I suspect #3 and #4 will be in later updates of Horizons.

Who's to say you won't be able to carry another ship inside it - like a Type 9?
Maybe not quite a Type 9
It looks like a duct tape.

I'm becoming further impressed by those at FD in how you are addressing the community. Things do appear to be getting better and better. The improved way in which you guys are connecting with us all, including all the juicy details, streams and so on are very welcome. Cred where its due.. keep it up and hope to see things go to the next level.
This is a big turn around in the last 12 months We asked for things to improve and so they have. o7

Linux has compute shader support (OpenGL 4.3)
I wonder how hard it would be to port the OSX version to Linux (they're both UNIX based and POSIX compliant)...
Of course it's the effort vs reward calculation that decides these things, and supporting another platform is a lot of effort. Maybe if SteamOS really takes off?
Good points.
A question for the devs for which I don't expect an answer (understandably):
How about a modern OpenGL implementation of ED? Could be a solution to the DX driver overhead issues in supercruise and give mac owners a way of running the new season (free linux OS as dual boot).

Thanks Cosmos, the kind words are really appreciated. We really do have the most awesome community and everyone from the developers to the community team are genuinely enjoy sharing their work and getting involved with everyone. More good stuff to come.
I'd just like to say from a very happy Xbox player THANK YOU I know there's been a few issues but for me the roll out and recent CG were fantastic.....that being said......WE WANT SKINS WE WANT SKINS WE WANT SKINS WE WANT SKINS
It is a shame about the Mac support, but we already knew about this and no one should cry fowl, it seems like the implementation was developed with the thought of simply transferring to compute shader capable OpenGL... which turned out to be a no-go for macs without Apple doing something about their lacking OpenGL support.
Cool details, it does however mean that I will likely have to update my GPU... probably just get a new PC (current one is 6 years old) and the GPU is at DX10.1 and shader model 4... so... guess its DX11 and shader version 5... *snaps fingers - dang it* might just have to dual boot my macbook pro... the 750m in it, though underpowered, does support DX11
Yay cant wait still

Thanks for the kind words.
We're HOPING to have them by the end of the year. No promises but it's on the list.
I LOVED the recent CG. I think it was the Galnet article that was so good. The Assault course Soufflé making. Well done to Ian the writer. *Claps*

I've been trying to think of a single game I have followed which has had such great communication with its players and cannot think of a single one, even better is the fact that work in progress is taken as just that, work in progress, back in the day when I was a dedicated follower of IL2 WiP stuff was torn to shreds regardless of how many times it was stated to not be final and I am continually amazed at how little that happens here, keep up the good work, it's extremely refreshing to be treated as a valued customer rather than a source of income

You know a cynical person would suggest that is because they have a new product to sell. Thankfully, even I am not that cynical and yes the amount of openness from FD recently has been fantastic.
A valid question, though I would be very surprised if it didn't.
Think i I can hold on till Xmas though I've just read a thread where a players killed Santa so no point asking him for cool new skin this year..sob..
Quick side note is the new imperial CG open to boxers too?
Nope! Just the ones that will be coming by the end of 1.5.
