That isn't correct info. That interview with the lead of the XB1 project specifically said that we WILL be able to retain our ranks and all other in-game progress in addition to a BUY OUT of our current ship (s) and that credit can then be used immediately within the final version to buy back what we had before or completely different ships etc.
That's awesome news!!! I've been wondering about that since I got hooked on this game again (I used to play it on the Amiga 500 back in my military days). It's great to play it again - I hope to see some improvements with the NPC AIs, further cosmic realities (i.e.: not all moons are perfectly round, stars feeding off each other, etc.)

I have not read anywhere that saysthey WILL do that. I have read where they said the PLAN to and they AIM to. But surely, this is not the same things as they WILL.

So correct me if Im wrong, they plan on reimbursing you for the ship? Say if I had a python that was fully tricked out and everything, am I being refunded for just the ship or the ship with everything it had on it?
 
I have been asking this too and have seen a single about it. I want to know this too. We I first got the game I thought we were good becsuse of that account login. Hopefully it happens.
 
Played the Original on my BBC-B (By Acornsoft)
Oh How i miss that machine. I remember the day we upgraded from the Tape drive to the Floppy.. What a wondrous day that was...
 
Is there going to be a more customizable control option? I use a game pad for the PC version which has pretty much the exact same lay out as the xbone version. Except for my primary and secondary fire and accelerator/brake are swapped i.e RB is primary fire and RT is accelerate so I can increase speed slower.
 
Yeah, this is a known bug, so I've heard. Apparently the game isn't yet syncing with Xbox Live Upload.

Question for Brett:

Can i ask why xbox videos and screenshot dont show up in the xbox activity Feed?

Ive got so many great shots and video i want to share with my friends?

Is this a decision because the game is in Preview phase?

Becaus it looks great and we want to show it off :)
 
After my PC died I'll admit I was saddened that I could no longer play elite until I raised enough funds to repair it. Then I saw a message "Elite Dangerous available for xbox preview".....JOY!!!. I must say it took a while getting used to the Xbox controller but man do I love it. I just wish though that it was more populated. Cross play would be AMAZING! I am hoping with the release of Windows 10 that this feature would be more obtainable seeing how Xbox and W10 are pretty much built on the same foundation. But as for E : D on the xbox. 10/10 LOVE IT! FYI...my PC is still dead.

The way I understand it xbox and pc and mac can all coexist in the galaxy so when it goes live on xbox you will go live in the same galaxy everyone else plays in. That is really cool from a gameplay and technical perspective.

I think that it works slghtly differently....


PC and Mac users can see each other in-game and interact (EG: shoot at each other :)). Users on both OS perform actions and the results of those actions are fed into the Galaxy simulation.

Xbox users will also have the results of their actions fed into the one and only Galaxy simulation, but will not be able to see or interact (shoot at) players on the PC or Mac platforms (and vice versa of course).

My understanding is you buy the game once and then you can play it on whichever platform (PC, Mac or Xbox) you choose, someone may need to correct me on that though. If you have already bought it then no you don't need to buy it again, there will be an expansion out around Christmas, called Horizons, which you can buy for a discount if already own the game and will have access to an extra ship (cobra Mk IV, still have to buy it in game like all the rest). If you don't already own it you just need to buy the expansion and you get the full base game with it but cannot access them until the expansion is released (and no Cobra Mk IV, but then there will be 30 other ships at that stage anyway). Hopefully that clears things up.
