Frontier Expo ED Speculation
- Thread starter Cosmo
- Start date
If my heads spins , you know I'm in one of those weird movies, cause nothing in any season has spun my wheels or HEAD
...Well maybe landing on planets but the 'beige' did me in, after awhile.
Anything is possible in the magical BGS economy 101
High 'expedition'.. the next ED novel whoops I meant expectation, 'the next paid installment of the Elite franchise 'exploration' Even if it won't be available until Christmas 2018'

Quite sure the Expo will be delayed by 90 mins due to an update, Most likely nerf the chairs and all attendee's will have to stand on one foot singing "God Save The Queen".
Jokes aside, hopefully they actually look at doing something constructive for 3.0 and not nerfing Elite into the ground that S2 has been most about.

It's only 4 days til the expo. Just go do something else instead of speculating. You'll have answers (or not) soon enough.
It's not "rampant negativity" that fuels my skepticism, it is my failing hope for the the future of the game due to the past few years. I sincerely want you to be correct because I'd love for the Expo to be all about 3.0 with lots of detailed information and sneak previews of things they've been working on. Actual stuff for non-combat players to look forward to, that would be fantastic. I just doubt that it will be.
Looking forward to the possibility of eating my words though, man do I hope you are right.
LOL, payouts are heavily inflated in season 2 as compared to season 1. It took my 1/6th as long to get a Cobra Mk III in Season 2 than it took me to originally get it in Season 1.
I'm planning on alternately napping, and taking the alt account back into the black with its new Python.
Hi all,
I don't expect anything, but I have dreams
I hope they'll cure the beige plaque and introduce atmospheric landings (on hmc planets and rocky worlds). Also I would love to see atmospheric features on planets (stroms, lightnings, volcanos), also on gas giants. Black holes should be very dangerous etc.

What I want to see are detailed improvements to the "core game."
1. PowerPlay is out, Tier 2 and 3 NPCs and factions are fully integrated into the BGS!
2. Fleshed out Military Careers, with benefits to ranks as well as special military missions!
3. Fleshed out Elite Rankings! (Make each rank promotion in each career a test, not just a counter)
4. Come hell or high water, we're going to fix wings/instancing/multicrew so that we can finally implement...
5. Co-Op missions and gameplay!
6. Conflict Zones fleshed out, as detailed in this post! https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...rs-with-combat-missions?p=5986595#post5986595
7. All those Megaships and Mega Structures/CQC Assets are given purpose in the game for missions and wars. Fierce, entertaining dogfights around all of them!
8. NPC crews, giving a reason for 3 spots in the crew lounge, with co-pilots who can do orbital approaches and dock to an engineer who can fix systems like an AFSU to a science officer who can scan wakes and planets, as well as operate various limpets.
8a. Why not make the NPC's visible in the ship using Holo Mes?
8b. While we're dreaming, let's enable all of these positions for multicrew.
And last and so very least in the game so far...
9. Something for the many, many frustrated Explorers looking for new and exciting things to see and do in deep space, from accretion disks around stars and black holes to comets, asteroids... ancient alien ruins, randomly generated rare natural wonders like Olympus Mons and Grand Canyons on a galactic scale, all which is recorded in an in-game database for other pilots to enjoy. Gameplay additions to scanning, replacing the almighty HONK, multicrew exploration where an exploration crew can work together to analyze their findings. Oh hell, just go into the Exploration forum and dig up the top 10 requests there, and just do ONE of them.
9a. And for god's sakes fix the beige plague already.
Think this is asking too much? Probably.
So my expectation is that like others well see a lot of Jurassic Coaster related stuff, but for ED we'll only hear some things "they'd love to do" from "the list," soon(TM).

After the last 2.4 update, Players hopes for Elite Dangerous now hinges on Frontiers Expo, to learn if the Dreamer having this dream called Elite Dangerous has woken up and moved on,
or is in fact, fast asleep and at the wheel ! .....[noob]
Die hards,[alien] Fanboys[heart], the loyal [up], and the somewhat stupid ( my boat) are miserably wishing the 10 year plan is true, and all the 'good stuff' is yet to come. ( cant wait to get in my Cobra )

I am assuming we will be seeing some of the core updates they have been working on. Military ranks, a better Power play, exploration mechanics etc.
We may get a look at what expansion 3.0 too. My bet would be basic atmospheric planets or gas giants.
Does it? I am very much enjoying the game and enjoying 2.4. Sure there are a lot of issues and areas that need to be better.

I think that they will - and they should - stick to their vision. Whatever they show will have haters running to the fridge for their Haterade, and they cannot win with some...so ignore them, and make the thing you planned on making, in its boldest strokes...if you want to tweak the edges, fine, but stick with your vision...it's your vision, and not the haters, that got you this far, period.
You're in the diplomatic corps? I find that hard to believe.
The little information we've been given by FDevs suggest that we're getting a reworking of what already exists, so that's what I'm expecting. If I'm very lucky, FDevs will decide that Metal2 allows the development of macOS Horizons, but that guess counts as my unreasonable expectation for this thread.
^^ classic stuff, and underpins how Die hards,[alien] Fanboys[heart], the loyal [up], and the somewhat stupid
( my boat) think of Elite Dangerous, and it is 'Visionary', this has never been lost on those who post / play and its that vision everyone wants, the entire Elite Dangerous community , have no fear in saying , wants Frontier to focus on Quality of Life Improvement-core Game mechanics. ............
So many horses for courses in Elite Dangerous, yet truly there's only one 'course' and that's OPEN
And the only way for OPEN to work is to deal with Quality of Life Improvement-core Game mechanics.
