place your stupid high hopes " major feature overhaul for 2023 "

Personally I think organisations and people should be praised for keeping their promises.

Whether making it exclusive was a good thing I don’t know I wasn’t playing the game at the time.

While i dont disagree with this, let's not forget that C4 was an exclusive perk for Horizons Launch.
Horizon's does not even exist as a product anymore.

IMO, the moment they folded Horizons in the main game, they should have bring in the C4 as well.
 
hope its weapons engeneering . dont like that i have to overlap and desotry a mod for a weapon insted of saving it for later... dont know why games do this today . starfield does it to and its anoying...

A good point but I am happier with them that they didn’t do that than I would have been if they had.
 
The elimination of mining, trading, and exploration from the game.

Actually more than that. The elimination of everything not related to Thargoid combat.

Don't be silly. Those gameloops serve a vital function in that they can be used for some engineer unlocks to get the engineering needed for AX ships.
 
A paid expansion......... don't care which one, but one of the original FD proposed DLCs from back in the day.

(tho if i was gonna go even further and pick one it would be EVA (as in actual space legs) with wrecked ships and stations to explore, and then with a side helping of a fleshed out ships npc crew which would help with our endeavors)
 
I would really like them to make CQC free to download, heavily advertising the excellent VR aspect of it. Its a loss leader for the rest o the game,or even make it £1, whatever...its a possible gateway to the rest of the game.
 
Well, checking back on this resurrected thread, looks like at least some of us correctly guessed "Powerplay" with various degrees of confidence or hedging of bets.

(Though anyone who guessed "Engineering", "Supercruise" or "Extra Ships" can probably count that as a win too)

They used to sell it as a cheap standalone option (and had a free weekend for it, once) - I think I met one person who got into Elite that way, and I played a lot of CQC back then...
I guess from them no longer doing so that sales (and especially conversions to full game owners) weren't high enough to be worth them converting the standalone client to 4.0.
 
Odyssey engineer rework :
  • No components should require players to complete illegal missions (consistency of the World). You can (faster), but you don't have to.
  • Players don't have to instance-reload massacre a settlement to retrieve enough components to not spend hundreds of hours for one component for one suit.
  • Replace system filter on the map to get only main faction status by selective filter to get all factions status (limited to 200-500 AL around the player) (eg I'm looking for "famine" status, all factions, not only main system)

This is true already, though?

All components required for a blueprint are available as mission rewards, and the reactivation mission templates are valuable enough to generate any type.
Reactivation missions also let you entirely legally loot an entire base for whatever it contains, which covers all materials whether or not they're blueprint-required.
(Similarly the non-base surface salvage missions also only have legal-target scavengers)

So long as you have a system with a good supply of reactivation missions (or the more common scavenger-clearance missions, if you bring your own power regulator) it's not even necessarily that much slower than the illegal route.
