Probably not a great boast when 99% of them are bug fixes. :p

To be fair, what Elite needs the most right now is a REASON to play, a metagame. And the changelog sounds like they've been focusing mostly on exactly that.

Still downloading, so we'll see how good things turned out!
 
Hells bells.. it gets to about 97% and...

Factions?

So, I'm excited to see all of the "factions" updates... but when do we GET factions? We still can't add ourselves to a faction and it's still unclear how those will work.
 
Am I not correct in saying they absolutely wouldn't be wiping from Gamma to full release? That's certainly what they sold to the beta-testers a few weeks ago when the official release date was announced.

You are ALMOST correct. The word from Michael has consistently been that they would try not to need a wipe at the end of Gamma and would only do it if they discovered a reason that they had to. Yesterday he alerted us to the fact that they may, indeed, have discovered such a reason. It is not definite yet, by any means, but since it has got significantly more likely he warned us about it. He also said he'd let us know as soon as it became definite either way.

Agreed. A real man can't live off hors d'oeuvres.
We need some meat and potatoes, we're starving hungry for some content.

I really hope they can get the dynamic persistent universe and interactive NPCs aspect right.
 
So is the "capsule" gone, or is it just much bigger? I won't have a chance to fire it up till later. Is there a thread with screenies of the new stuff?
 
"- Permits needed to access systems within excluded regions or specific systems requireing permits (like Sol)"

I can somehow see why you would add that. But what exactly would prevent us from flying there? Is this in any way logical or just gameplay stuff we have to accept and is not explained further?
 
Amazing news that cannisters can now be dropped for other players to pick up - been worried about this! Good work, look forward to seeing the next list!
