You've convinced me!
It's doomed folks , frontier are about to close the servers; run to the hills with ur stuffs...[wacky]
My ... my world is ending??Now look what you've done
'thistle' believes you and is convinced that his world is ending... again!
Given that nothing has been said about season four the content is only what you speculate and imagine it to be or not to be, so nothing anyone should get excited about.
Otherwise it would just be hyping your own wish list which will always end in disappointment.
Some important dude once said something about a "new era". Though playing this update, maybe he meant "new error". [haha]
The problem. Is one man's wine is another's vinegar. The reason I personally am not playing right now is the main reason a lot of people are claiming they are enjoying the game again (void opals or what ever they are called)
The conspiracy theorist in me noted that never once did that important dude say "Elite: Dangerous".
He might have been talking about a forthcoming "season 1"
However, as we went through the early stages of what the next era for Elite Dangerous would be...
The future content that has started in production is a whole new era/chapter/milestone in Elite. Much like Horizons was and like Beyond was/is.
The conspiracy theorist in you conveniently missed all the references to it being an ED expansion then![]()
Yeah after reareading those links in their original context I'm even more suspicious.
All I saw was "era" "chapter" "milestone" and "landmark" For Elite. Didn't see anything about an Update or an Expansion to Elite : Dangerous, or anything about a Season. Language was way too cagey and weird.
To be fair, the language was odd at the time, and was noted as such. I'm pretty sure the question was even asked at the time, in the thread where questions were being answered.Ok, you are correct. This is very conspiratorial. It's like aliens just came down and moved your goalposts...
If this helps: They didn't call it a Season because they're not using the Season format any more.
They did say that the new format, whatever the hell it is, would be 'much like' the recent expansions Horizons and Beyond.
But however, I suspect you are correct, and what they are in fact talking about is something that is in no way a paid expansion for the Elite Dangerous game. Hell no. Where's that crazy talk coming from?
Just like Oklahoma. The game is... OK.
To celebrate Frontier's 25th anniversary, tomorrow is the start of Coaster week and we're bringing you all on the ride! Throughout the week, we will be celebrating and will be ending the week with a special stream on Friday! Keep an eye out for how to join us in the festivities!

Me? I suspect it was just non-committal language about something not set in stone yet.
The possibility remains it's a rework as well as an expansion - address some of the inevitable technical debt built up over 6 years to enable them to more easily add the features we all want. A rework of the code beyond just adding a new expansion would also tie in with the reasoning for postponing the ice planet rework, for example.
