
Get better soon!
Thanks!
I've been making a little money here and there to buy the Chieftain, and maxing out data and mats to make engineering it go smoother. I probably won't fly any other ship for a while. I really liked it in the earlier beta, and they buffed it! The fools! Hahahaha. *ahem*

So yeah, just twiddling my thumbs. :D
Smile, me too! Thumb twiddle buddies [big grin]

I spent a bunch of materials getting the higher optimal mass secondary on some size 5 shields to go on the trade Cutter. I have 2k shields on a g4 thermal mod on size 5 prismatics.
I did this now as they said in the live stream that this mod won't be available straight away in 3.0.
Now to restock materials.
I'll be gathering as much g5 stuff as possible.
With the increased module storage I'll be looking to sell the ships I don't use.
When 3.0 lands I'll be deleting all the book marks for the road to Colonia and finding all the Tech brokers I can and pinning the ones that sell unique items and unlocking all the weapons.
If there's more Guardian stuff to uncover I've told myself I'm going to stick to doing that with the odd break for improving my PVP skills.
For this I'll be needing an engineered Chieftain.
With luck this will tide me over until the next update.
That sounds like an awesome plan! I'm presuming people will be posting the location of tech brokers they find on the forums?
Hi Susanna, I bet you wish you were on a low gravity world at this moment. Get well soon :)
Oh yes! Dead right! But unfortunately, I can't get off the planet right now [blah]
Personally, I've stocked up on arsenic, chem manipulators, datamined wake doodahs .... just so I can max the FSD on my T-10 ready to go off and explore in it for a while and enjoy the new planetary visuals. [heart]
I've done some stocking up too. Hopefully enough to re-engineer my ships...
Sorry to hear you are out of commission...
Thanks!

That we'll see in the live game...
Ouch!

Good point, I was expecting it to drop in the next week or so...
Got a few days off work from Wednesday, I think hoping for it be live by then is asking to much.
If it does, I hope you enjoy it!
Take it easy hun. I wouldn't worry too much about missing the launch of a new major update.

Thanks Adstock, That's my hope too!

I can't see it being that long before Q1 goes live [haha]

Thanks to everyone sending their best wishes! It's very much appreciated! :cool:
 
All the best for a speed recovery!

There is no release date yet anyway, so I suspect its at least a couple of weeks away, and fully expect it to be more.
 
Without getting all 'wishy-washy', I have to say gaming has saved me from going nuts after two boughts of spinal/disc surgery on my neck. While convalescing my 1st pc game (at about 42 years old) was given to me by my son. Little did he know that he was creating a bit of a monster. The results of all my issues has culminated in me becoming disabled.

What was supposed to keep me entertained while I got back on my feet, has turned into my most important sanity anchor. Well almost the most important, my Wife, Son, and Dog keep me from digitizing myself. But, gaming saves me from boredom, and those 'idle hands' my Mother was always worried about.

Let us all wish you the best and speediest recovery possible. I look forward to helping your time on the forum be well spent.

I was disappointed with the Chieftain. Only 5 internal slots so useless for exploration. If they converted even one slot it could become doable.
You never know - maybe a future buff! I wanted more versatility too, but they seemed adamant that it was purely a combat vessel. I'll still add one to my fleet and make it a day to day ship, though. You mark my words! I'm a stubborn mule! :D

Also, recover well, commander!
 
I'm on an Elite break until 3.0 goes live. After playing the beta I don't want to play 2.4 anymore, lol. I want to explore colorful planets!

Instead I'm keeping busy with Civilization VI. I'll keep conquering world's until Elites world gets updated...
 
aye get well soon

that said... not interested in the krait? wash that mouth out! that is like saying you do not like the Cobra ;)

PS are there any other ships coming this season?

PPS personally i am looking forward to the actual new thargoid (is the the scout?? ) (all the rest are kind of the same with ship kits on visually at least, just with more weapons.

Heal fast OP

PS - don't use rudder pedals if you have back problems, get a twister.

LoL... Good point. Thankfully I'm not into Rudders...

Same goes for driving, that's not going to be possible for a while either.

Thanks for all the good wishes from people not already thanked!

I too am waiting for 3.0 to drop before heading out again. I want to see some pretty planets. And given some of the more pronounced elevation changes I found on the planets, I'm taking TWO srvs. Just in case... :)
