Thanks for the insights to all participants, quick one from me:

Is the new thing that can’t be talked about about NPCs as part of a player wing or as escorts etc? :p wink once if yes, twice if not.

While I would love to have NPCs in my ships or as part of a wing I will be surprised if it's in the Q4 update. Hopefully I am wrong.

That’s a large amount of feedback on a large amount of work.

This means huge volumes of exciting new ways for the community to deliver their special style of branded feedback.

(Griefing forum troll)
Pah, Elite is sooo dead with these new mechanics and visuals, they just can not keep up with the visuals and hyped tech demo promises of unreleased vaporware products or small indie teams with less scope and depths of mechanics and simpler graphics.

And to delivery free of charge, how dare they I mean the love for the lifetime pass holders is just not there, how FDev betrayed them by making it a huge frame of a sand box a mile wide and and using only an inch deep worth of sand. So dead!! THEN they just dump in bury the 1 inch of dead worthless sand with 3 feet’s worth of dead sand.

Nice summary OP, I approve!

And I'm still around and willing (but also still bound by nda) if anyone wants to squeeze any more quotes out of me. I am in the middle of cooking a Sunday roast tho' so I'll be popping in and out of the forum.

Above all else tho' I just want to get my hands on 3.3 now 'cos it's looking really good. Wish I knew some dates ... but alas I don't.

Does the ship sensor can detect now objects on the planet surface (ship wrecks etc) and are the huge nonsensecircles on the radar now history?

Hey, it takes a lot more than sandwiches, coffee, mars bars, bar football, lunch with DBOBE and an all expenses paid evening booze up to buy my soul. If Q4 sucked I'd tell you! ;)

No offense to you but we had the same kind of post from OA last year before 3.0 and we know the result. Again, not against you but I learnt my lesson.

You accuse him of corruption and bribe taking and you mean no offense?

Yeah, 3.0 was pretty great.

Ohh, you are just generally salty. Carry on.

Indeed 3.0 was a solid update. The new piracy targets and wing missions were cool additions.
As was engineering rebalance.

Though Q4 needs to go an extra mile beyond what 3.0 did in term of quality IMO.

Ohhh definitely. Also Q4 is much bigger in sense that lot of really core things fundamentally will change.

No problem at all and I completely understand. I had a lengthy talk with OA about that. He's a nice guy you know, he meant well but things get misinterpreted, assumptions are made and before you know it people are damming you for over-hyping and then they never trust you again. I think many of us felt quite wary about how much to say (although we may have subsequently got slightly carried away with our excitement). I think on one of my very first posts about all this I said that I was deliberately trying to avoid hyping Q4 and that still stands. Avoiding Q4 itself then, what I will say is that I genuinely believe FD are just trying to do the right thing. They can seem evasive and obtuse and naive and inefficient and all sorts of other things and it's easy to get carried away with accusations about them manipulating us (the attendees) and chasing the money and all that ... but the bottom line for me is that I trust them, I believe they're doing the best they can and I think all that other stuff is nonsense, I really do!

Agreed. I also thought that 3.0 was a good upgrade. Nice trade tools, better engineers, a C&P system that is better (but far from perfect) then the old one, wing missions (again could be better, but at least they are in now). A lot of good stuff in 3.0 which can only get better in the future too.

Looking forward to Q4, should be very interesting.

Wowzer! So Ed's just confirmed on lunchtime livestream that there will probably be 6 1hr long livestreams to cover all the Q4 content!

No dates yet.

Hi Alec, not too sure if this has been asked. Where there any BGS updates, not asking for specifics obviously.

Let me put it this way ... I can see the Q4 changes getting me (and many other people I suspect) involved in the BGS where previously it held little interest.
