the only way it will survive and grow is through large scale premium content.

So that's why they gave the last expansion away for free and started shoveling paint and skins out at least once a week... Because large scale premium content, and not cosmetics, pay the bills... Sure......

Will you post about this subject when Frontier release their next paid expansion for Elite?

I thought the free QOL improvements and content for all were a response to the continual screeching that people wanted QOL improvements and content for all.
 
Do you know something I don't? Care to share it with us?

If he does, he can't .. but you aren't under a NDA so can you let me know why there Wont be any new content? wadda ya know?

What if I told you that they were M&S raspberries?

Well .... then I might ... No! .. I can't do it - The content is there for everyone, not just your belly .. play nice or I'll make you stand in the corner!

I know the same as everyone else, and it's what was on the LEP sales page, and I have no reason to doubt Frontier. But yes, I entirely agree they have taken far too long about getting these updates out there. I also agree that still waiting for a paid update nearly three years after Horizons is a joke. That said, that is somewhat offset by the free update of Beyond. Even still, if someone had told me in 2015 that by 2018 we still wouldn't have had Atmospherics or Space Legs, I would have been very surprised.

I still fully believe that Frontier will deliver though.

Did they, I must have missed that (not being funny here) do you have a source?

Lunchtime livestream. They rarely announce anything new, but are a good source of 'we are aware, nothing to announce' messages. Which is all you will get - until they are ready to announce.

That's kind of contradictory... You know their track record is bad, but you believe they will do better in the future? Silly me for judging people for their actions instead of their words...

Also, that page is 4 years old... And they deleted it.... It's almost like they don't want people to see it or something...

Page was deleted because the website no longer exists. :D

Give it a few months, and if we hear nothing about paid expansions I will join you on the ranting. :)

I see you fail to understand that development can take a lot longer than initially forecast. Do you really think any devs want delays on premium content? It is just how the industry works, it is ready when it is ready. Also not sure why you have brought cosmetics into this? Ship skins etc are a steady stream of income. What I am talking about is large future expansions similar in scale and price to horizons.

Anyway, not getting dragged deep into these silly conversations, I suggest you go out and get some sun, and a beer, sounds like you haven't had either in a while..

What is it you actually want? If they say 'it is coming, we will tell more later' you say you will be angry. When they said explicitly they are working on space legs and atmo planets, multiple times, including the CEO, you dont believe them and become angry. When they say nothing, you are angry...
 
We're into Q2, 3.1 is out, FD have released more paid 'content'. So... Where's the stuff? You know... The stuff LEP holders are supposed to get for 'free'. Where is it? What is it? TELL US SOMETHING FD... ANYTHING....


Edit: Who thought naming 3.1 'chapter 2' was a good idea........ Time for more coffee....

Frontier has stated on more than one occasion that the " Beyond chapters " are going to be provided at no additional cost, (due to the fact it is suppose to be focused on previous released modules).

I am willing to bet when Frontier releases the next phase, it will cost something similar to the Horizons add-on module or DLC for the Steam Community. When that happens, those of us who purchased the Lifetime Expansion Pass, will receive the new premium module(s) at no additional charge.

The paid content released so far this year has all been cosmetic or audio and unlike the game modules, they are not required to play the game.
Patience . . . after all, didn't somewhere Frontier say they have a ten-year plan for Elite Dangerous? In my opinion, Frontier will take care of the Lifetime Expansion Pass holders; after all, have they given any indication to the contrary?

Careful... The number 10 triggers people here.
 
A strange topic, this one.
A call for paid content, or news about paid content, so as to feel better about purchasing a LEP?
