We're basically a year maybe bit more away from 2020 release

It will be like the Guardians or Thargoids.

Exciting during the release and for a while after, but then business as usual.

I like business as usual, but I always think what it would be like if they had a Community Management team that were actually engaged in the game and had some real authority.

“Let’s give open only PowerPlay a two month trial - call it s season”

“Let’s wrote some lore that reflects the in-game realities”

“Let’s pick a side and make life hard for our enemies”

“Let’s make some Alts and join some opposing groups”

“Let’s make a competitive PvP team”

“Let’s make some stuff really hard for noobs”

“Let’s find out how HIP 30661 ended up like that”

“Let’s take one of the abandoned GalNet stories and make a real thing out of it.”

“Let’s have INRA come back with new awesome weaponry that quietly over weeks corrodes your hull”

“Let’s give the players a way to leave messages on a beacon and see what games they come up with”

“Let’s make illegal rares illegal again”

“Let’s make some rares have super value spikes at certain stations in certain states”

“Let’s make outbreak really easy to spread by trade.”

“Let’s make slavery super illegal for a month. Send ATR after anyone with slaves.”

“Let’s make route plotting a thing again and introduce jump range decay. First the guardian FSDs go then the engineering. Over a four month period, average Jump ranges reduce to 15 Ly. Isolating communities and individuals. Making traversing the arms difficult.”

“Thargoids attacks on Engineers”

“Collapse and removal of a PowerPlay faction”

“Let’s have a sniff through the suggestions forum, maybe even make a few posts”

“Let’s have another look at CMDR ToCoSo’s portfolio on imgur.”

“Let’s go make a bunch of posts on the PvP sub forum”

“Lets devalue Void Opals for a month”

Are you sure? I heard there was queue behind the powerplay and multicrew folks anyway so its not going to be in this generation.

I think exploration will continue to develop, it won't be a rewriting. Now they have got it where it is, adding more stuff for exploration hopefully won't be too hard. I will be surprised of stuff isn't added in the updates leading up to the next big expansion.

Pain and misery i meant as the bonus series for crime and punishment. The names are on topic, see!

Yeah, well something needs to be done with C&P. I have no idea what they were thinking when they applied bounties to ships. Bizarre idea.

Honestly, I do not have any hopes for this Lavecon regarding new info about 2020 Q4 Update (New Era).
The information flow might start around the end of this year, or at the beginning of next year but I expecting the full scale announcement and demonstration around next summer (E3 2020 or Lavecon 2020)

However, during Lavecon 2019, FD could share some information about next minor update. We've been told that those updates will be out every 3-4 month, so it is about time for a new one.

Hibernation is a state of inactivity, and with no news of upcoming minor updates, no community goals, no interstellar initiatives and no news on 2020, I think the description fits.

Minor updates are arriving in 3-4 month increments. Previous one was in April (and announced two weeks prior to its launch), so next will be July/August and we'll probably hear about it two weeks before its launch.

Next Interstellar Initiative (with appropriate CGs) is in July.

New Era is in development for the second half of 2020, giving it a 2yr+ production time. Rumours/leaks suggest that it will include Space Legs, Base Building, FPS combat.

All we know are vague dates, interesting content we're not to be trusted with.

I'm ready for the update, it can't make the game any worse :)

Yes, it can ;)

As has become the norm I look forward to the QoL updates and bug fixes though, the actual headline features (if the rumours StuartGT refers to are to be believed) not so much. But on the bright side atmospheric landings are still to come, and the servers should be left on for a least a few more years.

The number of big problems with the game continues to grow though.
