Lifetime pass discussion thread.

If they do extra characters per account, I suspect that they'll be store purchases also, but they'll likely cost less then getting a new account. If I had to guess, I'd say that it's somewhat more likely that they'll eventually offer extra character slots than not.

But of course it's up to you if it's worth the risk either way. Also, who knows how long it'll be before they offer extra character slots, if they do at all?

In space no one hears me scream. My neighbors are gonna hear me scream when my wife finds out what I just paid and batters the hell out of me

LOL - I hear you there. Good luck!

This is what your own personal / private account is for -

 

[SlickReed]

Missed this at KS by a day (typical)

So just brought it for my main account

Now in a dilemma I want a second commander so i can play pirate without wreckin my glorious imperial navy career (and FD seem to have gone quiet on the second commander slots)

So do I spend another £130 on buying it on steam to have 2 separate accounts

Or wait and hope FD grant us extra commander slots

Pirate in independent and anarchy systems, no need for another account.

Good question, I have been thinking about buying another copy though Steam myself. If I had to guess, I would imagine you have to buy the expansions separately for each account.

Pirate in independent and anarchy systems, no need for another account.

In my case, I plan to use the second account primarily for deep space exploring.​

Add me to the list.

Like many others, I missed out on the kickstarter phase, so I see this as a way to sort of get on that bandwagon (beta access and all).

 

[CmdrJacks]

hmm

I don't do preorders as a general rule. I didn't back the kickstarter because I was sceptical (I've been hanging around these parts for the best part of 20 years, some of you wouldn't believe the promises we've heard) I admit I was wrong this time and I ended up ordering the Mercenary edition, and now I'm preordering three years worth of stuff. Damn you FDEV, first you ruined my GCSEs and it wasn't enough for you was it? I hope you're happy, I know I am.

oh, 120 pounds, lets see how much that is in canadia--- oh my god 267 dollars?

dumb lifetime pass question

Before I bite the bullet and throw a wad of USD at frontier... Even tho just a month ago I bought the initial game.. And a couple weeks after a X52 pro.. ( damn this new adventure of mine is expensive! Lol) I'm just wanting some confirmation that people with the pass will always get the preorder style bonuses (like the new cobra in this one and any future ones)

LOL - You have a kind of scary way of being happy.

Got the lifetime pass just now.
Was in a hurry in case it distapperd so I have no idea if I now have beta access to anything.
Time to go back to mouth-breathing and speaking in monosyllables.

Yup - same. Though I already had Beta access, I figured I may as well get the lifetime pass while it's hot.

Z...

 

[simulacrae]

Woo hoo Just joined the club !!! Its always exhilarating when you lighten your pocket book like that - REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS

 

[NoThinSkinDin]

In... LEP, yessuh.... LEP, indeed!
I figured I 'grinded' my way to a Python since Feb. Might was well go 'all in.'
I think we'd all better be nice to each other - cuz we'll all be here for quite some time!

 

[GrimThara]

All of you buying the lifetime pass make me feel guilty for not doing it myself. I get that in the long run I save some cash and such but it just feels like a ridiculous amount of money and I can't bring myself to it right now. I hope I can be forgiven for buying the regular £30-40 expansion.

 

[Dogeh]

oh, 120 pounds, lets see how much that is in canadia--- oh my god 267 dollars?

$250 if you do it in euros...
Save a few bucks here and there, eh?

 

[KellyR]

No lifetime pass for me. I want to continue to support this game. I absolutely love it. I buy a lifetime pass and that's it. No more money from me except paint jobs. No thanks. I'll continue to support them.

 

[AluminumAlloy]

Edit: nevermind

 

[BloodravenD]

Until they actually put content in the game to make it enjoyable, I see no reason to spend an absurd amount of money on a lifetime expansion pass.

 

[GrimThara]

Where can and how can you purchase the lifetime pass?

Right here on their own store : https://www.frontierstore.net/games...ngerous-horizons-lifetime-expansion-pass.html

I think I will continue to find ways to happily spend money on ED still

Edit: nevermind

its in the store

edit - ninjad - but ya where else would it be --- edit agin -- unless you have the same problem as this guy

I had no options at all and my country wasn't even listed. Support told me to change my address to the UK, buy the package, then change it back... and it worked..
