August Dev Diary, your hopes and expectations
- Thread starter Andro
- Start date
I have a feeling that the first (probably around the end of the month) may just be 'backgrounding' the expansion... hopefully the subsequent issues will dive in and let us all know what to expect in the final product 
I would like to know if there will be fauna, flora, lakes, rivers and some animals.
If they could also give some concepts art.

I'm hoping each one is just an announcement of the next one coming.
I'm prepared to bet it's described as "exciting"; which is about as insightful as when I describe the food presented to me as "interesting".
Then again, I've always been better fed than mannered.

I have virtually no expectations, but I am interested in what Frontier claim is going to be coming.
I know there won't be but I can't prevent to hope.
I hope for much smaller things - like them not spoiling exploration any further
My hopes? That they'll at least confirm ship interiors.
My expectations? They'll only talk about planet side on-foot gameplay, and might show off a gun. Or two.

I hope the product will be good I have no expectations.
If I can't walk around in my own ships, or stations, I am not sure I will really much care what else is in this paid DLC. It would have to be something pretty great to overcome my disappointment enough that those things are not going to be in the DLC to spend money on it.
In any case, I expect a relatively generic shooter, (most shooters are pretty generic these days so it's not really a dig.), using the games current mission system, landable worlds with barely there atmospheres, lots of new cosmetics, and little more. Anything more than that will be an unexpected surprise.

Really hope this isn't the case. Ground combat as it stands now is one of the low points of the game for me. Can be fun at times, but hopefully not the complete focus of the expansion.

I would be interested them to wheel out the 2017 concept art of the iceplanets for beyond and see how close they got to those in the actual game.I would like to know if there will be fauna, flora, lakes, rivers and some animals.
If they could also give some concepts art.
Low on both counts ?
My hopes: Look at the latest video DevDiaries for Crusader Kings III. That would be a dream come true for Elite.
My expectations: Not that high. Just some very general info about the expansion itself, maybe some concept art for good measure. Plenty of "We're excited to share more with you, when we feel ready to talk about it"
I'm still waiting eagerly for the first Dev Diary, though
