How is a base-building game with chibi-planets competition for a space-sim?

Well, I would say the speed at which Hello Games is developing NMS and FD is developing ED there is a good chance that NMS will surpass ED quite soon :)
And yes, they are competing in the same genre although with different approach...

Has to be said that as trailers go, it did not get my juices flowing...

Curiously I'm more interested in that galnet news article (16th August) about the new Computer Designs being announced... Now that sounds interesting :)

This game is in depserate need of a "Red Wedding" scene.

And im not just talking about the Royal Wedding on the 25th.

If the update was a guardian ship showing up and blowing everything up, humans,thargoids, planets, just pure annihilation - id be interested again. They did something crazy. Id respect that.

However, probly gonna be a reskin of the Krait and some new guardian site you need an external website to find.

Brilliant.

As I've said before what Hello Games have done with NMS should be applauded. But let's not get carried away with the idea that it's developmentally comparable to Elite Dangerous, because it's not. Technically the two are very different games with very different considerations and requirements.

Secondly whilst all of Hello Games devs are likely to be working on the next update, it's certainly true Frontier's devs are not. They have and have had teams working on various features (ie atmospheric landings etc) for a long period of time, so comparing numbers of devs is in some ways incomparable.

For those of you disappointed that space legs, atmospheric planets or major features aren't coming in Beyond Chapter 3, you have to remember that Frontier always said Chapter 3 would be a small update, like Chapter 2.

When its developed a flight model and a realistic universe? Sounds like its just a quick patch away eh?

Erm is it me or is that the most dull game trailer ever made. 15 seconds of nothing much at all, most of that focused on the ED logo.

My expectation levels were incredibly low for this update, they just dropped.

I can only hope for some QOL improvements and many needed bug fixes.

But it can't be dull, there has been over a 100 posts speculating what this mysterious object could be, the forum is abuzz with trying to interpret and analyse every single frame of the video!

Not that you should take much notice of any trailer, but this is just the teaser trailer. The proper one will be along later. Marketing huh?

Ooh will it be a big ship we can get near to and scan? Oooh that sounds exciting! [haha]


Hopefully it’ll be a bit more than that.

Perhaps right after FD solves all the bugs and adds space legs with atmospheric landing... It's still not impossible.
BTW, realistic universe is not what NMS is going for and you know it.

... which is not surprising, given the content starvation. I mean, throw a live chicken at starved people in Africa and watch the Hunger Games. No, wait, that was terrible. :p

Imagine if the vessel blueprints allow us to unlock Guardian variants of our current ships. Same hull integrity, but the ship hull mass is reduced by 50% and visually the hull has blue glow sections.

All very lovely until the guardian AI integral to hybrid ship design decides to kill you for some reason

Yeah the forums would be set alight by people shouting that the Guardian variant of the Anaconda was too OP for jump range and too good at everything.
