More rubbish... E: D is already lower settings that you can get on the PC version.
I've no idea how Sony operate, but I've got a pretty good understanding about MS.
Please FD, do not forget about the ice rings! Use them!!!

you are so naive...

today, my cockpit is still worse than that images from beta, not only that, the lighting on the hangar from that beta version is superior to the current in game... not to mention the asteroid fields posted on previous pages...
care to explain why we can't have those nicer graphics despite the fact that a gtx 970 can have great frame rates in this game at excess 100 fps in 1080p? I'm very sure many of us with the capable hardware wouldn't mind lower frame rates if we could have those nicer graphics...

Yes of course. I'm naïve enough to distrust articles that start with "Fans claim that", rather than provide any solid information.
That article also has nothing to do with the Xbox, so is irrelevant. Nice try. Want another go?
It could be just that FD dont realise how much of us care about graphics.
and sins FD are more secretive than the dark wheel , it is possible that a graphic overhaul is on its way. it possible that more nerfs are on the way , we just have to wait , the wait is killing me but I belive they still have a chance of doing the right thing when it comes to graphics.
One major issue I think , is they dont tell us what is placeholder so therefor we dont know if something is unfinished or lazy , and that can get in the way
I agree, would be ideal to have CZ's with planet terraforming turning rocky planets in goldy-lock zones into earth like ones, using ice rings of water. Mine them and ship the water to planets being terraformed.
Oh look lots of doom and gloom remarks with absolutely no basis in fact. If people are going to make comments about how bad the game has got without any data with itemised proof, not including my mate say's so too, so it must be true, and the I agree with you mate, and silly remarks about another Space sim that seems to get further away with each passing week, month, year.
I really wonder why some people don't play the game and enjoy it, or is it that they come on the forums to spread their misery around so others can become as miserable as they are.
If you don't like Elite simples, Don't play it and don't bother to post the old boring rage quit notices.
/me waving bye bye.

Well it's all about priorities,graphical tweaks come a the end surely.
Even during late beta the quality went down , so my guess is its not consoles but some form of alien priority systems.
maybe they want to get everything working before adding diversity... just wish they would tell us
The rare good Baltha'Sine Vacuum Krill is supposedly harvested in the ice rings of Baltha'Sine 4B. Unfortunately there is nothing there.
Even if we couldn't mine them ourselves, it would be nice to see NPC ships harvesting the krill.

This is one of those cases in which game play should prevail.
I do not care whether it would be feasible, profitable or whatever in the real world, or even in the Elite universe.
I want this for just one single reason: These ice ring environments are incredibly beautiful.
FD can just make up some stuff to make us go there, mine there, fight there.
It does not have to be realistic. It just has to feel realistic in a gaming context.
If I am not mistaken I noticed some considerable increased detail on asteroids since Horizons.

They said that there is a ten year development plan. I suggest we come back in ten years and then play the awesome game with all the cool graphics and mindboggling abundance of fun features that Elite will have become

I wish I was able to level headed like that
They WERE beautiful; up until about 6 months after retail. Then the visual downgrading began. By those beta screenshot of the different roid types..which looks amazing...THAT is what i would expect a ultra setting to give us.. Ah well..I could go on a rant for hours regarding the rings, and FD's near dismissal of dealing with it.
The first thing that comes to my mind about what he should do, is to fix them.
In beta we had the same astroids as today but we had :
Shadows casted by other astroids
Dencer fields
Volumtric fog
However the astroid types have allways been the same and using the same model just the resolution was reduced around 1.3 , as well as removing the fog.
that screenshot must have been either alpha or inhouse beta.
I have had issues with astroid rings ever sins beta2 were there lods allways looked horrible but I said to my self ''they will fix it its only beta''
Agreed. Ice rings would make an excellent background for missions.
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.
