Thanks for the breakdown. Now I have another bunch of CR to spend instead of saving for a cutter.
 
Yep those are smaller events, I think if they had a Big reveal Gamescom was the right place to do it...

Just like tonight they'll probably not even do a stream at PAX West.

There's also Paris Game week but not sure frontier has ever been there.

What about potential Frontier Expo?
 
Guardian power plant, Guardian distributor, Guardian weapons and now Guardian fighters?

You can see how it's gonna be a Guardian ship down the line. :)

Meh. But then again, it was known this would be a small update like the previous one.

Still hoping for a separate wing mission board, or the mission board is about to get even more flooded by wing missions.

Thanks guys, thats better than I expected for a small patch. Some cool stuff in there! :)

But the pure truth. I know this hard facts are neglected by some here, but

1) they have not delivered anything about exploration so far
2) they even have not said what they want to deliver
3) they only gave a rough estimation WHEN they want to deliver something that is not very clear (they done their best to keep the description vague at best)

To be even: I find your post disappointing. FDev must do the next move. They may do, they may not - who knows? They wont tell...

No, they said a fair bit about what they want to deliver, and showed it. They also said when they want to deliver it. There is zero ambiguity about them delivering exploration content in q4, including new exploration mechanics (which they showed), new things to find and environmental dangers (which they showed). You can spin it any way you want, but they are not neglecting exploration, they are actively working on it. Whether you can handle not knowing the details yet is up to you, but at least get the facts straight.

And I was hoping to be able to walk around my Krait Phantom :mad: .... and after landing on an ELW.

Nice reveal Speccy, +1 ;) (You may find a lot of NPCs attempting to shoot you down in the game from now on [haha] )
