I hazard a guess as to say it will be in U19 (or earlier maybe?) given they are chatting about it tonight.
Another disappointment

The Thargoid content has kept the game alive through troubling times in the industry. If you don't like it, don't get involved with it. If you've done everything else possible in the game as it is now, you're the first to actually beat this unbeatable game.
Some people should try looking at the big picture for once. Their own tiny bubble of reality is meaningless in the grand scheme.

Really hoping the Python Mk2 is an AX-specific variant, oh to see the reactions 
And didn't take anything away from the game - unless one was emotionally involved with a bunch of random systems, of course...
It's also why I think onfoot VR is going to be a way off unless it's bankrolled by a third party. The best aspect of VR in Elite is definitely going to be the cockpit; the ship gives you space, the SRV gives you the ground. I'm not saying that onfoot wouldn't be good or desired, at the least by me, but unless we accept limited onfoot interaction that effectively is a camera suite type thing with the HUD and controller/HOTAS/keyboard only controls the movie projection screen inside the headset is going to be it for quite a while. The only thing I would ask of Frontier in relation to that is to create a more immersive depiction of it rather than a screen just hanging in a grey void.
Python Mk2 for use only within maelstroms - takes inverse corrosive damage whenever it's not in a corrosive environment.Really hoping the Python Mk2 is an AX-specific variant, oh to see the reactions
I think this will be the way, some form of Geforce streaming from a main PC to a something that could be mistaken for a pair of swimming goggles.
This sums up VR very nicely in pretty much all scenarios.
Cheese, Chocolate, Chips*, CH3CH2OH. ie all the important food groups.

I know he is almost alone but let @Rubbernuke have is moment of glory, they can compensate the rest of us with new ships any time in the next 10 months.
Not really - even with a long multi-jump delivery mission:
- most of the intervening systems are irrelevant because you're there long enough to scoop and move on, and that's if you haven't got enough fuel to cross the bubble in one go already (that's why you need to drop in far from the star, and that's why pre-population of new supercruise instances is needed) - if someone does interdict you at an intermediate then submit-high wake solves the problem
- if there was any significant distinction in in-system danger you could just skip the intermediate dangerous ones with a route filter (which is why restriction to ~10LY is needed)
- you can just beat the interdictions anyway in most ships, or submit/boost/low-wake in the rest, and not need to worry too much. Chain interdictions in that scenario only happen to "pirate approved 0.06" supercruise approaches. (which is again, pre-population and much harsher interdiction rules)
- and of course there's generally nothing stopping you using a Fleet Carrier to just teleport right next to the destination station - the payout needed to make a long range delivery mission economically sensible for a non-FC owner will more than cover the fuel costs for a FC owner. (which is unfixable so long as FCs can move)
At the moment a 200 LY delivery mission and a 20 LY delivery mission have basically the same difficulty, it's just that the longer one involves pressing the hyperspace key a few more times.
Or those with the penchant to disrupt for their own reasons.Never underestimate the power of making your own hype a reality.
That'd be fine by me. That'd be a ship I don't need to engineer.Really hoping the Python Mk2 is an AX-specific variant, oh to see the reactions

The big picture is only known by Frontier, as consumers we can't know the big picture. I'll stick to if a service provider wants me to pay for something, they have to provide a service I want
If it wasn't for the thargoid content we would have had fixes for power play and new ships sooner than now and that may well have been better for the in game experience for all ??
One side or t'other I'm afraid.
I always thought the war was an easy sell and I don't think then it was particularly popular within the player groups ?
And Fdev had to resort to a "the bubble will burn " message. And a load of goalpost changes ??
Just putting other things out there for those stuck in one particular bubble of game reality or another ?? ,
That's a very fair point. For a company that has to be a very difficult thing to deal with though. I would hope that Frontier would not have to have disclaimers on every press release stating "The decision to not include ship interiors in the Odyssey expansion has been made by Frontier, is final, and will not be reviewed or changed under any circumstances." But I think it's also unfortunately one of the reasons why soda bottles have instructions that tell people to "twist cap while pointed away from face". Then of course you get some
I'm less convinced of this one though. While I'll concede it is not incorrect, but more in a plausible deniability type of way, I think the room for it be used as a means by, let's say, unfriendly actors to interfere and negatively influence is far more substantial, given the correct conditions.
More ships are on the way how do people manage to not listen?

It was indeed a nice update that added an ability to finally take the fight to the thargoids.
On top of that the GFX package was also updated and new missions added.
So yea, quite a solid update that paves the way.
