News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement

Looks fantastic FD. I am calmly hyped, and I don't hype too often.

3 wishes

  • Please keep this focus going forward on the core of what you have, flesh out other "careers" and add other ways for players to interact (emergent play like Fuel Rats, etc.)
  • Keep working on DDF topics that aren't done yet (would be nice for an update but I know that will never happen)
  • Squadrons is a start to improving the simulation through player group interaction, but we need the BGS and Power Play merged top to bottom, and easier ways to see the system politics and wars (well, even single players need that, so it works for all. We need dedicated BGS screens showing faction states, territory, happenings, and that could be a nice overlay on an Orrey similar to the Power-Play galactic overlay, but with some more text available for clarity; which should of course all feed programmatically into GalNet news)

Looking forward to dropping quite a few hours into the ED game in November and December.

*(Plus, it goes without saying, so I'll say it of course, keep working on the new paid content of atmospheres and procgen life that you have been doing R&D on for the last 4+ years.)

A previous space game ' jumpgate ' had a similar mechanic where clouds bled through Shields and ate hull, if my memory works.

Indeed Jumpgate did have space weather. Some ate your shields, some your hull. And some blew you off course, which was a PITA when you were flying a loaded 500 ton tow (i.e. brick) towards a tiny spec that was the next Jumpgate.

A 500 ton loaded Tow was not for turning.

But I would seriously love this space weather in Elite to be gas giant outer atmospheres.

Personally, I'll know the exploration content is done right when I set the nav to economy, and want to leave it there.

Yay looks great!

I'll miss the first bit, as I have to go away and look at a big hole in the ground. But I will be back for the mining bit.

:D S

Hi there Cosmo, customisable HUD colours won't be coming in the Chapter Four update.

That's a pitty. There's a large group of people who've requested this for years.

For example on the subreddit:

UnholyDemigod
"I swear to god if you’ve given us the ability to change HUD colours so that console players can do it too, I will be as happy as a pig in s**t"
Link

UnholyDemigod
"God dammit. I’m sick of this ugly orange"
Link

LethalByte
"the ability to change HUD colours is high on my list...."
Link

Core Dynamics
"I really hope they add an in game way of changing the HUD color. The .ini edit isn't hard but it is annoying if you forgot to add the line that locks it."
Link

-zimms-
"Console players will finally be able to choose between light orange and dark orange. :D"
Link

Wish this was available to PS4 / console cmdr’s :-(

I'm sure FDev wishes that as well, but it's a MS and Sony thing. All updates (Beta's as well) have to be certified. So in essence, you're never really playing a 'beta' on console like you are for a beta on PC. Since it's not a final release version, MS and Sony won't post up a beta version to download.
