Yes, I know, just wait until they announce it etc etc. I just can’t help myself though. So with that out of the way, what in your opinion is the most likely expansion we’re going to see in 2019? I think it’s reasonable to lean towards space legs (though I am not counting on it and wouldn’t really be that disappointed if it isn’t). The reasons are as follows:
- The duradrive personal computer CG (fully aware that there have been CGs that seemed like they would go somewhere and never did)
- The commander chronicles featuring the Krait of course. Just the amount of great animations throughout and the features of the flight chair that were in concept art.
- Cancellation of fleet carriers. At least in the delusional reality I live in it seems possible that the carriers were cancelled so they could implement additional features to them, eg atmo model or interior for space legs.
- Amount of all already created content such as the great character creator, the blockout of the cargo drones and character with a weapon (see space legs wiki) and the early 3D modeling of a pilot floating in the cockpit (see Elite Dangerous Wordpress blog thing).
- Sammarco has been quoted as saying voice acting would become an increasingly important feature with update 2 when we get the ability to walk around (we’re talking Kickstarter era I think). Definitely seems like voice acting has become a priority.
- Frontier referring to the next expansion as a “new era” leads me to believe it will be one of the big/most requested features.
-Lackluster multi crew and the fact that frontier hasn’t really done much to enhance the scope of the feature (ie can’t even use SRV)
There is likely more reasons to make the assumption I have. There is surely reasons that all of this just sounds reaching to an extreme. However, speculation is fun and I haven’t seen a thread really making an effort to determine what the next expansion is an any capacity beyond the whole “Zac said steps and leg=Legs confirmed”.
So throw in your best educated guess as to what the next expansion would be and detail why.
