Module Storage to be doubled for 3.0

Especially since he said at the beginning of the stream that it wasn't going to happen ! :D

Didn't Sandro say that about Space Legs too? :p
 
I scribbled down some answers to what I thought were the most interesting questions. You can find them here or below.

Q. Extra module storage?
A. This has now been doubled to 120.


Q. Will SLF’s have outfitting capabilities?
A. Nothing to announce, something they may do at some point but will be done when it fits in the schedule.


Q. Limpet Bay?
A. Frontier are looking at a Limpet controller rack that will store a number of controllers in them.


Q. Tracker limpet?
A. In the big list and very much wanted.


Q. Any chance of being able to change the colours of the HUD display?

A. Not at the moment as it’s a significant amount of work.


Q. Engineer tech brokers weapons?
A. Very likely to happen in Beyond at some point.


Q. Will the Discovery Scanner and surface scanner see updates?
A. Yes, later in 3.0 as part of the exploration update Frontier will look at all of these.


Q. Will ATR Ships become persistent? (ie. they will follow players out of a system)
A. Sandro said this would be looked at, but not until they have seen how ATR operates in the initial release.


Q. Are Frontier looking at using mega-ship interactions in other areas such as capital ships, combat zone and planetary outposts etc.?
A. Yes. Looking at a few areas but no further comment at the moment.


Q. Can Combat zones and RES sites be improved?

A. Yes, these sites will be looked at but these are long term plans.


Q. Will bookmarks be colour coded and see other updates?
A. Yes, these and possible other changes could well come when they introduce the codex later in Beyond.


Q. Changes to Powerplay?
A. They would like to integrate missions into powerplay and have some ideas, but no ETA, guarantees.


Q. Any plans to stop players from permanently boosting their ship engines? (specifically as it’s causing issues during battle)
A. Yes, this will be looked at as it should not be at a loss of tactics during battle.


Q. Will there be further iterations of wing missions?
A. Yes, there will be more wing missions coming.


Q. Changes to smuggling?
A. Yes, but nothing to comment on at the moment.


Q. Will it be possible to re-name engineered modules?
A. It’s on the list.


Q. NPC Crew & Wings?
A. It’s something we want to do, but we need a bunch of other stuff such as communicating with NPC’s and more rules to govern them, so not at the moment.


Q. Any plans for changes to the Asp Scout?
A. There are some “come cool plans for the Asp Scout, that I’m not allowed to talk about”.


Q. Will colour changes to planets reflect the content of the planets?
A. No, but the exploration mechanics in the 3.4 update will assist with figuring this out.

Great work, repped. Was gonna do another of my summary threads but I'm lazy tonight. :)

They also said that they are looking at new weapons to deal with shield booster stacking. They realised that nerfing boosters for everyone wasn't the best way to deal with high-capacity shields used by combat vessels, hence the new approach to deal with this issue.

Woohoo! Just noticed this by accident in the beta and searched for threads on it. Knew someone would beat me to it. I think FD has addressed nearly every gripe one of my top gripes now.
 
Now all we need is ship cannibalisation so we can equip modules from our other ships without having to fuss with switching between them. Anyone know if this has ever been asked about?
 
Btw, am I the only one who thinks Sandro et al. seem way more relaxed and upbeat lately, and way less cagey and anxious in their answering? :)

I think I've noticed this as well. I think the team might just be getting better at handling the community as they become more experienced with it.
 
In General, it is in german, but i guess you will get the message out of the Picture ;-).

It is a list of ships, where i have stored Modules and i have more storage ships than "normal" ships, so a higher modul storage would be nice!!!

They also don't have that Horizons roadmap above their head and this year they can finally work on all the improvements the community wants. So it must feel good for them to make so many people happy.

They love their game, we love their game, we all want it to be better and 2018 is a big year for that.

Its really not.

I didn't even know there were storage limits on modules. I think I have 5-10 modules in storage at any one time.
So its currently 60? .... do people actually hit this limit?
