I was thinking over all that FD have said for this days, and now I decide to roll in with my comment.
First of all, thank you Will for the update. It was long awaited by the community.
Also, thank you for all your work you made before. Elite D. is one of my favorite games, and I spend in it more time then in any other game.
So if I understand it correctly, the development of New Era goes on since last August. It means that in total, it will take almost 2 years in development.
So potentially, there is around 70-100 people developing an update for 1.5-2 years. I might got the wrong impression, if so pls tell me.
In but at that point it is looks like that FD have enough time and man to develop a TOTALLY NEW GAME, but as they call it UPDATE, it means it suppose to be something gigantic.
I am writing it here just to let you see where my anticipation comes from and why.
So, what I expect to see now from the next ERA? Hmmm...
Total overhaul of planets, with adding atmosphere landing and Gas Giants?
Space legs and interiors for space ships, stations and e.c?
Or... BOTH OF IT????
Hell, I dont know, but this is really long time to wait.
I am a fun of Elite Dangerous, I love this game and I am not afraid to point out what I don't like about it. But this 1.5 year gap seams a bit too much for me...
So, Dear FD team, please give as some solid information about HOW MUCH we gona get as soon as u can.
And possibly, at list WHAT we gona get. No details needed, just show us what way you will go and do it as soon as u can.
That will make waiting game way easier for many of your fans.
Thank you for the great game you made for us.
I am uncertain about future of the Elite D. at the moment, but I still hope for the best. If that what it take, to make THE BEST SPACE GAME, I will wait.
After all... what other choice we have?
Yours sincerely,
CMDR Klemyr
