It's getting so close now....

1.6 comes out tomorrow.... Horizons not long after.... I simply cannot contain my excitement. Sorry mods, I know this is a useless thread. Still feels sureal. I mean, yeah, sure, I've seen plenty of Horizons videos... But actually landing on a planet in-game is going to be something entirely different for me... PC Elite, and console Elite, feel like two different games atm for me. Especially with how much 2.1 changes the game!

Technically the "changes" will happen in 1.6..

Im Honestly more hyped about the 1.6 update, since that will totally change how we play the game. Horizons is "just" extra content.

So the NPC combat changes come out tomorrow and not in 2.1?

Me too. I'm at 54%, so hopefully I can get the last of it done tonight.

All changes made in the base game will happen with the 1.6 update..

So, yes, i truly believe, the NPC changes will happen tomorrow as well..

35%

Pray to the rng gods for me.

So are we saying that tonight at midnight the game will automatically update and install 1.6, if ones Xbox One is set to 'Instant On' ? what will happen if I am still flying my DBS in game at midnight ?

Pretty much why I bought a Imperial Eagle done to the 9's for speed.

No, the update will be somewhere tomorrow.

Not necessarily at midnight.


However, The Horizons DLC prolly does release at midnight just as any other DLC, or Game release on XboxLive.

Doubtful that it'll be at midnight, but you'll get a server shutdown notice in your comms.

It's absolutely worth the effort. I didn't really expect to like the corvette as much as I do. It's a beast of a ship

 

[Docjas18]

I'm very excited. Been planning all kinds of good things, have even written down some systems I discovered that had nice planets that looked like a good time to land on. They looked like candidates for landings. For 1.6, I have several load outs needing some love. Not to mention BB missions should be more fun.

I was very excited but now im MEGA EXCITED after i read this on this site http://www.elite-dangerous-blog.co.uk/Blog/2016/4/29/all-the-dirt-on-16 under "Communications" this got my attention : "Each commander is addressed uniquely by the ship manufacturer and first three letters of their CMDR name. e.g. "Lakon Alpha Romeo India you have permission to dock"........Waaaw.....is that really true?

Yup, judging by the reaction over on the beta 2.1 section of the forum... it's one of the features of the 1.6/2.1 patch that's universally agreed on as being awesome
