Is there a day 2? Can someone please ask if they've considered putting CQC missions into the game with rewards that scale based on server population?
LaveCon 2018 QA quick recap
- Thread starter Cmdr Eagleboy
- Start date
Even if they are just normal limpets, since they are synthesizable it's not a big deal. Just fit a size 1 cargo slot and make them as you need them.
I am still hopeful that the DSS probes are ammo, rather than limpets. Not enough info to go on from Sandy so it could easily go either way.

Yep, that is correct. DWE2 will launch after the Q4 update and not before.
That's the issue though. A lot of exploration ships do not have space to fit a cargo rack, at all.

Bring it on!! \o/
I recall them saying back in October 2017 that exploration improvements would also be tied in with mission improvements. My hope is that they will do away with the 100% procedural nature of Mission Targets (for stuff like Planetary Scans & Salvage Missions) in favour of a more semi-procedural system, where the targets become persistent from a fairly early stage in the mission, & you require actual skill to track the mission target down.
From what I heard, they won't depend on Multi-crew......but Multi-crew will make it easier & probably more fun. Thank goodness they've decided to add more stuff for people to do in multi-crew outside of combat. Now lets just hope they will also allow for crew-mates to enter SRV's.
Also, I think its high time they gave SLF's very limited Scanner & Cargo carrying capabilities.
I agree, I've said this all along. I feel this way about mission targets too. I don't want a return to Season 1 to early Season 2 (where you literally had to drop in on every USS/PoI to find your mission target), but I think the system we've had since 2.1 is much too simplified. I believe a half-way point between the two extremes does exist. Where exploration tools can be used to narrow down-but not pinpoint-the stuff we are most interested in finding.
Certainly it's possible. Lightning in nebulas is in my suggestion thread in my signature, I've been asking for it for four years now. I'd bet on it being a precursor to lightning strikes while flying in storms in atmospheric worlds too, even gas giant atmospheres. Shields could absorb a couple hits, after that your taking hull damage! (hopefully)
This is a fantastic sign, very promising IMHO.
The lighting improvements look amazing, and holy frack at those ice planets!!!
If they can create effects like Nebula Lightning......then can they really be that far away from producing land-fall planets that have at least a rudimentary atmosphere? Not Earth-likes perhaps, or planets with very complex atmospheres.....but simple Martian-type planets could surely be a possibility?
I also hope that they're considering making solar ejecta more than a throw-away visual effect, & actually make "solar surface instability" more of a risk to unwary pilots.....particularly those who fuel scoop in a careless fashion. It's also time for Black Holes to get a visual & game-play overhaul IMHO.

No. No, this won’t “of course” mean that they’ll introduce an orrey map.
Take what you saw for what it is and don’t jump to premature conclusions. Implying additional and unconfirmed content only sets you (and others) up for disappointment when the content doesn’t arrive and will drag down the enjoyment of what we will get!
So :”Yeh! Exploration drones!” ... and nothing more for now!
You know, as sarcastic is this may sound- it actually bears much resemblance to how skeptical I am at present.
The only thing I've seen mentioned as a "reveal" for exploration specific content in the probes...
Hopefully there's a lot more for Explorers in Q4 than just... probes.
Lighting and color effects... that's an "everyone" category and something that should have already been done.
Oh, I am actually not sceptical at all.
They were showing way more information than I expected at Lavecon.
And what I saw was quite exciting. (Those electromagnetic storms, for example, are definitely “explorer content”, don’t you think?)
It’s just the tendency of some people to build “the perfect game” in their head and the follow up disappointment and angry forum reactions, if reality can’t live up to this fantasies.

For me the disappointment stems from reality not living up to the vision painted in the KS campaign and DDF.
Watched the video and all very pleasing; did some mining for last night and definitely felt jaded after considering what is hopefully down the tracks in Q4.
One thing that did strike me was that I presume the Q&A was vetted; no questions re. Spacelegs, powerplay etc etc that is consuming these forums unless, unless....

Forums are small sample of community. Lot of forumians even don't know Lavecon happened.
Fortunately, Lavecon 2018 has been announced in the newsletter
Increase the number of Cmdrs informed (For those who receive the newsletter)

They specifically stated there were more things they weren't mentioning.
