Cut the ties to the old generation of consoles. Until current players get the same graphics as alpha players did (just as an easy target, better is better) its still suboptimal that a downgrade occurred (and still does eg look at type 10). The only thing that would benefit from a downgrade is old consoles.

They’ve made the big change in ‘attitude’ I wanted to see. Dumping Seasons for a combined run. Just gotta wait and see now if the new attitude is on the up
The PC minimum spec would need to be substantially raised to even surpass the current consoles.

As a customer i didn't have a problem with seasons.. im not sure how the sliders work but given how much i play elite, i would probably prefer to pay them and get something premium rather than do something that frontier find cruisy internally and have it for free...... oh wait that's exactly what they did.. jwe + planet zoo. It all makes sense now.
To your wish then, hopefully they include a full seasons worth of gameplay out of the box.... or are promises to finish space legs for free over the next 2 years good enough?
That's okay. Im running on a 10603gb at 2560x1600 + reshade at the moment.. theres still some in the tank there with that non enthusiast anymore setup.
Oh, I don't make fun of Star Citizen, just the people that bought into it with thousand dollar limited ships and the like. Imagine if the Cobra Mk IV was a thousand dollar exclusive.ikr. There is one take from this... No more making fun of Star Citizen for it's issues, since we have ours.
Cheers.

New code, even new baseline code doesn't necessitate a new game, and hardware demands and graphics rendering should be scalable. That's what settings are for. I don't care if people feel bad if they can't run the game on ultra regardless of the platform as long as the ultra actually is ultra and the game isn't poorly optimized.
Distant world terrain rendering did take a hit as well (I've got the 16K pics), but this was even after Horizons.

The question is whether we will keep our stats and cr after the big update or are we going to start from scratch ?
Read between the lines. It clearly says Ironman mode will replace Solo...

Good news then. One of the reasons I solo is because there is no ironman/hardcore mode. The game is way too forgiving to the point where people casually throw ships away for "fun."
So if I have read this correctly, a game is paid for, that has bugs and not working as intended, the bugs will be fixed when an "expansion is released" and further payment is required to fix the bugs that were not supposed to be there in the first place.
This new expansion will have bugs, are payments going to be needed to pay to fix those aswell...

It seem you may not have read it correctly :/
Given past paid updates added core updates for free Occam’s Razor kinda suggests a similar affair this time. Guess we’ll see. (Presumably the core game will have to function in the new code branch. Seems unlikely they’d tranche off the bug fix aspects...)
On a serious note, only the deep space explorers have it a little rough in terms of game mechanics, since they can have months worth of data in a single pop. I guess that's why some people find it fun to troll them.Ok, but Open is getting replaced by Battle Royal Mode, so don’t get too cocky
That's getting a bit off topic here though.

Thought I may have, thanks for the confirmation.
I will say though, I love the game and will gladly pay for the 2020 update/expansion
Did you miss the recent announcement?

A picture is worth a thousand words.No i didn't, way too many words without any pictures.....
I wonder if FDev will consider doing news announcements in comic format to inform those with reading-attention issues.
The bugs will have legs and you will be able to shoot them
You’re right, but there’s a more objective way of looking at the situation.. to justify spending resources to do any keystrokes of work on something there needs to be a reason, and for larger rework tasks, the opportunities for justification come when there’s new money coming in. It’s quite rational and it wouldn’t be common sense to do it otherwise.
It’s so surprise that the code may or may not be in a well engineered state... you can assume what you want there. But the work to fix it does need a valid business case to do it, and I don’t think it’s right to knock frontier for playing in those rules. As much as I like knocking frontier for everything else’s they’re substandard on
Or like he said, “you can’t blame people for their mistakes, but do ask that they pay for them.”
