Only just seen this ... woop! Thanks for listening Ed, I think/hope this will be a real crowd pleaser!

Hearing what Chris gregory said about the new lightning/volumetric effects for the whole galaxy and the new rock scatter system, they aim high for Q4. Exploration should be good as hell
I concur about the trade improvement, it rocks!
Good stream, but not a great one, IMHO!
- The planets looked nice from far away, but I, too, was hoping for some planet surface action to see the changes from up close, so I am looking forward to the next stream on Tuesday (to be honest, I was worried the reason why they didn't show the surfaces this time was that the surfaces themselves haven't changed all that much, no more details or variation, just new colour variations, and would probably just have killed the hype)
- Chieftain: very cool looking ship, will definitely try it out.
- Trade data improvements: in contrast to many others I wasn't blown away by the changes. Sure, it's pretty cool to have access to a lot more market information and be able to therefor make much better informed choices, but that isn't really changing the profession itself. I was hoping we might get new gameplay features like bartering. Since "Beyond" is advertised as the season that will bring significant changes and updates to the "core gameplay features", I was hoping for more substantial changes to the immediate gameplay itself.
- The megaship interactions I liked very much! Makes for some interesting scenarios and situations. Nice way to spice up the gameplay surrounding those beautiful in-game assets and structures! I just hope we get similar gameplay at dockable installations as well in the future (as was hinted at by Steve), so that dockable and un-dockable ships and stations aren't divided so artificially anymore. I think it would be awesome if you could try to pirate normal outposts or stations in a similar way, thus becoming hostile with the controlling faction, being chased away by security ships and perhaps even trigger anti-piracy missions around the station itself to appear on the mission board etc.

tbh, for the trade interface improvements,
i would have expected that TINY LITTLE QoL improvement that is
"clicking on the column header to sort the list by this column"
i mean, we have the very same list-design for "stored ships" and there we can do that.
aside of that
i was blown away, that they didn't copy&paste the new trade data thingy right away to the OUTFITTING and SHIPYARD,
or at least mentioned in once sentence, that they are planning to do so.

Bingo card for tonight's livestream!
Instructions: every time one of the phrases on the card is used you tick it off. Every time you get a full row, column or diagonal you shout BINGO! in the chat.

I know the majority of the playerbase is old .. but did you really have to point it out in such an obvious way?
Also, you spelt "Chieftain" incorrectly, grandpa.

Dag nab it.
Re: instructions ... someone asked in facebook so I thought I'd better spell it out.
As engineers are mentioned in the stream... couple of quick questions.
1. The planetary assets are beautifully designed but at the moment there is 0 reason to step out in your srv and enjoy them. Are there any plans for 'content' related to the engineer bases that means getting out and about and enjoying them. I see huge doors, big mining rigs, lots of places to drive but other than screenies, no content.
2. Longer term contact with engineers. Particularly missions. Once opened and upgraded is there any plan for engineers to contact you with missions etc?
3. I know we have a tech broker for funky new things but is there scope for engineer recipes that have to be unlocked/discovered via in game actions?
4. Auto ECM? More intelligent limpets? SRV engineering? SLF engineering? More interesting recipes and effects?

since "Amazing" is not on the card, is that the word for the drinking game?
I'll definitely be giving the bingo a go this evening!
I have a feeling they won't mention 'exploration' all that much though

Indeed ... inclusion of "exploration" on that card is intended as an act of scathing satire. If you scratch off "exploration", undernearth it you'll find mengy's forum avatar!

OK, my bet for "EVEN MORE" is planetary bookmarks. How'd ya' like them apples?
Would be too good to be true.
Doubt it.I'm very happy how 3.1 is shaping up to be, won't want to be too greedy.
"even more" either contains some words about multicrew,
or surprise release of the Krait,
or something related to the guardians, because we already saw the last time that the Tech broker asks for materials that we do not have yet...
as much as they tease it, i supect a cinematic teaser will be played for it.
