Yes, supercruise hunting!! I'm liking the sound of that.

I hope you're wrong...
They said XBOX ONE version will not compromise PC's developments/releases. And we didn't get a single feature since more than a month.

And i m a little septic about utility in this case, because, target asteroid, launch drone and waiting for the data will certainly be longest than shoot it and select for insta scan a chrunk... And, with the traditional method, i don't need to use a slot and carry drones...
With Microsoft doing the testing of the Xbox version, the only compromises are going to be bug fixes that may well end up being fixes in the PC version, and the money paid by MS will more than offset development time in the long run.
What? ..Five?..

Bah! I hate this game for no particular reason!
<shakes fist>
Maybe you can fire off 5 or 6 one after the other, without waiting for a result? That would then make then useful.
This all sounds good to me! Only one question. If we were to fire a collecting drone and there was nothing to collect, what happens to the drone? Do we lose it, or can we then retrieve it?
USS are very on/off, they are not there one minute and then they are the next. I would keep the mechanism but blend them into the super cruise environment more by making them start as unresolved scanner blips, that resolve into a wider range of described SC points of interest; as well as the existing USS varieties, things like Lone Asteroid, Dust Cloud, Minor Debris, Plasma Field, Expended Ordnance. Most of these would be neutral in game terms, with no value or mission relevance.
I think you misunderstand. I mean that Mac Beta won't hold up 1.3 because FD have already stated publicly that all platforms won't be version synced at all times. Meaning release dates for major updates will be staggered to allow FD to manage the workload. PC is only currently released version, so 1.3 should roll to it first, then to Mac. Xbox version is further down the line and will include all 1.3 updates when it comes out- maybe 1.4 as well, depending on how far along they get with the port in the next couple months.
Would be great if we got each individual new feature as it was done but that would have a cost for FD in managing the builds and rollouts and perhaps a bit much for the team during Mac Beta with a lot of builds and updates being pushed.
Thanks for the update, Michael. I'm really, really looking forward to the 1.3 release.
I do have one question though. Way back when the first major update was announced you said there may be options for those who didn't have beta access to be able to get it later. Is there any more news on this?

6! But still only two in a row.
Who knows, maybe Planetary Landings will be the "new way to interact with the galaxy"?!

Looks like I might give mining another go
I think it was only talking about consoles. MAC were not included.
But 1.3 may be a special case as the mac version is still quite new.

Well, once released PC and mac will be synched, since they play together, while the xbox players will be on their own.
Patch 1.2 was named wings, because of the 'wings' feature.
Patch 1.3 is named 'Power Play', because of the 'Power Play' feature/upgrade/thingy.
So, it seems rather premature to suggest that 1.3 is underwhelming, without knowing what the powerplay feature is...
What is the reason that people are rushing to hear about a steam key? Can't they play the game or something without one?
