Mmmm...4/10 on the roleplay.
Too much overacting...try again.
(Ahh, it's nor fair having one of the grandmasters reviewing my very first comment
Challenge accepted, captain Needa
)agreed. I highly doubt FD will say "here's a planet with air, nothing more. Now pay". It's more likely that atmospheric landings will be bundled with appropriate content that makes landing in atmospheres have a purpose and worth the cost

Agreed on the too much overacting. Even so, it did not go far enough, a real member of the group we are not allowed to name, would have put in some flame bait to attract their enemies.

*** Well, what we have heard about phase 1 of landings is encouraging. It certainly seems to be more full featured than the minimum would have been, and we have seen those new slimmers today, that adds to it further.
Sorry, can't do the roleplay. You will have to just make do with honesty, and no hyperbole.

I really want to be excited about Horizons, but I just can't shake the feeling it's going to feel barren and lifeless. By which I mean, not being able to exit the SRV is too limiting. I fear its just going to be ED in a different cockpit, while attached to the ground. How can you explore a hidden base in a vehicle? I hope I'm wrong!

Well you're not wrong in as far as you won't be able to exit the SRV, but I hope you are wrong about not feeling excited for it
Small update re: 1.4 release and stress test/open beta.
Brief update to CQC Beta stress test & 'Mayhem' news, plus a link to the photo of the Federal Corvette.
Update from iDigitalTimes article:
- "Ships may not be getting much bigger but pilots can still expect meaningful changes to be introduced in Elite Dangerous: Horizons. Neither Frontier employee could/would elaborate but the duo did tease the possibility of bringing co-pilots into the equation. When asked whether or not we might finally see extra chairs being filled, either with AI crew members or other Elite: Dangerous players, Gapper smiled and complimented my "astute observation." ... "We're going to make people think about ships in a slightly different way." Dowie promised. [Link]
Wow great find, that's worth it's own thread!
I see we have a firm statement that Horizons will have 4 drops.
It would be great if someone on the community team collated all the tidbits from interviews and put them in the newsletter. I wouldn't have to scour the forums and google.
4 drops a year makes for a reasonable dev clock, one per quarter. Christmas next year will 99% likely be another paid expansion, with a Beta test starting 1-2 months out. Curious what that will be, whether planets with atmo is less work than walking around ships.
I just re-updating my thread containing statements about new features planned for the future. Check it out if you have time: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=102649
(since I took a break updating the thread after PowerPlay, there is still a lot of newer stuff missing, but with the help of the other community members I hope to get the most important stuff in there)
That's great news! So how many are to add to/expand the core content/mechanics/occupations not really touched for a year now? (eg: Add more stuff to exploration [link], or to make Piracy a proper viable occupation. Are any of them including ship transportation [link] and multi-CMDR slots with CR transfer etc?) Or is all that coming in the next Season after Horizons?
