since i haven't found a topic about it, could someone plz explain what this "wings" is supposed to be?

Enhancements to make playing with friends easier. FSD drive slaving is off the list to keep each pilot flying, but things like shared bounties, ignoring friendly fire (to an extent... of course), better code to ensure wings members stay in the same instance, mission types for wings specifically, freighter being able to pay a fighter escort, that sort of thing.
 
Hi Michael,

keep up the fantastic work. It is really a pleasure to play this game since Alpha. Always good to hear that you and your team are back from holidays and develop cool stuff for all of us. :)
 
Am I missing something...this seems like the exact same thing.. We have no dates... We will be updating and adding features..ooooold news. Ahh Mac will come.. Sometime.. Again old news..

I want to see. We wil update x times a month.. Roll out content features every x months. We have these x features in development...

Wings.. Old news

Give us actual info.. Not some politician like non answer

Very very nice! I would love to see more content and variety. And also some "coop" kinda missions...imagine if for example we can get one of those trading missions but instead of one ship carrying the cargo you can use multiple ships (friends) to get that cargo to other system/station.

Also as someone from the Spanish community it would be cool to see the UI and mission dialogue in our beloved language. We are a lot that play Elite and more will be coming if Spanish will also be included in the language (as also other languages from EU). Translate just the text, I love the English voices though. ;)

Just keep working guys. Love the game and want to see more!
 
An announcement telling us you will be making an announcement is not an announcement.

Well, it was announcement saying Michael/FD will post *regular* (keywords here) what's coming. As long as Michael specifies how frequent these updates are, that's more than we have now.
 
It will be interesting will Mac clients play with everyone else during beta.

Why wouldn't they? Would make zero sense to have a separate galaxy just for the mac client or the beta, it's the client they are testing after all not the galaxy. Hopefully we'll have multiple commander slots in place by this time too.

Can't come soon enough as is getting annoying having to bootcamp windows and not be able to flip to do work without rebooting or using a non-bootcamped machine.
 
Hi everyone,

Our first commitment is supporting the game with regular updates. This won’t just be the fixes and tweaking we’ve provided since release but will also add new features and content. Examples of this are Wings and associated multiplayer features, as well as the additional ships mentioned in recent newsletters. We’re proud of the fantastic game that we released before Christmas but intend to keep growing and developing it. To make this happen we’re expanding the team working on the game so that we can maintain a regular schedule of updates as well as working on paid expansions.

Michael

Yeees!!!! Fantastic, i enjoying ED a lot, but want more multiplayer content, pvp and pve as well. That is why i'm exited about the coming update. ED universe is great, but need to fill it with content. I'm sure with time it will happen, keep up the good work and thanks for the team, bringing to us ED. :)


ps.: One day i would love to jump in to wormholes, explore far away star systems and many natural wonders at the other side of Milky way Unlocking ancient history of the universe as well in a shiny exploration vessel with cloak capability. Well, it's just a dream, but i continue support the game and sorry for my bad english.

Yes, you are missing 'something.' He said they are working on finalizing their timelines and other details. As soon as they have nailed down details that can be shared, they will. This is only Day 4 since their return from the holiday break, so they are still working on all of that. It is just very welcome to be hearing from Michael regularly (every day so far) that they aren't ignoring us (which only the really obstinate among us have been suggesting) and are working to give us more reliable, concrete specifics for us as soon as they can.
 
Don't know about you people, but I'm mostly satisfied. Shortly after a rather... long period of virtual radio silence and uncertainty - a real update and a formal statement.
 
Yay! Running with friends (Wings) and more people to run in wings with (Mac version in the works) are very good things!

Thanks for the update, Michael :)
 
Fantastic news!

Just to further clarify, by beta access, you mean people with BOTH beta access AND prepaid expansion passes, right? Otherwise you might end up in the odd situation of people having beta access and then their access getting revoked upon final release if they don't buy the expansion.
