ANNOUNCEMENT April Update - Coming 23 April 2019

[GreyAreaUK]

Questions - are the beginner systems current systems that have been marked off for beginners, or have you created new planets for beginners? What's the lore / mechanic that prevents Elite pilots from entering these systems?

Standard permit-lock I'd assume.

Same as the lore that stops you entering shinrata until Elite I suppose

Looks interesting is there any reason why all of this has had to be super top secret for 5 weeks?

Question: all the announcements that companies/politicians/artists/scientists/websites/individuals will make in 5 weeks time ... should they be making them now?

 

[Ozric]

Thanks for the update Will. I like the sound of virtually all of that, really looking forward to seeing it.

However... We have an issue...

It is not the loop of shame!!! Even if you approach a planet at full speed and loop around it, it is faster than approaching in the blue zone!

That aside, sounding great

 

[Captin Pelley]

Will you ever fix the heat bug?

No

Question to you - should all the companies/politicians/artists/scientists/websites/individuals tell us they will make an announcement in the next few weeks then go silent for 5 weeks?

07. How will interdictions work in auto supercruise mode?

 

[GreyAreaUK]

No

Arguably 5 weeks is 'a few'.

ok thank you

 

[Will Flanagan]

I'm interested to know where these "beginner" systems are and if they're in any way accessible by pilots like me that have reached elite.

Hi cosby714,

These systems will only be accessible to those who have not reached any rank in Trading, Combat and Exploration. In your case, you won't be able to access those systems.

A bit late for April's fools isn't it?

Advanced Docking Computer... I love it.
Now many players want HUD Color's for the consoles. Hope you could implent these. Think many console players want this and want to pay for it aswell like me.

Keep up the good work.

in the same way it is soon?

Some nice new-player stuff there (and some stuff that long distance passengers/miners/explorers won't hate either). Look forward to it and my new account

I confess that was my first thought after reading about the advanced docking computer!

 

[Spaceman Si]

Is there a bug fix list, please?

 

[GreyAreaUK]

in the same way it is soon?

Some people have to find something to complain about, I guess...

 

[G_Bison]

Sweet!!!

"Elite dangerous fly spaceships - now with even less flying!!"
