The title says it all, usually we have a pretty good idea of what is coming but here, all we have are little snippets we got from conferences. Is the beta even going to arrive on time??
beta 2.4 why are they still not talking about quality of life improvements?
- Thread starter CMDRvenerian
- Start date
Are we there yet? No.
Are we there yet? No!
Are we there yet? No!
Are we there yet? Nooooooooo!!!!
Why not wait until tomorrow and find out for yourself?

There will be quality of life updates in 2.4, we already know some of them as they were talked about at lave con. You can read about them here,
https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6j8smc/frontier_qa_panel_lavecon_2017_features_changes/
Basically they are
Repair limpets,
inbox ui updates
Search&Rescue Contact board
sidewider exploit eleminated
changes to Crime&Punishment:
Federation bounties
Pay-off rebuy costs and fines with other ships
I'm guessing the reason they aren't showing these off is because Ed is super busy sorting out October expo, internal builds all have thargoid activated by default, to time consuming to just turn off for Ed, and none of these are really showy off kind of features.

Ha... I was just about to post that the fix for falling skimmers is sky high on my expectations.
That too.
Not to mention the docking computer fix. That's worth the price of admission alone (assuming you use one at all).
The most interesting part of what we have seen for me is the UI element that reads:
Audio Log
Alliance reporting issues at Andro..

Well the powerplay cycle tick downtime was 07:00 GMT which makes it 9:00 CEST which should start already if I remember correctly. Unsure if GMT or BST tho.
Speaking of QoL, I just watched Lukozer's review of good old Frontier, and almost had to wipe away a tear, at seeing again how that game swaps *instantly* between screens. Viewpoints to galaxy map, though system map and orrery, services,etc; ...and nowhere a loading / server access pause in sight.
Finally the saltiness is increasing, thank you forums, you never fail to deliver
Nah,it's just two pages, that's hardly "delivering".Finally the saltiness is increasing, thank you forums, you never fail to deliver
Expect a tidal wave of salt when patch notes of absolutely nothing drop

It will be as always. The first wave will say how much they love 2.4. The second wave will complain about all the bugs. The third wave will offer constructive criticism. And the fourth wave will hear about 2.4 on a random gaming website, visit the forum for the first time since 4 months, realise that they still didn't...
...added real cash economy...
...made the game pay to win...
...removed Solo...
...removed Open...
...un-nerfed the Python...
...added Offline mode...
...added in system jumps...
...3rd person camera...
...Thargoids...
...Cockpit Cats (that'll be me)...
...Spacelegs...
...atmospheric landings...
...more SRV types...
...etc...
...and say that the update is utterly broken, Horizons was a ripp-off and the game will be dead in a few weeks. They'll continue to argue and rant for the next seven days and leave the forum again. It's beautiful!
Maybe they don't have much to talk about at all.
Maybe they have some great surprises coming and want to make a big bang.
We'll know in a few hours, no need to stress out about it now.
How about cockpit dogs? (I like them both, although I have a soft spot for dogs - wonderful creatures).
