Dear Frontier/The Community,
If we look at our setups for playing Elite, almost all of us have invested hundreds if not thousands in gaming hardware, decent PC, VR headset etc, almost all just to play Elite. And that is not counting the time which for most of us is in the hundreds of hours; for some in the thousands.
It amounts to a lot.
But how much does Frontier get? Right now Elite is on sale for a measly 5gbp. Sure we try and support by buying content like ship skins etc but that can only go so far. For Frontier to continue to develop Elite it needs money to do it. And I am really concerned, especially given all the time and effort I have gone into playing the game that the day comes they decide to stop developing the game. Or, horror of horrors, they close the servers killing the game for good. For these things NOT to happen, Frontier needs money from us.
I think we need another paid for expansion pass, like Horizons, which has a bunch of new ships/content maybe something else like jump gates that open up other areas of the galaxy easily or maybe a satellite galaxy like magellanic cloud or something. And its only accessible to those who buy the paid for content. I really dont mind spending another 40gbp on Elite expansion especially if its going to help the game develop and pay the salary of the devs who work on it, especially considering all the money I spent on hardware its a pittance really.
We need to think about the future and I for one am all in favour of future paid for content, in fact I think its a necessity to keep this game alive.
