Devs deserve some love right now !

I've been playing this game since Gamma & Frontier still keep inventing ways to keep me engaged. Well Done :)

Great job FD, you guys killed it! Can't wait, jumping on tonight to grind out some more cash for my future Chieftain.
 
Apparently this is the small update! :D

Well, of the two big one. Of the four, this is the second largest. Which is fine by me, dont get me wrong. For Q2 and Q3 I am mostly expecting things like more ships, mission templates and smaller qol. Q4 will be a big one, and combined with the announcement of the next paid-for DLC. :)

I do'nt think the planets will be that different on the ground from what we have now except for colors. They still have a big planet and light system update planned for Q4, I think that's were we'll see real differences.

Which is all the more reason I don't understand why they didn't just find a quick base to land on the planet..again I don't even care about that. I just wanted to learn a bit more behind the tech. What they did to change things, just how will surfaces reflect the underlying materials, etc.

I guess that's the wait and see aspect .. the exploration, DIY planetary science, stays a bit more unspoilered.

In the end they did cram in, a lot to the stream I reckon .. Tech Agents?! Fwap!

You'll be able to do it next Thursday yourself (if you're on PC), no not really the end of the world :)

When you have so much new stuff to show, why show stuff that didnt change?

They said that the tech was highly based on the composition of each planet, and their type aswell.
And I would assume they will go deeper into the technical stuff in one of the next Discovery Scanner stream
 
What I found fairly irritating and also somewhat worrying is that they didn't show a single close-up from the new surfaces. Are they not ready yet, or are they not as good as the orbiter views suggest, or did they change at all and will just be changed in Q4? I see no reason why they wouldn't want to show us what in my book is the absolute selling point of the whole update!

Apart from the color, I dont expect any change at all. The surface shaders/rock stuff is coming in Q4.
 
It's the smaller of the two big updates. The two in the middle are much smaller. But if mining and exploration gets as big an update as trading has, I think I will be a happy bunny.

They also said that there will be some Premium content ( behind paywall) they have yet to reveal for this year...

Could be a really good year for the game.

Yes I'll be able to see it myself but that doesn't mean I'll understand the underlying mechanics to what I see. The juicy stuff that's what I'm interested in. which is why I want another deep dive video on planets. Yes I'll be able to discover things myself but nothing beats they guys creating the things telling me what's going on. But, hey only a week away again if I was interested in the other stuff I would have been amazed because FD doblooonto be putting some good effort into it all
 
Thank you SO much Frontier for your hard work on this update! It looks ridiculously fantastic so far and I can’t wait for the beta! Shine on crazy nerds!
