ED has next 2 Years of Content Mapped Out

[Jinx Chrome]

Yet hype seems to be what drives player engagements, which in turn makes products sell more and gives reasons for the developer to add more content to a game.
As for "story", I've seen some parts and reviews of Starfield which was enough to put me off. Bethesda's modern storytelling is allergic to player agency and the feature NPC characters feel just about as sentient as Elite's concourse crowds.

Also about the streaming platform stuff, you can scuff at viewer metrics for streaming platforms but that's an indicator of players taking a deeper interest in the game or looking for reasons to come back.

(Over)hype is bad, indeed because its flip side is disappointment and rage as we have seen so often here and with other games.
Having expectations and judging speculations on the light and more ironic side is much more joyful. Luckily, the majority in this forum tends to see it like that.

Nah, this never happens on the internet.

Long before the internet, this or a similar picture was on every office's and factory's wall:

Trouble with dinosaurs is that they'd look a bit odd wandering around on barren rock-planets.
For dinosaurs, you'd really need to create jungles and swamps and lakes etc.

Least, with things that slither and crawl and skitter, it's plausible that they could be living off braintrees, fumeroles or puddles of ooze etc.
Baby steps.

So little bitty tiny dinosaurs then.

To be a bit more on-topic again: According to Arf's statement 'content and release mapped out [...} passionate developers working on' it's a reassuring statement by CMDR Buur that the new content will not only be another series of ships but hopefully more (free) in-game content.

I am hoping for some paid add-on content which is optional but expands the game-play beyond what we have got momentarily. An optional 'Odyssey-Exploration' expansion would be my request. We explorers are a bit starving on content

You are preaching to the choir! Preach it!

To be fair, I grew playing MUDs. I don't need fancy graphics. I just need interesting developed mechanics that interact with the storyline... Which there is none.

If they release another paid expansion then Odyssey should be added to the base-game. For example DLC:

1. Water worlds
2. Earth-like worlds
3. Metal-rich worlds
4. EVA
5. Colony facility designer
6. Ship Interiors

It could be sold as a season pass. Graphics upgrades should be for free.
