Moving to a single Universe

Would be brilliant.... Looks at Dusty and Bongo with an evil grin.

Sadly as mentioned above I suspect it's more to do with MS & Sony rather than Frontier.

But one day.....

Let me at 'em!

Hopefully we'll never ever have cross-platform play. I like the prospect of more people to play with but it's not worth having the PC update schedule and feature set being even further weighed down by being locked to console ports. Updates and bug fixes already move at a pathetic infuriating crawl. It gets any worse and I'm out for good.

But hey if they wanna try it, CQC would be the best place to start.

They're already in sync so it wont make a bit of difference from that aspect,
 
Not interested in sharing the universe with peasants. Imagine the qq... "Hey it's not fair, he spent 6 grand on that rig, gets 144fps constant and has a massive advantage, nerf PC players nao!!'

/tongue in cheek, I am a PS4 and Xbox owner as well. But yeh, there will be qq that we have advantages. Then there's the player names, as said above, well done, I almost forgot. That's a huge issue.

Ha, yeah, there will be. When you start getting shot out of the sky. Gaming is what we do ;)
 
hmm, cross platform means the big CLASH-OF-COMMANDER-NAMES is incoming.

i wonder how that's gonna play out...

easy (hell or not i have no idea, but if PC names show up as they do now, PS4 names show up in blue and xbox names show up in green on their CMDR name then technically even if i met against PS4 mad mike and xbox mad mike in the same instance we would still all be different.
Also this would have the added boon if FD added a filter option for those who really did not want to be synced with other platform players.

I really can't see that being an issue. I am on PC and when playing on my monitor I have 60fps, when some have the 144fps, I don't complain and ask people with better stuff then me to get nerfed.

not to mention ps4 pro players vs ps4 vanilla
or xbox 1 X players vs xbox 1 vanilla players
 
What are you talking about?

The game requires a connection to back end servers. It is not possible to run the game locally. Also, the respective universes all feed into a single BGS that coordinates the various global game aspects such as who can see who, which factions expand / shrink, etc. It was a non techy way of saying that everyone is dependent on Frontier Servers to function.
 
You think I spent 6 grand on my rig to photoshop memes? See you in the black, cmdr. o7 ;)

Edit: by the way it's more like 4 grand, I got a bit carried away, lol.

Other than graphics is there that much of an advantage? We can map hot key combos and it is an analog controller. I for one would love to see this happen.

On a side note: Looking forward to see how you get on in that FAS build. Nice thread the other day. Building one of my own for the same reason. Palin must like me 525 boost on first roll in combat fit�� Just got to "git gud" now.

Other than the graphics card and a 144hz adaptive sync monitor and /or oculus rift (nice dilemma to have), and the x52 which is hardly a performance advantage, not really. In all honesty, I don't think my oculus or my pc, OR my joystick makes me better, though I'm sure everyone got that I wasnt really suggesting console players were any less, of course I don't believe that. The pc sure is a joy to play on though.

Regarding Halcyon Nights (the FAS), I'm not far off now, everything's got a decent roll on it (but no God rolls yet), except the PAs. Bill was the last engineer I needed to unlock and I reckon I'm about 1 hour away from starting to roll those PAs, then it's a couple of assassinations for testing and I'll update the other thread. :) I still can't decide focused or efficient (PAs) ... Decisions decisions. :) Thanks for the props

Nice! Mac and Linux here so no go for me and that's probably a good thing; hard enough time turning the game off now...with VR!!!! I'd be in trouble.
 
Would be nice and ED is one of the few games where disparity between platforms isn't as bad - much as I loathe controllers the younger generation in particular can be pretty adept with them so I doubt you would see as much of a gap in flight ability as compared with say an fps where mouse and keyboard will probably always destroy controller - plus ps4 can have the same thrustmaster hotas x I have on the pc and I still rate it as the best hotas bar none at any price. Pity all we see is support for game controllers on pc and very little support for keyboard and mice in games on consoles even though they are just reskinned pc's.
