Thank you FD! I'm very excited about your new DLC as I've been with you since the first Beta, which I played with an Oculus DK2! Please don't leave your VR fan base behind.

Can't believe I signed it! I did though.
You never know...

not VR compatible??? You can't be serious!
I am playing Elite Dangerous since the first Betas and I started VR because of this game only. Being forced to go back to a 2D desktop screen will be the end of Elite Dangerous for me. This is a bigger disappointment than no new content at all!

Could not agree more. I hear so many (non VR) people predict that VR players are just talking nonsense saying they won't buy this. Trust me: we're deadly serious,. We are not interested in a 2d spinoff of what we perceive is Elite. Plus, if Odyssey does not go VR, then Horizons will become abandonware.. No bugs solved .. ever. All attention will go to Odyssey development
Thanks, but at ~1 million copies sold and knocking MS Flight Sim off the Amazon.com best seller list for six weeks, I'm happy in my production skills.....VU3 awaits....
Im really fighting with myself right now. Should i buy the DLC and have the new content or should i wait untill its VR supported in a playable way (the, as soon as you walk your VR-Headset turns into a monitor stuck on your face, variant would be ok for me as long as i still have full VR expirience while flying). I really like Elite but after playing it in VR i really dont see why i should go back.
I just hope they reconsider their decision and add VR support on their high priority list after bug fixing.

You're joking right?
You want to pay money... just in case VR gets added later??
[Insert twitchy eye meme]
Wouldn't you rather wait and pay later?
As you know, FD are not a moral company anymore, they're not scumbags but they're controlled by their shareholders, where money talks. If you wish to spend money and want software you might never use, would you consider Humble Bundle?
Huh, well, I have this certain bridge...
I don't think morality comes into it - I think Frontier have become GM, defending a position in a culture of fear. They're certainly no Tesla, even if they started off that way...In hindsight I find it ironic DB had the gall to post his congrats to Elon for putting Doug and Bob into orbit in light of that.....what happened David?
What if it were on Epic? < insert overused Twitch.tv laughing emote>
I had thought that court case was effectively a countersuit to the one where Bell started suing Braben over the "expansion disk" / "sequel" dispute from the interview. I seem to have been wrong.

You are the customer so it's your choice and not for anyone else to decide.for you... But if you buy it just know you are essentially doing exactly what FD hope. The ONLY trump card we have in this mess is to vote with your wallet. I can't , I already paid but if not there is no chance I would be preordering this.....
I have backed / EAed a few games in the last few years precisely due to VR in the hope they see a spike related to VR. I have not ever played some of them eg asset to Corsa 2 and pCARS 2 and dirt rally

I think we are all voting with our wallets. We can all just say what we would pay for at this stage and that is going to be up to each and everyone to decide for themselves. Personally, I will have to evaluate exactly what is being implemented and then make a decision, but if there is absolutely no playability in VR, I will not buy it as it simply would not appeal to me. Anything between there and full VR implementation and I would have to carefully evaluate if it was worth it for me to pay and/or to buy cosmetics through ARX. If there is no VR implementation and Odessey offers significant advantages in current gameplay, I would likely stop playing even Horizons and the base game, which definitely would mean no money to Frontier from my wallet.
Nope, all of it will not be comparable with VR at least at launch as revealed at this time
That's what I thought, if the engine doesn't support it VR users are stuffed. Who wrote the engine, FD?
Dear Devs,
I know you have said no base building, but here is an idea for you - not tied to to the core game, but create a base / settlement builder game, using fixed resources that players can build and run settlements with.
Then you can get people to design and build original settlements, that you can put as more unique locations in game. Whats more you could possibly sell it, and generate revenue at the same time.
This could be used just to create the structures that you use, but also to populate them with personalities and characters, if you were feeling really adventurous, it could have its own tie in to BGS so that people could be running them in the game world, with ones that are ignored falling in to ruin or being taken over by automation.
Just a thought
