Elite Dangerous PS4 Feature Requests and PS4 FAQ

Inara.cz is a site where lots of people register their groups. At the moment you can only choose between PC and Xbox platforms. It's run by one guy (I think!) called Artie. At least he's answering all the queries on the noticeboard there.

That's good information but I'm not sure we are discussing the same thing. I played the original game in the 80's but I don't remember my username in the game. Is there any way to recover that information and transfer it into the ps4 version?

Highly doubt it unless you have the machine and your save game anywhere that you originally played on.

Your CMDR name as discussed elsewhere will be your PSN ID.

Do I need PS+ or PSN to play open mode?

You need Playstation Plus (PS+) to play Open mode. PSN = is short for PlayStation Network, a PSN ID without a PS+ subscription will allow Solo mode only. PlayStation Now you do not need (for anything, its garbage).

Thanks. I guess I'll look for a ps+ card on sale.
 
If players bought the Standard Pre Package and not the deluxe package, When will the Horizons DLC or season pass be available as a separate purchase is the Playstation store?

probably day one same as most games when they release, the reason that they are not on show is because there is no point having the dlc when there is no game to go with it

But will the price be the same as on the Xbox store? Because I'm worried that I won't be able to afford Horizons for a while. And does the base game have enough content to keep me invested until I buy Horizons?

Highly likely yes. Not guaranteed but I can't see why if the deluxe version is the same price why the DLC would be higher.

Added to the OP, not in the main FAQ for info.

Will the trophy list be published before release?
This is unlikely according to Gary Richards, Senior Producer (Source Forum: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/353465-Dear-FDev-please-allow-100-trophies-in-solo-mode-(and-no-CQC-trophies)?p=5587662&viewfull=1#post5587662 but may be soon[TM] see forum link below in the next question regarding CQC)

Will the platinum trophy require CQC trophies?
Yes, although not fully confirmed the 250 win requirements from the Xbox has been reduced to 25 according to Edward Lewis, Community Manager (Source Forum: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...QC-trophies)?p=5588602&viewfull=1#post5588602)

well that makes things a lot more interesting now
 
What will be the touchpad function? Looking at the different panels or accessing the galaxy map? And what about the motion tracking? Will it be used for head turning and can it be locked?

I knew there was something else to add.

Correct, the touchpad can be used to move around the Galaxy Map in much the same way as you would use any other touch device, you can also use pinch/spread to zoom in/out and press-hold to move up and down the Galaxy Plane, when not in the Galaxy Map each of the touchpad corners act as a separate button, the defaults are top left/right cycle fire groups and bottom left/right select the left/right panels. Like the other platforms all button controls are fully remappable.

I read the FAQ and searched but found nothing about it.

Will there be any 3rd party tool for trading?

I am talking about sites like "elitetradingtool.co.uk" or similar.

Thanx in advance

I'm not sure what you mean. All the third party tools will exist; these are all based off information gathered from PC players and the API (which I understand is still available and the third party devs and Frontier are actively communicating about it).

They may exist in the future but only as add ons through the ps store. One cannot incorporate third party programming (mods) into a consel, hence the issues separating pc's players from consel players.
