Looking forward to all the good stuff coming to the game this year. Good news on the development updates and a great move on the API stuff.

Can't wait to see what the community can do with it. :) & can't wait to check out the Fer De Lance too.

little confused hear and I think some other people are to what beta? note the game is out one server are you talking about the beta mac edition?
is there a second server like in eve to test patches e.g beta patch's before the go live to server and do we have to pay for that?
as some of us that brought premium tow Alpha have been given life time access to the game does that mean I still have to for expiation witch I understand and the others that brought it understands we do not pay for expiations witch is a thank you from the ED team.
Last of all in 1.1 I hate to say I why would I want to work with others right now when the completion witch I wiped my account from to start a fresh as requested to express not to work with friends to achieve elite side note and has to be online play only
other wise elite prise will not be counted so there for would it be in your teams best interested to move the 1.1 date to match witch should give some guys and ladies the change to win before introducing new working with others in to the game.
hope you can clear this up and thanks for the hard work so far.
 
Many thanks to Michael and the team for some great news. Will the beta test login just be available for the period of the beta test or for longer? If its the latter it seems like this is a way to have a "second" commander
 
Great updates, thanks a lot!

One little question: Any ETA for ship transports from remote stations to our current location?
 
Michael, don't even bother making beta access available again. There are tens of thousands of backers already able and willing to test it, and you'll avoid the hysterical reactions seen here.

I'm inclined to agree. The tester pool should easily be big enough.
 
retail commander
Sounds like an expansion waiting to happen! I can imagine it now...

Ultimate freedom - choose your system, choose your station, choose your products, and sell sell sell! Design your storefront and layout your own way, and compete against other commanders to maximise your profits. v1.1 will see the release of the "shelf stacking" update, which will also add licensed bars to the list of possible outlets you can create!
 
Live commander gets transferred to Beta, right? But all Beta progress is not transferred to live version (I assume).

Also, do we need to wait for a full content update for the Clipper mass disruption fix?
 
Really REALLY not liking this idea. Why should we have to PAY you to HELP you? I know of no other game that does this. You limit the number of people that can test things, you divide your playerbase and not to mention, you just plain old screw your customers.

Seriously, this isn't like early access. Game is out. This is seriously, deeply concerning and makes me question supporting you and any future endeavors in the future.

Maybe because they were originally only planning to allow current beta backers, who have all paid above and beyond retail price, access to post-release betas. But after many post-release players asked, they have given you/them an upgrade OPTION.

Furthermore they don't have to do jack regardless of how entitled some people feel. It's not YOUR company so you don't get to make the decisions. Feel free to start up your own company though, maybe you could get all the other self righteous people on here to join you then you can set about making the perfect game / Product / NEW WORLD ORDER.
 
@Michael, is it possible to add the server time to the status page?
I heard a lot of people wondering what the actual time is, and i know from other MMO's that not everyone is good at the time conversion thing.
 
I'm interested to see how 'paid extensions' fit in with open play, and what actually classifies as 'paid extensions'. Will it be stuff like ships and paintjobs etc... or whole new factions?
 
Thanks for the update. One technical query for those of us with terrible connections. If i d/l the beta update will i have to re d/l the the main update when live?
 
I just hope that none of the newer patches that come out are ones we have to paid for, as the game has just been bought.

I wouldn't worry; there is a big difference between patches/updates and extra paid-for content (DLC, or whatever they call it!). I expect a game to be patched (inevitable, and often numerous times). You can't be asked to pay more to make a game work, as it should have from the start.

The day any Dev wanted payment for a patch? Blimey, cue revolution!
 
Is there any co op options incoming? Stuff like bounty hunting and assassination with friends and the bounty splits between us?Another thing is while the game is scored quite nicely it would be nice to have some sort of itunes integration or internal music player(aac support would be great)
 
Awesome !

First, sorry for my english . This is not my original language .

Wow, you're too strong for FRONTIER , the game not even a month, and you already think of paid content . You know that your game costs 50 € ? Do you also know that it is empty ?

No, because before thinking out of the paid content should think about the finish this game because there it 's worth the € 50 it is worth € 20 no more.

Besides this game advertised as Multiplayer , nor will that Mars? Are you serious? Mars? Without screwed , I bought this game for the multiplayer and I'll still have to wait until March to play with my friends?

No, but please stop the drug, I'm going to get a refund !
Another Kickstarter that fool from the jaws of the world!
 
Actually, I have found quicker routes using the Route Planner on Elite Dangerous Trader than using the FASTEST ROUTE algorithm. Bearing in mind that is an incomplete database provided by a third party, that really shouldn't be the case...!
Maybe you should stick to playing third party apps then and skip the crap game altogether.
