News Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy | New Release Date and Release Schedule

The fact is that today (and until Frontier make it available to buy for credits) there is a ship that is only available to you if you pay ARX. I don't like this change in the release conditions for ships, others don't seem to mind at all.
I do find it odd that they don’t make it available ‘early’ to LEPpers, I can’t believe they’ll lose much if any arx sales and it would’ve got me back into the game to try the new ship and potentially spend arx making it look nice🤷‍♂️ I wonder what their thinking is, maybe there’s no one involved from the early days to perceive that it’s a slight
 
The new feature sounds really cool, sadly its not ship interiors... but it does open the logical path towards some form of base building in the future and should inject a lot more life into the Galaxy! I just hope it enables single players to realistically take part in colonization in some form and make it possible even if you are not part of a group. Obviously a single person being able to colonize multiple planets make no sense and would create too much of an imbalance, but even if it had a reasonable grind that single players could focus on with some prospect of success without making it too easy.

I forgot people brought the lifetime pass, i think frontier are expecting the people who brought it to do the same. Not getting anything else for free i dont think
 
How do we know which version of Cobra Engine that is used for Elite? Could it be that the V4.0 codebase moved the game to the latest (circa 2021) version of it?

We dont know

However, we do know that ED:Odyssey is using a DX11 version of Cobra engine that is not able to use DLSS/DLAA
We also know that JWE2 is using a DX12 version of Cobra Engine and it features DLSS and DLAA (JWE2 was actually a featured title when NVidia announced DLAA)
 
I heard about the new updates, so ofc I'm gonna check in :D
But I really dislike the idea of having ships being available with ARX and only available for in game credits after an undisclosed time.
I was actually looking forward to try if the Mandalay is PvP viable, but I guess I either need to pay or I will have to wait 🤷‍♂️
You could try the P2 for PvP.. ;)

Edit: I was ninjad, but in spite of the offset cockpit seat it's quite a nice fighting ship.
