Will you pre-order the next DLC? I will... and that's why:

- Start date

Yes, because I'm a parasite who likes ticking off the self-righteous.

Depends on what I get for pre-ordering. A price cut, a new ship, early access etc.
I'm not going to pre-order just because.

Usually a pre-order comes with an incentive bonus in the form of ingame items or discounted price. It's true with most all games. If those are appealing, then sure why not. Pre-order just because some DLC is coming out? I've never done that, regardless of how much I like a game.

Will have to see, might need an upgrade to my GTX 960 card first!

Do. I made the move from 960 to 1060 and my goodness is it amazing.
Yeah it's on my watch list. I don't play that many games but I do play a lot of Elite and if I'm going to do so it has to be at top whack. I still get 60fps in most situations but maybe the next release will result in a bump in spec. Will see first...
I want to own everything that truly expands and improves the ED universe.
I already have the LEP, so I'm good.
In general Pre-ordering is not my thing. Why should I pre-order? The game industry hardly ever offers anything worthwhile for pre-ordering games. There is no reason to pre-order.
I would pay extra for an offline solo version of the game, let's say a hundred bucks (I'm prepared to offer more
).

I think your logic is flawed OP because you seem to suggest that a higher number of pre-orders will incentivise Frontier into making the next expansion better in some way. I don't think it works that way... they will have a plan and try to execute that plan for the next expansion. Its success financially will dictate the successive expansions not the current one and you won't swing that through pre-orders.
You don't ever invest in a computer game you pay to consume it.

LEP pass holder here. So i already did so, and do not regret it.
I mean, i play for some time almost every day. I do so as i still have fun. (If you join some discord channels, you could believe that the game is pure torture and playing it is worse than self-castigation... but as long as i avoid those and just play, it's fun. ) Considering how much time i already spent in the game and how much fun i had, even the cost for the LEP already has payd itself off. Especially when looking at other games, often also with good reviews, how much they have cost and how much they have entertained me, ED wins.
So whatever the next expansion is, I am optimistic. As long as they don't break the base game, any addition is fine for me.

Dunno if i will pre-order. Not because i am afraid of what the next big one will bring, but rather because i rarely do that in general. Rest assured though, it will be bought the second it comes out.
If the next DLC is various atmospheric planets inc. Ammonia, Liquid, lava, gas giants and basic (ie no life) worlds and pre ordering gets it to you sooner and it cost £45, then yea, probably.
If it's a Mars type addon only then no.
Plus, none of this... 'Ice worlds gonna be upgraded - er, actually we changed our minds, it's coming SoonTM'. Like, where's the Scatter Rock tech they said was coming, they didn't mention that wasn't coming out in 3.3, just the ice world changes had been delayed.

You need to look for fissure cracks on the roid before wasting your prospect limpets. They are pretty easy to spot, especially if you have night vision on. Finding the right roid can take a little time, but man..is it profitable. Last night I went from 72 million to 119 million in one session of core mining, with a 96 (ton?) cargo hold on an Asp explorer. Helps that the one area I really enjoy in this game are the ring systems, and since that lighting patch they look pretty amazing.
As for pre-ordering...by default, no. From what i've seen of development over the years since release I can't fathom why I would leap at it. They would have to show before its release that it was worth considering, imo.
The only thing these players will assure is positive cashflow for the studio.
We don't know anything about the next DLC. All we know is that FD are moving away from the "season" path that they had until now.
I most likely won't be preordering, but never say never. I'll wait to see what's on offer and what they want for it. ED is no longer the only fish in the sea, so to speak and there'll most certainly be more in the near future.
