As a non-LEP type Id love to know when the next paid content for them is! 
News Lifetime Expansion Pass Holders - Update!
- Status
Very interested to know what ships/paint-jobs are going to be made available.
I am way across the Spiral and nowhere near any stations, so it's going to be a long time before I can get my hands on anything anyway.
Certainly won't have any use for Christmas Bobbleheads by the time I get back.

lol, called it.
Ho ho ho!
Sorry, but as a LEP purchaser, I’m still pretty underwhelmed. Especially since I don’t really like bobble heads, I hope the paint jobs are neat, but realistically there’s a slim chance I’ll even use them. I own dozens. Would be nice to get exclusive paint jobs to show off/brag about our support at least. I hope we get our money’s worth with paid expansions later. You guys are doing a good job overall FDEV, keep it up
I'm a non LEP but have easily spent hundreds on this game in IGPs
Wasn't a big challenge since they already announced it before...
Still, as a LEP owner you won't get a thank you from me for that. I thank you for continuing to support the game 4 years after release and I thank you for all the hard and enthusiastic work. But not for a few paintjobs that I probably don't want anyway, I'd trade them for some information about the future of the game any time.
For those unfamiliar with the Lifetime Expansion Pass:
- Gives access to all updates, expansions, and betas (and bonus cosmetics too as it turns out) for no additional cost.
- This includes the upcoming new Era for Elite Dangerous which has been in full production for ~6 months now.
- Was available for purchase from Kickstarter (Nov 2012) to end of Premium Beta (Summer 2014), costing between £30 and £50 depending on backing tier.
- KS backer tiers of Premium Beta and Alpha included the Lifetime Expansion Pass.
- Was made available again Aug 2015, costing £120 to Elite Dangerous owners, or £130 for new players (included the basegame).
- Beta access to all 1.x updates (1.0 to 1.9) - also available to backers of Elite Dangerous Open Beta tier (which cost £50).
- Beta access to all 2.x updates (2.0 to 2.4) - also available to owners of Horizons Beta (which cost £40 at launch).
- 29x Black Friday paintjobs - also available on FDevStore during Black Friday, and given to early pre-orders of Horizons.
- Gold Asp Explorer paintjob - also given to owners of Horizons before 6th Feb 2016.
- (NEW) two festive bobbleheads and six all-new paint jobs.
Fdev,
Quite frankly that is absolutely DISGUSTING. I paid over £120 for the product when Horizons was announced. I was purchased what was described to me at point of sale as a Lifetime Season Pass. All I have received is the same as what people purchasing Beyond have received for less than 1/3 of that price. I did not purchase Bobbleheads, nor did I purchase paintjobs. I purchased a lifetime of seasons. In UK law goods must be fit for the purpose they were bought for and be as described, I would argue strongly that this does not meet either criteria.
I am so furious I have wasted over £80 for nothing. That is a LOT of money. I will make it clear here and now that I do not intend to let this matter go. I will be contacting your customer services about this issue and if it is not resolved with a reasonable refund then I hereby inform you that I will be taking action via the small claims court until the matter is dealt with. Sufficed to say I will not be purchasing any further products from Frontier unless this is dealt with acceptably.
Good day.

People didn't buy the LEP for "free" content. They purchased it to get paid content.
More precisely, we purchased LEP so FDEV could consider creating paid content for everyone to buy, and we would have access to with no charge.
As a LEPH, I would gladly voluntarily pay something extra to support development. I buy ship skins in the meantime
Same here.
Can't wait for a roadmap for the next "season" or whatever shape it'll take!
Beyond cost nothing to CMDRs. I assume you're referring to Horizons Beta, which cost £40 when the LEP was available for £120?
We LEP owners will get the next Era at no additional cost, plus any further expansions afterwards, plus the rewards we've received so far.
