Please FD, do not forget about the ice rings! Use them!!!

I am not sure it's only the xbone's fault. Remember several months ago when there was that pop-up window asking for confirmation to send them our rig specifications? Perhaps, having all that data, they saw that average ED player uses junk PC. Still, that's not an excuse for not adding a lot more scalable gfx options, so that the people with high end rigs can enjoy visuals like on those amazing asteroid pics.

During the early alpha they promised us that they would make the game as beautyfull as possible but have tones of options to scale down the game for lowspec users... currently its the other way around it seems.
But during said time it was all about 4K screenshots and today we see allmost no mention of the 4K native support , sure you can run the game at said res , but what about the textures and so on?

Oh god, I hate ICE RINGS.

There was a CZ in Gende with the Ice Rings as a backdrop.

If they flew in front of them, you could not see a darn thing in the glare.

The light and glare are different when you are in them.
And perhaps under some circumstances there is glare... but that is all in the game.
You can choose to avoid doing combat there, but I would love to have a good game play reason to return there often.

It was not IN, but nearby, so it was this giant band of glare in the sky.

Put my sunglasses on, it was so bright.

nah...FD like to add things just for taking screens. Placeholders are their specialty. They just refusing to add valuable fun content. I have collected some pics from ED early stage about rings. very sad.

This NEEDS to come. It's exponentially better than the junk they have ingame now.

Braben I think it was talked about this. He hasn't forgot about ice rings, he wants to do something with them, but it probably won't be mining. But no plans for the moment.

This really means nothing at all. Wants to schwantz to. When is it coming? Tomorrow? Next year? In 10 years? It may as well be never without an ETA.

Yeah it's a terrible shame there isn't anything to do in the ice rings other than taking in the nice view, I really hope we will be able to hunt pirates or do some other activity there in the future.
