The announcement will be for something that's six months out. I'm pretty sure nobody here has that sort of patience.
I doubt it. I expect it will be for Christmas, so less than 5 months.
I, at least, will probably have the patience. If there is not something shortly (well before Christmas) that I want, I will probably stop playing. If you are not playing, patience is much easier.
We need a countdown timer to the last second of Gamescom.
This will allow us to budget for additional meds.

So it's more Med transporting? OK, that's quite colossal.
It's Thargoids.
That's not going to happen - Braben v Bell. Thargoids is a Bell thing (humorous / off the wall). That is not Braben style.
I suspect a quaternary political layer - like PowerPlay, but even more complicated.....
Think what you will. I'm saying it's Thargoids.
Feel free to bookmark this post for when they announce them.

Absolutely. And given sales at this point there are already several more years of fun to come. The game is under constant development with multiple teams doing different stuff and when they complete an update they move on to another item.
Colossal may be hyperbole, but every new announcement expands the game and so far all for free, so it is all good for me.

Total speculation but it seems to fit with what they are doing, money wise. Release 1.0 for the Xmas season 2015 to get cash and more commanders on board. A steam release in spring 2015 for the same reason, XBox one release for the same reason. Planetary landing announcement (beta quite a bit later) and a PL release for the Xmas season 2015. It all seems to fit. Again speculation. They certainly raised the bar high (and iirc rules out FPS and thargoids) so I really expect a PL announcement (basic form, uninhabited moons etc).
Update: I meant xmas season 2015, NOT 2016, my bad.

LOL, you deserve a reputation point for the laugh!
Colossal is defined as "extremely large" or "at least twice life size". A big expansion? Something impossible that will be proven possible, like when the first Elite came out where experts thought making 3-dimensional games was impossible?
More like Elite:Mostly Harmless unless you play in open.
The only thing I really want to see is a megaserver. Something like that would fix instancing issues, combat logging, hacking and exploiting, and bring more life to a universe that's very much empty.
