Question for Micheal. ( I have posted this in the main forum but it got quickly drowned).

Will we ever see Interdictions by multiple AI ships at the same time?

thanks

For the whole planetary landings with biosphares and NPCs... two years minimum. It's as big a project as the core game and thr simulated galaxy!

Yeah for the whole lot I could see 2 years, but I was thinking the first stage of being able to land on star ports on the planet's surface ;)

probably landing on airles rockky moons and worlds at ground stations first i expect maybe some surface roaming and mining on those?
 
Hi everyone,
The first planned significant update will be 1.1 and will enter beta in the first week of February. We’ll be talking next week about how 1.1 will introduce a new way to collaborate with other players in the galaxy in preparation for 1.2’s major Wings update. We have some some good news for planners of long journeys - V1.1 will also have a significant increase in the maximum distance for the route planner. We’re currently looking at extending this to 1,000 light years!

This is beyond the range of any ship. Currently, if the planned route is beyond range of current fuel, the map shows a dashed line, since it's not guaranteed the last reachable star will be suitable for scooping, not to mention that not everyone have fuel scoops, the route planner should always calculate the last jump before going out of fuel to end on a system with refueling facilities (oupost or station).
 
Once again "OPTION"
dont wanna buy into beta..then wait...both "options" are luvly.

I agree. I am not really interested in beta testing. Its just that people usually pay me to beta test their products. I find the idea that a company is going to ask me to pay them for the "option" of testing their product to be rather amusing....
 
Dont know if it has been asked, but, will betatesters get a separate commander to test everything? i dont wanna use my real commander in an environment that is potentially unstable.
 
can we not fix the old errors before talking about expansions I was 180 k down from a trade bug(cargo paid for but none received) raised a ticket not a bloody peep from the devs shocking since there running cash competitions might be construed that someone is tampering with the servers . I might have to go public with my concerns

Hi Micheal,great to see all the updates,

but I recently read a post by yourself (I might be wrong). Where you stated roughly that you where working hard on get missions to a level where they work as intended.(parafrasing, hope i got it right.

Now I was wondering if you where referring to some of the bugfixes we see in missions. Or adding, changing an improving mission content and diversity. I cannot imagine the federal and empire naval progression really match the vision.( the dead ends therein come to mind)

As a solo old school.player, wings don't really excited me, but I'm desperate to learn how the universe and my place in it as cmdr, will evolve, and offer meaningful progression.,

Cheers and keep up the good work.

Lucky you. Still at least it amused you, so you got something from it.

The new testing will be separate from your current game, Michael didn't answer/see my question of if it would be a separate launcher or login

Michael said it won't affect your current game so basically yes.

Well, your reaction indicates that it is good business practice, as everyone without beta access wants to get their hands on beta content ASAP. Fact that someone pays you for testing their very marginally known software is just situation in reverse - they want you to do something, while in this case you want FD to give beta access to you.

It is all about scarcity of resources.

They are working on bug fixes too. It has been mentioned many times.

As far as I know Michael said that it is very possible it will be separate download and launcher, just to keep stable/retail universe away from potential bugs.
 
Great news keep up with the updates loving this game. I do worry that most people are treating it like a normal 20hr game. Make money as fast as you can blah blah. I have been playing since Beta and I am only worth 14Mil but im happy (wife is not)

Did I write it? ;-) I feel the same way.
I have been playing since beta too...
I am only worth 14Mil as you... ;-)
I love the game too... :)
I dont understand the grind either.

FD keep up the great work! Many of us are patient...

I'm sorry...... Did you really just say that you want us to pay in order to be able to test your game for you?

Really?!

Did you really didn't see the part where he say it's optional and the next week the beta start everybody will get the update?
