They have already said it is not going to be going walkies.
Probably the Federal Corvette or something. They're not really interested in actually improving the gameplay.
Well, looking at this logically - they haven't released 1.4 yet, so they're not going to be talking about anything that takes the attention off that.
If it's not a major release then, it's either an optional expansion pack that isn't key to the main game (such as planetary landings?) or an in-game change that doesn't require a major release. Aliens? Federation vs Empire war? Or - gulp - a PS4 version?

Bar, trade hub, crew quarters, mission bulletin board, NPC missions givers, Bar, Aquarium, Bar, Guild meeting area, did I mention a Bar?
They have used the word 'colossal' and the phrase 'game transforming'. They definitely think it is major, and presumably think we will think so too, given that they saw us so unimpressed with their PR around powerplay. They also said PC/Mac, so that rules out PS4 as the big announcement, though I do expect a PS4 version as soon as the exclusive period with the XBox ends, so probably around Christmas. So something big from out in left field, as powerplay was, or the first bit of the first expansion, which given that they have ruled out walkies, would be planetary landings. Probably a sneak peak of it in play, with an announced release date, perhaps for Christmas.

Bar I second that motion. With these recent CGs really could use a drink!
They're going to announce three things:
1. Getting rid of switching game modes with a given cmdr. Current cmdr's will have to choose a permanent open mode cmdr and will be able to create another for non-open or vice versa.
2. Cheater perm bans. This includes players who exploited bugs where provable. This will be applied to players with any records of past transgressions.
3. Anaconda paint jobs

Ok I'm against perma open until connections are fixed so there are less crashes in populated areas. When in a station with 10 friends yesterday and all of us crashed at the same time. Also there are people that like playing in solo and don't wanna deal with people in open. Why can't they have the same influence that you do in open? Did they not pay for the game as well? There are many threads all discussing this and going back and forth about it. So lets not bring it up here please. Part of me already regrets saying anything lol
Other 2 points I agree on.
The other 2 things I wouldn't consider colossal though or game changing.
Well the first 2 - obviously not a chance. 3 - maybe.
As for game transforming content that's such a broad statement that it's anyone's guess. Complete mission and PP overhaul and some love finally given to the Alliance. Fighter bays for ships with npc crews and wings options. Military drives and possibly other components. The first signs of alien life, systems and tech.
I know it's your job but still, gratz on your good mood even when we're so grumpy. FD, give this guy a raise dammit : he is probably the only reason why we stored our forkes and pitches. For now.
1. CQC coming out for XBone on that day available for download straight away.
2. CQC coming to PC/Mac in less than a week.
3. Thargoids.
It's not walkies, it's not planetary landings and they've already paved the way for factional warfare with Powerplay. Thargoids will be the big announcement and it will be a game changer as it forces everyone on a side forced to defend the space they've carved out for their respective factions. Thargoids will be a direct thread pushing controlled space.

Wouldn't that be the biggest let down?
They're going to announce and hype something that won't be in the game before long and will endup botched like the main game, and you'll have to pay extra to get it. The good side is, they can't disappoint me any longer
Where did they say it's not Planetary Landings?

Dear god I hope it's not just PS4. That would be neither "Collosal" nor "Game-Changing"
