Will this one be demonstrating Alpha 4? :D

You don't really expect them to answer that do you? ;) I think they will be demonstrating it though because I have a sneaky suspicion that it will be released either late on Wednesday or early Thursday morning to coincide with the stream

I also dont see the point of a new stream unless there is something new for us to see since folks like Kerrash and Psykokow have been streaming for a while now.

Q: What's the one thing you've most been looking forward to implementing for decades that you've finally been able to get in this time?[/SIZE]

I believe David has already stated that the thing he most wanted for ages was the multiplayer. Personally I am looking forward to being able to get out of my ship and wander around a planet or spaceport. Unfortunately I don't think that will be in the game until some time next year assuming that they are able to get the game out this year :D
 
I have a request about the next streaming, (if it is possible of course...)

would you (Mark or who i don't know) provide to upload it as soon as possible (may be the very next day) on YOUTUBE ?

i request this because i have serious troubles with Twitch.
So, for me, and everyone who have problems to see it on Twitch, will be nice to see it sooner on the youtube channel.

thanks in advance.

Questions from The First Great Expedition

Mark,

The First Great Expedition has a forum set up for anyone wishing to join in and we have collected a few questions for your consideration to include in the stream. I have arranged them into vaguely connected groups of questions.

1) Does Michael Brookes want to join the Expedition? (and will he bring his Imperial Capitol ship with him, please :D)



2) Inflatable stations, will there be fuel refining plants on the stations?

3) Can we give other pilots access to inflatable stations? Maybe with varying levels of access?

4) Can we setup contracts for pilots to pick up things at such stations?

5) Will we be able to service ships using inflatable stations?

6) Are inflatable stations conquerable/destroyable?

7) Will we be able to dock multiple ships at an inflatable station - i.e hangar space and being able to switch between ships owned?



8) What are the options for in-the-field maintenance?

9) Can we carry ship modules as cargo and fit them in the wild?

10) Will 'wear and tear' or requirements to service ships limit our range?

11) Can we transfer fuel from one ship (Ie a tanker / trade ship) to more than one other ship at a time?



12) Is navigation data able to be sold to more than one person (copy of a copy of a copy) idea.

13) Will we need to carry supplies like food and water to sustain the crews?


14) Will it be possible to get a new ship delivered to the farthest explored systems?

15) Will we be able to transport smaller ships between stations in large cargo ships e.g move a sidewinder using an Anaconda?

Another question from the First Great Expedition:

Are Alliances permanent or do they need to be recreated every gaming session?
 
Questions for the 1st May

Question for the Twitch on the 1st May, mostly involving Alpha 4.

1) Are the Multi player Missions from Alpha 3 in Alpha 4?

2) Although the emphasis is on travel and trading? Can players also pirate NPC or player vessels in Alpha 4.

3) Are there any Gas Giants to try to scoop fuel?

4) Can we post bounties on other Commanders (with the exception of Frontier staff I assume), if so can I put down some credits down in advance on Commander Yan? :p
 
Hopefully the stream will be fluently this time around, because last time the video was stuttering like mad. And please upgrade your webcams. The camera quality was seriously poor!
 
My question to the panel is this:

Zelada Station has 3 tons of Camel Humps for a price of 30cr for the lot. Myself and my two best trading buddies decide to stump up 10cr each and buy them. We plan to take 1 ton each to help furnish our ships.

Zelada Station then says that there has been a mistake and that the correct price for 3 tons of Camel Humps is 25cr and gives me a 5cr refund.

I thank Zelada Station for their honesty and agree with my trading buddies that we will each take 1cr back and give Zelada Station the remaining 2cr as a thank you.

So, to the "question" part. Us three traders have each spent 9cr, that is the original payment of 10cr, less the 1cr refund. 3 times 9 is 27. Add the 2cr we gave to Zelada Station and that's gives us 29cr.

Where did the other credit go?
 
1.) Will trading only consist of goods that serve no use outside of trading, or will we be able to trade goods that are also used for crafting/manufacturing weapons, ships, ammunition, etc.?

To what extent will player manufacturing have in the Elite: Dangerous universe?

2.) How will storage work for personal and group items? For instance, can I set up a temporary station out on the fringes of space to serve as a fuel supply for me and my friends?

My questions from the previous go that didn't get answered. Hopefully the second and third will be answered by an actual demonstration... :)

Q) What effect on the game visuals and gameplay mechanics did the supercruise evolution from "0.2c" to "significant fraction of c" to "multiple c" have?

Q) Will supercruise travel provide an interesting visual and gameplay experience / one that's easily distinguishable from hyperspace or normal flight?

Q) When can we see it? ;)
 
So, A4 tomorrow, and stream about it on Friday? Or Stream reveal on Friday, with A4 on Tuesday (is Monday a British holiday?)

I repeat my question: i am Italian, here in Italy tomorrow is official holyday: people is at home, kids too - no school, no work.

is the same in England too or the 1 may is holyday only when it's on monday ?

please help me to understand and sorry for my ignorance.

The banks control us.
They are evil.
Banks.
