Oh no, much harder to find, they will be as hidden as 'secret pirate bases'

The ones with the huge holographic flags?
I just checked on the Kickstarter page and the expansions do in fact start at £90.
Me too £130 and I am being made redundant in December. Did you get a discount?
So glad I spent that extra at the time, can't wait!!!
That's a little bit disingenuous. For the deal to be the same for both parties, new customers would have to be paying about £60-£70.
You're saying that when Horizons comes out that ED will be reduced in cost to just £10, so new customers will still be paying £30 for the expansion plus £10 for the base game. As existing customers will also be paying at the very least £30 for the expansion (if they pre-order now), ergo the deal is the same for both parties.
However existing customers have paid more than £10 for the base game, so this just isn't true.
Don't get me wrong I am over the moon at this expansions announcement. Wisely I also bought the lifetime pass back in beta. However this does just seem most unfair on customers who have bought into the game in recent months via the game's release on Steam. If I was in their shoes, I'd be feeling very annoyed right now too.

but just to confuse matters "premium" box set came with standard beta (and the season pass)
you (I) had to pay a little more to later upgrade premium box set to include premium beta too.
so with the premium box set you will get access to all the DLC but (presumably) wont get access to the premium beta test of said DLC.
(I know you know this Michael - obviously - but just incase others panic if they see your post and panic that that means no season pass)
edit.. ninja'd by the man himself!...
given ED will be a year old game by then, this is not in the realms of impossibility to be fair!.
(I would fully expect it to be down to the £15 mark in an xmas steam sale once it is 12 months old for the base game, £10 is not far below that!

For those confused about whether or not you already have Lifetime Expansions, you have them if:
If any of the above applies to you, congratulations you saved yourself lots of money by buying in early. If not you'll have to purchase expansions separately.
- You backed at the £80 pledge level or higher on the Kickstarter Campaign.
- You purchased Alpha or Premium Beta access via Frontier's store post-kickstarter.
- You purchased the Lifetime Expansion Pass via Frontier's store prior to it being withdrawn from sale on July 29th 2014.

The £80 pledge tier is titled the "Digital Download Pack" and includes any expansions:
If I preorder now will I also get access to the Mac version when it is released? The description on the store seems to imply not. I'm predominately a mac player, but would run on PC for a while to get earlier access if both platforms are included.
Does the Lifetime expansion pack include beta access?

So now all the cry babies will be shouting at FD "I couldn't finish him off because he flew down to a planet, Ban them now FD BAN THEM NOW!!"
Hello all,
I'm a normal beta backer. I purchased Elite: Dangerous back on the 9th of September 2014. I did NOT have the lifetime pass as part of that.
I just purchased the Lifetime pass and got a £10 'Discount (Loyality Discount for Horizons Lifetime Pass)' which means I paid £120 for it.
I hope this helps people clarify what you should or shouldn't be getting.
EDIT: Finally got the store working, Yay! *Double Fist Pump*

So even though I was in the standard Beta on the original game, I won't be automatically part of beta testing unless I was premium beta?
Youch - wasn't expecting that - bit of a sneaky one there as I had assumed that standard beta would include beta on the expansion pass as well.
Anyway, does the new lifetime pass at £130 include all future betas or would I still have to pay again for beta for the next season in 2017?
Well take that Chris Roberts!!
Hmmm...does that mean ALL players (i.e. Xbox/PC/Mac) even though the PR only mentions PC??

Thanks Michael, I ordered the Premium Beta, which includes the Expansions. Does that particular package include the Expansion beta's?
Hi Michael,
As a standard beta backer I don't think I will get beta access to Horizons, however I "topped" up and bought the original lifetime expansion pass so I already have Horizons bought. Is there an upgrade path available for me that would get me access to the beta without having to buy a second copy of Horizons?
