If you cant afford it, dont pay for it, simple. Don't rubbish content you cannot afford. Thats like rubbishing someone that can afford a Porsche but only has finance for a Toyota.
Fdev have been giving us free stuff for 5 fricken years man

It's not a question of affordability - its a question of content. To stick with the theme of Cars for an analogy, our grievance would be more akin to having whacked down various stage payments on a yet to be released porsche (buying previous updates and cosmetics from the store), for whcih we had also bought a couple of sets of alloys and racing tyres for trackdays (VR headset / flight controllers) only to discover a few months before release of our much anticipated new model of porsche was going to be powered by a 0.7L 3 cylinder engine from a smart car.

For those who want to walk around the ship, what is the proposed gameplay purpose of this? Other than "it sounds cool".

in addition to just being cool. i can think of a few ways for ship interiors to be made usefull and have gameplay features. one way is having an armory room where you go to equip yourself with weapon loadouts and armor, picking up grenades or whatever will be there for us to play with in combat, before heading out of the ship. that sort of thing.

another good use to ship interiors, is player transport. yes, transporting other players or npcs in your ship physically, having a lounge area where they sit, while you take them in a ride through the galaxy :D

and many other ways in wich they can be made fun and exiting.

But Apple computer owners could still play the game by using bootstrap to run a dual-boot into windows and run Elite that way, ergo their hardware wasn't locked out.

Bootstrap Bill?

I do indeed use BootCamp to reboot into Windows if I want to play ED, but I have to say the urge to reboot when there are other enjoyable games available without rebooting isn't that great.

I think the analogy is more akin to you having gone and bought a set of alloys and racing tyres and finding out they won't fit on the new model of Porche.
You now have the dilemma of keeping your current Porsche and using your tyres or buying a new Porshe and not using your tyres, but possibly still being able to switch back to your old Porshe with the racing slicks on it.

But its a game, not a long term contract to have the same features. If you build your PC around one game then thats on you, not the developer surely?

While I disagree with your proposed analogy, it is far closer to the mark than Dark_Wheel's aspersion that VR players were up in arms because we could only afford a Toyota when we really wanted a porsche.

Off the VR topic but still on thread topic....

Do you folks think we will be getting new/other classic ships? I would like to see some more SRVs and SLFs as well. Maybe a water craft or something. I wonder what the weapons will be like. The video made me think of mass effect, which i loved btw. Im looking forward to this update.

Also im sure there will be some stuff to complement the soon to be newly added FCs. What are some thing the rest of you fine folk are hoping to see? aside from VR support for Odyssey down the road hopefully

Dude, you've been about the game long enough to have seen every quote/statement/interview with David Braben, so I won't clutter this post with quotes/videos etc... But given your long involvement with the game, how can you not see that VR has been touted as a core feature of the game since they baked it into alpha release in December 2013.
