Agreed. And, as someone (Babel?) mentioned, make them switch-on-off-able in the right hand panel (well, the docking computer at least)
ANNOUNCEMENT April Update - Coming 23 April 2019
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
Nice! Just as I was thinking whether those "3-4 months between smaller updates" were counted since Beyond release, or since the 2020 update announcement.
Just FYI, the news article on Steam still says Elite rank.

Nice improvements and look forward to it. Just one complaint. Why use the phrase 'get go'. Such a stupid phrase. In English 'get' means you do not yet have it. If you're using 'get go' to mean 'start' then 'got stop' must mean 'end'?
We've passed the feedback on but this is not planned for the moment.
I've gotta say, these are some changes that I honestly never thought I'd see in Elite. So many years of things like auto-pilot being dismissed by the devs.
I'm going to reserve judgement on whether it's a good thing or a bad thing until I see it in action, I'm just taken by surprise... On the one hand it's making the learning curve much less vertical which can be off-putting for new players. On the other hand is this really addressing the issues surrounding long-distance Supercruise travel? I'm not so sure.

Because it's a fairly common term meaning 'from the start'?
Well that all sounds rather spiffing!
A lot of things that have been asked for by the community,keep this up and we won’t have anything to complain about1

I enjoy giving and receiving challenges. It's a healthy balance.

Dumbing down the game is not the way to go.
CMDRs can go from a Sidewinder to an Anaconda is a few hours, completely foregoing the opportunity to gain experience and learning to play the game. Credits are no replacement for experience.
You've also allowed griefing and killing for no reason, a change from what the game was originally envisioned.
An increasing parade of desperate "fixes" have had to be implemented to address this mistake.
Speed limits in stations instead of shadowbanning station rammers. Then they started ramming "speeders" to enforce the speed limits they caused to be implemented...
Crime and Punishment system.
Now noob areas where experienced CMDRs can't even reach to help out and take new CMDRs under their wing, all because the devs caved to pressure from EVE-like players who wanted a free fire zone throughout Elite.
How much time and resources have been wasted on this, and how much further along could meaningful content be?
There's already a huge issue of CMDRs with no idea how to fly, outfit, navigate, etc., and the impetus to learn to do so are being taken away.
Elite is a niche game, only a certain segment is going to be interested. Just like the military, the military isn't right for everyone, and not everyone who wants to join is right for the military. Trying to shoehorn people into a game like Elite is going to backfire. Please rethink this.

Does the beginners zone mean people are locked out if they have a rank, or people are locked in until they have a rank, or both?
This update sounds awesome too, looking forward to it

This is going to make botting in Powerplay so much easier. Thanks, I'm looking forward to watching the numbers whizz up.
Just messing with you mate, your videos are pretty much the only PvP one's I enjoy watching. Happy hunting.
