Gamescom 2015 - What will FD Unveil?
- Thread starter CMDR Soundwave
- Start date

I wonder what kinds of fish lurk on the colonized non-terraformed Earth-like planets that enjoy swimming behind the glass.

I think tomorrow´s announcement will bring peace to everyone, I feel like a child waiting for christmas gifts.
There are 2 possible endings:
1. A great thing that make us all come back to spend a lot of hours in ED waiting for the "great" update.
2. Another "powerplay""CQC" announcement that push ED to the rift.
Honestly, I have hope, a lot of hype and I trust the devs and designers. Tomorrow will be the day ED can be "the game" or just "another space simulator"
Good luck!

Just to remind people they have said the following in various threads
It is an announcement for PC (So nothing to do with xBox release dates or PS4)
It is not CQC related
It is not Walking around
It is not Thargoids
So planetary landings or something completely off our radar screens like PP was!

PP wasn't off my radar. It was exactly what I guessed it to be actually. Risk in space. So did a dev make a post to say it wasn't Thargoids or is that just forum consensus based on prior quotes about how Thargoids wouldn't be announced but would come in a heavily telegraphed not-so-surprise attack?
I am convinced that the NSA knows the secret
Cheese Souffle it is then.
CQC will be available on XBox tomorrow - gosh anyone would think there was a show going on, or something. But only in beta, of course. PC/Mac are getting it live the same day that XBox does. After the beta. Normal FD betas are far too short and expose lots of bugs that do not get fixed before the feature is declared to be live. Personally, I would like to see them do a proper beta for once, not that I really care since CQC is not something I will play.

I think if FD runs faster than SC can beat it with no efforts. SC is far far away, and if ED can give us decent planetary landings (or atmospheric flights to begin with), station interactions and an avatar, it would be a great step into space simulation like a decent exploring system, discovering, etc.
I know, I know, the "old" Elite was not this kind of game, just space and no avatar, but... I really love ED, don´t want to see SC killing this great game. SC is going to be great if they acomplish all the design doc, but it is far enough to let FD create the best space sim ever.

Elite the board game, instead of elite the bored game. Get it...get it, see what I did there
Not any of those things.
1. CQC is no news, I am sure to bet that's not part of reveal
2. CQC coming to PC/Mac in few days after *official* release of XBO version. Most likely September.
3. No Thargoids for long time, according to QA in Lavecon
It's not walkies, but no one have said anything about PL. So ruling out other things, PL seems like most real choice.
There is a slight tendency to overreact when it comes to PowerPlay. It's just an additional bit of content targeted at players putting in so many hours and complaining that the game gave them nothing to do. It's a completely optional addition to the game and nothing more than a content layer where there are so many complaints that the game lacks content.
Honestly, if they had made it so you didn't even know about PowerPlay unless you got a top rank with a faction and met a contact that enabled you to enter an Elite group of influence, I bet hardly anyone would have moaned. It'd be like an awesome deep complex mission structure. It's only that Frontier wanted everyone to try it that made it feel like a critical part of the game and fairly shallow.
People complain about Powerplay because it's a flagship enhancement to Elite, using up a shed load of development time, which has introduced a board game mechanic which I'd suggest most players are really not interesting in participating in (hence targets being met ten fold over by players not the least bit concerned with Powerplay really). Worse still, it doesn't really advance any gameplay mechanics itself, but lovingly embraces the same old grind-mini-games that have been in the game since last year. In short, the same, or more, could have been achieved with a simpler solution IMHO (eg: via Factions and missions in the bulleting board).
Worse still - and this is probably what annoys more people - imagine what that development effort could have moved forwards in so many areas of the core game mechanics... And yet worse still, development time is still seemingly being dedicated to it (and away from the core game).
Anyhoo...

Yeah, not getting PP hate neither. Have been playing game a lot recently, and it didn't change I play in one bit (well, except reading GalNet). I understand dislike, or initial impression. Doesn't change ED for me. I also see PP potential after going trough some reworking/tweaks as good way to drive galaxy change forwards, together with BGS.

lets brake it down shall we:
So you will be standing in the room and talk.... oh is see.
So yeah standing and talking,.... its the same thing. Different room
But trading is realy needed so you get a pass.
So some physical sign instead of UI in the ship .... people will use it few times then do it back from the ship cause its faster.
But its mostly easiest one to do
So they will stand there 24/7 to represent bulletin boards....nice we will have third UI for same thing.... right
you said that already - glorified chat room
What is it good for ? Want to play tamagochi ?
Can somebody please buy this person a bag with goldfish ? he seems to want one.
So many Bars, you are drunk aren't you ?
Another Chat-room with no other functionality
Yes you did, several times. Can somebody take him to pub he seems to want to go.
Game needs new/expanded mechanics not new places.
