Yesterday - after weeks of having played little to nothing - my expectations for chapter 4 were high.
But you - FDev - overdelivered.
Luckily my son already had downloaded the updates on PS4 so when getting home from work I could login immediately.
I faced a few connection issues during the evening but aside of that ED worked very reliably. Some menu changes maybe a little bit slow/slower but I credit this with the improved features.
As console player I had no idea about the changes so I first had to figure out I needed new key bindings for the new scanning procedure. And yes - I tried without success to map the main star in my home system for 15 minutes before a team mate made me aware I couldn't map a star. Learning lesson again.
I can't tell what impresses me most.
Graphics on PS4 are way better now. Ships in combat are much more detailed and can be seen much better than before. Huge improvement. Also NPCs now attack much earlier and more aggressive. I like it.
Display of information in the menus much better structured, reasonable categorization etc..
My squadron was already there, I only had to adjust settings. All systems we are in can be seen at a glance. This alone will save me 10 to 15 minutes every day.
Mission setups look very much honed and I already faced a few nice unexpected but highly welcome surprises.
Galaxy map and system maps. Way better looking, more intuitive and more helpful.
Mining I had no time yesterday to test it out but pretty sure it will be an eye opener as well.
I face I have to learn a lot of things new, in a different way and for sure have to adapt my playstyle in some way.
But I am convinced it will encourage me to continue playing ED and helping stabilising/destabilising the human bubble.
You put us on the rack for months - but it was worth waiting.
Thank you so much!
Really a great and awesome job!
