OK, what year will we see the following in ED?

[ eg: Enter "2022". Use "0000" for never. Add a "+" if you think it will appear in a future new Elite game - so "2025 +" ]

Good luck CMDRs...

  • Panther Clipper (the biggest ship)? : ____
  • FPS Thargoids (FPS combat with Thargoids)? ____
  • Walking around ship interiors (and replace that Armstrong™ moment)? : ____
  • Base building (was rumoured, will it appear)? : ____
  • Weather (rain, clouds, lightning)? : ____
  • Procedural plants (based on Stellar Forge/terrain maps)? : ____
  • Procedural animals (based on Stellar Forge/terrain maps)? : ____
  • VR support (eg: Odyssey first person VR support)? : ____

Great question ;)

This is what I think is likely, not necessarily what I am hoping for:

  • Panther Clipper (the biggest ship)? : late 2022 (the next major non-premium release)
  • FPS Thargoids (FPS combat with Thargoids)? 2021 (Already in the game waiting to be triggered)
  • Walking around ship interiors (and replace that Armstrong™ moment)? : Early 2022 (Console release/re-merging of main game & Odd) for replacing the teleport with a transition animation, ship interiors probably never now.
  • Base building (was rumoured, will it appear)? : 0000 Probably never
  • Weather (rain, clouds, lightning)? : Early 2024 (next PDLC, actual atmospheres)
  • Procedural plants (based on Stellar Forge/terrain maps)? : 0000 Never, only the current format of proc placement from a limited pool of assets
  • Procedural animals (based on Stellar Forge/terrain maps)? : 2024 for fauna, 0000 never (see above) for assets
  • Big-game hunting dinosaur missions (Braben™)? : 2024 (see above) although probably already included in another game

Never.

Slightly more serious answers:

Panther Clipper
Never
If they were going to add it, they would have added it already. It serves no real purpose anyway.

Ship Interiors
Never
They said they have no plans for it - why not believe them?

Base Building
Never
See Ship Interiors

Procedural Whatever
Never
Again, if they were gonna do it, they'd have done it already

Weather
Next DLC - so released in 2024, working in 2025

Thargoids
I actually think we might see this one - 2023

Big game hunting
The DLC after we get atmospheric planets, because that won't include Earthlikes
So, 2027/2028
